                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
     The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read
in conjunction with, the more detailed information and financial statements
(including the notes thereto) included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Unless the
context otherwise requires, as used in this Prospectus, (i) the terms "Company"
and "ProSource" mean ProSource, Inc., together with its direct and indirect
wholly-owned subsidiaries, (ii) the term "Common Stock" means, collectively, the
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to be outstanding immediately
following completion of the offering and (iii) the term "pro forma" or "on a pro
forma basis" with respect to financial information for the Company's fiscal year
ended December 30, 1995 means such information, as adjusted to give effect to
the acquisition by the Company of the National Accounts Division of The
Martin-Brower Company and to the consummation of the offering and the
application of the estimated net proceeds thereof (assuming an initial public
offering price of $15 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the
cover page of this Prospectus) as if such events had occurred on January 1,
1995. Except as otherwise noted, all information in this Prospectus (i) gives
effect to the conversion of all of the Company's outstanding shares of Common
Stock into Class B Common Stock and a 100-for-one stock split that will occur
prior to the commencement of the offering (the "Recapitalization") and (ii)
assumes that the Underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised. The
Company's fiscal year consists of a 52- or 53-week period ending on the last
Saturday of each calendar year. Fiscal 1994 consisted of 53 weeks.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
     ProSource is the nation's leading independent foodservice distributor
specializing in distribution to chain restaurants and is one of the largest
foodservice distributors in the United States. The Company distributes a wide
variety of items, including fresh and frozen meat and poultry, seafood, frozen
foods, canned and dry goods, fresh and pre-processed produce, beverages, dairy
products, paper goods and cleaning and other supplies. The Company specializes
in providing food and food-related products to two segments of the restaurant
industry -- limited-menu quick service restaurants, including Burger King,
Arby's, Long John Silver's, Sonic, Chick-fil-A, TCBY and Wendy's, and casual
dining restaurants, including Red Lobster, Olive Garden, TGIFriday's and
Chili's. ProSource is an indirect subsidiary of Onex Corporation. See
"Business -- Controlling Stockholder" and "Risk Factors -- Control of the
Company; Benefit of the Offering to Controlling Stockholder."
 
     The Company was formed in 1992 to acquire Burger King Distribution Services
("BKDS"), the "in-house" distributor for Burger King Corporation ("BKC"), which
serviced approximately 4,150 Burger King restaurants. In the four years since
the acquisition, ProSource has, through a combination of acquisitions and
internal growth, become a leading distributor to chain restaurants, servicing
approximately 14,450 restaurants within 18 different restaurant chains. Through
a series of acquisitions during 1993 and 1994, the Company added approximately
1,100 of the restaurants included in its current customer base. In March 1995,
the Company entered the casual dining segment of the restaurant industry and
further expanded its quick service business with the acquisition of the National
Accounts Division ("NAD") of The Martin-Brower Company ("Martin-Brower"), which
added a total of approximately 8,000 restaurants within 12 chains included in
the Company's current customer base. The Company has also been successful in
expanding through internally generated sales. For example, since its formation,
the Company has added approximately 400 of the Burger King restaurants included
in its current customer base through the growth of existing franchisee customers
and the addition of new customers. The Company has also added approximately 570
Jenny Craig Weight Loss Centres and 150 Sonic restaurants through internal
growth. Since the Company's formation in 1992, net sales have grown from $1.3
billion in 1993 (the first full year of operations) to $4.0 billion in 1995 on a
pro forma basis.
 
     The Company is a "systems" distributor specializing in distribution to
chain restaurants. The Company believes the chain restaurant segment of the
foodservice distribution industry is particularly attractive due to (i) the high
growth rate of the restaurants in this segment, with compound annual growth of
7% over the past
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   6
 
three years according to industry sources, primarily due to the growth of
existing chain restaurants and the introduction of new chain restaurant
concepts, (ii) the uniformity of product offerings and consistency of demand by
chain restaurant customers, (iii) the increasingly important focus by chain
restaurants on foodservice distributors that can provide consistent quality and
reliable service on a nationwide basis to maintain the chain's uniform standards
and (iv) the fragmented nature of the foodservice distribution segment serving
chain restaurants, with over 3,000 companies operating in the industry. The
Company believes that the consolidation in this industry will continue as larger
foodservice distributors with nationwide service are better able to meet the
need for consistent quality and reliable service by chain restaurants.
 
STRATEGIES
 
     The Company believes that it has one of the most comprehensive distribution
networks of any independent distributor serving chain restaurants, based on
geographic coverage. With net sales of $4.0 billion in 1995 on a pro forma
basis, the Company believes, based on its estimates, that it has captured
approximately 10% of the $42 billion chain restaurant distribution market in the
United States. The Company estimates that the next largest independent systems
distributor has a market share of approximately 6%. The Company believes that
its size and scale give it an advantage over its competitors with respect to
purchasing power and lower distribution costs. The Company plans to strengthen
its position as a market leader by continuing to pursue the following strategies
for maximizing profitability and enhancing its long-term growth opportunities.
 
     Pursue Internal and External Growth Opportunities.  The Company intends to
continue to grow through a combination of adding new customers and products
within the chains that it currently serves, adding new chains and, where
appropriate, making selective acquisitions of other foodservice distributors.
 
     - Growth With Existing Chains.  The chain restaurant segment of the
       restaurant industry has historically grown faster than the overall
       industry. As the primary distributor to most of its customers, the
       Company expects to continue to grow with the chain restaurants it serves.
       In addition, the Company believes that there is the opportunity for
       increased "product penetration" by increasing the range of products,
       including produce, dairy and bakery products, distributed to existing
       customers.
 
     - Growth Through Addition of New Chains.  The Company is continually
       monitoring the marketplace for opportunities to expand the portfolio of
       chains that it serves. Primary targets include chains offering menu
       categories not covered by the Company's existing customers, chains
       operating in geographic areas in which the Company could benefit from
       increased customer density, and regional chains which could be added to
       the national chains which have traditionally been the Company's focus.
 
     - Selective Acquisitions.  The Company believes the fragmented nature of
       the industry and consolidation activity offer the Company opportunities
       to supplement internal growth through selective acquisitions. The Company
       intends to continue to focus its acquisition strategy on systems
       specialists that distribute principally to limited-menu quick service and
       casual dining chain restaurants which will expand its customer base or
       improve geographic customer density.
 
     Margin Improvement/Cost Reduction Programs.  The Company is undertaking
several initiatives to increase margins and reduce its overall cost structure.
 
     - Network Optimization.  The Company is initiating a major project to
       restructure its distribution network and create a new national
       distribution system. Through this process, which is expected to take 3-5
       years to complete, the Company intends to consolidate and integrate its
       existing distribution network of 34 centers into 23 centers consisting of
       six large regional distribution centers and 17 local distribution
       centers. The Company estimates the capital investment for this network
       optimization program will be approximately $35 million and, as a result
       primarily of reduced miles driven to make deliveries, is projecting cost
       savings following full implementation of the new system of approximately
       $20-25 million annually compared to projected network costs under its
       existing system.
 
     - Enhanced Delivery Systems.  The Company has recently introduced an
       innovative value-added cart delivery system which the Company estimates
       should result in restaurant deliveries which are 2-3 times faster than
       methods currently used in the industry. The Company is currently using
       cart delivery
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   7
 
       for approximately 17% of its customers and expects to service
       approximately 75% through this method within three years. The Company
       estimates the capital investment required for implementation of the cart
       delivery system will be approximately $8 million and, as a result
       primarily of reduced labor costs associated with deliveries, is
       projecting cost savings to the Company, when fully implemented, of
       approximately $10 million annually compared to projected costs of
       conventional delivery methods. The Company believes that cart delivery
       will also benefit its customers by reducing the disruption caused by
       deliveries and labor costs associated with unloading.
 
     - Corporate Unification Program.  The Company is in the process of
       integrating its preexisting operations with the NAD operations acquired
       from Martin-Brower into a new corporate support center located in Coral
       Gables, Florida. The corporate support center will allow the Company to
       centralize all purchasing, routing, in-bound transportation and
       operations support functions. This process, which is expected to be
       completed by mid-1997 at an estimated capital cost of approximately $3
       million, should reduce overall personnel levels by 75 positions and, as a
       result, is expected to yield aggregate cost savings of approximately $5-6
       million annually.
 
   
     There can be no assurance that any of the above programs will be completed
within the projected time periods or will not have costs or require investment
in excess of the amounts anticipated, or that the projected cost savings will be
realized. Anticipated capital investment requirements for, and projected cost
savings from, the margin improvement/cost reduction programs have been derived
from internal analyses prepared, in certain instances, with the assistance of
independent consultants. Cost savings estimates have been determined by assuming
current sales levels and cost structure and adjusting for savings attributable
to (i) projected reductions in miles driven, (ii) lower lease costs and labor
costs associated with reduced delivery time and (iii) reduced personnel levels.
Realization of such estimated net cost savings could be impacted by a number of
factors such as inflation and changes in volume or service levels. The Company
intends to finance these initiatives with cash provided from operations,
borrowings under its credit facility and through operating leases. Proceeds of
the offering will be used, in part, to repay $21.8 million of the $144.6 million
outstanding as of June 29, 1996 under the Company's credit facility. See "Risk
Factors -- Net Losses," "Risk Factors -- No Assurance of Achieving Anticipated
Cost Savings" and "Summary -- Future Non-recurring Charges to Earnings."
    
 
     Establish Position as Preeminent Supply Chain Manager.  The Company
believes that its size, scale and expertise in foodservice distribution and
transportation systems allow it to assist its customers in managing the entire
chain of supply, from the vendor location to the customer's storeroom. Emphasis
on supply chain management has allowed the Company to identify value-added
services (such as the purchasing of non-proprietary products and transportation
services from the vendor to the distribution center) which the Company can
provide to its customers, resulting in reduced costs for its customers and
improved margins for the Company.
 
     Technological Leadership.  The Company believes that it is a leader within
the industry in the application of information technology to its operations. The
Company currently has in place a variety of information technology systems,
including electronic ordering, inventory management, financial and routing
systems. The Company continues to invest in technology. It has budgeted
approximately $5 million per year for the next three to five years for new
systems and upgrades and intends to invest approximately $5 million to implement
radio frequency and bar code scanning technology in its new distribution center
management systems. The Company intends to finance these investments with cash
provided from operations, borrowings under its credit facility and through
operating leases. See "Business -- Strategies -- Technological Leadership,"
"Business -- Operations and Distribution -- Order Fulfillment" and "Risk
Factors -- Net Losses." Among a new generation of information technology being
installed are new systems in the area of electronic customer ordering, "order
optimization" to manage the Company's purchasing and inventory functions, and
freight management. In addition, in connection with its "network optimization"
program, the Company intends to put in place new customer ordering and warehouse
management systems.
 
     Service Quality Program.  The Company places a significant emphasis on
providing a high level of service to its customers. The Company continuously
measures its service performance levels by monitoring the
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   8
 
completeness of the order, the timeliness of delivery and the customer's
satisfaction. The Company believes it is a leader in the industry in quality and
reliability of service to its customers. By providing a high level of service
and reliability, the Company believes it can reduce the number of reorders and
redeliveries, reducing costs for both the Company and its customers and
improving customer loyalty.
 
                            ------------------------
 
     Although the Company's net sales have grown from $1.3 billion in 1993 (the
first full year of operations) to $4.0 billion in 1995 on a pro forma basis, it
has sustained consistent losses during this time due to high interest expense,
competitive price pressures and costs associated with the addition of new
customers and the development of new products and services. In addition, due to
certain restructuring charges, losses on impairment in value of long-lived
assets and non-recurring charges to earnings, the Company expects to record a
net loss for 1996. As a result, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $2.5
million and $20.5 million as of December 30, 1995 and June 29, 1996,
respectively.

FUTURE NON-RECURRING CHARGES TO EARNINGS
 
     The Company expects to incur certain non-recurring charges in the quarter
in which the offering is consummated. These charges are summarized as follows:
 
Expenses (pre-tax) associated with the amendment or termination of various
agreements:
 
     - A non-cash charge of $1.5 million, assuming an initial public offering
       price equal to the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of
       this Prospectus, to record the effect of an amendment to the 1995 Option
       Plan prior to the offering under which unvested options will vest
       according to a specified time schedule. Such charge will equal the
       aggregate difference between the initial public offering price of the
       Class A Common Stock and the exercise price for such options. Vested
       options will be unaffected. See "Executive Compensation and Other
       Matters -- Option Plans." This $1.5 million will be reflected as a charge
       to operations with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in
       capital.
 
     - A charge of $1.3 million for the termination of a consulting agreement
       between the Company and certain former owners of Valley Food Services,
       Inc., which agreement was due to expire on March 28, 1998.
 
     - Onex currently receives an annual fee for management services rendered to
       the Company. Onex has agreed to relinquish its right to receive such fee
       upon completion of the offering, in consideration for which Onex will
       receive $4.0 million payable in Class B Common Stock valued at the
       initial public offering price. See "Certain Transactions -- Onex
       Management Fees." This $4.0 million will be reflected as a charge to
       operations with a corresponding increase in Common Stock and additional
       paid-in capital.
 
Extraordinary charges:
 
     - A pre-tax charge of up to $10.0 million associated with prepayment
       penalties and the write-off of deferred financing costs to the extent
       that the Company replaces its revolving credit facility and term loans.
       See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
       Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     In addition to the other information set forth in this Prospectus, the
following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company
and its business before purchasing the shares of Class A Common Stock offered
hereby.
 
     Net Losses.  Although the Company was profitable in its first six months of
operation in 1992, the Company had net losses of $0.8 million, $2.4 million and
$0.8 million (before an extraordinary charge in 1995 of $0.8 million related to
the write-off of certain deferred debt issuance costs) in 1993, 1994 and 1995,
respectively, due to (i) high interest expense associated with financing
incurred in connection with the formation of the Company and the Company's
subsequent acquisitions, (ii) competitive price pressures resulting in lower
gross margins and (iii) costs associated with the addition of new customers
(both internally and through acquisitions) and the development of new products
and services. In addition, the Company incurred a net loss of $18.0 million in
the six months ended June 29, 1996 due to restructuring charges and losses on
impairment in value of long-lived assets and expects to reflect certain
non-recurring charges to earnings in the quarter in which the offering is
consummated. See "Selected Consolidated Financial Data -- Future Non-recurring
Charges to Earnings." As a result, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
$2.5 million and $20.5 million as of December 30, 1995 and June 29, 1996,
respectively, and expects to record a net loss for 1996. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." While
the Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to reduce
outstanding indebtedness, there can be no assurance that the Company will not
increase the outstanding indebtedness after the offering in connection with
future capital expenditures or acquisitions, or that price pressures and costs
associated with the addition of new customers and the development of new
products and services will not continue to have an adverse effect on the
Company's operating results. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the
Company will not sustain net losses in the future. See "-- No Assurance of
Achieving Anticipated Cost Savings" and "-- Competition." The Company expects to
make capital investments aggregating approximately $76 million over the next
five years in connection with several initiatives to increase margins and reduce
its overall cost structure, including the development of a new national
distribution network, the implementation of an innovative cart delivery system
and the integration of operations into a new corporate support center located in
Coral Gables, Florida, as well as new management information systems and
upgrades and implementation of radio frequency and bar code scanning technology
in its new distribution center management systems. See
"Business -- Strategies -- Margin Improvement/Cost Reduction Programs,"
"Business -- Strategies -- Technological Leadership" and "Business -- Operations
and Distribution -- Order Fulfillment." Such costs are expected to be
capitalized and depreciated or amortized over periods ranging from three to ten
years. The Company expects such increase in depreciation and amortization to be
fully offset in each year by cost savings and productivity improvements
resulting from such initiatives.
 
     Future Non-recurring Charges to Earnings.  The Company expects to incur
certain non-recurring charges in the quarter in which the offering is
consummated. These pre-tax charges include (i) a non-cash charge of $1.5
million, assuming an initial public offering price equal to the midpoint of the
range set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus, to record the effect of an
amendment to the 1995 Option Plan prior to the offering under which unvested
options will vest according to a specified time schedule, (ii) a charge of $1.3
million for the termination of a consulting agreement between the Company and
certain former owners of Valley Food Services, Inc., which agreement was due to
expire on March 28, 1998, representing all remaining payments under such
agreement, (iii) a non-cash charge of $4.0 million, resulting from the issuance
of Class B Common Stock to Onex in consideration for the termination of a
management services agreement, and (iv) a charge of up to $10.0 million
associated with prepayment penalties and the write-off of deferred financing
costs to the extent and at the time that the Company replaces its revolving
credit facility and term loans. Such pre-tax charges will result in an aggregate
after-tax charge of approximately $10.4 million. As a result of such charges and
certain restructuring charges and losses on impairment in value of long-lived
assets reflected in the six month period ended June 29, 1996, the Company
expects to record a net loss for 1996. See "Selected Consolidated Financial
Data -- Future Non-recurring Charges to Earnings" and "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

     Low Margin Business; Inflation.  The foodservice distribution industry in
general, and the chain restaurant segment of the industry in which the Company
operates in particular, are characterized by low profit margins and high asset
turnover. As a result, the Company's results of operations are sensitive to, and
may be materially adversely impacted by, among other things, competitive price
pressures, unexpected increases in fuel or other transportation related costs,
severe weather conditions, difficulties with the collectibility of accounts
receivable and inventory losses. There can be no assurance that one or more of
such factors will not adversely affect the Company's operating results. In
addition, a majority of the restaurants served by the Company purchase products
from the Company based on product cost plus a negotiated fixed dollar amount per
unit of measure. Accordingly, while increases in the cost of food and other
products do not reduce the Company's gross profit, such increases do result in a
lower gross profit percentage. Furthermore, inflation in operating expenses
without corresponding productivity increases could adversely affect the
Company's operating results. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
 
     Dependence on Certain Chains and Customers.  The Company derives
substantially all of its net sales from certain limited-menu quick service and
casual dining chains. The largest chains serviced by the Company are Burger
King, Red Lobster and Arby's, representing 38%, 15% and 10% of 1995 net sales,
respectively, on a pro forma basis. Adverse developments affecting such chains
or a decision by a corporate owner or franchisor to revoke its approval of the
Company as a distributor could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operating results.
 
     The Company's customers are generally individual franchisees or
corporate-owned restaurants within such restaurant chains. Although the
corporate owner or franchisor of a chain generally reserves the right to approve
the distributors for its franchisees, each customer makes its selection of a
foodservice distributor from an approved group of distributors. The Company's
largest customer is Darden Restaurants, Inc. (owner of all Olive Garden and Red
Lobster restaurants), representing 21% of the Company's 1995 net sales on a pro
forma basis. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's pro
forma net sales in 1995. Adverse events affecting any of the Company's largest
customers, a material decrease in sales to any of such customers or the loss of
a major customer through the acquisition thereof by a company with an internal
foodservice distribution business or otherwise could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's operating results. In addition, the Company's continued
growth is dependent in part on the continued growth and expansion of its
customers.
 
     In connection with the acquisition of BKDS in 1992, the Company entered
into an exclusive distributor agreement and related distribution agreements with
BKC, pursuant to which, through 2002, (i) the Company is designated as the
exclusive distributor to BKC's company-owned and operated Burger King
restaurants in the United States (which accounted for 3.9% of 1995 net sales on
a pro forma basis), (ii) the Company is one of ten companies approved as
regional distributors to franchised Burger King restaurants in the United
States, and (iii) the Company is the only company approved by BKC to service
Burger King restaurants on a national basis. The Company has also entered into
distribution agreements through 1998 with Olive Garden and Red Lobster pursuant
to which the Company is the primary distributor to the restaurants owned by
Olive Garden and Red Lobster operating in the United States. All Olive Garden
and Red Lobster restaurants are currently company-owned. Such contracts may be
terminated at the option of BKC, Olive Garden or Red Lobster, as the case may
be, upon a material breach by the Company and under certain other circumstances.
See "Business -- Customers."
 
     Ability to Integrate Acquisitions; No Assurance of Future
Acquisitions.  The Company has achieved a significant portion of its growth
since 1992 through acquisitions. Although each of the acquired companies has a
significant operating history, the Company has a limited history of owning and
operating these businesses on a consolidated basis. The Company was formed in
1992 to acquire BKDS. Through a series of acquisitions during 1993 and 1994, the
Company added approximately 1,100 of the restaurants included in its current
customer base. In March 1995, the Company entered the casual dining segment of
the restaurant industry and further expanded its quick service business with the
acquisition of NAD from Martin-Brower, its largest acquisition to date, adding
approximately 8,000 of the restaurants included in the Company's current
customer base. While the Company believes that the acquisition of NAD provides
significant opportunities to increase
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   15
 
margins and reduce costs through among other things, the realization of
economies of scale through corporate integration, there can be no assurance that
the Company's expectations for the performance of the combined companies will be
met or that management will be able to successfully implement such integration
on a timely, cost-efficient basis without disruption in the quality and
reliability of service to its customers or diversion of management resources.
The integration of such businesses will also require improvements in the
Company's management information systems which are currently in progress. There
can be no assurance, however, that such improvements will be realized on a
timely, cost-efficient basis.
 
     As part of the Company's growth strategy, the Company will continue to
review acquisition opportunities in the future. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company will be able to continue to acquire businesses on
satisfactory terms or that it will be able to integrate successfully any such
acquired businesses into existing operations.
 
     No Assurance of Achieving Anticipated Cost Savings.  The Company is
undertaking several initiatives to reduce its overall cost structure (the "Cost
Savings Initiatives"). These include (i) a "network optimization" process under
which it intends to consolidate and integrate its existing distribution network
of 34 centers into 23 centers, (ii) a cart delivery system intended to reduce
the time and labor associated with restaurant deliveries and (iii) integration
of its preexisting operations with the NAD operations acquired from Martin-
Brower into a corporate support center. Management estimates that the Cost
Savings Initiatives will result in significant net cost savings for the Company.
See "Business -- Strategies -- Margin Improvement/Cost Reduction Programs" for
an estimate of such savings. Cost savings estimates have been determined by
assuming current sales levels and cost structure and adjusting for savings
attributable to (i) projected reductions in miles driven, (ii) lower lease costs
and labor costs associated with reduced delivery time and (iii) reduced
personnel levels. Management believes that such assumptions are reasonable in
light of existing business conditions and prospects. However, any actual net
costs savings which might be realized by the Company could vary from the
estimates contained herein. Realization of such estimated net cost savings could
be impacted by a number of factors such as inflation and changes in volume or
service levels. There also can be no assurance that unforeseen costs and
expenses or other factors will not offset the projected net cost savings in
whole or in part or that such net cost savings will be achieved. See " -- Net
Losses" and " -- Future Non-recurring Charges to Earnings."
 
     Capacity Constraints; Ability to Implement Network Optimization
Program.  The Company's continued growth has created and will continue to create
the need for the expansion and improvement of its facilities. As the Company
nears maximum utilization of a given facility, operations may be constrained and
inefficiencies may be created which could adversely affect operating results
until such time as either such facility is expanded or volume is shifted to
another facility. Conversely as the Company implements its network optimization
program, excess capacity may also create certain inefficiencies and adversely
affect operating results. In addition, there can be no assurance that management
will be able to successfully implement its network optimization program on a
timely, cost-effective basis without disruption in the quality and reliability
of service to its customers or diversion of management resources. See
"Business -- Strategies -- Margin Improvement/Cost Reduction Programs -- Network
Optimization."
 
     Customers.  Approximately 25% of the Company's net sales are derived from
customers with which the Company does not have contracts. These customers are
thus not restricted by contract from ceasing to do business with the Company on
little or no notice. In addition, the Company's contracts with its other
customers are subject to termination by the customer prior to expiration of the
stated term under circumstances specified in each contract, including in some
cases failure to comply with performance reliability standards. The Company
believes that from time to time it may not have been in strict compliance with
all of the performance reliability standards in certain of its customer
contracts. Although the Company is not aware of any issues of non-compliance
which could reasonably be expected to result in termination of any such
contracts prior to expiration of the stated term, and has not been notified by
any customer that it intends to terminate its contract with the Company, there
can be no assurance that historic levels of business from any customer of the
Company will be maintained in the future. See "Business -- Customers."

     Competition.  The foodservice distribution industry is highly competitive.
The Company competes with other systems foodservice distribution companies
focused on chain restaurants and with broadline foodservice distributors which
distribute to a wide variety of customers. The Company believes that
distributors in the foodservice industry compete on the basis of price and the
quality and reliability of service. The Company believes that its size,
centralized purchasing operations and ability to offer broad market coverage
through a wide network of distribution centers give it a competitive advantage
over smaller regional and local distributors. However, in light of the
consolidation in the foodservice distribution industry, the Company could face
increased competition to the extent that there is an increase in the number of
foodservice distributors specializing in distribution to chain restaurants on a
nationwide basis. See "Business -- Competition."
 
     Reduction in Distribution Fees.  Distribution fees received from a number
of the Company's customers decreased significantly in 1993 and 1994 as a result
of competitive pricing pressures. While distribution fees have stabilized in
1995 and the first six months of 1996, and management expects such stabilization
to continue through 1996, there can be no assurance that competitive pricing
pressure will not recur in the future. See "Business -- Competition" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
 
     Dependence on Key Personnel.  The Company's success is substantially
dependent upon the continued services of its senior management, particularly
David R. Parker, Chairman of the Board, and Thomas C. Highland, President and
Chief Executive Officer, of the Company. The loss of the services of one or more
of such senior management could adversely affect the Company's operating
results. The Company has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Parker
and Highland and other members of senior management, and has obtained key-man
life insurance in the amount of $4.0 million on each of Messrs. Parker and
Highland. In addition, the Company's continued growth depends on the ability to
attract and retain skilled operating managers and employees and the ability of
its key personnel to manage the Company's growth and consolidate and integrate
its operations. See "Management."
 
     Control of the Company; Benefit of the Offering to Controlling
Stockholder.  Upon completion of the offering, Onex will beneficially own 87% of
the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. Each share of Class B Common
Stock entitles the holder thereof to ten votes as compared to one vote for the
holder of each share of Class A Common Stock. Consequently, Onex will control
82% of the combined voting power of the outstanding Common Stock after
completion of the offering and will be able to control the vote on all matters
submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock, including the election of
directors and approval of significant corporate transactions such as amendments
to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and mergers and sales of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets. Such consolidation of voting
power could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in
control of the Company that might be otherwise beneficial to stockholders. Onex
Corporation, based in Toronto, Canada, is a publicly listed (on The Toronto
Stock Exchange and The Montreal Exchange) diversified company that operates
through autonomous subsidiaries and strategic partnerships. Onex had
consolidated revenues of Cdn.$6.5 billion for 1995 and consolidated assets of
Cdn.$2.8 billion at June 30, 1996. In addition to its interests in ProSource, as
of September 30, 1996, Onex had investments in a broad range of companies,
including Onex Food Services, Inc. (which, through its subsidiaries, Sky Chefs,
Inc. and Caterair International Inc., is engaged in the airline catering
business), Dura Automotive Systems Inc., Tower Automotive, Inc., Phoenix
Pictures Inc., Vencap, Inc. and Imperial Parking Limited. None of Onex's current
businesses competes with or is a customer of the Company. Mr. Gerald W.
Schwartz, the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Onex and a
director of the Company, owns a controlling interest in Onex, and, therefore,
effectively controls the affairs of the Company. See "Business -- Controlling
Stockholder" and "Principal Stockholders." Approximately $15 million of the
proceeds of the offering will be used to retire subordinated indebtedness
payable to Onex. See "Use of Proceeds." In addition, Onex currently receives an
annual fee for management services rendered to the Company. Onex has agreed to
relinquish its right to receive such fee upon completion of the offering, in
consideration for which Onex will receive $4.0 million payable in Class B Common
Stock valued at the initial public offering price. See "Certain Transactions."
 
     Shares Available for Future Sale.  Sales of substantial amounts of Class A
Common Stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, after the offering
could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   17
 
Class A Common Stock. Of the 3,400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to be
outstanding upon completion of the offering, all of such shares will be freely
tradeable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), unless such shares are acquired by
an "affiliate" of the Company as that term is defined under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act ("Rule 144"). The shares of Class B Common Stock to be
outstanding upon completion of the offering are convertible into shares of Class
A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis at the option of the holder and in certain
other circumstances. Shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
Class B Common Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act and may
not be sold unless they are registered or unless an exemption from registration,
such as the exemption provided by Rule 144, is available. Certain holders of
Class B Common Stock have registration rights with respect to an aggregate of
1,080,500 shares of Class A Common Stock (assuming exercise of existing options)
issuable upon conversion thereof, and the holder of a warrant to purchase shares
of Class B Common Stock has registration rights with respect to the 283,425
shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Class B Common
Stock. Pursuant to certain "lock up" agreements described herein, all shares of
Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Class B Common Stock held by
the Company's existing stockholders will be eligible for sale beginning 180 days
from the date of this Prospectus, subject to certain limitations under Rule 144.
See "Shares Available for Future Sale."
 
     Absence of Public Market; Volatility of Market Price for Stock.  Prior to
the offering, there has been no public market for the Class A Common Stock, and
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Class A Common
Stock will develop or continue after the offering. The initial public offering
price of the Class A Common Stock will be determined by negotiations between the
Company and the Underwriters and may not be indicative of the market price of
the Class A Common Stock after the offering. See "Underwriters." From time to
time after the offering, there may be significant volatility in the market price
for the Class A Common Stock. Quarterly operating results of the Company or
other foodservice distributors, changes in general conditions in the economy,
the financial markets or the food distribution or foodservice industries,
announcements of proposed acquisitions and failure to complete announced
acquisitions, unusual weather conditions, failure to meet the projections of
securities analysts or other developments affecting the Company or its
competitors could cause the market price of the Class A Common Stock to
fluctuate substantially. In addition, in recent years the stock market has
experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a
significant effect on the market prices of securities issued by many companies
for reasons unrelated to their operating performance.
 
     Dilution; Dividend Policy.  Investors in the offering will experience
immediate and substantial dilution, and current stockholders will receive a
material increase in the net tangible book value of their shares. See
"Dilution." The Company does not anticipate paying dividends on the Class A
Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The Company's ability to pay cash
dividends is restricted by the terms of its credit agreement.

the results discussed in such forward-looking statements because of a number of
factors, including those identified in this "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere
in this Prospectus. See "Prospectus Summary," "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business." The
forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Prospectus, and the

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 3,400,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock offered hereby are estimated to be $46.4 million, assuming
an initial public offering price equal to the midpoint of the range set forth on
the cover page of this Prospectus, and after deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The
Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering as follows:
 
   
     - to prepay $15 million in outstanding principal and $0.4 million in
       accrued interest under a subordinated note payable to Onex which bears
       interest at 12% and matures on April 1, 2005, and to prepay, at a
       discount, $10 million in outstanding principal and $0.1 million in
       accrued interest under a subordinated note payable to Martin-Brower for a
       total payment of $9.2 million, which note bears interest at an effective
       rate of approximately 9% per annum over the life of such note and matures
       on March 31, 2002 (collectively, the "Subordinated Notes"); and
    
 
   
     - to repay $21.8 million of outstanding indebtedness under the Company's
       revolving credit facility, which bore interest as of June 29, 1996 at
       prime plus 0.5% or the Eurodollar rate plus 2.75% per annum, and matures
       on March 31, 2000. On a weighted average basis the interest rate was
       9.06% for 1995. As of June 29, 1996, there was $144.6 million outstanding
       under the revolving credit facility. See "Certain Transactions -- Onex
       Subordinated Notes," "Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
       Statements" and "Summary -- Strategies."
    
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
     The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock since
inception. The current policy of the Company's Board of Directors is to retain
all earnings to provide funds for the operation and expansion of the Company's
business. The Company does not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends on
the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Future cash dividends, if any, will
be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other
things, future earnings, capital requirements and surplus, the general financial
condition of the Company, restrictive covenants and agreements to which the
Company may be subject, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may
deem relevant. The terms of the Company's credit agreement prohibit it from
paying dividends to its stockholders without the approval of the lending group.
The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the holders of
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock share ratably in any dividend
declared by the Board of Directors, subject to the preferential rights of any
outstanding Preferred Stock. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources" and "Description of Capital Stock."

                                    DILUTION
 
   
     At June 29, 1996, the net tangible book value (deficit) of the Company was
$(10.4) million or $(1.97) per share of Common Stock. After giving effect to the
sale of 3,400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby by the Company
at an assumed initial public offering price equal to the midpoint of the range
set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and the application of the
estimated net proceeds therefrom as described in "Use of Proceeds," the pro
forma net tangible book value of the Company at June 29, 1996 would have been
$36.4 million or $4.18 per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro
forma net tangible book value of $6.15 per share to existing stockholders and an
immediate dilution of $10.82 per share to new investors purchasing Class A
Common Stock in the offering. The following table illustrates this per share
dilution:

(1) Net tangible book value (deficit) per share of Common Stock is determined by
    dividing the Company's tangible net value (tangible assets less liabilities)
    at June 29, 1996 by the number of shares of Common Stock that will be
    outstanding prior to the offering.
 
(2) Dilution is computed by subtracting pro forma net tangible book value per
    share of Common Stock after the offering from the assumed initial public
    offering price per share.
 
     The following table summarizes, on a pro forma basis at June 29, 1996, the

     The table assumes the issuance of 350,100 shares of Class B Common Stock to
be issued to Onex upon conversion of the Onex Convertible Note immediately prior
to the offering. Issuance of such shares will increase net tangible book value
by $0.23 per share. The table also assumes (i) no exercise of any outstanding
options or warrants to purchase Common Stock, (ii) no conversion of any other
outstanding indebtedness which is convertible into Common Stock and (iii) no
issuance of Class B Common Stock to Onex in consideration for the agreement of
Onex to relinquish its right to receive an annual fee for management services
rendered to the Company. See "Certain Transactions." Exercise of such options or
warrants, or conversion of such indebtedness would be anti-dilutive.

FUTURE NON-RECURRING CHARGES TO EARNINGS
 
     The Company expects to incur certain non-recurring charges in the quarter
in which the offering is consummated. These charges are summarized as follows:
 
Expenses (pre-tax) associated with the amendment or termination of various
agreements:
 
     - A non-cash charge of $1.5 million, assuming an initial public offering
       price equal to the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of
       this Prospectus, to record the effect of an amendment to the 1995 Option
       Plan prior to the offering under which unvested options will vest
       according to a specified time schedule. Such charge will equal the
       aggregate difference between the initial public offering price of the
       Class A Common Stock and the exercise price for such options. Vested
       options will be unaffected. See "Executive Compensation and Other
       Matters -- Option Plans." This $1.5 million will be reflected as a charge
       to operations with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in
       capital.
 
     - A charge of $1.3 million for the termination of a consulting agreement
       between the Company and certain former owners of Valley Food Services,
       Inc., which agreement was due to expire on March 28, 1998.
 
     - Onex currently receives an annual fee for management services rendered to
       the Company. Onex has agreed to relinquish its right to receive such fee
       upon completion of the offering, in consideration for which Onex will
       receive $4.0 million payable in Class B Common Stock valued at the
       initial public offering price. See "Certain Transactions -- Onex
       Management Fees." This $4.0 million will be reflected as a charge to
       operations with a corresponding increase in Common Stock and additional
       paid-in capital.
 
Extraordinary charges:
 
     - A pre-tax charge of up to $10.0 million associated with prepayment
       penalties and the write-off of deferred financing costs to the extent
       that the Company replaces its revolving credit facility and term loans.
       See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
       Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
GENERAL
 
     The Company began operations in July 1992 following the acquisition of
certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of BKDS, the "in-house"
distributor for BKC, which serviced 4,150 Burger King restaurants. In the four
years since the acquisition, ProSource has, through a combination of
acquisitions and internal growth, become a leading distributor to chain
restaurants, servicing approximately 14,450 restaurants within 18 different
restaurant chains. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, the Company's net sales
increased at a compound annual rate of 9.8% from 1992 to 1995, compared to the
foodservice distribution industry's compound annual growth rate of approximately
2.4% over this period. The Company's acquisitions consisted of:
 
     - The acquisition in February 1993 of certain operating assets of McCabe's
       Quality Foods, California, Inc. ("McCabe's"), a regional systems
       distributor based in California, for $3.9 million. Such acquisition
       solidified the Company's market position in Northern California and
       resulted in the addition of 127 of the Burger King restaurants included
       in the Company's current customer base.
 
     - The acquisition in March 1993 of certain assets and the assumption of
       certain liabilities of Valley Food Services, Inc. ("Valley"), a regional
       systems distributor based in Missouri, for $9.3 million. Such acquisition
       resulted in the addition of 318 of the restaurants included in the
       Company's current customer base, including certain Wendy's restaurants.
 
     - The acquisition in October 1994 of certain assets and the assumption of
       certain liabilities of Malone Products, Inc. ("Malone"), a regional
       systems distributor based in Oklahoma, for $3.8 million. Such acquisition
       resulted in the addition of 656 of the restaurants included in the
       Company's current customer base, including certain Sonic and KFC
       restaurants.
 
     - The acquisition in March 1995 of substantially all of the assets and the
       assumption of certain liabilities of NAD headquartered in Chicago,
       Illinois, a national systems distributor operating eleven distribution
       centers located throughout the United States and one center in Canada,
       for $170 million. Such acquisition resulted in the addition of
       approximately 8,000 of the restaurants included in the Company's current
       customer base, including Arby's, Chick-fil-A, Chili's, Long John
       Silver's, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, TCBY and TGIFriday's restaurants.
 
     Primarily as a result of these acquisitions, the Company's net sales
increased from $1.3 billion in 1993 to $3.5 billion in 1995. The NAD
acquisition, funded primarily by debt, resulted in a substantial increase in net
interest expense from approximately $6.6 million in 1994 to approximately $13.3
million in 1995; however, net interest expense as a percentage of net sales
decreased during this period from 0.41% to 0.39%. All of the Company's
acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and are included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.
 
     With the acquisition of NAD in March 1995, the Company initiated a program
of evaluating the profitability of its customer accounts which includes setting
target levels of profitability and developing procedures to attain these
targeted goals. Under this program, if the Company is not able to attain the
targeted level of profitability for a particular customer through price
increases, reduced operating costs or providing value-added services within a
reasonable period of time, the Company may discontinue its relationship with the
customer. The Company's decision to discontinue its relationship with such
customers has generally had a positive effect on operating results since the
Company has been able to reduce variable operating expenses and free capacity to
accommodate the growth of more profitable accounts. In addition, certain chains
decide from time to time to close restaurants or concepts which do not meet
their long-term profitability targets. The closing of restaurants by a customer
generally has a negative effect on short-term operating results until the lost
volume can be replaced with new sales. As a result of the Company's new customer
evaluation program and the decision of a certain customer to close a restaurant
concept, the Company no longer sells to 604 restaurants which accounted for
$74.0 million of net sales in 1995 on a pro forma basis.
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   24
 
     Although the Company was profitable for the first six months of operations
ended December 31, 1992, the Company had net losses of $0.8 million, $2.4
million and $0.8 million (before an extraordinary charge in 1995 of $0.8 million
related to the write-off of certain deferred debt issuance costs) in 1993, 1994
and 1995, respectively, due to (i) high interest expense associated with
financing incurred in connection with the formation of the Company and the
Company's subsequent acquisitions, (ii) competitive price pressures resulting in
lower gross margins and (iii) costs associated with the addition of new
customers (both internally and through acquisitions) and the development of new
products and services. In addition, the Company incurred a net loss of $18.0
million in the six months ended June 29, 1996 due to restructuring charges and
losses on impairment in value of long-lived assets, and expects to reflect
certain non-recurring charges to earnings in the quarter in which the offering
is consummated. See "Selected Consolidated Financial Data -- Future
Non-recurring Charges to Earnings." As a result, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of $2.5 million and $20.5 million as of December 30, 1995 and June 29,
1996, respectively, and expects to record a net loss for 1996. As the net
proceeds of the offering will be used to reduce the outstanding indebtedness of
the Company, management expects that interest expense will decrease following
the offering. See "Use of Proceeds." In addition, while distribution fees
received from a number of the Company's customers decreased significantly in
1993 and 1994 as a result of competitive pricing pressures, distribution fees
have stabilized in 1995 and the first six months of 1996. While management
expects such stabilization to continue through 1996, there can be no assurance
that competitive pricing pressure will not recur in the future. The Company is
also undertaking several initiatives to increase margins and reduce its overall
cost structure, including the development of a new national distribution
network, the implementation of an innovative cart delivery system and the
integration of operations into a new corporate support center located in Coral
Gables, Florida. For a description of certain projected cost savings and costs
to be incurred in connection with such programs, see
"Business -- Strategies -- Margin Improvement/Cost Reduction Programs" and "Risk
Factors -- No Assurance of Achieving Anticipated Cost Savings."
 
     As of June 29, 1996 the Company had recorded net deferred tax assets of
$23.7 million. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the net
deferred tax assets will be realized through the reversal of net deductible
temporary differences during periods in which the Company generates taxable
income. In order to fully realize the net deferred tax assets, the Company will
need to generate future taxable income of approximately $56.1 million. The
Company anticipates that increases in taxable income will result primarily from
(i) future projected revenue growth through the addition of new restaurant
chains and the expansion of existing restaurant chains, (ii) a reduction in
interest expense due to a reduction in indebtedness, (iii) cost savings through
its corporate and network consolidation plan and (iv) other cost reduction
initiatives. The offering, and the concurrent issuance of shares of Common Stock
to Onex as described in this Prospectus, will have no effect on the utilization
of the Company's net deferred tax assets because those actions will not result
in an "ownership change" under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code").
 
     As a result of a study to analyze, among other things, ways to integrate
the NAD operations, improve customer service, reduce operating costs and
increase existing warehouse capacity, the Company adopted a plan to consolidate
its corporate and network operations. As a result, in the first quarter of 1996,
the Company accrued restructuring charges and recorded a loss on impairment in
value of long-lived assets of $10.9 million and $15.7 million, respectively.
These are anticipated costs associated with the termination of leases on
existing facilities, losses on the sale of furniture, equipment, buildings and
leasehold improvements and write-off of certain capitalized software costs which
do not meet the long-term information technology strategy of the Company. In
1995 the Company incurred restructuring charges of $0.7 million primarily
related to the integration of the Company's preexisting operations with the NAD
operations acquired from Martin-Brower into a new corporate support center in
Coral Gables, Florida. As of June 29, 1996, the Company had approximately $10.5
million of accrued unpaid restructuring charges.
 
     The Company derives its revenues primarily from the distribution of a wide
variety of items to chain restaurants, including fresh and frozen meat and
poultry, seafood, frozen foods, canned and dry goods, fresh and pre-processed
produce, beverages, dairy products, paper goods and cleaning and other supplies.
The foodservice distribution industry in general, and the chain restaurant
segment of the industry in which the Company operates in particular, is
characterized by high asset turnover and low profit margins. As a "systems"
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   25
 
distributor specializing in distribution to chain restaurants, the Company
generally generates higher volume, lower gross margin sales requiring fewer but
larger deliveries than a broadline distributor which distributes to a wide
variety of customers, such as independent and chain restaurants, schools,
cafeterias and hospitals. In addition, systems distribution allows for more
efficient use of vehicles, facilities and personnel, resulting in lower
operating expenses as a percentage of net sales when compared to broadline
distribution. As a result, the Company believes systems distributors are better
able to service chain restaurants than broadline distributors because they can
offer their customers a higher quality of service at a lower cost. See
"Business -- Foodservice Distribution Industry."
 
     A majority of the restaurants served by the Company purchase products from
the Company based on product cost plus a negotiated fixed dollar amount per unit
of measure. As a result, the Company's gross margin percentage may be positively
or negatively impacted as the product cost per unit of measure decreases or
increases, respectively. The Company's product mix changed substantially in 1995
as a result of the NAD acquisition because casual dining chain restaurants,
particularly those which serve seafood, have a higher average product cost per
unit of measure, thereby reducing gross margin as a percentage of sales.
Similarly, periods of inflation in food and other product prices result in
higher sales values and product costs per unit of measure. While such increases
do not affect the Company's gross profit, they do result in a lower gross profit
percentage. However, inflation in operating expenses without corresponding
productivity improvements can have a negative effect on the Company's operating
results as operating expenses increase while gross profit remains constant.
Conversely, periods of deflation can have a positive effect on the Company's
results.
 
     The principal components of the Company's expenses include (i) cost of
sales, which represents the net amount paid to product vendors plus amounts paid
for in-bound freight, and (ii) operating expenses which include primarily labor
and equipment charges related to warehousing and delivery. Because warehousing
and delivery expenses can be relatively fixed in the short term, unexpected
changes in the Company's net sales, such as those resulting from adverse weather
or other events, can have a significant short-term impact on operating income.
See "-- Quarterly Results and Seasonality."
 
     The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31.
Consequently, the Company will periodically have a 53 week fiscal year. 1995 and
1993 each consisted of 52 weeks, while 1994 consisted of 53 weeks.

     Net sales in the three month period ended September 28, 1996 increased 4.5%
over the same period in 1995, primarily as a result of increased sales volume to
existing restaurants. Sales to restaurant chains served during both years
increased approximately 6.5%. Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of net
sales, was 7.7% for the three month period ended September 28, 1996 compared to
7.8% for the same period in 1995. The improvements in earnings from operations
in the third quarter of 1996 reflects the higher gross profit without a

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 1, 1995
 
     Net sales increased 39.1% to $2,014.1 million in the six month fiscal
period ended June 29, 1996 (the "1996 fiscal period") from $1,447.8 million in
the six month fiscal period ended July 1, 1995 (the "1995 fiscal period"). The
increase in net sales is primarily attributable to the acquisition of NAD on
March 31, 1995. Net sales increased 1.8% in the 1996 fiscal period when compared
to net sales for the 1995 fiscal period presented on a pro forma basis. Sales in
the 1996 fiscal period were adversely impacted by the elimination of certain
customers, as well as the adverse winter weather conditions experienced in a
number of the Company's markets during the first quarter. Net sales to existing
customers in the 1996 fiscal period increased by $86.6 million or 4.5% when
compared to the 1995 fiscal period presented on a pro forma basis. This increase
in net sales is primarily due to increased sales to such customers as a result
of the addition of new restaurants and increased sales volume at existing
restaurants. Such increase was partially offset by $9.4 million in declining
sales volume at certain chains as they redesigned their menus and product
offerings for broader consumer appeal.
 
     Gross profit increased 35.1% to $155.1 million in the 1996 fiscal period
compared to $114.9 million in the 1995 fiscal period. The gross profit
percentage decreased to 7.7% in the 1996 fiscal period compared to 7.9% in the
1995 fiscal period. The gross profit percentage decrease is primarily
attributable to the higher cost of the product mix purchased by customers added
through the acquisition of NAD (which customers had a 6.8% gross profit margin
for the 1996 fiscal period) and, to a lesser extent, negotiation of new
contracts with certain NAD customers which resulted in lower distribution fees.
In most cases, in consideration for the decrease in distribution fees, the
Company was able to secure a longer term contract and the right to provide
in-bound transportation and/or purchasing services for such customers. Gross
profit margin excluding the effect of the NAD acquisition increased to 8.7% in
the 1996 fiscal period compared to 8.6% in the 1995 fiscal period, primarily as
a result of improved inventory management which resulted in a reduction of
product cost.
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   27
 
     Operating expenses increased 35.3% to $149.8 million in the 1996 fiscal
period from $110.7 million in the 1995 fiscal period. As a percentage of net
sales, operating expenses declined to 7.4% in the 1996 fiscal period from 7.7%
in the 1995 fiscal period. This decrease is primarily a result of the
acquisition of NAD, which has a product mix with a higher unit sales value.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales, excluding the NAD acquisition,
were 8.4% in both fiscal periods. Operating expenses as a percentage of NAD
sales were 6.6% in the 1996 fiscal period compared to 6.4% in the 1995 fiscal
period, principally as a result of higher delivery costs due, in part, to the
start-up costs of the cart delivery program.
 
     Losses from operations in the 1996 fiscal period were $21.3 million, as a
result of restructuring charges of $10.9 million and a loss on impairment in
value of long-lived assets of $15.7 million. Both the restructuring charges and
impairment losses are related to a plan to consolidate and integrate the
Company's corporate and network operations following the NAD acquisition. Of the
restructuring charges, approximately $7.9 million relates to the termination of
existing facility leases, $1.2 million represents costs to be incurred after
cessation of operations in the closed facilities and $1.8 million represents all
other costs. The application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121, which became effective on January 1, 1996 and requires that long-lived
assets be reviewed for impairment (measured based on the fair value of the
assets), required the Company to recognize a loss of approximately $7.3 million
on land and owned buildings and $4.3 million on furniture and equipment and
leasehold improvements it intends to hold and use through the completion of the
plan and $4.1 million of capitalized software costs which do not meet the
long-term information technology strategy of the Company. Earnings from
operations excluding restructuring charges and impairment losses were $5.3
million in the 1996 fiscal period compared to $4.1 million in the 1995 fiscal
period.
 
     Net interest expense increased 16.6% to $7.3 million in the 1996 fiscal
period from $6.3 million in the 1995 fiscal period, primarily attributable to
the additional borrowings associated with the acquisition of NAD. Net interest
expense as a percentage of net sales decreased 16.2% from 0.43% to 0.36% as a
result of improved net operating asset turnover. See "-- Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
 
     The income tax benefit for the 1996 fiscal period increased $9.6 million
over the benefit for the 1995 fiscal period. The increase in the tax benefit was
attributable to the Company's greater pre-tax loss in the 1996 fiscal period.
The effective rates of the Company's income tax benefit (expressed as a
percentage of pre-tax loss) were 37.1% for the 1996 fiscal period and 44.1% for
the 1995 fiscal period, which reflect the anticipated annual effective rates for
the respective fiscal years.
 
     The extraordinary charge in the 1995 fiscal period represents the write-off
of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs of $1.3 million, net of the related
tax benefit of $0.5 million, associated with debt that was refinanced as a
result of the NAD acquisition. See "-- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
 
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
 
     Net sales increased 116.6% to $3,461.8 million in 1995 from $1,598.1
million in 1994. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of NAD on March 31, 1995 and the full year effect of the Malone
acquisition on October 31, 1994. Net sales excluding the effect of the NAD and
Malone acquisitions in 1995 increased by $95.8 million or 6.1% when compared to
1994 net sales. The increase in net sales is primarily due to increased sales to
existing accounts as a result of the addition of new restaurants and increased
sales volume at existing restaurants, offset, in part, by an additional week of
net sales in 1994.
 
     Gross profit increased 101.0% to $268.5 million in 1995 from $133.6 million
in 1994. The gross profit percentage decreased to 7.8% in 1995 compared to 8.4%
in 1994. The gross profit percentage decrease is primarily attributable to the
higher cost of the product mix purchased by customers added through the NAD
acquisition. Gross profit excluding the effect of the NAD and Malone
acquisitions increased to 8.7% of sales in 1995 compared to 8.4% in 1994. The
increase is primarily a result of the renegotiation of a contract with one of
the Company's largest customers and the growth of a new account added in
mid-1994, for which the Company records a distribution fee without any related
product cost.
 
     Operating expenses increased 94.8% to $255.2 million in 1995 from $131.0
million in 1994. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses declined to
7.4% in 1995 from 8.2% in 1994. This decrease is a
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   28
 
result of the acquisition of NAD which has a product mix with a higher unit
sales value. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales, excluding the NAD
acquisition, increased to 8.4% in 1995 from 8.2% in 1994, primarily attributable
to increased personnel due to growth of the business, the payment of management
incentives which vested due to achievement of business plan objectives, and
higher workers' compensation and vehicular insurance costs.
 
     Earnings from operations increased to $12.6 million in 1995 from $2.6
million in 1994. The 1995 earnings were reduced by $0.7 million in restructuring
charges related to the consolidation and integration of the corporate support
functions following the NAD acquisition.
 
     Net interest expense increased 102.2% to $13.3 million in 1995 from $6.6
million in 1994, primarily attributable to the additional borrowings associated
with the acquisition of NAD. However, net interest expense as a percentage of
net sales decreased 5.5% from 0.41% to 0.39% as a result of lower interest rates
and higher net operating asset turnover. See "-- Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
 
     The income tax provision in 1995 was $0.1 million compared to an income tax
benefit of $1.6 million in 1994. The 1995 provision resulted from a lower
pre-tax loss in 1995 which, because of permanent differences resulting from the
NAD acquisition, translated into a relatively small amount of taxable income.
 
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 25, 1993
 
     Net sales increased 20.2% to $1,598.1 million in 1994 from $1,329.3 million
in 1993. Net sales excluding the effect of the Valley and Malone acquisitions
increased by $229.3 million, or 18.1% of 1993 net sales, primarily from the
growth in sales to Burger King restaurants. 1994 also included an additional
week of sales.
 
     Gross profit increased 12.8% to $133.6 million in 1994 from $118.4 million
in 1993. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 8.4% in 1994
compared to 8.9% in 1993. The decrease is primarily a result of competitive
pricing pressures on distribution fees. See "-- General."
 
     Operating expenses increased 14.7% to $131.0 million in 1994 from $114.2
million in 1993. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses declined to
8.2% in 1994 from 8.6% in 1993. This decrease is attributable to the planned
staff reductions during 1994 and the impact of increased sales in 1994 without a
corresponding increase in fixed operating expenses.
 
     Earnings from operations decreased to $2.6 million in 1994 from $4.2
million in 1993, primarily as a result of the decrease in gross profit
percentage.
 
     Net interest expense increased 19.4% to $6.6 million in 1994 from $5.5
million in 1993, primarily as a result of higher interest rates.
 
     Income tax benefit for 1994 increased $1.1 million over the benefit for
1993. The increase in the tax benefit was attributable to the Company's greater
pre-tax loss in 1994. The Company's income tax benefit reflects an effective tax
rate of 40.9% for 1994, compared to an effective rate of 37.5% for 1993.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     The Company historically has financed its operations and growth primarily
with cash flow from operations, borrowings under its credit facilities,
operating leases and normal vendor trade credit terms. The Company's cash flow
from operations was $9.0 million, $0.9 million and $50.0 million, in 1993, 1994
and 1995, respectively. The significant cash flow in 1995 was attributable to
the one-time benefit of acquiring assets without assuming certain corresponding
operating liabilities in connection with the acquisition of NAD. During the 1996
fiscal period, cash used in operations was $3.0 million, primarily as a result
of lower earnings from operations in the first quarter and other seasonal
fluctuations.
 
     Cash used in investing activities was $8.0 million in the 1996 fiscal
period, all of which related to capital expenditures, primarily for cart
delivery equipment ($2.6 million) and computer systems upgrades ($3.8 million).
The Company anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $15 to $20 million
in each of the next three to five years in connection with the implementation of
its new distribution network, including the
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   29
 
expansion of warehousing facilities to accommodate expected growth, continued
investment in computer systems and the further deployment of cart deliveries.
The Company intends to finance such capital expenditures with cash provided from
operations, borrowings under its credit facility and through operating leases.
Cash used in investing activities was $175.6 million in 1995, primarily to fund
the NAD acquisition for $170.3 million and capital expenditures of $5.7 million
(primarily for cart delivery equipment and computer systems upgrades). In 1994
net cash provided by investing activities was $1.9 million. Proceeds from the
settlement of certain purchase price provisions relating to the BKDS acquisition
were $6.6 million, offset by $3.8 million used in the Malone acquisition and
$1.4 million for capital expenditures, primarily related to computer systems
upgrades. Cash used in investing activities was $16.1 million in 1993, of which
$13.2 million was for the Valley and McCabe's acquisitions and $2.4 million was
for capital expenditures related to computer systems upgrades.
 
     The Company's financing activities include borrowings under, and
refinancings of, various credit facilities and the issuance of equity securities
and subordinated notes principally to finance acquisitions. The Company's
financing activities resulted in net cash provided by financing activities of
$11.5 million in the 1996 fiscal period, $126.7 million in 1995 and $8.7 million
in 1993 and net cash used by financing activities of $3.2 million in 1994. In
March 1995, the Company entered into a $240 million loan agreement with
NationsBank of Georgia N.A. and certain other financial institutions. Such
agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $210 million and
term loans aggregating $30 million. Such facility and term loans were used to
finance the acquisition of NAD and refinance certain of the Company's
outstanding indebtedness. Availability under the revolving credit facility may
also be used to fund the Company's working capital requirements. As of June 29,
1996, there was an aggregate of $144.6 million outstanding under such loan
agreement. The loan agreement terminates on March 31, 2000 and the revolving
credit facility and term loans bear interest at prime plus 0.5% or the
Eurodollar borrowing rate plus 2.75%. The revolving credit facility and term
loans are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company's assets. In
addition, the loan agreement contains restrictions on, among other things, the
Company's ability to pay dividends, prepay subordinated indebtedness, dispose of
assets, make future capital expenditures and investments and make loans and
other financial accommodations to affiliates, as well as the flow of funds from
the Company's subsidiaries to the parent company.
 
   
     The net proceeds of the offering will be used as follows: (i) $15.4 million
to prepay principal and accrued interest under the $15 million Subordinated Note
held by Onex, (ii) $9.2 million to prepay at a discount the $10 million
Subordinated Note held by Martin-Brower and (iii) $21.8 million to repay a
portion of amounts outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility.
The reduction of outstanding indebtedness with the proceeds of the offering will
result in a reduction of interest expense. At June 29, 1996, the Company had
$173.4 million of total indebtedness, which had an overall weighted average
annual interest rate of 9.14%, excluding the amortization of deferred financing
costs. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. After
giving effect to the offering and the use of the estimated net proceeds thereof
as described in "Use of Proceeds," assuming an initial public offering price
equal to the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus, as of June 29, 1996, pro forma total indebtedness would have been
$123.3 million, with an overall weighted average annual interest rate of 8.9%.
After giving effect to the offering, as of June 29, 1996, the Company's pro
forma borrowing availability under its revolving credit facility would have been
$94.5 million.
    
 
     The Company is in preliminary discussions with several bank groups to
refinance its revolving credit facility and term loans with new bank financing
or an asset-backed securitization facility. Based on proposals received by the
Company, the Company believes that interest on the remaining outstanding amounts
could be reduced by 100-200 basis points by such refinancing. To the extent the
Company replaces its revolving credit facility, it expects to incur a pre-tax
extraordinary charge in the quarter in which the offering is consummated of up
to $10.0 million associated with prepayment penalties of approximately $4.0
million and write-off of the deferred financing costs. The Company believes a
new credit facility will also provide more flexibility in managing the Company's
working capital requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in refinancing its outstanding credit facility and term loans or
consummating an asset-backed securitization.

     The Company expects to incur certain other non-recurring (pre-tax) charges
to operations in the quarter in which the offering is consummated. These charges
are summarized as follows:
 
     -  A non-cash charge of $1.5 million, assuming an initial public offering
        price equal to the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of
        this Prospectus, to record the effect of an amendment to the 1995
        Option Plan prior to the offering under which unvested options will
        vest according to a specified time schedule. Such charge will equal the
        aggregate difference between the initial public offering price of the
        Class A Common Stock and the exercise price for such options. This $1.5
        million will be reflected as a charge to operations with a
        corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital.
        
     -  A payment of $1.3 million for the termination of a consulting agreement
        between the Company and certain former owners of Valley, which
        agreement was due to expire on March 28, 1998.
        
     -  The issuance to Onex of $4.0 million in Class B Common Stock valued at
        the initial public offering price in exchange for the agreement of Onex
        to relinquish its right to receive an annual fee, payable in cash, for
        management services rendered to the Company. This $4.0 million will be
        reflected as a charge to operations with a corresponding increase in
        Common Stock and additional paid-in capital.
        
     The Company believes that the combination of proceeds received from the
offering, cash flow generated from operations and borrowings available under its
current credit facility (or any refinancing thereof) are sufficient to satisfy
its anticipated working capital needs for at least 12 months. Management may
determine that it is necessary or desirable to obtain financing for growth
through additional bank borrowings or the issuance of new debt or equity
securities. The Company is a holding company with no independent operations or
assets other than an investment in its operating subsidiaries, and, as such, it
is dependent on its operating subsidiaries to obtain cash flow. The Company's
loan agreement includes certain restrictive covenants which limit the flow of
funds from the Company's subsidiaries to the parent company. Such covenants are
not expected to have a material effect on the ability of the parent to meet its
cash obligations.
 
ASSET MANAGEMENT
 
     Net operating asset turnover on average was 13.6 times, 16.5 times, 18.3
times and 18.3 times for 1993, 1994, 1995 and the 1996 fiscal period,
respectively. As a percentage of net sales, working capital on average was
3.30%, 2.99%, 2.95% and 3.13% for 1993, 1994, 1995, and the 1996 fiscal period,
respectively. Working capital turnover (net sales divided by working capital),
which measures the Company's effectiveness in managing its net current assets,
was on average 30.3 times, 33.4 times, 33.8 times and 31.9 times for 1993, 1994,
1995 and the 1996 fiscal period, respectively.
 
     The Company's inventory turnover averaged 40.4 times, 44.4 times, 24.8
times, and 27.2 times for 1993, 1994, 1995, and the 1996 fiscal period,
respectively. The decrease in 1995 and 1996 is attributable to the acquisition
of NAD, which has a lower inventory turnover due to the increased complexity and
greater number of stock keeping units maintained for casual dining restaurant
chains. The high rate of inventory turnover benefits the Company by allowing it
to finance a portion of its working capital requirements through payables to its
vendors. Average accounts payable days, which measures the number of days
accounts payable are outstanding, were 19.1 days, 23.3 days, 22.4 days, and 21.9
days, for 1993, 1994, 1995, and the 1996 fiscal period, respectively.
 
     Most of the Company's sales are made on open account terms. Credit terms
vary by customers and most allow discounts for early payment. The number of days
sales on average accounts receivable, which represents the Company's experience
in converting sales into cash, was 22.3 days, 26.1 days, 20.9 days, and 20.0
days for 1993, 1994, 1995, and the 1996 fiscal period, respectively. The
increase in days sales outstanding during 1994 resulted from inefficiencies
encountered in converting the Company's accounts receivable system.

QUARTERLY RESULTS AND SEASONALITY
 
     Set forth is summary information with respect to the Company's operations
for the most recent ten fiscal quarters. Historically, the restaurant and
foodservice business is seasonal with lower sales in the first calendar quarter.
In addition, the weather in the first quarter of 1996 was particularly severe,
adversely impacting sales. Furthermore, the Company may experience quarterly
fluctuations in net sales depending on the timing of any acquisitions.
Management believes the Company's quarterly results will continue to be impacted
by the seasonality of the restaurant business and the timing of any future
acquisitions.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
     All of the Company's acquisitions have been accounted for using the
purchase method and accordingly the acquired assets and liabilities have been
recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of tangible net assets acquired related to these
business combinations was approximately $41.3 million, including the effect of a
revision on March 31, 1996 of the estimates of certain costs related to the NAD
acquisition which increased goodwill by $7.6 million. The Company's intangible
assets, including goodwill, are being amortized on a straight-line basis ranging
from 3 to 40 years. The Company has determined that goodwill should be amortized
over 40 years, which reflects management's best estimate of the appropriate
period over which to amortize goodwill associated with those acquisitions and is
consistent with industry practice.

                                    BUSINESS
 
     ProSource is the nation's leading independent foodservice distributor
specializing in distribution to chain restaurants and is one of the largest
foodservice distributors in the United States. The Company distributes a wide
variety of items, including fresh and frozen meat and poultry, seafood, frozen
foods, canned and dry goods, fresh and pre-processed produce, beverages, dairy
products, paper goods and cleaning and other supplies. The Company specializes
in providing food and food-related products to two segments of the restaurant
industry -- limited-menu quick service restaurants, including Burger King,
Arby's, Long John Silver's, Sonic, Chick-fil-A, TCBY and Wendy's, and casual
dining restaurants, including Red Lobster, Olive Garden, TGIFriday's and
Chili's. ProSource is an indirect subsidiary of Onex Corporation. See
"-- Controlling Stockholder" and "Risk Factors -- Control of the Company;
Benefit of the Offering to Controlling Stockholder."
 
     The Company was formed in 1992 to acquire BKDS, the "in-house" distributor
for BKC, which serviced approximately 4,150 Burger King restaurants. In the four
years since the acquisition, ProSource has, through a combination of
acquisitions and internal growth, become a leading distributor to chain
restaurants, servicing approximately 14,450 restaurants within 18 different
restaurant chains. In February 1993, the Company acquired certain operating
assets of McCabe's, and in connection therewith added 127 of the Burger King
restaurants included in the Company's current customer base. In March 1993, the
Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Valley,
adding 318 of the restaurants included in the Company's current customer base,
including certain Wendy's restaurants. In October 1994, the Company acquired
certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Malone, adding 656 of the
restaurants included in the Company's current customer base, including certain
Sonic and KFC restaurants. In March 1995, the Company entered the casual dining
segment of the restaurant industry and further expanded its quick service
business with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the
assumption of certain liabilities of NAD from Martin-Brower, which added a total
of approximately 8,000 restaurants within 12 chains included in the Company's
current customer base. The Company has also been successful in expanding through
internally generated sales. For example, since its formation, the Company has
added approximately 400 of the Burger King restaurants included in its current
customer base through the growth of existing franchisee customers and the
addition of new customers. The Company has also added approximately 570 Jenny
Craig Weight Loss Centres and 150 Sonic restaurants through internal growth.
Since the Company's formation in 1992, net sales have grown from $1.3 billion in
1993 (the first full year of operations) to $4.0 billion in 1995 on a pro forma
basis.
 
     The Company was incorporated in 1992 as a Delaware corporation. Its
principal executive offices are located at 550 Biltmore Way, 10th Floor, Coral
Gables, Florida 33134, and the Company's telephone number is (305) 529-2500. The
Company operates under the name "ProSource Distribution Services."
 
FOODSERVICE DISTRIBUTION INDUSTRY
 
     The foodservice distribution business involves the purchasing, warehousing,
marketing and transportation of fresh and frozen meat and poultry, seafood,
frozen foods, canned and dry goods, fresh and pre-processed produce, beverages,
dairy products, paper goods and cleaning and other supplies from manufacturers
to a broad range of enterprises, including restaurants, cafeterias, nursing
homes, hospitals, other health care facilities and schools. The foodservice
distribution business generally does not include distribution to supermarkets
and other retail grocery stores. In 1995, the United States foodservice
distribution industry had an estimated $129 billion in net sales. Industry
sources indicate that the industry has grown at a rate of approximately 2.4%
over the past three years.
 
     Within the foodservice distribution industry, there are two primary types
of distributors: broadline distributors and specialist distributors. Broadline
foodservice distributors service a wide variety of customers including both
independent and chain restaurants, schools, cafeterias and hospitals. Broadline
distributors may purchase and inventory as many as 25,000 different food and
food-related items. Customers utilizing broadline foodservice distributors
typically purchase inventory from several distributors. Specialist foodservice
distributors may be segregated into three categories: (i) product specialists
which distribute only one or a limited number of products such as produce or
meat, (ii) market specialists which distribute to one type of restaurant such as
Mexican and (iii) "systems" specialists which focus on one type of customer such
as chain restaurants or health care facilities. Systems specialists typically
serve as a single source of supply for their customers.
 
                                       29
<PAGE>   33
 
     The Company is a systems distributor specializing in distribution to the
chain restaurant segment. With aggregate net sales in 1995 estimated by the
Company at approximately $42 billion, the chain restaurant segment represents a
significant portion of the foodservice distribution industry. The Company
believes the chain restaurant foodservice distribution segment is particularly
attractive due to (i) the high growth rate of chain restaurants, with compound
annual growth of 7% over the past three years according to industry sources,
primarily due to the growth of existing chain restaurants and the introduction
of new chain restaurant concepts, (ii) the uniformity of product offerings and
consistency of demand by chain restaurant customers, (iii) the increasingly
important focus by chain restaurants on foodservice distributors that can
provide consistent quality and reliable service on a nationwide basis to
maintain the chain's uniform standards and (iv) the fragmented nature of the
foodservice distribution segment serving chain restaurants, with over 3,000
companies operating in the industry. The Company believes that the consolidation
in this industry will continue as larger foodservice distributors with
nationwide service are better able to meet the need for consistent quality and
reliable service by chain restaurants.
 
     The Company believes systems distributors are better able to service chain
restaurants than broadline distributors because they can offer their customers a
higher quality of service at a lower cost. Given the uniformity of product
offerings and the consistency of demand of chain restaurants, a systems
distributor has the opportunity to reduce its overall costs and consequently
those of its customers through purchasing and holding in inventory fewer stock
keeping units ("SKUs") than a broadline distributor. This reduces both the
in-bound and outbound freight costs through higher volumes and larger drop sizes
and provides more efficient and reliable distribution schedules thereby reducing
labor costs of both the systems distributor and its customer. In addition,
systems distributors generally require a smaller sales force than broadline
distributors require. The Company believes that the uniformity of product
offerings and frequency of deliveries also result in higher volumes, allowing a
systems distributor to chain restaurants to significantly improve net asset
turnover as compared to a broadline distributor. In addition, management
believes that the larger systems distributors have the volume and scale to offer
chain restaurants an opportunity to further reduce their costs through
value-added services such as procurement of non-proprietary items and in-bound
transportation management as well as the capital to invest in systems and
business processes to continually improve supply chain management from the
vendor to the restaurant.
 
STRATEGIES
 
     The Company is the nation's leading independent foodservice distributor
specializing in distribution to chain restaurants, and believes that it has one
of the most comprehensive distribution networks of any independent distributor
serving chain restaurants, based on geographic coverage. With net sales of $4.0
billion in 1995 on a pro forma basis, the Company believes, based on its
estimates, that it has captured approximately 10% of the $42 billion chain
restaurant distribution market in the United States. The Company estimates that
the next largest independent systems distributor has a market share of
approximately 6%. The Company believes that its size and scale give it an
advantage over its competitors with respect to purchasing power and lower
distribution costs. The Company plans to strengthen its position as a market
leader by continuing to pursue the following strategies for maximizing
profitability and enhancing its long-term growth opportunities.
 
     Pursue Internal and External Growth Opportunities.  The Company intends to
continue to grow through a combination of adding new customers and products
within the chains that it currently serves, adding new chains and, where
appropriate, making selective acquisitions of other foodservice distributors.
 
     - Growth With Existing Chains.  The chain restaurant segment of the
       restaurant industry has historically grown faster than the overall
       industry. As the primary distributor to most of its customers, the
       Company expects to continue to grow with the chain restaurants it serves.
       Such growth can result from a variety of factors, including increased
       traffic in existing restaurants, the addition of new customers within the
       chain and the acquisition or development of new chains by the Company's
       existing customers. In addition, the Company believes that there is the
       opportunity for increased "product penetration" by increasing the range
       of products, including produce, dairy and bakery products, distributed to
       existing customers.
 
                                       30
<PAGE>   34
 
     - Growth Through Addition of New Chains.  The Company is continually
       monitoring the marketplace for opportunities to expand the portfolio of
       chains that it serves. Primary targets include chains offering menu
       categories not covered by the Company's existing customers, chains
       operating in geographic areas in which the Company could benefit from
       increased customer density, and regional chains which could be added to
       the national chains which have traditionally been the Company's focus. In
       seeking potential new customers, the Company attempts to concentrate on
       growing chains served by broadline distributors who might benefit from
       the industry focus that a systems distributor brings, as well as chains
       which the Company believes would benefit from the quality of service and
       attention to supply chain management that the Company provides to its
       customers.
 
     - Selective Acquisitions.  The Company believes the fragmented nature of
       the industry and consolidation activity offer the Company opportunities
       to supplement internal growth through selective acquisitions. In
       addition, the Company believes that the strength of its balance sheet
       following the offering will put it in a position to take advantage of
       such opportunities. The Company intends to continue to focus its
       acquisition strategy on systems specialists that distribute principally
       to limited-menu quick service and casual dining chain restaurants which
       will expand its customer base or improve geographic customer density.
 
     Margin Improvement/Cost Reduction Programs.  The Company is undertaking
several initiatives to increase margins and reduce its overall cost structure.
 
     - Network Optimization.  The Company is initiating a major project to
       restructure its distribution network and create a new national
       distribution system. Through this process, which is expected to take 3-5
       years to complete, the Company intends to consolidate and integrate its
       existing distribution network of 34 centers into 23 centers consisting of
       six large regional distribution centers and 17 local distribution
       centers. The new network should provide the Company with additional
       distribution center capacity for continued growth. The Company estimates
       the capital investment for this network optimization program will be
       approximately $35 million and, as a result primarily of reduced miles
       driven to make deliveries, is projecting cost savings following full
       implementation of the new system of approximately $20-25 million annually
       compared to projected network costs under its existing system. However,
       there can be no assurance that the proposed network will be completed
       within the time period projected, that costs to implement the network
       will not be higher than currently estimated or that projected costs
       savings will be realized. See "-- Operations and Distribution -- Product
       Replenishment," "Risk Factors -- No Assurance of Achieving Anticipated
       Cost Savings" and "Risk Factors -- Capacity Constraints; Ability to
       Implement Network Optimization Program."
 
     - Enhanced Delivery Systems.  The Company has recently introduced an
       innovative value-added cart delivery system which the Company estimates
       should result in restaurant deliveries which are 2-3 times faster than
       methods currently used in the industry. The Company is currently using
       cart delivery for approximately 17% of its customers and expects to
       service approximately 75% through this method within three years. The
       Company estimates the capital investment required for implementation of
       the cart delivery system will be approximately $8 million and, as a
       result primarily of reduced labor costs associated with deliveries, is
       projecting cost savings to the Company, when fully implemented, of
       approximately $10 million annually compared to projected costs of
       conventional delivery methods. The Company believes that cart delivery
       will also benefit its customers by reducing the disruption caused by
       deliveries and labor costs associated with unloading. However, there can
       be no assurance that costs to complete implementation will not be higher
       or that projected cost savings will be realized. See "-- Operations and
       Distribution -- Cart Delivery System" and "Risk Factors -- No Assurance
       of Achieving Anticipated Cost Savings."
 
     - Corporate Unification Program.  The Company is in the process of
       integrating its preexisting operations with the NAD operations acquired
       from Martin-Brower into a new corporate support center located in Coral
       Gables, Florida. The corporate support center will allow the Company to
       centralize all purchasing, routing, in-bound transportation and
       operations support functions. This process, which is expected to be
       completed by mid-1997 at an estimated capital cost of approximately $3
       million, should

       reduce overall personnel levels by 75 positions and, as a result, is
       expected to yield aggregate cost savings of approximately $5-6 million
       annually. However, there can be no assurance that costs to complete
       implementation will not be higher or that the projected reductions in
       personnel and cost savings will be realized. See "Risk Factors -- No
       Assurance of Achieving Anticipated Cost Savings."
 
   
     Anticipated capital investment requirements for, and projected cost saving
from, the margin improvement/cost reduction programs have been derived from
internal analyses prepared, in certain instances, with the assistance of
independent consultants. Cost savings estimates have been determined by assuming
current sales levels and cost structure and adjusting for (i) savings
attributable to projected reductions in miles driven, (ii) lower lease costs and
labor costs associated with reduced delivery time and (iii) reduced personnel
levels. Realization of such estimated net cost savings could be impacted by a
number of factors such as inflation and changes in volume or service levels. The
Company intends to finance these initiatives with cash provided from operations,
borrowings under its credit facility and through operating leases. Proceeds of
the offering will be used, in part, to repay $21.8 million of the $144.6 million
outstanding as of June 29, 1996 under the Company's credit facility. See "Risk
Factors -- Net Losses," "Risk Factors -- No Assurance of Achieving Anticipated
Cost Savings" and "Selected Financial Data -- Future Non-recurring Charges to
Earnings."
    
 
     Establish Position as Preeminent Supply Chain Manager.  The Company
believes that its size, scale and expertise in foodservice distribution and
transportation systems allow it to assist its customers in managing the entire
chain of supply, from the vendor location to the customer's storeroom. Emphasis
on supply chain management has allowed the Company to identify value-added
services to customers which result in reduced costs for its customers and
improved margins for the Company. Two examples of value-added services which the
Company is currently offering to customers are the purchasing of non-proprietary
products and the management and provision of in-bound transportation services
(i.e., transportation of products from the vendor to the distribution center).
 
     Technological Leadership.  The Company believes that it is a leader within
the industry in the application of information technology to its operations. The
Company has invested approximately $10 million in information systems since its
inception in 1992 through June 29, 1996, and has budgeted approximately $5
million per year for the next three to five years for new systems and upgrades.
The Company intends to finance these investments with cash provided from
operations, borrowings under its credit facility and through operating leases.
The Company currently has in place a variety of information technology systems,
including electronic ordering, inventory management, financial and routing
systems. The Company continues to invest in technology. Among a new generation
of information technology being installed are new systems in the area of
electronic customer ordering, "order optimization" to manage the Company's
purchasing and inventory functions, and freight management. In addition, in
connection with its "network optimization" program, the Company intends to put
in place new customer ordering and warehouse management systems. Management
believes that these systems will allow the Company to manage the complexity and
diversity of its business at a lower cost and with higher service levels. See
"-- Operations and Distribution -- Order Fulfillment."
 
     Service Quality Program.  The Company places a significant emphasis on
providing a high level of service to its customers. The Company continuously
measures its service performance levels by monitoring (i) its delivery of the
cases ordered by a customer, the "order fill rate", (ii) its successful delivery
of an order within one hour of the pre-arranged time, "on-time delivery", (iii)
its delivery of all the cases ordered by a customer, the "perfect order" and
(iv) its customers' perception of the quality of service ProSource provides, the
"customer satisfaction index". The Company believes it is a leader in the
industry in quality and reliability of service to its customers. By providing a
high level of service and reliability, the Company believes it can reduce the
number of reorders and redeliveries, reducing costs for both the Company and its
customers and improving customer loyalty. See "-- Operations and
Distribution -- Order Fulfillment."
 
CUSTOMERS
 
     The Company's customers as of June 29, 1996 consisted of 2,780 franchisees
and 17 corporate owners of approximately 14,450 limited-menu quick service and
casual dining chain restaurants representing 18 restaurant chains. The Company
is generally one of a limited number of suppliers to the chains it serves. The
largest chains served by the Company are Burger King, Red Lobster and Arby's,
representing 38%, 15% and
 
                                       32
<PAGE>   36
 
10% of 1995 net sales, respectively, on a pro forma basis. The Company's largest
customer is Darden Restaurants, Inc. (owner of all Olive Garden and Red Lobster
restaurants), representing 21% of the Company's 1995 net sales on a pro forma
basis. No other chain or single customer accounted for more than 10% of the
Company's pro forma net sales in 1995.
 
     The following table sets forth a list of the chains the Company served as
of December 30, 1995:

(1) The Company does not take title to the products it delivers to Jenny Craig
    Weight Loss Centres.
 
(2) During the six months ended June 29, 1996, the number of restaurants served
    by the Company decreased by 903, which was partially offset by the addition
    of 792 new restaurants. The number of restaurants served during this period
    decreased primarily as a result of the Company's discontinuation of less
    profitable accounts and customer restaurant closings.
 
     The Company has contracts with customers representing approximately 75% of
net sales, with terms ranging from 2-7 years and an average term of three years.
In connection with the acquisition of BKDS in 1992, the Company entered into an
exclusive distributor agreement and related distribution agreements with BKC,
pursuant to which, through 2002, (i) the Company is designated as the exclusive
distributor to BKC's company-owned and operated Burger King restaurants in the
United States (which accounted for 3.9% of 1995 net sales on a pro forma basis),
(ii) the Company is one of ten companies approved as regional distributors to
franchised Burger King restaurants in the United States, and (iii) the Company
is the only company approved by BKC to service Burger King restaurants on a
national basis. BKC has the right to terminate these contracts (i) upon a
material failure to perform by the Company and (ii) in the case of the exclusive
distributor agreement, upon the bankruptcy of the Company. In addition to the
521 BKC-owned restaurants, the Company also services 4,037 Burger King
restaurants owned by franchisees. In the aggregate, this represents 68% of all
Burger King restaurants in the United States. The Company has also entered into
distribution agreements with Olive Garden and Red Lobster pursuant to which the
Company is the primary distributor to the restaurants owned by Olive Garden and
Red Lobster operating in the United States. All Olive Garden and Red Lobster
restaurants are currently company-owned. Olive Garden and Red Lobster
 
                                       33

have the right to terminate their respective agreements upon (i) a material
change in ownership of the Company other than as a result of a public offering
by the Company, (ii) a material breach by the Company, (iii) the bankruptcy of
the Company and (iv) a failure of the Company to meet certain performance
reliability standards. Both agreements terminate in 1998. The Company believes
that from time to time it may not have been in strict compliance with all of the
performance reliability standards in such contracts. However, it is not aware of
any issues of non-compliance which could reasonably be expected to result in
early termination of such contracts.
 
     The Company considers its relationships with its customers to be good. The
Company holds regular meetings with its customers to discuss performance
reliability and other issues which have arisen from time to time. The Company
views the strength of its relationships with its customers, rather than its
contracts, as defining the commitment between them.
 
PURCHASING AND SUPPLY
 
     The Company purchases and distributes a wide variety of items, including
fresh and frozen meat and poultry, seafood, frozen foods, canned and dry goods,
fresh and pre-processed produce, beverages, dairy products, paper goods and
cleaning and other supplies. Due to the high volume of proprietary products
required by chain restaurants, the chain typically negotiates product sourcing
directly with vendors and then requires the distributor to use such vendors and
purchase at the negotiated price. Furthermore, customers within the same chain
often cooperate to utilize internal or third party purchasing organizations.
Because suppliers for proprietary products are generally designated by the
chain, the loss of any such supplier would likely result in the development of a
new source of supply by such chain. Substantially all types of non-proprietary
products distributed by the Company are available from a variety of suppliers,
some of which also supply the Company with proprietary products. Accordingly,
the Company does not believe that the loss of any supplier would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's operating results or its ability to serve its
customers.
 
     The Company's emphasis on supply chain management has allowed the Company
to identify the purchasing of non-proprietary products as a value-added service
which it can provide to customers. The Company has formed a purchasing
subsidiary which pools the needs of its customers for non-proprietary products,
such as unlabeled paper products, cleaning supplies and produce, and uses the
resulting purchasing power to negotiate lower prices with vendors. The Company
and its customers share in the cost savings, improving margins for the Company
and reducing costs for its customers. Of the $800 million in non-proprietary
products sold to its customers in 1995, $27.5 million were purchased by the
Company and resold to its customers on this basis, and the Company believes that
a total of approximately $400 million of such purchases were potentially
available for purchase and resale in this manner. The Company believes that
expansion of its purchasing services represents an important opportunity for
growth.
 
MARKETING AND CUSTOMER SERVICE
 
     The Company's senior management, together with a team of marketing, sales
and customer service personnel, are involved in maintaining relationships with
key customers and securing new accounts. The Company targets as potential new
customers restaurant chains offering menu categories not covered by the
Company's existing customers, chains operating in geographic areas in which the
Company could benefit from increased customer density, and regional chains which
could be added to the national chains which have traditionally been the
Company's focus. In seeking new customers, the Company attempts to concentrate
on growing chains served by broadline distributors which might benefit from the
industry focus that a systems distributor brings, as well as chains which the
Company believes would benefit from the quality of service and attention to
supply chain management that the Company provides to its customers.
 
     The Company's customer service activities are highly customized to the
unique needs of the customer. Each customer has a dedicated account manager who
is responsible for overseeing all of its service needs and coordinating the
services provided through an account team of customer service professionals,
including a dedicated "logistics services manager." The logistics services
manager is responsible for coordinating day-to-day product flow for the
customer, as well as working closely with the customer's purchasing and
marketing organization.
 
                                       34
<PAGE>   38
 
     The Company rigorously monitors customer service levels. In order to manage
problem resolution, the Company is implementing professional help desk software
which tracks customer calls in order to ensure that appropriate action and
follow-up occurs. The Company utilizes frequent trips to the customer's site for
regularly scheduled reviews and key project meetings and telephone conferencing
in order to ensure close coordination between the Company and the customer. In
addition, the Company monitors customer perceptions through periodic surveys.
See "-- Operations and Distribution -- Order Fulfillment."
 
OPERATIONS AND DISTRIBUTION
 
     The Company's operations can generally be categorized into two business
processes: (i) product replenishment and (ii) order fulfillment. Product
replenishment involves the management of logistics from the vendor location
through the delivery of products to the Company's distribution centers. Order
fulfillment involves all activities from customer order placement through
delivery to the restaurant location. Supporting the Company's business processes
are its innovative cart delivery system, its fleet of approximately 1,450
tractors and trailers and its management information systems.
 
     Product Replenishment.  While the Company is responsible for purchasing
products to be delivered to its customers, each chain typically selects the
vendor and negotiates the price at which most products will be purchased. See
"-- Purchasing and Supply." The Company determines the distribution centers
which will warehouse products for each customer and the quantities in which such
products will be purchased. Order quantities for each product are systematically
determined for each distribution center, taking into account both recent sales
history and projected customer demand. The number of distribution centers used
to serve a customer is based on the number and location of the restaurants to be
serviced. Given the Company's experience in managing its product flow, losses
due to shrinkage, damage and product obsolescence represent less than 0.1% of
1995 net sales. The Company is in the process of implementing a new order
optimization system which will utilize a demand forecasting program to (i)
establish order quantities and product availability levels and (ii) order
products as needed. The new system incorporates proprietary decision support
technology that optimizes the trade-off between in-bound transportation costs
and inventory carrying costs.
 
     The Company works with its chain customers in order to optimize
transportation from vendor locations to distribution warehouses. By utilizing
the collective demand of its customers for in-bound transportation, its existing
fleet of trucks and its expertise in managing transportation, the Company can
offer its customers in-bound transportation, in many instances on a more
economical basis than that offered by the vendors that have traditionally
provided such services. The Company believes it can offer its customers lower
in-bound transportation costs through (i) use of the Company's delivery fleet to
backhaul products, (ii) consolidation of products from more than one vendor or
for use by more than one customer to increase truckloads and (iii) brokering the
freight to third party carriers with whom the Company has negotiated lower
transportation rates. In 1995, the Company managed approximately 30% of the
total freight tonnage to its distribution centers. The Company utilizes a number
of third party carriers to provide in-bound transportation services. None of
these carriers are material to the Company's operations.
 
     The Company currently warehouses 5,500 types of products for its customers
at 34 facilities in 27 cities. This distribution network includes the Company's
preexisting distribution centers, as well as the distribution centers acquired
in the NAD transaction. Currently, no one distribution center maintains
inventories for all customers and, as a result, some customers are not serviced
by the distribution center closest to them. The Company has begun plans to
implement a new national network of distribution centers. Through this process,
which is expected to take 3-5 years to complete, the Company intends to
consolidate and integrate its existing distribution network of 34 centers into
23 centers consisting of six large regional distribution centers ("RDCs") and 17
local distribution centers ("LDCs"). Under the new network, high volume products
will be shipped directly to both RDCs and LDCs, with low volume products being
shipped only to RDCs which will supply these products to the LDCs. The Company
expects its new distribution network to reduce costs primarily in two ways.
First, by enabling the Company to fully service more customers from a
distribution center closer to the customer, transportation costs should be
reduced. Second, more efficient utilization of its facilities should reduce by
approximately 10% the amount of warehouse space required for the same level of
business. In addition, the new network should provide the Company with
additional distribution center
 
                                       35
<PAGE>   39
 
capacity for continued growth. See "Risk Factors -- Capacity Constraints;
Ability to Implement Network Optimization Program." The Company estimates the
capital investment for the proposed network will be approximately $35 million
and is projecting cost savings following full implementation of the new system
of approximately $20-25 million annually compared to projected network costs
under its existing system. However, there can be no assurance that the proposed
network will be completed within the time period projected, that costs to
implement the network will not be higher than currently estimated or that
projected costs savings will be realized. See "Risk Factors -- No Assurance of
Achieving Anticipated Cost Savings" and "Risk Factors -- Capacity Constraints;
Ability to Implement Network Optimization Program." The consolidation of all
customers into common distribution facilities in conjunction with the
development of the network should optimize in-bound transportation costs,
outbound miles, inventory investment and warehouse capacity.
 
     Upon receipt of the product at the distribution centers, it is inspected
and stored in racks. Each distribution center contains ambient, refrigerated and
frozen space as well as offices for operating, sales and customer service
personnel and a computer networked with the Company's centralized computer
system. In conjunction with the network optimization and integration strategy,
the Company intends to modify the racking configurations of its distribution
centers and install a new distribution center management system that controls
routing, shipping control, trip management, invoicing, inventory control and
communications.
 
     Order Fulfillment.  The Company places a significant emphasis on providing
a high service level in order fulfillment. For the six months ended June 29,
1996, the Company achieved order fill rates of 99.7% and on-time deliveries of
92%. By providing a high level of service and reliability, the Company believes
that it can reduce the number of reorders and redeliveries, reducing costs for
both the Company and its customers. Each restaurant places product orders based
on recent usage, estimated sales and existing restaurant inventories. The
Company has developed pre-established routes and pre-arranged delivery times
with each customer. Product orders are placed with the Company one to three
times a week either through the Company's customer service representative or
through electronic transmission using the Company's proprietary software.
Approximately 42% of the restaurants served by the Company transmit product
orders electronically. Orders are generally placed on a designated day in order
to coordinate with the Company's pre-established delivery schedules. Processing
and dispatch of each order is generally completed within 24 hours of receipt and
the Company's standards require each order to be delivered to the customer
within one hour of a pre-arranged delivery time.
 
     Products are picked and labeled at each distribution center. The products
are placed on either a pallet or one of the Company's delivery carts for loading
of outbound trailers. The Company utilizes radio frequency and bar code scanning
in two distribution centers, and intends to implement this technology in its new
distribution center management systems. The Company estimates that the capital
investment required for the implementation of this radio frequency and bar code
scanning technology will be approximately $5 million. The Company intends to
fund this investment with cash provided from operations, borrowings under its
credit facility and through operating leases. Delivery routes are scheduled to
both fully utilize the trailer's load capacity and minimize the number of miles
driven. The Company transports approximately 1.65 million tons of product and
its trucks travel in excess of 60 million miles annually. The Company currently
utilizes several unloading methods at the restaurant including (i) gravity aided
rollers, (ii) hand carts and ramps and (iii) its new cart delivery system.
 
     Cart Delivery System.  The Company has recently introduced an innovative
value-added cart delivery system which the Company estimates should result in
restaurant deliveries which are 2-3 times faster than methods currently used in
the industry. Under this system, at the distribution center, products are loaded
into carts which are then loaded directly onto delivery trucks. At the delivery
site, instead of unloading products by conveyor or handcart, the entire cart is
simply unloaded and rolled into the customer's storeroom. The cart delivery
system improves productivity of the Company's drivers, enhances utilization of
its tractors and trailers and improves employee safety. The Company is currently
using cart delivery for approximately 17% of its customers and expects to
service approximately 75% through this method within three years. The Company
estimates the capital investment required for implementation of the cart
delivery system will be approximately $8 million and is projecting cost savings
to the Company, when fully implemented, of approximately $10
 
                                       36
<PAGE>   40
 
million per year compared to projected costs of conventional delivery methods.
The Company believes that cart delivery will also benefit its customers by
reducing the disruption caused by deliveries and labor costs associated with
unloading. However, there can be no assurance that costs to complete
implementation will not be higher or that projected cost savings will be
realized. See "Risk Factors -- No Assurance of Achieving Anticipated Cost
Savings."
 
     The Company believes that the cart delivery system represents a major
innovation in foodservice distribution methods. The Company hopes to expand the
cart delivery system by leaving the carts at the customer's location until the
next delivery, allowing them to be used as shelving by the customer, and
developing new software which would manage the loading of the carts and
trailers, thereby maximizing cart utilization and ease of customer use. See
"-- Strategies -- Margin Improvement/Cost Reduction Programs -- Enhanced
Delivery Systems."
 
     Fleet.  The Company operates a fleet of approximately 1,450 vehicles,
including approximately 600 tractors and 850 trailers. The Company leases
approximately 450 of the tractors from Ryder System, Inc. pursuant to
full-service leases which include maintenance, licensing and fuel tax reporting.
The remaining tractors are leased under similar full-service leases from a
variety of truck leasing companies. The Company leases approximately 350
trailers from GE Capital Services. The remainder are either Company-owned or
leased from various companies, including Ryder Truck Rental, Inc., Pitney Bowes,
Inc. and Ruan. Lease terms average six years for tractors and 7-10 years for
trailers.
 
     Substantially all of the Company's vehicles contain on-board computers. The
computers assist in managing fleet operations and provide expense controls,
automated service level data collection and real-time driver feedback, thereby
enhancing the Company's service level to customers. Substantially all of the
Company's trailers contain three temperature-controlled compartments, which
allow the Company to simultaneously deliver frozen food, refrigerated food and
dry goods. In order to implement its cart delivery system, as trailer leases
expire, the Company has begun the process of substituting new trailers which are
configured so as to accommodate the carts. This generally involves dividing the
trailers into thirds longitudinally in order to allow for separate carts to go
in each of the separate temperature controlled sections. Approximately 17% of
the Company's existing trailers are configured for cart delivery, and the
Company expects that 75% of its fleet of trailers will ultimately be so
configured. See "-- Strategies -- Margin Improvement/Cost Reduction
Programs -- Enhanced Delivery Systems."
 
     Management Information Systems.  The Company has invested approximately $10
million in information systems since its inception in 1992 through June 29,
1996, and has budgeted approximately $5 million per year for the next three to
five years for new systems and upgrades. The Company intends to finance these
investments with cash provided from operations, borrowings under its credit
facility and through operating leases. The Company currently has in place a
variety of information technology systems, including electronic ordering,
inventory management, financial and routing systems. These systems represent a
combination of systems that were installed in 1993 following formation of the
Company and systems that were acquired in connection with the acquisition of
NAD. The Company is in the process of integrating these systems and installing
new system technologies in the areas of electronic customer ordering, "order
optimization" to manage the Company's purchasing and inventory functions, and
freight management. In addition, in connection with its "network optimization"
program, the Company intends to put in place new customer ordering and warehouse
management systems. Management believes that these systems will allow the
Company to manage the complexity and diversity of its business at a lower cost
and with higher service levels. See "-- Strategies -- Technological Leadership."
 
COMPETITION
 
     The foodservice distribution industry is highly competitive. The Company
competes with other systems foodservice distribution companies focused on chain
restaurants and with broadline foodservice distributors. The Company's principal
national competitors are Sysco Corp., Alliant Foodservice Inc. (formerly Kraft
Distribution), MBM Corp., NEBCO-Ameriserv, Marriott Distribution Services Inc.,
King Provision Corp. and Pepsi Foodservices, an in-house distributor for
PepsiCo, Inc. The Company also competes with regional distributors, principally
for business from franchisee-owned Burger King restaurants. The Company believes
 
                                       37
<PAGE>   41
 
that distributors in the foodservice industry compete on the basis of price and
the quality and reliability of service. Because a number of the Company's
customers prefer a distributor that is able to service their restaurants on a
nationwide basis, the Company believes that it is in a strong position to
compete for national chain accounts. The Company attributes its ability to
compete effectively against smaller regional and local distributors in part to
the cost advantages resulting from its size, centralized purchasing operations
and ability to offer broad market coverage through a wide network of
distribution centers. However, in light of the consolidation in the foodservice
distribution industry, the Company could face increased competition to the
extent that there is an increase in the number of foodservice distributors
specializing in distribution to chain restaurants on a nationwide basis.
 
     In addition, distribution fees received from a number of the Company's
customers decreased significantly in 1993 and 1994 as a result of competitive
pricing pressures. While distribution fees have stabilized in 1995 and the first
six months of 1996, and management expects such stabilization to continue
through 1996, there can be no assurance that competitive pricing pressure will
not recur in the future. See "Risk Factors -- Competition."
 
PROPERTIES
 
     The Company's principal executive office is located in Coral Gables,
Florida, with additional administrative facilities located in Chicago, Cleveland
and Coral Gables. The Company is currently in the process of consolidating these
operations into a new principal executive office and corporate support center
located in Coral Gables. This facility, consisting of approximately 83,000
square feet of leased space, is expected to begin operation during October 1996.

REGULATORY MATTERS
 
     The Company is subject to a number of federal, state and local laws,

aware of any violations of, or pending changes in, such laws, regulations and
codes that are likely to result in material penalties or material increases in
compliance costs. The Company, however, is not able to predict the impact of any
changes in the requirements or mode of enforcement of these laws, regulations
and codes on its operating results.
 
     The Company owns and leases distribution centers, at some of which on-site
vehicle fueling activities may have resulted in releases of diesel or other
petroleum products to the soil or groundwater. The Company may be subject to
liability for clean-up of contaminated soil or groundwater at these distribution
centers and is in the process of investigating or remediating the contamination.

estimated costs associated with any required investigation or remediation will
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity. The Company has engaged in a program to remove
underground fuel storage tanks located on its properties. As a result, with the
exception of two such tanks, which are scheduled to be removed during 1996, all
underground fuel storage tanks have been removed from the Company's properties.
In addition, several of the Company's facilities are located over areas of

soil or groundwater. The Company has not been named a responsible party at, and
does not anticipate any liability associated with, any of these sites.
 
LITIGATION

EMPLOYMENT AND CONSULTING AGREEMENTS
 
     The Company has entered into employment agreements (each an "Employment
Agreement") with each of Messrs. David R. Parker, Thomas C. Highland, Daniel J.
Adzia, Paul A. Garcia de Quevedo, Dennis Andruskiewicz and John E. Foley (each
an "Employee"). Each Employment Agreement provides that the Employee will
receive an annual salary (subject to increase at the discretion of the Board of
Directors), a cash bonus calculated in accordance with the Company's management
bonus or incentive compensation plan in effect from time to time and certain
benefits. The term of each Employment Agreement is three years (one year in the
case of Mr. Andruskiewicz), with automatic one year extensions unless terminated
earlier by the Company or the Employee upon prior written notice. In the event
that the Company terminates the
 
                                       45
<PAGE>   49
 
Employee's employment for disability or without cause, the Employee is entitled
to receive his salary, a pro rata portion of the actual incentive payment that
he would have received under the management incentive plan for the year in which
termination occurs and all other benefits in effect for senior management
employees at the time of termination ("Termination Benefits") for a period of
one year from the date of termination, except in the cases of Messrs. Highland
and Adzia. In the event that the Company terminates Mr. Highland's employment
for disability or without cause, he is entitled to receive payment in an amount
equal to 150% of the sum of the Termination Benefits for a period of eighteen
months from the date of termination. In the event that the Company terminates
Mr. Adzia's employment for disability or without cause, he is entitled to
receive 100% of the Termination Benefits for a period ending on the later of
April 1, 1998 and eighteen months from the date of termination. If the Company
terminates the Employee's employment, including Messrs. Highland or Adzia, for
any other reason, the Employee is entitled to receive the Termination Benefits
through the date of termination. Each Employee is also subject to a one-year
covenant not to compete effective upon termination of employment for any reason,
except in the cases of Messrs. Highland (eighteen months) and Adzia (terminating
on the later of April 1, 1998 and eighteen months from the date of termination).
 
   
     The initial terms of the Employment Agreements with Messrs. Parker and
Highland commenced on July 1, 1992. Such agreements currently expire on July 1,
1997, subject to automatic one-year renewals unless either the Company or the
Employee gives notice of termination by January 1 prior to the date of
expiration. Pursuant to their Employment Agreements, Messrs. Parker and Highland
are each to receive base salary at the rate of $425,000 for the remainder of
1996, and $450,000 for 1997, with increases in subsequent years at the
discretion of the Board of Directors. In addition, each is entitled to receive
an annual cash bonus calculated in accordance with the Company's management
bonus or incentive compensation plan in effect from time to time and certain
benefits, including an automobile allowance of $1,500 per month. Pursuant to
agreements with Onex, Messrs. Parker and Highland received consulting fees from
Onex in the following amounts: (i) $150,000 in 1995 (including amounts actually
paid in 1996) and $100,000 in each of 1994 and 1993 in the case of Mr. Parker,
and (ii) $100,000 in each of 1995 and 1994 in the case of Mr. Highland. Such
consulting arrangements will be terminated effective upon completion of the
offering, and, in consideration therefor, the base salary payable to Messrs.
Parker and Highland will be increased to the rates specified above. See "Summary
Compensation Table."

     The aggregate amount of such loans guaranteed by the Company as of June 29,
1996 was $3.3 million. The shares of Common Stock purchased were pledged to the
Company as collateral for the Company's guaranty. All of such shares are subject
to the Shareholders Agreements (as defined herein). Pursuant to the Shareholders
Agreements, if a shareholder defaults on such indebtedness, the Company has the
option to purchase such shares at a purchase price equal to 85% of fair market
value at the time of purchase, reduced by the amount of the outstanding
indebtedness secured by the shares. See "Certain Transactions."
    
 
OPTION PLANS
 
     Amended Management Option Plan (1995).  The 1995 Option Plan provides for
the grant of "non-qualified stock options" ("NQSO's") to management employees of
the Company ("1995 Employee Participants") at the time that such employees
purchase Common Stock of the Company. Options granted under the 1995 Option Plan
have an exercise price equal to the price at which the 1995 Employee Participant
purchased such stock. Options are exercisable for shares of Class B Common
Stock. The 1995 Option Plan provides for it to be administered by the Board of
Directors of the Company or a committee thereof. Prior to the offering it was
administered by the Board of Directors, and following the offering it will be
administered by the Equity Compensation Committee. Options granted under the
1995 Option Plan are not transferrable or assignable.
 
     Options vest according to the following schedule: ten percent at the end of
years 1995 through 1999, with the remaining 50% vesting at the end of such
five-year period. Options granted under the 1995 Option Plan remain exercisable
until December 31, 2000. In the event the Company sells substantially all of its
assets or all of the Company's or any of its principal subsidiaries' shares of
Common Stock in a transaction in which the consideration is principally other
than common stock and results in Onex earning certain specified rates of return
on its initial purchase of Common Stock, then all unexercised options under the
1995 Option Plan with respect to periods not yet ended are deemed earned and
exercised immediately prior to the date the triggering transaction closes.
 
     The 1995 Option Plan terminates on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2000 and
(ii) the sale of all of the Common Stock owned by Onex, the sale of all of the
issued and outstanding stock of the Company or the sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of a subsidiary of the Company.
 
     Upon completion of the offering, options to purchase 350,200 shares of
Class B Common Stock will be outstanding. No additional options will be granted
under the 1995 Option Plan.
 
     1996 Stock Option Plan.  Prior to the completion of the offering, the Board
of Directors and stockholders of the Company will approve the 1996 Stock Option
Plan (the "1996 Plan"). The Company has reserved 550,000 shares of Class B
Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of options granted under the 1996 Plan.
 
                                       47
<PAGE>   51
 
   
The Company intends to grant options to purchase approximately 355,000 shares of
Class B Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the initial public offering
price immediately prior to the completion of the offering.
    
 
     Pursuant to the 1996 Plan, executive officers and key employees of the
Company are eligible to receive awards of stock options. The 1996 Plan provides
for the award of NQSO's only. The 1996 Plan will be administered by the Equity
Compensation Committee (the "Committee"). Subject to the provisions of the 1996
Plan, the Committee will determine when and to whom awards will be granted, and
the number of shares covered by each award. The Committee may interpret the 1996
Plan and may at any time adopt such rules and regulations for the 1996 Plan as
it deems advisable. In addition, the Committee may cancel or suspend awards.
Options granted under the 1996 Plan are not transferable or assignable, other
than upon death.
 
     The exercise price for options granted under the 1996 Plan will be at least
100% of the fair market value of a share of Class B Common Stock on the date of
grant. Options will vest ratably on each of the first four anniversaries of the
date of grant. However, notwithstanding such vesting, no option will become
exercisable until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Market Value of the
Class B Common Stock is at least 25% greater than the exercise price of such
option and (ii) the eighth anniversary of the date of grant. "Market Value" of
the Class B Common Stock is determined by taking the average closing price of
the Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market or the principal
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed for any five consecutive
trading days. Subject to the foregoing, vested options may be exercised for a
period of up to 10 years from the date of grant.
 
     The Committee may provide for the payment of the option price in cash, by
delivery of other Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the exercise
price, by a combination thereof or by such other manner as the Committee shall
determine, including a cashless exercise procedure.
 
     The Board of Directors may at any time and from time to time suspend,
amend, modify or terminate the 1996 Plan; provided, however, that, to the extent
required by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") or any other law, regulation or stock exchange
rule, no such change shall be effective without the requisite approval of the
Company's stockholders. In addition, no such change may adversely affect any
award previously granted, except with the written consent of the grantee.
 
     No options may be granted under the 1996 Plan after the tenth anniversary
of the approval of the 1996 Plan.
 
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS
 
     401(k) Plan.  The Company maintains the Associates' Savings Plan (the
"401(k) Plan"), a defined contribution retirement plan with a cash or deferral
arrangement as described in Section 401(k) of the Code. The 401(k) Plan is
intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code. All employees who are
at least 21 years old, work at least 1,000 hours a year and are not excluded by
a bargaining agreement or certain other exclusions are eligible to participate
in the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan provides that each participant may make
elective contributions from 1% to 15% of his or her compensation, subject to
statutory limits. The Company contributes to the 401(k) Plan fifty cents for
every dollar contributed up to the first 4% of an eligible employee's
compensation. All contributions made by participants are fully vested and are
not subject to forfeiture. A participant vests in any contributions made by the
Company at a rate of 20% for each year of service. Each participant's entire
401(k) account is distributed to the participant or his or her beneficiary,
without regard to vesting, upon retirement, death, disability, or termination of
employment with the Company after the completion of five years of service. The
trustee under the 401(k) Plan, at the direction of each participant, invests the
assets of the 401(k) Plan in a number of investment options.
 
     Money Purchase Plan.  The Company maintains the Money Purchase Plan for
Former NAD Salaried Employees (the "Money Purchase Plan"), a defined
contribution retirement plan with a cash or deferral arrangement, as described
in Section 401(a) of the Code. All salaried employees of the Company who were
former salaried employees of Martin-Brower immediately preceding the acquisition
of NAD by the Company and either participated in a defined contribution plan or
have completed two years of service with the
 
                                       48
<PAGE>   52
 
Company are eligible to participate in the Money Purchase Plan. As of December
30, 1995, 324 employees participated in the Money Purchase Plan. All
contributions are made by the Company. The Company contributes an amount equal
to 10% of each eligible employee's compensation, subject to statutory limits.
All contributions made by the Company are fully vested with the participant and
are not subject to forfeiture. Each participant's account is distributed to such
participant or the participant's named beneficiary (or surviving spouse in the
case of the death of a participant) upon the termination of service with the
Company, retirement, disability or death of the participant, generally in the
form of an annuity purchased from the proceeds of the participant's account. A
committee appointed by the Company's Board of Directors, at the direction of
each participant, invests the assets of the Money Purchase Plan in a number of
investment options.
 
PENSION PLANS
 
     ProSource Distribution Services Salaried Defined Benefit Plan (the
"Salaried Pension Plan"), ProSource Distribution Services Hourly Defined Benefit
Plan (the "Hourly Pension Plan") and ProSource Distribution Services Pension
Plan for Former NAD Hourly Employees (the "NAD Pension Plan"; and together with
the Salaried Pension Plan and Hourly Pension Plan, each a "Pension Plan") are
tax-qualified benefit pension plans. The Salaried Pension Plan and Hourly
Pension Plan cover all of the Company's salaried and hourly employees,
respectively, who have been employed with the Company for at least one year,
subject to certain exceptions. The NAD Pension Plan covers (i) former NAD
employees who participated in the Martin-Brower pension plan and were employed
by the Company by September 30, 1995 and (ii) every other former NAD employee
who completes one year of service for the Company and is compensated on an
hourly or mileage basis. Each Pension Plan is funded through a tax-exempt trust
into which contributions are made as necessary based on actuarial funding
analysis. The Company's funding policy is to contribute an amount not less than
the minimum funding requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended or supplemented, nor more than the maximum deductible
amount for income tax purposes.
 
     Each Pension Plan provides for the payment of benefits upon retirement,
early retirement, death, disability and termination of employment. All benefits
become fully vested after five years of service. Benefits under the Salaried
Pension Plan and NAD Pension Plan are determined under a formula based on a
participant's compensation and credited service. Benefits under the Hourly
Pension Plan are determined under a formula based solely on a participant's
credited service. Participants may elect from several optional forms of benefit
distribution.

Plan defines "compensation" as cash remuneration to an employee for services
rendered, constituting an employee's salary, bonus, commissions and
contributions to any Company cafeteria plan or cash or deferred arrangement made
by the employee through pre-tax deductions, and credits compensation only up to
the limit of covered compensation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code. The
covered compensation, as determined under the Salaried Benefit Plan, is, in the
aggregate, not substantially different than the amount reflected in the Annual
Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table set forth above. The
estimates of annual retirement benefits reflected in the above table are based
on payment in the form of a straight-life annuity and are not subject to any
deduction for Social Security or other offset amounts.
 
     Monthly normal retirement benefits under the Hourly Pension Plan are
determined by taking the product of the participant's years of credited service
(up to a maximum of 30 years) and $20. Monthly normal retirement benefits under
the NAD Pension Plan are equal to 1 3/4% of the participant's covered
compensation for each one-year period of credited service divided by 12.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENTS
 
     Management Shareholders Agreement.  The following is a summary of certain
provisions of the Amended and Restated Management Shareholders Agreement, dated
as of May 31, 1995, among the Company, Onex and certain officers and employees
("Management Shareholders") of the Company (the "Management Shareholders
Agreement"). The following executive officers of the Company are party to the
Management Shareholders Agreement: David R. Parker, Thomas C. Highland, Daniel
J. Adzia, William F. Evans, Paul A. Garcia de Quevedo, Dennis T. Andruskiewicz,
Robert S. Donaldson, John E. Foley and John P. Gainor.
 
     The Management Shareholders Agreement governs, among other things, the
manner and means by which Common Stock, or securities convertible into shares of
Common Stock, held by the Management Shareholders at any time may be
transferred. Pursuant to such Agreement, the transfer of shares of the Company's
Common Stock, including shares received upon the conversion of options, by
Management Shareholders is prohibited except (i) to immediate family members (or
to trusts for the exclusive benefit of the transferor or his immediate family
members), (ii) to other Management Shareholders or management employees of the
Company in cases of hardship or other unusual circumstances (with the approval
of the Company's Board of Directors), subject to a right of first refusal in
favor of the Company, or (iii) through the public markets, provided that such
sales do not occur within 180 days of any public offering of Common Stock, that
such sales during any 90-day period do not exceed the greater of (a) 500 shares
of Common Stock and (b) 5% of the sum of the Management Shareholder's shares
then held by him and the Management Shareholder's shares previously sold by him
and that such sales do not exceed 50% of his shares in the aggregate, including
shares previously sold, without the prior approval of the Board of Directors,
subject to a right of first refusal in favor of the Company. If the Management
Shareholder's employment terminates for any reason, pursuant to the Company's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, shares of Class B Common Stock held by
such Management Shareholder shall automatically convert into Class A Common
Stock, unless transferred to Onex or another Management Shareholder. See
"Description of Capital Stock."
 
     The Management Shareholders Agreement provides the Management Shareholders
with the option to participate on a pro rata basis with Onex in sales of Common
Stock, and Onex with the right to compel participation of the Management
Shareholders in sales of Common Stock by Onex, subject, in each case, to certain
exceptions. In addition to the above-described provisions, the Management
Shareholders Agreement contains provisions granting the Management Shareholders
certain registration rights. See "Shares Available for Future Sale."
 
     The Management Shareholders Agreement terminates if Onex ceases to hold in
the aggregate 20% of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Company or if
another person or group holds in the aggregate a greater percentage of the
outstanding voting capital stock of the Company than Onex.
 
     Director Shareholders Agreement.  The following is a summary of certain
provisions of the Director Shareholders Agreement, dated as of May 31, 1995,
among the Company, Onex and certain directors ("Director Holders") of the
Company (the "Director Shareholders Agreement" and, together with the Management
Shareholders Agreement, the "Shareholders Agreements"). The following directors
of the Company are party to the Director Shareholders Agreement: Michael E.
Treacy, Michael Carpenter, C. Lee Johnson and R. Geoffrey P. Styles.
 
     The Director Shareholders Agreement governs, among other things, the manner
and means by which Common Stock, or securities convertible into shares of Common
Stock, held by the Director Holders at any time may be transferred. Pursuant to
such Agreement, the transfer of shares of the Common Stock, including shares
received upon the conversion of options, by Director Holders is prohibited
except (i) to immediate family members (or to trusts for the exclusive benefit
of the transferor or his immediate family members), or (ii) through the
facilities of any securities exchange, provided that such sales do not occur
within 180 days of any public offering of Common Stock.

     The Director Shareholders Agreement provides the Director Holders with the
option to participate on a pro rata basis with Onex in sales of Common Stock,
and Onex with the right to compel participation of the Director Holders in sales
of the Common Stock by Onex, subject, in each case, to certain exceptions. In
addition to the above-described provisions, the Director Shareholders Agreement
contains provisions granting the Director Holders certain registration rights.
See "Shares Available for Future Sale."
 
     The Director Shareholders Agreement terminates if Onex ceases to hold in
the aggregate 20% of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Company or if
another person or group holds in the aggregate a greater percentage of the
outstanding voting capital stock of the Company than Onex.

$0.4 million for management services rendered in 1993, 1994, 1995 and the six
months ended June 29, 1996, respectively. Such fee is payable indefinitely and
is subject to an annual inflation adjustment. Onex has agreed to relinquish its
right to receive such fee upon completion of the offering, in consideration for
which Onex will receive $4.0 million payable in Class B Common Stock valued at
the initial public offering price.

     The aggregate amount of such loans guaranteed by the Company as of June 29,
1996 was $3.3 million. The shares of Common Stock purchased were pledged to the
Company as collateral for the Company's guaranty. All of such shares are subject
to the Shareholders Agreements. Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreements, if a
shareholder defaults on such indebtedness, the Company has the option to
purchase such shares at a purchase price equal to 85% of fair market value at
the time of purchase, reduced by the amount of the outstanding indebtedness
secured by the shares.

ONEX SUBORDINATED NOTES
 
   
     In connection with the financing of the acquisition of BKDS, the Company
issued to Onex, a 10% convertible subordinated note due 2002, in the principal
amount of $2.5 million (the "Onex Convertible Note"). In connection with the
acquisition of NAD, the Company issued to Onex a 12% Subordinated Note due 2005
in the principal amount of $15 million (the "12% Subordinated Note") and a
convertible subordinated note due 2005 in the principal amount of $3.5 million
(the "Onex NAD Note"). Onex intends to convert $2.5 million of principal and
$1.0 million of accrued interest outstanding under the Onex Convertible Note
into 350,100 shares of Common Stock immediately prior to completion of the
offering based on the stated conversion price of $10.00 per share. The
outstanding principal balance of $15 million and accrued interest of $0.4
million under the 12% Subordinated Note will be prepaid using the proceeds of
the offering. During the year ended December 30, 1995, the Company paid $2.1
million of principal and $41,000 of accrued interest under the Onex NAD Note,
resulting in an outstanding balance of $1.4 million at December 30, 1995. On
February 1, 1996, Onex converted $0.8 million principal amount of the Onex NAD
Note into 80,000 shares of the Common Stock and the remaining balance on such
note of approximately $0.6 million plus accrued interest of $0.1 million was
paid to Onex. See "Use of Proceeds."

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
GENERAL
 
     The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 50,000,000
shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares
of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and (ii) 10,000,000 shares
of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share. Of the authorized shares of Class
A Common Stock, 3,400,000 shares are being offered in the offering and 6,851,025
shares will be reserved for issuance upon conversion of Class B Common Stock
into Class A Common Stock. Of the authorized shares of Class B Common Stock,
5,652,400 will be held by the Company's existing stockholders, and 1,208,625
will be reserved for issuance upon exercise of options and warrants and
conversion of outstanding convertible indebtedness. No shares of preferred stock
will be issued and outstanding upon completion of the offering. A description of
the material terms and provisions of the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation affecting the relative rights of the Class A Common Stock, the
Class B Common Stock and the Preferred Stock is set forth below. The following
description of the capital stock of the Company is intended as a summary only
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the Company's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus forms a part and to Delaware corporate law.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
     Voting Rights.  Except for matters where applicable law requires the
approval of one or both classes of Common Stock voting as separate classes and
as otherwise described below, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock vote as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the
stockholders, including the election of directors. Each share of Class A Common
Stock is entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled
to ten votes. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be
approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a
plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of Class A Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy, voting
together as a single class. Under Delaware law, the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock would be
required to approve, among other matters, an adverse change in the powers,
preferences or special rights of the shares of Class A Common Stock.
 
     Dividends.  Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will
share ratably in any dividend declared by the board of directors, subject to any
preferential rights of any outstanding Preferred Stock. Dividends consisting of
shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock may be paid only as
follows: (i) shares of Class A Common Stock may be paid only to holders of
shares of Class A Common Stock, and shares of Class B Common Stock may be paid
only to holders of Class B Common Stock; and (ii) shares shall be paid
proportionally with respect to each outstanding share of Class A and Class B
Common Stock.
 
     The Company may not subdivide or combine shares of either class of Common
Stock without at the same time proportionally subdividing or combining shares of
the other class.
 
     Conversion.  Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at the
option of the holder thereof into one share of Class A Common Stock. Any shares
of Class B Common Stock transferred to a person other than an existing holder of
Class B Common Stock or any affiliate thereof shall automatically convert into
shares of Class A Common Stock upon such disposition. In addition, in the event
that any employee of the Company holding Class B Common Stock ceases to be an
employee for any reason, the shares of Class B Common Stock held by such
employee shall automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock, unless
transferred to Onex or another employee stockholder.
 
     Other Rights.  In the event of any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another company that is not a subsidiary of the Company in
connection with which shares of Common Stock are converted into or exchangeable
for shares of stock, other securities or property (including cash), all holders
of Common
 
                                       56
<PAGE>   60
 
Stock, regardless of class, will be entitled to receive the same kind and amount
of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash).
 
     On liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after payment in
full of the amounts required to be paid to holders of Preferred Stock, if any,
all holders of Common Stock, regardless of class, are entitled to share ratably
in any assets available for distribution to holders of shares of Common Stock.
 
     No shares of either class of Common Stock are subject to redemption or have
preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of Common Stock.
 
     Upon completion of the offering, all the outstanding shares of Class A
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
     The Preferred Stock is issuable from time to time in one or more series and
with such designations and preferences for each series as shall be stated in the
resolutions providing for the designation and issue of each such series adopted
by the board of directors of the Company. The board of directors is authorized
by the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to determine, among other
things, the voting, dividend, redemption, conversion and liquidation powers,
rights and preferences and the limitations thereon pertaining to such series.
The board of directors, without stockholder approval, may issue Preferred Stock
with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power of the
holders of the Common Stock and could have certain anti-takeover effects. The
Company has no present plans to issue any shares of Preferred Stock. The ability
of the board of directors to issue Preferred Stock without stockholder approval
could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control
of the Company or the removal of existing management.
 
LIMITATION ON THE LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS
 
     The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"),
directors of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as a
director. This provision, however, does not eliminate a director's liability (i)
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) in respect of
certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases or (iv)
for any transactions from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. In addition, this provision does not limit directors' liability under
federal securities laws.
 
DELAWARE LAW, CHARTER AND BY-LAW PROVISIONS
 
     Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits certain business combinations with
certain stockholders for a period of three years after they acquire 15% of the
outstanding voting stock of a corporation. The Company has expressly elected not
to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.
 
     The Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company to be
adopted upon completion of the offering will (i) prohibit the stockholders of
the Company from taking action by written consent in lieu of a meeting by less
than unanimous written consent and (ii) provide that special meetings of
stockholders may be called only by the Board of Directors. Such provisions could
have the effect of discouraging attempts by others to obtain control of the
Company or delaying changes in control or management of the Company.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
     The transfer agent and registrar for the Class A and Class B Common Stock
is The Bank of New York.

                        SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
     Upon completion of the offering, the Company will have 3,400,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and 5,652,400 shares of Class B
Common Stock issued and outstanding. All of the shares of Class A Common Stock
to be sold in the offering will be freely tradeable without restrictions or
further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares purchased
by an "affiliate" of the Company (as that term is defined in Rule 144), which
will be subject to the resale limitations of Rule 144. The shares of Class B
Common Stock to be outstanding upon completion of the offering are convertible
into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis at the option of the
holder and in certain other circumstances. Shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of Class B Common Stock have not have been registered
under the Securities Act and may not be sold in the absence of an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act other than in accordance with
Rule 144 or another exemption from registration.
 
     In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons
whose shares are required to be aggregated) who has beneficially owned shares of
Common Stock for at least two years, or a person who may be deemed an
"affiliate", is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of
shares that does not exceed the greater of one percent of the total number of
shares of the class of stock being sold or the average weekly reported trading
volume of the class of stock being sold during the four calendar weeks preceding
such sale. A person who is not deemed an "affiliate" of the Company at any time
during the three months preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned shares
for at least three years is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without
regard to the volume limitations described above. As defined in Rule 144, an
"affiliate" of an issuer is a person that directly or indirectly through the use
of one or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with, such issuer. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") has published a notice of proposed rulemaking which, if adopted as
proposed, would shorten the applicable holding periods to one and two years,
respectively (from the current two- and three-year periods described above). The
Company cannot predict whether such amendments will be adopted or the effect
thereof on the trading market for the Class A Common Stock. The foregoing
summary of Rule 144 is not intended to be a complete description thereof.
 
     Certain directors, officers and management employees, holding an aggregate
of 1,080,500 shares and options to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock (the
"Management Shares"), and Martin-Brower, the holder of a warrant to purchase
283,425 shares of Class B Common Stock (the "Martin-Brower Shares"), have
certain rights to require the Company to register under the Securities Act sales
of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares,
subject to certain restrictions. If, subsequent to the completion of the
offering, the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the
Securities Act, such holders are entitled to notice of such registration and to
include their shares in such registration with their expenses borne by the
Company, subject to the right of an underwriter participating in the offering to
limit the number of shares included in the registration by such holders. With
regard to the Management Shares, the Company is required only to register such
shares on a pro rata basis with shares registered on behalf of Onex.
 
     The Company and each of the Company's existing stockholders have agreed,
among other things, not to sell or otherwise transfer any shares of Common Stock
for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus. See "Underwriters."
 
     Prior to the offering, there has been no market for the Class A Common
Stock and no prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that market sales
of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, or the availability of such
shares for sale, will have on the market price of the Class A Common Stock
prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of
Class A Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales
could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Class A
Common Stock offered in the offering.

     The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several
Underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the shares of Class A Common
Stock offered hereby are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by
their counsel and to certain other conditions. The Underwriters are obligated to
take and pay for all of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby (other
than those covered by the over-allotment option described below) if any such
shares are taken.
 
     The Underwriters initially propose to offer part of the shares of Class A
Common Stock directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on
the cover page hereof and part to certain dealers at a price that represents a
concession not in excess of $     a share under the public offering price. Any
Underwriter may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess
of $     a share to other Underwriters or to certain other dealers. After the
initial offering of the shares of Class A Common Stock, the offering price and
other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the Underwriters.
 
     The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30
days from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of 510,000
additional shares of Class A Common Stock at the public offering price set forth
on the cover page hereof, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The
Underwriters may exercise such option solely for the purpose of covering
over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering of the shares of
Class A Common Stock offered hereby. To the extent such option is exercised,
each Underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to
purchase approximately the same percentage of such additional shares of Class A
Common Stock as the number set forth next to such Underwriter's name in the
preceding table bears to the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock
offered by the Underwriters hereby.
 
     The Underwriters have informed the Company that they do not intend to
confirm sales to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.
 
     Application has been made to have the Class A Common Stock approved for
quotation on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "PSDS."
 
     The Company and each of the Company's existing stockholders, have agreed,
subject to certain exceptions described below, not to (i) offer, pledge, sell,
contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option
or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or
otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common
Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Common Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are now owned by the
undersigned or are hereafter acquired), or (ii) enter into any swap or other
arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether
 
                                       59
<PAGE>   63
 
any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by
delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise for a
period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus, without the prior written
consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as representative of the several
Underwriters, provided that the Company may issue shares upon the exercise of an
option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date of
this Prospectus of which the Underwriters have been advised, during such 180-day
period. The lock-up agreements permit (i) the pledge of Common Stock as security
for existing indebtedness incurred in connection with financing the purchase of
such Common Stock and any refinancings thereof, and (ii) in the case of Onex,
the transfer of Common Stock to any Onex affiliate.
 
     From time to time, certain of the Underwriters have provided, and continue
to provide, investment banking services to the Company and its affiliates. Mr.
Michael Carpenter, a director of the Company, serves as Executive Vice President
of Travelers Group, Inc. Smith Barney Inc., one of the Underwriters, is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Travelers Group, Inc.
 
     The Company has agreed to indemnify the several Underwriters against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
PRICING OF THE OFFERING
 
     Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock. The initial public offering price has been determined by negotiations
between the Company and the Underwriters. Among the factors considered in
determining the initial public offering price were the future prospects of the
Company and its industry in general, sales, earnings and certain other financial
and operating information of the Company in recent periods, and the
price-earnings ratios, price-sales ratios, market prices of securities and
certain financial and operating information of companies engaged in activities
similar to those of the Company.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
  ProSource, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ProSource, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and December 30, 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 30, 1995. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ProSource, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and December 30, 1995, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             DECEMBER 31, 1994, DECEMBER 30, 1995 AND JUNE 29, 1996
             (INSOFAR AS THESE NOTES REFER TO THE PERIOD SUBSEQUENT
                   TO DECEMBER 30, 1995, THEY ARE UNAUDITED)
 
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     ProSource, Inc. (the "Parent") is engaged in the foodservice distribution
business, specializing in limited-menu quick service and casual dining
restaurant customers, primarily operating in the United States. ProSource, Inc.
and subsidiaries (the "Company") distribute to approximately 14,450 restaurants
consisting primarily of Burger King, Arby's, Long John Silver's, Sonic,
Chick-fil-A, Wendy's, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, TGI Friday's, Chili's and TCBY
restaurant concepts.
 
     The Parent operates through three subsidiaries, ProSource Services
Corporation ("PSC"), ProSource Distribution Services Limited ("ProSource
Canada") and BroMar Services, Inc. ("BroMar"). PSC commenced operations in July
1992. The consolidated financial statements include the results of the
operations of PSC from its inception and the results of operations of ProSource
Canada and BroMar (both of which were acquired by the Company as part of the
acquisition of the National Accounts Division ("NAD") of The Martin-Brower
Company ("Martin-Brower")) since the date of acquisition. The Company is a
subsidiary of Onex Corporation (collectively with its affiliates, "Onex"), a
company traded on the Toronto and Montreal stock exchanges.
 
     The Company operates on a 52- to-53-week accounting year ending on the last
Saturday of each calendar year.
 
     The following is a summary of the Company's significant accounting
policies:
 
  (a) Interim Financial Information
 
     The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 29, 1996, and the
unaudited consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the 26 weeks
ended July 1, 1995 and June 29, 1996 and the unaudited consolidated statement of
stockholders' equity for the 26 weeks ended June 29, 1996 include, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations and cash flows. Operating results for the 26
weeks ended June 29, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the fiscal year ending December 28, 1996.
 
  (b) Basis of Consolidation
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. Operations of the companies and businesses acquired have
been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from their
respective dates of acquisition. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
  (c) Accounting Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  (d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     Cash and cash equivalents include commercial paper with original maturities
of three months or less, and cash on hand and on deposit at various financial
institutions.
 
  (e) Inventories
 
     Inventories, consisting primarily of food items, are stated at the lower of
cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost
method and the first-in, first-out method. Cost of inventory using the weighted
average cost method represents 100 percent, 100 percent, 32 percent and 37
percent of inventories in 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
 
  (f) Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are stated at cost. Leasehold improvements and
equipment under capital leases are amortized using the straight-line method over
the lesser of asset life or lease term. Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method, based upon the following estimated useful lives:

     Costs of normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when
incurred. Replacements or betterments of properties are capitalized. When assets
are retired or otherwise disposed of, their cost and the applicable accumulated
depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and the resulting
gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
  (g) Intangible Assets
 
     Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the
following periods:
 
<TABLE>
        <S>                                                               <C>

        Noncompete agreements...........................................  5 to 7 years
        Customer lists..................................................    12 years
</TABLE>
 
     Goodwill results from business acquisitions and principally consists of the
excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets of
businesses acquired. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates the
realizability of goodwill based upon expectations of operating income for each
subsidiary having a material goodwill balance. The Company believes that no
material impairment of goodwill exists at December 30, 1995 and June 29, 1996.
 
  (h) Deferred Debt Issuance Costs
 
     Included in other assets are deferred debt issuance costs which are
amortized over the term of the related debt.
 
  (i) Self-Insurance
 
     The Company self-insures for certain levels under its workers'
compensation, auto liability and medical and dental insurance programs. Costs in
excess of retention limits are insured under various contracts with
 
                                       F-8

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
insurance carriers. Estimated costs for workers' compensation claims for which
the Company is responsible are determined based on historical claims experience,
adjusted for current trends. The liability related to workers' compensation is
discounted to net present value using a risk-free treasury rate for maturities
that match the expected settlement periods. At December 31, 1994, December 30,
1995 and June 29, 1996, the estimated liabilities related to workers'
compensation were approximately $2.4 million, $4.1 million and $4.4 million,
respectively, net of a discount of approximately $0.7 million, $1.2 million and
$1.5 million, respectively. These estimated liabilities related to workers'
compensation are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
 
  (j) Net Loss Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
 
     Earnings per share has been computed using the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common
equivalent shares (consisting of options and warrants) are excluded during
periods of net loss since they would be anti-dilutive. Shares and options issued
within one year prior to the filing of a Registration Statement relating to an
initial public offering (see Note 14) have been treated as outstanding for all
periods presented, even where the impact of the incremental shares is
anti-dilutive.
 
  (k) Income Taxes
 
     The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and
assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement
and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for
the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
 
     Income taxes of interim periods are determined based on the Company's
estimate of its annual effective tax rate. The rate is revised, if necessary, as
of the end of each interim period during the fiscal year to reflect the
Company's best estimate of its annual effective tax rate.
 
  (l) Interest Rate Protection Agreements
 
     The differential to be paid or received under interest rate swap agreements
are accrued with the resulting net interest income or expense recorded as an
adjustment to interest expense on the underlying debt. Premiums paid for
interest rate collars are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the
agreement.
 
  (m) Translation of Foreign Currency
 
     The translation of the accounts of ProSource Canada into U.S. dollars is
performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at
the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using an average
exchange rate during the period. Translation adjustments arising from
differences in exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated
foreign currency translation adjustments as a component of stockholders' equity.
 
  (n) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
("SFAS 121"), which became effective on January 1, 1996, and requires long-lived
assets be reviewed for impairment (measured based on the fair value of assets).

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     During 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which establishes a fair value based method of accounting for
compensation costs related to stock option plans and other forms of stock based
compensation plans as an alternative to the intrinsic value based method of
accounting defined under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. Companies
who do not elect the new method of accounting for 1996 will be required to
provide pro forma disclosures as if the fair value based method had been
applied. The Company will include the disclosures required by SFAS 123 in the
notes to future consolidated financial statements.
 
  (o) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
     The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash
and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities. The carrying
amounts reported for long-term senior debt approximate fair value because it is
a variable rate instrument that re-prices monthly.
 
  (p) Reclassifications
 
     Certain amounts in the 1993, 1994 and 1995 consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 consolidated financial
statements presentation.
 
(2) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
  (a) National Accounts Division of The Martin-Brower Company
 
     On March 31, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of NAD from
Martin-Brower. The total cost of the acquisition of $170 million was funded
through a borrowing of $116 million under the Company's revolving credit
facility, a $9 million note payable to Martin-Brower (net of a discount to
reflect a constant interest rate), $18.5 million in notes payable to Onex, and
the issuance of 26,500 shares of the Company's common stock valued at
approximately $26.5 million. The acquisition has been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the assets acquired of approximately $232 million, consisting
primarily of accounts receivable and inventories and liabilities assumed of
approximately $87 million, consisting primarily of trade accounts payable, based
on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. As a result of this
transaction, the Company recorded total costs in excess of fair value of net
assets acquired of approximately $25 million. In addition, the Company incurred
an extraordinary charge relating to the write-off of approximately $0.8 million
of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs on debt repaid at the acquisition
date.
 
     On March 30, 1996, the Company revised its estimates of certain costs
related to the acquisition by $12 million. The effect of the revision increased
acquisition-related liabilities by $12 million, deferred tax assets by
approximately $4.4 million and goodwill by approximately $7.6 million.
 
  (b) Malone Products, Inc.
 
     On October 31, 1994, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed
certain liabilities of Malone Products, Inc. ("Malone"). The total cost of the
acquisition of $3.8 million was funded through a borrowing of $3.3 million under
the Company's revolving credit facility and $0.5 million of convertible
subordinated debt issued to Malone. The acquisition of Malone resulted in the
recognition of $3.4 million of costs in excess of fair value of net assets
acquired. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
assets acquired of approximately $7 million, consisting primarily of accounts
receivable and inventories, and liabilities assumed of approxi-

mately $6.6 million, consisting primarily of trade accounts payable, based on
their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.
 
  (c) Valley Food Services, Inc.
 
     On March 27, 1993, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets
and the assumption of certain liabilities of Valley Food Services, Inc.
("Valley"). The total cost of the acquisition of $9.3 million was funded through
long-term senior debt. The acquisition of Valley resulted in the recognition of
$0.6 million as costs in excess of fair value of net assets acquired. The
acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the assets acquired of
approximately $12.4 million, consisting primarily of accounts receivable,
inventories and identifiable intangibles, and liabilities assumed of
approximately $3.7 million, consisting primarily of trade accounts payable,
based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.
 
  (d) McCabe's Quality Foods, California, Inc.
 
     On February 27, 1993, the Company acquired certain operating assets,
consisting primarily of accounts receivable and inventories, of McCabe's Quality
Foods, California, Inc. at their estimated fair values for approximately $3.9
million. This transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and financed through PSC's existing credit facility.
 
  (e) BKDS Acquisition
 
     On June 30, 1992, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets
and the assumption of certain liabilities of Burger King Distribution Services
("BKDS"), a division of Burger King Corporation ("BKC"). In 1994, the Company
and BKC settled certain purchase price provisions by BKC paying $6.6 million to
the Company. The payment has been accounted for as an adjustment of the original
purchase price by decreasing net deferred tax assets by $1.3 million,
acquisition-related distribution contracts by $3.2 million and goodwill by $2.1
million.
 
(3) RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
     In conjunction with the NAD acquisition, the Company incurred restructuring
costs of approximately $0.7 million in 1995 primarily relating to costs incurred
to consolidate and integrate certain functions and operations. In 1996, as a
result of a study to analyze, among other things, ways to integrate the NAD
operations, improve customer service, reduce operating costs and increase
existing warehouse capacity, the Company adopted a plan to consolidate and
integrate its corporate and network operations. Through this plan, which was
approved by the Board of Directors, the Company specifically identified all
significant actions, consisting of the closing of 19 distribution facilities
currently leased and 11 distribution facilities currently owned. The Company has
begun activities to integrate these facilities, including communications to its
employees and its customers, and expects to complete the plan in stages through
the year 2000. As a result, in the first quarter of 1996, the Company accrued
restructuring charges of $10.9 million. The restructuring charges consist
approximately of $7.9 million in costs related to the termination of the
existing facility leases, $1.2 million of costs to be incurred after operations
cease in the closed facilities and $1.8 million of other costs. As of June 29,
1996, the Company had approximately $10.5 million of accrued unpaid
restructuring charges.
 
     The significant change brought about by the plan to integrate and
consolidate the existing distribution network impaired the value of long-lived
assets to be held and used until the plan is completed. As a result, in
conjunction with the recording of the restructuring reserves in the first
quarter of 1996, the Company recognized a loss on impairment in value of
long-lived assets. The loss consists of $7.3 million of land and owned buildings
and $4.3 million of furniture and equipment and leasehold improvements
management plans to hold and use through the completion of the plan, and $4.1
million of capitalized software costs which do not

meet the long-term information technology strategy of the Company. The Company
measured the amount of the loss by comparing fair value of the land and owned
building (determined by independent appraisals and updated with current
comparisons to similar assets) to capitalized cost. The carrying value of
furniture and equipment and capitalized software costs was written down to net
realizable value since it is being replaced.

     On March 31, 1995, in conjunction with the acquisition of NAD, the Company
entered into a new $240 million Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan
Agreement") with a group of banks that extends through March 31, 2000. Such
agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $210 million and
term loans aggregating $30 million. This agreement replaced all existing senior
debt which was due to expire in September 1997.
 
     The Loan Agreement requires PSC, ProSource Canada and BroMar (the
"Borrowers"), to meet specific affirmative and negative covenants which include,
among other requirements, limitations on the acquisition and disposition of
assets, prohibition of borrowings other than under the Loan Agreement,
restrictions on dividend payments and compliance with certain financial
covenants. The Loan Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the
Borrowers' assets, and the pledge by the Parent of all of the issued and
outstanding stock of the Borrowers and other collateral rights. In addition, the
Parent has guaranteed payment of all amounts due under the Loan Agreement.
 
     Borrowings under the Loan Agreement are limited to a borrowing base as
defined in the agreement. At December 30, 1995 and June 29, 1996, the Company
had approximately $82 million and $73 million,

respectively, available under the revolving credit facility. The Loan Agreement
also provides for a commitment fee of 0.50 percent per annum of the daily unused
revolving credit facility, as defined in the agreement.
 
     In 1994, PSC entered into two interest rate swap agreements, having
notional principal amounts of approximately $10.7 million and $20 million, that
mature in 1997 and 1999, respectively. Under these agreements, PSC makes fixed
rate payments and receives floating rate payments in return. In 1995, PSC
entered into two interest rate collar transactions having notional principal
amounts of approximately $25 million and $20 million, maturing in 1998. The
counterparties to these agreements are large financial institutions. These
interest rate protection agreements were entered into to reduce the Company's
exposure to interest rate volatility and are not used for trading purposes. At
December 30, 1995 and June 29, 1996, the total fair value of these agreements
was an unrealized loss of approximately $2.2 million and $0.9 million,
respectively, based on quoted market prices as provided by the financial
institutions which are the counterparties to the interest rate protection
agreements.

conversion price of $10 per share.
 
     A $3.5 million convertible subordinated note was payable to Onex, with
interest at prime rate (8.5 percent at December 30, 1995), compounded annually
and due, together with the principal, on April 1, 2005. During the year ended
December 30, 1995, the Company paid $2.1 million of such note to Onex resulting
in an outstanding balance of $1.4 million at December 30, 1995. On February 1,
1996, Onex converted $0.8 million of the note into 80,000 shares of the
Company's common stock and the remaining balance on the note of approximately

     The net change in deferred tax assets for the year ended December 30, 1995,
included $3.1 million recorded as a result of the acquisition reserves
established in connection with the acquisition of NAD.
 
     During the period ended June 29, 1996, the net change in deferred tax
assets included $4.4 million recorded as a result of the increase in the
acquisition reserves in connection with the acquisition of NAD. Additionally, a
deferred tax benefit of $11 million was recorded which consisted primarily of
future deductible temporary differences attributable to the SFAS 121 adjustments
and the accrual of restructuring reserves during the period ended June 29, 1996.
 
     In order to fully realize the net deferred tax assets at December 30, 1995
and June 29, 1996, the Company will need to generate future taxable income of
approximately $18.5 million and $56.1 million, respectively. Management believes
that it is more likely than not that the existing net deductible temporary
differences will reverse during periods in which the Company will generate such
taxable income. The Company anticipates that increases in taxable income will
result primarily from (i) future projected revenue growth through the addition
of new restaurant chains and the expansion of existing restaurant chains, (ii) a
reduction in interest expense due to a reduction in its indebtedness, (iii) cost
savings through its corporate and network consolidation plan and (iv) other cost
reduction initiatives.
 
     At December 31, 1994, December 30, 1995 and June 29, 1996, other current
assets included income taxes receivable of approximately $1.3 million, $1.4
million and $1.6 million, respectively, which consisted primarily of
overpayments of tax liabilities and pending carryback refund claims.

1996 before they expire in 2011.
 
     United States income tax returns for fiscal years 1992 and 1993 are
currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Assessments, if
any, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial position or results of operations of the Company as of December 30,
1995 and June 29, 1996.
 
(9) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
  (a) Defined Benefit Pension Plans
 
     The Company has three noncontributory defined benefit pension plans
covering substantially all of its salaried and hourly employees excluding those
employees covered by multi-employer pension plans under collective bargaining
agreements. The pension benefits are based on years of service and participants'
compensation. The Company's funding policy is to contribute an amount not less
than the ERISA minimum funding requirement nor more than the maximum amount that
can be deducted for income tax purposes. The following table sets forth the
plans' funded status and the amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated
balance sheets at December 25, 1993, December 31, 1994 and December 30, 1995
(amounts in thousands).

multi-employer pension plans under collective bargaining agreements was
approximately $0.1 million, $0.1 million, $0.9 million and $0.6 million
for the years ended December 25, 1993, December 31, 1994, December 30, 1995 and
the period ended June 29, 1996.
 
  (b) Defined Contribution Plans
 
     The Company sponsors various defined contribution plans which cover
substantially all full-time and part-time, salaried and hourly employees.
Depending on the plan, eligible employees may contribute up to 10, 12.5 or 15
percent of base compensation, and the Company matches 50 percent of the first 4
percent or 100 percent of the first 2.5 percent of eligible compensation.
Effective January 1, 1996, all of these plans were combined into one plan (the
"Associates' Savings Plan"). The Company also has a Money Purchase Plan which
covers those former NAD salaried employees not covered by a defined benefit
plan. Under this plan, the Company contributes 10 percent of eligible salary.
The amount of contribution expenses incurred by the Company for these plans were
approximately $0.7 million, $0.7 million, $2.2 million and $1.4 million for the
years ended December 25, 1993, December 31, 1994, December 30, 1995 and the
period ended June 29, 1996, respectively.
 
  (c) Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
 
     The Company plans to adopt a supplemental executive retirement plan in 1996
to cover certain key executives of the Company. Accrued pension costs of
approximately $0.1 million related to this plan were recorded at December 30,
1995.
 
(10) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
     Under the ProSource, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Stock Plan"),
at June 30, 1992 officers and key employees of the Company ("Management
Employees") purchased 408,100 shares of common stock at $10 per share. During
1993 and 1994, 125,600 and 6,900 shares of common stock were purchased by
Management Employees at $11 per share, respectively. During 1995, in connection
with the NAD acquisition, certain Management Employees purchased 208,500 shares
of common stock at $10 per share. In connection with the purchases of common
stock, each Management Employee entered into a Management Shareholders Agreement
with the Company and Onex.
 
     The ProSource, Inc. Management Option Plan (1995) (the "1995 Option Plan")
was amended in conjunction with the acquisition of NAD. The 1995 Option Plan
provides certain Management Employees with options to purchase one-half the
number of shares of common stock purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan at the same price per share paid by such stockholder.

                   (A DIVISION OF THE MARTIN-BROWER COMPANY)
 
           NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
 
NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
 
     The unaudited condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 1995, and
the unaudited condensed combined statements of income and changes in divisional
equity and cash flows for the 39 weeks ended March 31, 1995 include, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's combined financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows. Operating results for the 39
weeks ended March 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 1, 1995. These statements should
be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements and notes thereto
for the fiscal year ended July 1, 1994.
 
     The unaudited condensed combined financial statements include the accounts
of (a) the National Accounts Division, a division of The Martin-Brower Company
(the "Company"), (b) NAD Distribution Systems, a division of Martin-Brower of
Canada, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and (c) BroMar Services,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, collectively the "Division". The
Company is wholly owned by Dalgety, Inc. (the "Parent") and ultimately wholly
owned by Dalgety PLC, a company traded on the London and Australian stock
exchanges. All significant intradivisional transactions have been eliminated.
 
NOTE 2 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
     The Company has provided the Division with certain legal, treasury, audit,
insurance, facility, human resource management, regulatory and administrative
services. Charges for these services to the Division are based on allocations of
the Company's actual direct and indirect costs using varying allocation bases
(payroll, headcount, floor space, etc.) designed to estimate the actual cost
incurred by the Company to render these services to the Division. However, while
management believes that these charges are reasonable, there can be no assurance
that these allocations would approximate the costs incurred if the Division had
operated as an independent stand-alone entity. The allocation process is
consistent with the methodology used by the Company to allocate the cost of
similar service to its other division. The allocated cost of these services was
$7,778 for the period ended March 31, 1995 and is reflected in the combined
statement of income.
 
     The Parent at the end of the fiscal year usually charges the Company for
interest and certain services, paid for by the Parent on behalf of the Company,
which is then allocated to the Division. No amounts have been allocated to the
Division for the period ended March 31, 1995.
 
     The divisional equity account varies according to the working capital
requirements of the Division. The Division is charged interest on that portion
of the equity account deemed to represent advances from the Parent. Total
interest expense of $1,005 relating to such advances is included in the combined
statement of income for the period ended March 31, 1995. This interest is based
on interest rates incurred by the Parent.
 
NOTE 3 -- ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:
 
     The Company has an agreement with two financial institutions to sell, on an
ongoing basis and with limited recourse, up to $50,000 of selected trade
accounts receivable. Recourse is limited principally to the substitution of
"eligible" receivables for "ineligible" receivables as defined in the agreement.
As of March 31, 1995, none of the sold receivables were allocated to the
Division by management.
 
NOTE 4 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
     As of March 31, 1995, the Company had open letters of credit, some of which
secured guarantees to third parties, net of amounts reported as liabilities or
lease commitments, aggregating $13,369 available for the

                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
 
Division and the Company's other operations. Commitment fees to banks associated
with open letters of credit vary from  3/8% to  5/8%.
 
     The Division has various claims and legal proceedings outstanding. In the
opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of outstanding litigation and claims
will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the
Division.
 
NOTE 5 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
 
     On March 31, 1995, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and
certain liabilities of the Division to ProSource, Inc. in accordance with the
provisions within the Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of the National
Accounts Division of The Martin-Brower Company and Martin-Brower of Canada, Ltd.
(the "Purchase Agreement") dated November 10, 1994. The net book value of the
net assets sold was approximately $151,000 as of March 31, 1995.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholder of The Martin-Brower Company
 
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the National
Accounts Division of The Martin-Brower Company as of July 2, 1993 and July 1,
1994 and the related combined statements of income and changes in divisional
equity and of cash flows for the 52 week periods then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the combined financial statements audited by us present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the National Accounts
Division at July 2, 1993 and July 1, 1994, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the 52 week periods then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
 
As explained in Notes 1 and 3, the National Accounts Division is a division of
The Martin-Brower Company and has extensive transactions with related parties.

                           NATIONAL ACCOUNTS DIVISION
                   (A DIVISION OF THE MARTIN-BROWER COMPANY)
 
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
 
NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
     The combined financial statements include the accounts of (a) the National
Accounts Division, a division of The Martin-Brower Company (the "Company"), (b)
NAD Distribution Systems, a division of Martin-Brower of Canada, Ltd., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, and (c) BroMar Services, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, collectively the "Division". The Company is wholly
owned by Dalgety, Inc. (the "Parent") and ultimately wholly owned by Dalgety
PLC, a company traded on the London and Australian stock exchanges. All
significant intradivisional transactions have been eliminated.
 
     On November 10, 1994, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the
"Purchase Agreement") to sell the Division to ProSource, Inc. ("ProSource"), a
subsidiary of Onex Corporation, a company traded on the Toronto and Montreal
stock exchanges. (See Note 12.)
 
     The accompanying financial statements reflect the "carve-out" financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the Division for the periods
presented. Certain general and administrative expenses incurred by the Company
have been allocated to the Division on bases described in Note 3 which, in the
opinion of management, are reasonable. However, such expenses are not
necessarily indicative of and it is not practicable for management to estimate,
the nature and level of expenses which might have been incurred had the Division
been operating as a separate company.
 
     The financial information included herein does not necessarily reflect what
the financial position and results of operations of the Division would have been
had it operated as a stand-alone entity during the periods covered, and may not
be indicative of future operations or financial position.
 
     The Company and the Division will have rights and obligations as negotiated
in connection with, or as reflected in, the Purchase Agreement which has been
executed between the Company and ProSource. Certain other rights and obligations
may arise as a result of a proposed service agreement between the Company and
ProSource. (See Note 12.)
 
  Operations
 
     The Division is a distributor of food and paper products to quick service
and specialty restaurant chains. One customer accounted for a 40 percent and 37
percent of the Division's combined sales in fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
     The Division's operations in Canada had sales and loss before taxes for
fiscal 1994 of $43,475 and $(35), respectively ($51,652 and $(113) for fiscal
1993). Net Canadian assets (liabilities) at July 2, 1993 and July 1, 1994 were
$(168) and $1,915, respectively, including net property, plant and equipment of
$267 and $176 in 1993 and 1994, respectively.
 
  Significant Accounting Policies
 
     A summary of significant accounting policies follows:
 
     A. Fiscal Year:  The Division's fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks
ending on the Friday closest to June 30. Results for 1993 are for the 52 weeks
ended July 2, 1993 and for 1994 are for the 52 weeks ended July 1, 1994.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
 
     B. Translation of Foreign Currency:  The accounts of the Division's
Canadian operations are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 52 as follows:
 
<TABLE>
        <S>                                   <C>
        Assets and liabilities                Year end exchange rates
        Revenues and expenses                 Average monthly exchange rates
</TABLE>
 
     Translation gains and losses are included in the cumulative translation
adjustment component of divisional equity.
 
     C. Inventories:  Inventories, consisting of product for resale, are stated
at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined generally using the
last-in, first out (LIFO) method. Inventories would have been higher by
approximately $2,739 at July 2, 1993 and $1,757 at July 1, 1994 if the first-in,
first out (FIFO) method had been used. The Division's inventories are included
with the other inventories of the Company in a single LIFO pool. The calculation
of the effects of LIFO on the Division is based on the relative proportions of
inventory on a FIFO basis for the Company's operations at June 30, 1992, July 2,
1993 and July 1, 1994, respectively.
 
     D. Property, Plant and Equipment:  Property additions, major renewals and
betterments are included in asset accounts at cost. Interest charges incurred
during the period required to construct major properties are capitalized as part
of the project cost and amortized over the life of the asset. Certain corporate
assets of the Company have been allocated to the Division on various bases
which, in the opinion of management, are reasonable.
 
     Depreciation is computed generally using the straight line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 40 years. Amortization
of leasehold improvements and equipment under capital leases is computed using
the straight line method generally over the shorter of the useful lives or the
remaining lease terms.
 
     E. Income Taxes:  Provision has been made for income taxes in accordance
with FAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." FAS 109 requires recognition of
deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of
events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse.
 
     The Division's operations have been included with the Parent in a U.S.
consolidated federal income tax return. The Division's Canadian operations have
been included in Martin-Brower of Canada, Ltd.'s Canadian income tax return. For
financial reporting purposes, amounts provided for income taxes are determined
as if the Division were to file separate U.S. and Canadian income tax returns
and the U.S. federal and state and Canadian federal and provincial current and
deferred income tax balances are settled through the divisional equity account.
Differences resulting from the separate return method of allocating taxes are
reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Parent. (See Note 7).
 
     F. Medical Benefits for Retired Employees:  The provisions of FAS 106,
"Employer's Accounting for Post-retirement Benefits Other than Pensions" have
not yet been adopted and the Division accounts for such costs on a cash basis.
(See Note 11).
 
     G. Revenue Recognition:  Distribution revenue is recognized upon receipt of
product by the customer.

NOTE 2 -- SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION:
 
     Cash paid during fiscal 1993 and 1994 for external interest expense was
$820 and $651, respectively. Capital lease obligations of $308 and $394 were
incurred in fiscal 1993 and 1994, respectively, primarily for transportation and
computer equipment.
 
NOTE 3 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
     The Company has provided the Division with certain legal, treasury, audit,
insurance, facility, human resource management, regulatory and administrative
services. Charges for these services to the Division are based on allocations of
the Company's actual direct and indirect costs using varying allocation bases
(payroll, headcount, floor space, etc.) designed to estimate the actual cost
incurred by the Company to render these services to the Division. However, while
management believes that these charges are reasonable, there can be no assurance
that these allocations would approximate the costs incurred if the Division had
operated as an independent stand-alone entity. The allocation process is
consistent with the methodology used by the Company to allocate the cost of
similar services to its other division. The allocated cost of these services
were $9,415 and $10,433 for fiscal 1993 and 1994, respectively, and are
reflected in the combined statements of income.
 
     In fiscal 1994, the Parent charged the Company for interest and certain
services, paid for by the Parent on behalf of the Company in fiscal 1993 and
1994, $2,629 of which was allocated to the Division.
 
     The divisional equity account varies according to the working capital
requirements of the Division. The Division is charged interest on that portion
of the equity account deemed to represent advances from the Parent. Total
interests expense of $786 and $869 relating to such advances are included in the
combined statements of income for fiscal 1993 and 1994, respectively. This
interest is based on interest rates incurred by the Parent.
 
NOTE 4 -- ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:
 
     The Company has an agreement with two financial institutions to sell, on an
ongoing basis and with limited recourse, up to $75,000 of selected trade
accounts receivable. Recourse is limited principally to the substitution of
"eligible" receivables for "ineligible" receivables as defined in the agreement.
As of July 2, 1993 and July 1, 1994, $30,000 of the sold receivables were
allocated to the Division by management. Under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, these receivables are not included in
the Division's balance sheet.
 
NOTE 5 -- PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:
 
     Property, plant and equipment consists of the following:

     Principal temporary differences between book and taxable income for the
above fiscal years consist of bad debt expense, fixed asset depreciation and
gain or loss on disposition, employee benefits, state income tax and other
expense accruals.
 
     The effective income tax rate for fiscal 1993 (39.4%) and 1994 (38.9%) is
different from the federal statutory rate (34.5% and 35% respectively) as a
result of the following: state income taxes (4.6% and 3.5%, respectively) and
other significant items, including foreign operations, certain tax credits and
nondeductible meals and entertainment.
 
NOTE 8 -- LEASES:
 
     The Division leases a portion of its transportation and other equipment and
several of its warehouses and office facilities. Leases of transportation
equipment generally expire over the next five years and are accounted for as
either capital or operating depending upon the lease terms. Certain
transportation equipment leases call for contingent rental payments based upon
mileage traveled. Most leases of facilities and other equipment are classified
as operating leases and are for various periods extending through fiscal 2007.
 
     Future minimum lease payments under capital leases and operating leases
(with initial terms of one year or more) as of July 1, 1994 are as follows:

NOTE 9 -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
 
     The Division provides retirement benefits for substantially all of its
employees through various Company-administered defined benefit and defined
contribution plans and plans administered under collective bargaining
agreements. Pension expense for the Division in fiscal 1993 and 1994 totalled
$2,670 and $3,039, respectively.
 
  Defined Benefit Plan
 
     The Company sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for
hourly paid employees not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Benefits
under the plan are based on participants' compensation over their entire years
of service. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually the maximum
amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes.
 
     Net periodic pension cost for the Division included the following
components:

  Defined contribution plans
 
     The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan for salaried employees and hourly
employees who participate in the Company's defined benefit pension plan. The
plan includes optional employee participation levels of up to 10% of eligible
earnings, subject to IRS limitations, with matching employer contributions of up
to 2% of eligible earnings. The employer contribution costs recognized by the
Division during fiscal 1993 and 1994 amounted to $387 and $429, respectively.
 
     The Company also sponsors a money purchase plan for salaried employees
under which the Company makes contributions of 10% of eligible salary, with full
vesting, after two years of service. The Division's costs of these plans for
fiscal 1993 and 1994 amounted to $1,201 and $1,272, respectively.
 
  Multi-employer pension plan
 
     The Company contributes to various multi-employer pension plans under
collective bargaining agreements. The Company's share of liabilities for
unfunded benefits associated with these plans is not determinable. The
Division's pension expense for contributions to these plans was approximately
$800 and $876 in fiscal 1993 and 1994, respectively.
 
NOTE 10 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
     At July 1, 1994, the Company had open letters of credit, some of which
secured guarantees to third parties, net of amounts reported as liabilities or
lease commitments (reported in Note 8), aggregating $25,823 available for the
Division and the Company's other operations. Commitment fees to banks associated
with open letters of credit vary from 3/8% to 5/8%.
 
     The Division has various claims and legal proceedings outstanding. In the
opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of outstanding litigation and claims
will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of
operations or cash flows of the Division.

NOTE 11 -- MEDICAL BENEFITS FOR RETIRED EMPLOYEES:
 
     The Company has a post-retirement medical benefit plan that covers certain
employees who had met age and length of service requirements as of December 1,
1987. In fiscal 1993 and 1994, the Division paid medical claims expense of $59
and $24, respectively, for retired employees.
 
     FAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for Post-retirement Benefits Other than
Pensions," would require the Division to begin accruing medical benefits for
retired employees by fiscal 1996. Furthermore, implementation of the standard
would require the recognition of a "transition obligation" (as defined in that
standard) based on the aggregate amount that would have been accrued in prior
years had the new standard been in effect for those years. That standard,
however, permits the Division to recognize the entire "transition obligation" in
the year of adoption or to amortize it over a period of years.
 
     The Division estimates that the transition obligation approximates $482 as
of July 1, 1994. The Division has decided neither the timing nor method of
adoption of FAS 106.
 
NOTE 12 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
 
     On November 10, 1994, the Company signed the Purchase Agreement to sell
substantially all of the assets of the Division to ProSource for approximately
$140,000 and the assumption of the trade payables, subject to certain closing
conditions. The final net value to ProSource will vary depending on various
closing and post-closing adjustments, and retained liabilities.
 
     The Company will retain all assets defined as "Excluded Assets", consisting
principally of cash and cash equivalents, certain insurance deposits, prepaid
items and refundable excise taxes as of the closing date. Liabilities to be
retained by the Company include primarily pre-closing federal and state income
taxes, post-retirement medical and life insurance benefits and other pre-closing
employee benefit obligations, pre-closing product liabilities,
incurred-but-not-reported medical and dental liabilities, workers' compensation
liabilities, vehicle accident liabilities, environmental liabilities and certain
other liabilities as specified in the Purchase Agreement.
 
     The Company intends to enter into a service agreement with ProSource to
cover transition services to be provided by both parties after the closing. The
extent of the services provided and the rates to be charged have not been agreed
upon. Upon the planned service agreement, the Company would provide to ProSource
certain personnel and salary administration, accounting and treasury assistance,
print shop services and record storage space. ProSource would provide the
Company certain office space, computer processing, accounting and recordkeeping
services. Charges for the services to be rendered by the parties would be
determined on various bases including monthly fees, hourly rates and charges per
square foot. The services would be provided for periods up to one year, except
for recordkeeping which would continue for a period of seven years.

the net proceeds of the offering were utilized to prepay, on January 1, 1995 and
January 1, 1996, balances outstanding under various debt instruments.
 
     These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
of ProSource, Inc. The unaudited pro forma data are not necessarily indicative

    note payable to Onex (which Onex intends to convert in connection with the

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
     As authorized by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
Article Eighth of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that directors of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty of
care as a director, except that such provision does not limit or eliminate the
liability of any director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) in
respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or
repurchases or (iv) for any transactions from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. In addition, this provision does not limit directors'
liability under federal securities laws.
 
     Section 145 of the Delaware Law provides, in summary, that directors and
officers of Delaware corporations are entitled, under certain circumstances, to
be indemnified against all expenses and liabilities (including attorney's fees)
incurred by them as a result of suits brought against them in their capacity as
a director or officer, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful; provided, that no
indemnification may be made against expenses in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which they shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company,
unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, they are fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem
proper. Any such indemnification may be made by the Company only as authorized
in each specific case upon a determination by the stockholders or disinterested
directors that indemnification is proper because the indemnitee has met the
applicable standard of conduct. Article 8 of the Company's Restated Certificate
of Incorporation entitles officers and directors of the Company to
indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware
Law, as the same may be supplemented from time to time.
 
     Reference is also made to the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto.

     Reference is also made to Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement contained
in Exhibit 1.1 hereto, which provides certain indemnification rights to the
directors and officers of the Company in connection with the offering.
 
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
     Since June 30, 1993, the Company has not issued or sold any securities not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
except as follows:
 
          (a) During 1993, the Company sold 125,600 shares of Common Stock in
     the aggregate to certain directors, officers and management employees of
     the Company at a purchase price equal to $11.00 per share.
 
          (b) During 1994, the Company sold 6,900 shares of Common Stock in the
     aggregate to certain officers and management employees of the Company at a
     purchase price equal to $11.00 per share.
 
          (c) On November 1, 1994, in connection with the acquisition of certain
     assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of Malone Products, Inc.
     ("Malone") and as partial consideration therefor, the Company issued a
     Subordinated Convertible Note in the principal amount of $0.5 million to
     Malone (the "Malone Subordinated Note"). The Malone Subordinated Note is
     convertible, in whole or in part, at any time into shares of Common Stock
     at a conversion price equal to $20.00 per share, subject to adjustment.
 
          (d) On March 31, 1995, in connection with the acquisition of
     substantially all of the assets and the assumption of certain liabilities
     of the National Accounts Division of The Martin-Brower Company
     ("Martin-Brower") and as partial consideration therefor, the Company
     issued:
 
             (i) a Stock Subscription Warrant to Martin-Brower for the purchase
        of shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.35 per share,
        which was assigned a nominal value for purposes of such transaction;
 
             (ii) a Subordinated Note Due March 31, 2002 in the principal amount
        of $10 million to Martin-Brower;
 
             (iii) a 12% Subordinated Note Due April 1, 2005 in the principal
        amount of $15 million to Onex; and
 
   
             (iv) a Convertible Subordinated Note Due April 1, 2005 in the
        principal amount of $3.5 million to Onex (the "Onex NAD Note"). During
        the year ended December 30, 1995, the Company paid $2.1 million of
        principal and $41,000 of accrued interest under the Onex NAD Note,
        resulting in an outstanding balance of $1.4 million at December 30,
        1995. On February 1, 1996, Onex converted $0.8 million principal amount
        of the Onex NAD Note into 80,000 shares of the Common Stock and the
        remaining balance on such note of approximately $0.6 million plus
        accrued interest of $0.1 million was paid to Onex.
    
 
          (e) In May 1995, the Company completed the sale of 208,500 shares of
     Common Stock in the aggregate to certain directors, officers and management
     employees of the Company at a purchase price equal to $10.00 per share.
 
          (f) In January 1996, the Company completed the sale of 61,500 shares
     of Common Stock in the aggregate to certain officers and management
     employees of the Company at a purchase price equal to $10.00 per share.
 
     The issuances and sales of the securities listed above were exempt from
registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and
Regulation D promulgated thereunder as transactions not involving a public
offering.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
 
     (1) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

          SCHEDULE I -- CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT
                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                               DECEMBER 30, 1995
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
 
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The accompanying condensed financial information should be read in
conjunction with the ProSource, Inc. Consolidated Financial Statements.
Capitalized terms are as defined in the ProSource, Inc. Consolidated Financial
Statements.
 
(2) LONG-TERM DEBT
 
     Total debt of the Registrant (Parent only) consists of two agreements at
December 30, 1995. A $10 million subordinated note is payable to The
Martin-Brower Company. Interest on this note is payable semiannually, with rates
ranging from zero to 13 percent, beginning March 31, 1998. The principal is
payable in full on March 31, 2002. This note has been discounted to reflect a
constant interest rate of 9 percent through its maturity.
 
     A $3.5 million convertible subordinated note was payable to Onex, with
interest at prime rate (8.5 percent at December 30, 1995), compounded annually
and due, together with the principal, on April 1, 2005. During the year ended
December 30, 1995, the Parent paid $2.1 million of such note to Onex resulting
in an outstanding balance of $1.4 million at December 30, 1995. On February 1,
1996, Onex converted $0.8 million of the note into 80,000 shares of the Parent's
common stock and the remaining balance on the note of approximately $0.6 million
plus accrued interest was paid to Onex.
 
     The subsidiaries' Loan and Security Agreements include certain restrictive
covenants which, among other things, limit the flow of funds to the Parent.
Substantially all of the subsidiaries' assets are pledged to secure the
revolving credit facility and term loans, as well as a pledge by the Parent of
all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the subsidiaries. In addition,
the Parent has guaranteed payment of all amounts due under the revolving credit
facility and term loan. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion of the restrictions contained in this loan
agreement.
 
(3) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
     In September 1996, the Parent filed a Registration Statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to an initial public offering.
The net proceeds of the offering will be used to repay certain indebtedness of
the Parent and its subsidiaries.
 
     In October 1996, the Parent changed its capital structure to 10,000,000
authorized shares of $.01 par value preferred stock, 50,000,000 authorized
shares of $0.01 par value Class A Common Stock and 10,000,000 authorized shares
of $.01 par value Class B Common Stock.
 
     On October 1996, the Parent's board of directors declared a 100-to-1 stock
split effective as of the date of the commencement of the initial public
offering. The par value of each share is $.01. The Parent's additional paid-in
capital account and the Class B Common Stock accounts have been restated
retroactively to reflect the stock split.

         A.       Preferred Stock.

                  1. The shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to
time in one or more series of any number of shares, provided that the aggregate
number of shares issued and not canceled of any and all such series shall not
exceed the total number of shares of Preferred Stock hereinabove authorized, and
with such powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or

voting rights or powers, full or limited, or may be without voting rights or
powers; (b) may be subject to redemption at such time or times and at such
prices; (c) may be entitled to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or
non-cumulative) at such rate or rates, on such conditions and at such times, and

Stock may be made dependent upon facts ascertainable outside of the resolution
or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such
Preferred Stock pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors by
this Section 2A of Article Fourth, provided that the manner in which such facts
shall operate upon the voting powers, designations, preferences, rights and
qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such series of Preferred Stock is

<PAGE>   3



                  4. Shares of Preferred Stock of any series that have been
redeemed (whether through the operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) or that
if convertible or exchangeable have been converted into or exchanged for shares
of any other class or classes, shall have the status of authorized and unissued
shares of Preferred Stock undesignated as to series and may be reissued as a
part of the series of which they were originally a part or as part of a new
series of shares of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions
of the Board of Directors or as part of any other series of shares of Preferred
Stock, all subject to any conditions or restrictions on issuance set forth in
the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for

         B.       Common Stock.

                  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2B of Article
Fourth or as otherwise required by applicable law, all shares of Class A Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be identical in all respects and shall
entitle the holders thereof to the same rights and privileges, subject to the
same qualifications, limitations and restrictions.

2B of Article Fourth or as otherwise required by applicable law, holders of
Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote per share on all matters

matters. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the holders of Class A
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall vote together as a single class on
all matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the Corporation; provided,
that for any matter to be voted on by the stockholders which independently
affects only one class of Common Stock, without such an effect on the other
class, the affected class of Common Stock shall vote as a separate class on such
matters.

                  2. Dividends. Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred
Stock, dividends may be declared and paid or set apart for payment upon the

the payment of dividends, and the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock shall be entitled to participate in such dividends ratably on a per
share basis; provided, that if dividends are declared which are payable in
shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, dividends shall be
declared which are payable at the same rate on both classes of Common Stock and

holders of that class of stock and the dividends payable in shares of Class B
Common Stock shall be payable to holders of that class of stock.

undivided profits of at least Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) as a
trust fund for the benefit of the holders of such Preferred Stock, then, the
remaining net assets of the Corporation shall be distributed to the holders of
Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares held by the holders of the
Common Stock, to the exclusion of the holders of such Preferred Stock.

                  4.       Conversion.

                  4A.      Conversion of Class B Common Stock.

                  (a) Upon the occurrence of a Conversion Event, each share of
Class B Common Stock subject to such Conversion Event shall automatically
convert into one share of Class A Common Stock. Upon the occurrence of any
Conversion Event, the holder or holders of Class B Common Stock affected thereby
shall promptly comply with the procedures for conversion of Class B Common Stock
to Class A Common Stock as set forth in subsection 4B of this Article Fourth,
Section 2B.

                  (b) Each holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled at
any time to convert any or all of the shares of such holder's Class B Common
Stock into the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock by electing to do
so in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsection 4B of this Article
Fourth, Section 2B.

                  4B.      Conversion Procedure.

                  (a) In connection with each conversion of shares of Class B
Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, the certificate or
certificates representing the shares to be converted shall be surrendered at the
principal office of the Corporation at any time during normal business hours. In
the case of an elective conversion pursuant to subsection 4A(b) of this Article
Fourth, Section 2B, the surrender of the certificate or certificates
representing such Class B Common Stock shall be accompanied by a written notice
by the holder of such shares stating that the holder desires to convert the
shares, or a stated number of the shares, of such Class B Common Stock
represented by such certificate or certificates into shares of Class A Common
Stock.

                  Each conversion pursuant to a Conversion Event shall be deemed
to have been effected as of the date on which such Conversion Event occurred.
Each elective conversion pursuant to subsection 4A(b) shall be deemed to have
been effected as of the close of business on the date on which such certificate
or certificates have been surrendered and the corresponding notice has been
received. Immediately upon the conversion of Class B Common Stock into Class A
Common Stock, the rights of the holder of the converted Class B Common Stock
with respect to the shares so converted shall cease and the Person or Persons in
whose name or names the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common
Stock are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the
holder or holders of record of the shares of Class A Common Stock represented
thereby.

                  (b) For each conversion effected pursuant to a Conversion
Event, promptly after the surrender of certificates, the Corporation shall issue
and deliver the certificate or certificates for the Class A Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion. For each conversion effected pursuant to an
elective conversion under subsection 4A(b), promptly after the surrender of
certificates and the receipt of written notice, the Corporation shall issue and
deliver in accordance with the surrendering holder's instructions (i) the
certificate or certificates for the Class A Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion and (ii) a certificate representing any Class B Common Stock which
was

                                        5

<PAGE>   6



represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation in
connection with such conversion but which was not converted.

                  (c) The issuance of certificates for Class A Common Stock upon
conversion of Class B Common Stock will be made without charge to the holders of
such shares for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by
the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of
Class A Common Stock.

                  (d) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock,
solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Class B Common
Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of all outstanding Class B Common Stock. All shares of Class A Common
Stock which are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. The
Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all
such shares of Class A Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any
applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic
securities exchange or automatic quotation system upon which shares of Class A
Common Stock may be listed or quoted (except for official notice of issuance
which will be immediately transmitted by the Corporation upon issuance).

                  (e) The Corporation shall not close its books against the
transfer of shares of Common Stock in any manner which would interfere with the
timely conversion of any shares of Class B Common Stock.

                  5. Stock Splits. If the Corporation in any manner subdivides
or combines the outstanding shares of one class of Common Stock, the outstanding
shares of the other class of Common Stock shall be proportionately subdivided or
combined in a similar manner.

                  6. Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In case of any
reorganization or consolidation of the Corporation with one or more other
corporations or a merger of the Corporation with another corporation, each
holder of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive with
respect to such share the same kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such reorganization,
consolidation or merger by a holder of a share of Class B Common Stock and each
holder of a share of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive with
respect to such share the same kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such reorganization,
consolidation or merger by a holder of a share of Class A Common Stock.

         C.       General Provisions

                  1. Nonliquidating Events. A consolidation or merger of the
Corporation with or into another corporation or corporations or a sale, whether
for cash, shares of stock, securities or properties, or any combination thereof,
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation shall


                                        6

<PAGE>   7



not be deemed or construed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation within the meaning of this Article Fourth.

                  2. No Preemptive Rights. No holder of Preferred Stock or
Common Stock of the Corporation shall be entitled, as such, as a matter of
right, to subscribe for or purchase any part of any new or additional issue of
stock of any class or series whatsoever or of securities convertible into stock
of any class whatsoever, whether now or hereafter authorized and whether issued
for cash or other consideration, or by way of dividend.

officer of the Corporation and the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
person.

                  EIGHTH: No director shall be personally liable to the
Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director for any act or omission occurring subsequent to the date when
this provision becomes effective, except that he may be liable (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the GCL or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.

                  NINTH: The Corporation elects not to be governed by Section
203 of the GCL.

                  TENTH: No action required or permitted to be taken at any
meeting of stockholders may be taken by written consent without a meeting.

                  ELEVENTH: Special meetings of the stockholders may be called
by resolution of the Board of Directors and shall be called by the chairman of
the board, chief executive officer or secretary upon the written request
(stating the purpose or purposes of the meeting) of a majority of directors then

                                 PROSOURCE, INC.

1.       MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS.

                  1.1 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders shall
be held on or prior to the first Thursday in May of each year, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, and shall be held at a place and time determined by
the board of directors (the "Board").

                  1.2 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may
be called by resolution of the Board and shall be called by the chairman of the
board, chief executive officer or secretary upon the written request (stating
the purpose or purposes of the meeting) of a majority of the directors then in
office. Only business related to the purposes set forth in the notice of the
meeting may be transacted at a special meeting.

                  1.3 Place and Time of Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders
may be held in or outside Delaware at the place and time specified by the Board
or the directors or stockholders requesting the meeting.

                  1.4 Notice of Meetings; Waiver of Notice. Written notice of
each meeting of stockholders shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote
at the meeting, except that (a) it shall not be necessary to give notice to any
stockholder who submits a signed waiver of notice before or after the meeting,
and (b) no notice of an adjourned meeting need be given except when required
under Section 1.5 of these by-laws or by law. Each notice of a meeting shall be
given, personally or by mail, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the
meeting and shall state the time and place of the meeting, and unless it is the
annual meeting, shall state at whose direction or request the meeting is called
and the purposes for which it is called. If mailed, notice shall be considered
given when mailed to a stockholder at his address on the corporation's records.
The attendance of any stockholder at a meeting, without protesting at the
beginning of the meeting that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened,
shall constitute a waiver of notice by him.

                  1.5 Quorum. At any meeting of stockholders, the presence in
person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business
except as otherwise provided by law or by the certificate of incorporation, as
amended from time to time (the "Certificate of Incorporation") of the
corporation. When a specified item of business requires a vote by a class or
series (if the
<PAGE>   2
corporation shall then have outstanding shares of more than one class or series)
voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such
class or series shall constitute a quorum (as to such class or series) for the
transaction of such item of business. In the absence of a quorum a majority in
voting interest of those present or, if no stockholders are present, any officer
entitled to preside at or to act as secretary of the meeting, may adjourn the
meeting until a quorum is present. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is
present any action may be taken which might have been taken at the meeting as
originally called. No notice of an adjourned meeting need be given if the time
and place are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken except
that, if adjournment is for more than thirty days or if, after the adjournment,
a new record date is fixed for the meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting
shall be given pursuant to Section 1.4.

                  1.6 Voting; Proxies. Except as otherwise provided by law or by
the Certificate of Incorporation and subject to Section 5.3 hereof, every
stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one (1)
vote in person or by proxy for each share of the corporation's Class A Common
Stock, par value $0.01 per share, held by such stockholder. Except as otherwise
provided by the law or by the Certificate of Incorporation and subject to
Section 5.3, every stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be
entitled to ten (10) votes in person or by proxy for each share of the
corporation's Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, held by such
stockholder. Corporate action to be taken by stockholder vote, other than the
election of directors, shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast at a
meeting of stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law or by Section 1.8
of these by-laws. Directors shall be elected in the manner provided in Section 
2.1 of these by-laws. Voting need not be by ballot unless requested by a
stockholder at the meeting or ordered by the chairman of the meeting; however,
all elections of directors shall be by written ballot, unless otherwise provided
in the Certificate of Incorporation. Each stockholder entitled to vote at any
meeting of stockholders or to express consent to or dissent from corporate
action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person to act for him
by proxy. Every proxy must be signed by the stockholder or his attorney-in-fact.
No proxy shall be valid after three years from its date unless it provides
otherwise.

                  1.7 List of Stockholders. Not less than 10 days prior to the
date of any meeting of stockholders, the secretary of the corporation shall
prepare a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting,
arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and
the number of shares registered in his name. For a period of not less than 10
days prior to the meeting, the list shall be available during ordinary business
hours for inspection by any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting.
During this period, the list shall be kept either (a) at a place within the city
where the meeting is to be held, if that place shall have been specified in the
notice of the meeting, or (b) if not so specified, at the place where the
meeting is to be held. The list shall also be available for inspection by
stockholders at the time and place of the meeting.

consent without a meeting.

2.       BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

                  2.1 Number, Qualification, Election and Term of Directors. The
business of the corporation shall be managed by the Board, which shall consist

authorized by the vote of a majority of the directors present at the time of the
vote if there is a quorum, unless otherwise provided by law or these by-laws. In
the absence of a quorum a majority of the directors present may adjourn any
meeting from time to time until a quorum is present.

outside Delaware.

                  2.4 Annual and Regular Meetings. Annual meetings of the Board,

either (a) without notice immediately after the annual meeting of stockholders
and at the same place or (b) as soon as practicable after the annual meeting of
stockholders, on notice as provided in Section 2.6 of these by-laws. Regular
meetings of the Board may be held without notice at such times and places as the
Board determines. If the day fixed for a regular meeting is a legal holiday, the
meeting shall be held on the next business day.

                  2.5 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board may be

held immediately after the annual meeting of stockholders and at the same place,
shall be given to each director by mailing it to him at his residence or usual
place of business at least three days before the meeting, or by delivering or

ProSource, Inc.
550 Biltmore Way
Coral Gables, Florida  33134

Gentlemen:

                  We have acted as counsel to ProSource, Inc. (the "Company"),
in connection with its registration statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration
Statement") filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (File no.
333-11499), relating to the proposed offering of up to 3,400,000 shares of its
Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Shares") to be offered to
the public (including 510,000 shares which may be so offered pursuant to an
over-allotment option granted to the underwriters).

                  In that connection, we have reviewed the certificate of
incorporation, its by-laws, resolutions adopted by its Board of Directors, the
Registration Statement, and such other documents and proceedings as we have
deemed appropriate.

                  On the basis of such review, and having regard to legal
considerations that we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that, when issued in
accordance with the terms set forth in the Registration Statement, the Shares to
be offered by the Company have been duly authorized and will be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

                  We hereby consent to the use of our name under the caption
"Legal Matters" in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement and to
the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In
giving this opinion, we do not hereby admit that we are within the category of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the Rules and
Regulations of the Commission.

                                                    Very truly yours,


                                                     /s/ Kaye, Scholer, Fierman,

                          FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED
                        MANAGEMENT SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT


                  THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT SHAREHOLDERS
AGREEMENT dated as of November __, 1996 amends and restates in its entirety the
Amended and Restated Management Shareholders Agreement dated May 31, 1995, as
amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of December 8, 1995 (as so amended,
the "Original Agreement"), among ProSource, Inc., formerly known as Onex
Distribution, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), Onex DHC LLC, a
Wyoming limited liability company ("Onex"), as successor-in-interest (with
respect to the shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation) to Onex U.S.
Investments, Inc., and the individuals named from time to time on Schedule I to
this Agreement (each a "Management Holder" and collectively the "Management
Holders").

                                    RECITALS

                  A. The parties desire to amend and restate the Original
Agreement in contemplation of the proposed initial public offering (the
"Offering") of shares of the Corporation's Class A Common Stock (as hereinafter
defined).

                  B. Prior to commencement of the Offering, (i) the Corporation
intends to file a restated certificate of incorporation (the "Restated
Certificate of Incorporation"), providing for, among other things, two classes
of authorized common stock, Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
("Class A Common Stock"), and Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
("Class B Common Stock"), and (ii) all of the Corporation's outstanding shares
of common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), will be converted
into shares of Class B Common Stock.

                  C. The powers, preferences, rights, limitations and
restrictions of the Class B Common Stock, including certain provisions with
respect to transfer thereof and conversion into shares of Class A Common Stock,
are set forth in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

                  D. Each of the Management Holders is an employee of the
Corporation or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Corporation (each a
"Subsidiary", collectively, the "Subsidiaries") and purchased shares of Common
Stock from the Corporation prior to the date of this Agreement. As used herein,
the term "Shares" shall mean such shares of Common Stock, the shares of Class B
Common Stock issued or to be issued upon conversion of Common Stock, and any
shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of Class B Common Stock.

                  The parties hereby agree as follows:







<PAGE>   2



1.       RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES

         1.1 REPRESENTATION. Each of the Management Holders represents and
agrees that the Management Shares owned by him were acquired for his own account
and will not be transferred in violation of this Agreement, the securities laws
of the United States, or any other applicable law.

         1.2 RESTRICTIONS. A Management Holder may transfer Management Shares as
a whole or in part only if such transfer is permitted by and made in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. Any purported transfer in any manner contrary
to the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "transfer" shall mean any sale, exchange, assignment, gift,
bequest, pledge, creation of a lien or security interest or other disposition or
encumbrance of any kind, whether voluntary or involuntary or by operation of
law, affecting title to or possession of the Management Shares. The Corporation
may refuse to register any transfer of Shares that would violate this Agreement,
the securities laws of the United States, or any other applicable law, and may,
as a condition to registration of such transfer, require the transferor to
furnish to the Corporation an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Corporation as to compliance with the foregoing.

         1.3 PLEDGE OF SHARES AS SECURITY. Each of the Management Holders may
finance up to 66 2/3% of the purchase price of such Holder's Shares and may
pledge such Shares to the lender to secure the financing or to any affiliate of
the Corporation that guarantees repayment of any loan made to finance the
purchase of Shares if the lender or guarantor agrees in writing to be bound by
this Agreement.

         1.4 SALES FREE OF ENCUMBRANCES. Upon the transfer of Management Shares
pursuant to this Agreement, the Management Holder shall discharge any
indebtedness permitted by Section 1.3 and deliver to the purchaser the share
certificates representing such Management Shares free and clear of any pledge,
lien, security interest or other encumbrance of any kind. If the Management
Holder fails to comply with the preceding sentence, the purchaser may withhold
from the purchase price an amount equal to the indebtedness secured by any such
pledge, lien, security interest or other encumbrance or, if the amount of such
indebtedness is not known by the purchaser, an amount equal to the purchaser's
good faith estimate thereof (no limitation of any other remedy available to the
purchaser being intended) and apply such withheld amount to extinguish such
debt. Any such payment of such withheld amount shall discharge the purchaser's
obligation to make payment for the purchased shares to the extent of such
withheld amount. If a selling Management Holder fails to deliver certificates
representing Management Shares being sold as required at the closing of such
sale, the purchaser may deposit the purchase price therefor with the Corporation
and, upon such deposit, those certificates shall be deemed cancelled and of no
effect (no limitation of any other remedy available to the purchaser being
intended).

<PAGE>   3



2.       SALE OR TRANSFER OF MANAGEMENT SHARES

         2.1 TRANSFER TO MANAGEMENT HOLDER'S FAMILY. A Management Holder may
transfer Management Shares to his parents, siblings, spouse, or issue or to a
trust or custodianship for the exclusive benefit of himself or any of them (each
a "Family Group Member"); provided that any such transferee agrees in writing to
be bound by the provisions of this Agreement that bind the transferor Management
Holder.

         2.2 SALE TO MANAGEMENT HOLDERS OR OTHER MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES. A
Management Holder may transfer Management Shares to either another Management
Holder or to a management employee of the Corporation or a Subsidiary who is
acceptable to the Board of Directors of the Corporation if (a) due to hardship
or unusual circumstances, such Management Holder determines that it is in his
best interest to effect a transfer of his Management Shares and (b) the
Corporation's Board of Directors approves the same. A Management Holder who
desires to transfer Management Shares in accordance with this Section 2.2 shall
give the Corporation notice thereof ("Notice"), attaching thereto a copy of a
bona fide written offer to purchase such Shares for cash ("Offer"). The
Corporation or a subsidiary designated by it shall have the option, exercisable
by notice to the Management Holder given within 30 days after the date of
receipt of the Notice by the Corporation, to purchase all or any portion of the
Management Shares proposed to be sold pursuant to the Offer for the same price
per share and on the same terms as the Offer. If the Corporation or its designee
does not exercise such option within such 30-day period and the Board of
Directors of the Corporation consents to the proposed sale, the Management
Holder shall have the right at any time within 60 days after the expiration of
the 30-day option period provided for in this Section, to sell the Management
Shares as to which the option was not exercised to the proposed offeree in
accordance with the terms of the Offer; any transferee shall, by its purchase of
such Shares and acceptance of the certificates therefor be deemed to agree to,
and shall agree in writing to be bound by, the provisions of this Agreement. If
the Management Shares as to which the option was not exercised remain unsold at
the end of such 60-day period, such Management Shares may not thereafter be
transferred unless the Management Holder complies with this Section 2.2 again.

         2.3 SALE: CORPORATION IS A PUBLIC COMPANY. Notwithstanding Section 2.2,
if the Corporation is a Public Company, a Management Holder may sell during any
90-day period up to the greater of (a) five Shares (subject to adjustment to
reflect the effect of stock splits, combinations and the like effected after the
date of the Original Agreement) and (b) 5% of the sum of (i) the Management
Holder's Shares then held by him and (ii) the Management Holder's Shares
previously sold by him pursuant to this Section 2.3, except that no such sales
shall be made within 180 days after any offering of securities registered under
the 1933 Act that involves shares of the same class as Management Shares. Any
such sale or sales shall be through the facilities of any securities exchange on
which the Management Shares may then be listed and shall be made in a manner
that complies with applicable securities law and regulations. Such sales may not
be made, however, unless the Management Holder gives the Corporation written
notice of its intention to sell not less than five and not more than ten
business days before effecting any sale ("Market Sale Notice") and offers to
sell to it all or any part of that number of Management Shares (no partial
purchase that


                                        3

<PAGE>   4



would result in the remaining Shares offered to be sold constituting an odd lot
shall be permitted) that it proposes to sell, at a price equal to the Market
Price Per Share (as defined in Section 11.4). The Corporation (or, at the
Corporation's option, a subsidiary of the Corporation) may accept such offer by
giving notice to the Management Holder within seven days after receipt of such
Market Sale Notice by the Corporation, which notice shall designate the number
of Management Shares to be purchased. The Management Holder shall thereupon be
bound to sell such Management Shares to the Corporation or a subsidiary of the
Corporation, as the case may be, and the Corporation or a subsidiary of the
Corporation, as the case may be, shall be obligated to buy such Management
Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Management Holder shall sell more than
50% of the sum of (x) the Management Holder's Shares then held by him and (y)
the Management Holder's Shares previously sold by him pursuant to this Section
2.3 without the prior approval of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

         2.4 SALE UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT; CORPORATION IS NOT A PUBLIC
COMPANY. If a Management Holder ceases to be employed in a full-time capacity by
the Corporation or a Subsidiary at any time when the Corporation is not a Public
Company, the Management Shares owned by such Management Holder shall be
transferred as follows:

                  (a) Upon termination without cause or as a result of death,
retirement, or Disability, the Corporation shall purchase, and the Management
Holder shall sell, all of the Management Shares owned by such Management Holder
for a purchase price equal to Book Value Per Share multiplied by the number of
Management Shares owned by such Management Holder (the "Initial Section 2.4(a)
Payment"). However, if the Management Holder's employment is terminated by the
Corporation or a Subsidiary (i) other than for cause and (ii) as a result of the
planned restructuring or consolidation of the Corporation and its subsidiaries
and the Corporation has achieved its plan objectives through the date of
termination, the Initial Section 2.4(a) Payment shall equal the greater of
$1,000 per share or the then current Book Value Per Share. If the Corporation
effects any offering of securities registered under the 1933 Act that involves
an offering of shares of the same class as Management Shares within four months
after the termination of the Management Holder's employment, the purchase price
per Share shall be increased by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
public offering price per Share (after deduction of any applicable underwriter's
commissions or discounts) over the Book Value Per Share used in calculating the
original purchase price, less interest at the Prime Rate on the portion of the
purchase price previously paid in cash (the "Additional Section 2.4(a)
Payment"). Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.4(c), the Initial
Section 2.4(a) Payments shall be paid in cash at the closing of the purchase and
sale and Additional Section 2.4(a) Payments shall be paid in cash within 60 days
of the closing of the registered offering.

                  (b) Upon termination for any reason not described in Section
2.4(a) (including without limitation, termination for cause or voluntary
termination by the Management Holder), the Corporation shall purchase, and the
Management Holder shall sell, all of the Management Shares owned by such
Management Holder for a purchase price equal to 90% of Book Value Per Share
multiplied by the number of Management Shares owned by such Management Holder.
Subject to


                                        4

<PAGE>   5



the limitations set forth in Section 2.4(c), 50% of the purchase price for
Management Shares purchased pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be paid in
cash (or, if greater, the amount required to pay both the outstanding balance of
any financing pursuant to Section 1.3 and the amount of any federal income tax
owed by the Management Holder for the year in which the sale occurs in respect
of the portion of the gain recognized by such Management Holder with respect to
the sale during such year) at the closing of the purchase and sale (the "Initial
Section 2.4(b) Payment") and the balance of the purchase price shall be paid in
approximately equal quarterly installments over the two-year period following
the sale, the last payment to be paid on the second anniversary of the sale (the
"Additional Section 2.4(b) Payment"). Interest on any unpaid portion of the
Additional Section 2.4(b) Payment shall be paid quarterly from the closing at
Prime Rate. The payment of Initial Section 2.4(b) Payments and the Additional
Section 2.4(b) Payments is subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2.4(c).

                  (c) The amount of the purchase price payable by the
Corporation to any Management Holder pursuant to Section 2.4(a) and (b) shall be
reduced by any amount paid by the Corporation or any affiliate of the
Corporation to NCNB National Bank (or any successor bank) to discharge the
principal portion of any indebtedness incurred by such Management Shareholder to
purchase the Management Shares. If, as a result of restrictions in its loan
agreement with NationsBank of Georgia, N.A., ProSource Services Corporation
("PSC"), formerly known as BDKA Corporation, is unable to pay sufficient
dividends to the Corporation to enable the Corporation to pay the amount of the
purchase price required to be paid by it in cash either at the closing of the
sale or at any time thereafter in accordance with the terms set forth in
Sections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b) and to cash-out Options pursuant to Section 6.4 of
the Option Plans, the Corporation shall be entitled to pay any unpaid portion of
the payments required to be made under Sections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b) and under
Section 6.4 of the Option Plans, together with interest thereon at the Prime
Rate, at such time as it has received from PSC sufficient dividends to enable it
to do so. The Corporation shall use available funds received from PSC first to
pay all amounts due on account of any Initial Section 2.4(a) Payments and
Initial Section 2.4(b) Payments, then to pay all amounts due on account of
Additional Section 2.4(a) Payments and Additional Section 2.4(b) Payments, and
then to pay all amounts due on account of the cash-out of Options pursuant to
Section 6.4 of the Option Plans.

         2.5 SALE UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT: CORPORATION IS A PUBLIC
COMPANY.

                  (a) If a Management Holder ceases to be employed in a
full-time capacity by the Corporation or a Subsidiary when the Corporation is a
Public Company, Onex or its designee shall have the option to purchase all or
any portion of the Management Shares owned by such Management Holder. The
purchase price for such Management Shares shall be equal to the number of such
Shares to be purchased multiplied by Market Price Per Share and shall be paid in
cash at the closing of the sale.

                  (b) If Onex or its designee does not exercise such option
within 30 days from the date of the termination of the Management Holder's
employment, the Management Holder shall be entitled to sell his Management
Shares through the facilities of any securities exchange on which the


                                        5

<PAGE>   6



Shares may then be listed in a manner that complies with applicable securities
laws and regulations; provided that the Management Holder shall not sell during
the year following the termination of the Management Holder's employment in the
aggregate more than 50% of the Management Shares owned by such Management Holder
and his Family Group Members unless such termination arises from (i) his death
or Disability, in which case the foregoing restriction shall not apply or (ii)
his retirement, in which case the Management Holder may sell during the year
following the termination of the Management Holder's employment in the aggregate
up to 66-2/3% of the Management Shares owned by such Management Holder and his
Family Group Members.

                  (c) The parties acknowledge that, pursuant to paragraph 4 of
Article Fourth, Section 2B of the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, Class B Common Stock automatically converts in accordance with
such paragraph of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation into Class A Common
Stock upon termination of the Management Holder's employment, unless transferred
to Onex (or an affiliate thereof) or another Management Holder.

         2.6 SALE UPON DEFAULT ON INDEBTEDNESS. If a Management Holder defaults
on any indebtedness referred to in Section 1.3, the Corporation shall have the
option, exercisable upon notice to the Management Holder at any time following a
default, to purchase all or any portion of the Management Shares with respect to
which such debt was incurred at a purchase price equal to (i) 85% of Book Value
Per Share, if the Corporation is not a Public Company at the time of the closing
of the purchase or (ii) 85% of Market Price Per Share, if the Corporation is a
Public Company at the time of the closing of the purchase.

         2.7 CLOSING OF SALE. The closing of any purchase and sale of Management
Shares pursuant to the exercise of a right under this Section 2 (other than
transfers or sales made pursuant to Sections 2.1 or 2.2 or through the
facilities of any securities exchange pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 5) shall be
held at the principal offices of the Corporation on a date designated by the
purchaser but in any event not later than the last day upon which a purchase is
permitted or required to be made. At the closing, the Management Holder selling
Shares shall deliver to the purchaser the stock certificates and other
instruments representing such Shares, together with stock powers and other
instruments transferring such Shares, duly endorsed for transfer and free and
clear of all claims, liens, encumbrances and security interests, and the
purchaser shall deliver to the Management Holder the consideration payable upon
closing.

3.       OPTIONS TO PURCHASE SHARES

         3.1 Shares received by a Management Holder upon the exercise or
conversion of any options, warrants, rights to purchase shares or securities

4.       SALE OF SHARES BY ONEX AND THE CORPORATION

         4.1 TAG ALONG. (a) If at any time any member of the Onex Group proposes
to sell any Shares except for (i) sales to another member of the Onex Group that
becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement (an "Onex Group Member"), (ii)
sales to a Management Holder or other management employee or directors of the
Corporation or a Subsidiary, (iii) sales of the 500 Shares purchased by Onex on
June 30, 1992 for later disposition to persons providing services to the
Corporation or any of the Corporation's subsidiaries (the "500 Shares"), (iv)
sales effected on a national securities exchange in the regular way or in the
over-the-counter market, or (v) pursuant to an offering of securities registered
under the 1933 Act (a "Tag Along Disposition"), each of the Management Holders
shall have the right to sell to the proposed purchaser a number of his Manage-
ment Shares equal to the total number of his Management Shares multiplied by a
ratio, the numerator of which is the number of Shares to be sold by the Onex
Group Member to the proposed purchaser and the denominator of which is the total
number of Shares then owned by the Onex Group. Such ratio is referred to herein
as the "Share Ratio." A sale of Management Shares pursuant to this Section shall
be made at the same price, upon the same terms, and at the same time as the sale
by the Onex Group Member of its Shares.

         (b) The Onex Group Member shall give notice (the "Tag Along Notice") to
each Management Holder of the proposed Tag Along Disposition at least 20 days
prior to the same. The Tag Along Notice shall be in writing and shall describe
the terms of the Tag Along Disposition in reasonable detail, the identity of the
proposed purchaser, the proposed date of sale, the purchase price per Share, and
the Share Ratio and shall state that (i) the Management Holder has the option to
sell to the proposed purchaser a number of Management Shares equal to the total
number of Management Shares then owned by such Holder multiplied by the Share
Ratio, (ii) the sale, if made, shall be made at the same price per share, upon
the same terms, and at the same time as the sale by the Onex Group Member of its
Shares to the proposed purchaser, and (iii) the sale by Management Holders will
be conditioned upon a sale of Shares by the Onex Group Member pursuant to this
Section.

         (c) A Management Holder may exercise its sale option pursuant to
Section 4.1 by delivering to the Onex Group Member, within ten days after such
Management Holder receives the Tag Along Notice, written notice of his offer to
sell Management Shares pursuant to this Section and indicating the number of
Management Shares offered for sale. If a Management Holder gives notice of his
election to sell, he shall be obligated to do so, but the sale and his
obligation to sell shall be conditioned upon the closing of the Tag Along
Disposition. If the purchaser specifies a limited number of Shares that it is
willing to purchase in the aggregate, each Management Holder and the Onex Group
Member shall have the right to sell its or his proportion of the number of
Shares that the purchaser is purchasing, i.e., the proportion that the number of
Shares owned by such Person bears to the aggregate number of Shares owned by the
shareholders who are selling Shares. If any Person does not elect to sell the
full number of Shares that he or it is entitled to sell, the balance shall be
available, in accordance with such procedures as the Onex Group Member may
designate, to the shareholder that has elected to sell the maximum number of
Shares initially available to it or him for


                                        7

<PAGE>   8



such purpose. For purposes of this Section 4.1, the number of Shares owned by
any Onex Group Member shall not be deemed to include any portion of the 500
Shares then owned by any Onex Group Member.

         (d) If a transferee of Onex Shares pursuant to this Section 4.1
acquires such Shares free of this Agreement, then such transferee shall also
take the Management Shares being sold by a Management Holder free of this
Agreement. If, however, any Onex Group Member is required to transfer any Onex
Shares subject to this Agreement, then the Management Holder shall also transfer
his Management Shares subject to this Agreement.

         4.2 DRAG ALONG. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any
Onex Group Member proposes to sell any Shares to any Person, except for (i)
sales of the 500 Shares, (ii) sales effected on a national securities exchange
in the regular way or in the over-the-counter market, and (iii) sales to any
other Onex Group Member (a "Drag Along Disposition"), it may, upon giving notice
to each Management Holder at least 20 days prior to the Drag Along Disposition
(the "Drag Along Notice") require the Management Holders to sell a number of
Management Shares equal to the total number of Management Shares then owned by
such Holder multiplied by the Share Ratio. The Drag Along Notice shall be in
writing and shall contain the same information as is required to be set forth in
the Tag Along Notice. A sale of Management Shares pursuant to this Section shall
be made at the same price, upon the same terms, and at the same time as the sale
by the Onex Group Member of its Shares pursuant to this Section. Any transferee
of Shares owned by any Onex Group Member or of the Management Holders pursuant
to this Section 4.2 shall acquire such Shares free of this Agreement, unless the
agreement between the Onex Group Member and such transferee provides otherwise.

         4.3 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES ON A DISPOSITION. In connection with
any transfer described in this Section 4 in which Management Shares are to be
sold by a Management Holder, Onex and the selling Onex Group Member may require
the Management Holder to enter into agreements with the purchaser representing
and warranting that, except as specifically disclosed to the purchaser in
writing, such Management Holder at the time of the closing of such transfer,
does not have actual knowledge that any representation or warranty made by the
Corporation or any other shareholder in connection with the disposition was
untrue in any material respect when made or is untrue in any material respect as
of the closing; the liability of the selling Management Holder under such
representation and warranty shall be limited to the amount which he receives
from the sale of his Management Shares in connection with such transfer and
shall be pro rata in accordance with the number of Shares sold by the Management
Holder in relation to the Shares being sold by all holders.

         4.4 PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS. If, prior to the time when the Corporation
becomes a Public Company, the Corporation intends to sell shares of its capital
stock or options, warrants, rights to purchase, or securities convertible into,
or exchangeable for, shares of its capital stock to any member of the Onex Group
for cash, the Corporation shall give notice thereof (the "Sale Notice") to each
of the Management Holders. The Sale Notice shall be in writing, shall describe
the securities to be offered, the price of such securities, and other terms of
the offer in reasonable detail. Each


                                        8

<PAGE>   9



Management Holder shall have the right, subject to applicable law and
exercisable by notice to the Corporation within 45 days after his receipt of the
Sale Notice, to purchase his Pro Rata Share (as defined in this Section 4.4) of
the securities offered for the same price per unit and on the same terms as the
securities are offered to Onex and as are described in the Sale Notice. As used
in this Section 4.4, the term "Pro Rata Share" shall mean the product of (x) the
total number of securities referred to in the Sale Notice as proposed to be sold
to members of the Onex Group and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of Management Shares of all classes held by the Management Holder on the
date the Sale Notice is given and the denominator of which is the sum of the
number of Shares of all classes of the Corporation's stock of the same class or
classes as Management Shares outstanding on such date (including the Management
Shares). Any securities acquired by a Management Holder pursuant to this Section
4.4 shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this
Section 4.4 shall not apply to the issuance of securities, with or without
consideration, to officers and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries
or plans for the benefit of such employees, by the Corporation from time to time
and shall not require the Corporation to offer securities under circumstances
that could require registration under the 1933 Act.

5.       PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS

         5.1 If the Corporation proposes to effect a registration under the 1933
Act involving an offering of securities of the same class as the Management
Shares, it shall give written notice of its intention to do so (the "Public
Offering Notice") to each Management Holder.

         5.2 Upon the written request of a Management Holder (the "Management
Holder's Request") delivered to the Corporation within ten days after such
Holder's receipt of the Public Offering Notice, the Corporation shall use its
best efforts to cause the registration under the 1933 Act of the number of
Management Shares stated in the Management Holder's Request for disposition in
accordance with the intended method of disposition as stated in the Management
Holder's Request; provided, that:

                  (a) if, the number of Management Shares stated in the
Management Holder's request represents a greater proportion of the total number
of Management Shares owned by such Management Holder than the number of Shares
proposed to be sold and distributed by the Onex Group pursuant to the public
offering bears to the total number of Shares owned by the Onex Group, the
Corporation shall not be obligated to effect the registration of such excess
number of Management Shares;

                  (b) if, at any time after giving such written notice of its
intention to register any of its securities and prior to the effective date of
the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the
Corporation determines for any reason not to effect such registration or to
delay such registration, it may, at its election, give written notice of such
determination to each Management Holder and thereupon the Corporation (i) in the
case of a determination not to effect registration, shall be relieved of its
obligation to register any Management Shares in connection with


                                        9

<PAGE>   10



such registration or (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registration,
shall be entitled to delay the registration of the Management Shares for the
same period as the delay in the registration of its securities;

                  (c) if (i) the registration involves an underwritten offering
of the securities being registered (in which case the Management Holder shall be
required to make its offering through the underwriters selected by the
Corporation and to sign the same underwriting agreement), whether or not for
sale for the account of the Corporation and (ii) the managing underwriter of
such underwritten offering advises the Corporation that the number of Shares
that members of the Onex Group and the Management Holders wish to sell exceeds
the number thereof that, in the sole discretion of the underwriter, is the
maximum number thereof that may be included in the offering without adversely
affecting the offering, then the Corporation shall not be required to include in
the offering the excess number of Shares requested to be sold by the members of
the Onex Group and each Management Holder above such maximum number (the Shares
so included to be apportioned pro rata among the members of the Onex Group and
each Management Holder so that each member of the Onex Group and each Management
Holder shall be entitled to have included in the offering a number of Shares
that is proportionate to his or its respective ownership of Shares; if any
member of the Onex Group or any Management Holder is entitled to have included
in the offering more Shares than he wishes to sell, each remaining Management
Holder and members of the Onex Group shall be entitled to make up the difference
pro rata from its or his respective ownership of Shares); and

                  (d) the Corporation shall not be obligated to effect any
registration of Management Holder's Shares under this Section 5 incidental to
the registration of any of its securities in connection with mergers,
acquisitions, exchange offers, dividend reinvestment plans or stock options or
other employee benefit plans or incidental to the registration of any nonequity
securities not convertible into equity securities.

         5.3 Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law or regulations,
the Corporation shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with the
registration of Management Holder's Shares pursuant to this Section 5, including
all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, blue sky fees and expenses
and accountant expenses to the extent permitted by law, but not including
commissions and expenses payable to underwriters in respect of Management Shares
and the fees of any counsel or other advisers retained by Management Holders.

6.       LEGEND

         All certificates representing Management Shares held by any Management
Holder (and held by a transferee of Management Shares, except (i) as set forth

respect to a transferee pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.5 or pursuant to a
registration statement in accordance with Section 5) shall bear the following

                  and the holder hereof, among others, and no transfer of such
                  shares shall be valid or effective until such conditions have
                  been fulfilled with respect to such transfer. A copy of such
                  Agreement will be furnished by the Corporation to the holder

                          FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED
                         DIRECTOR SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT


                  THIS DIRECTOR SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT dated as of November __,
1996 amends and restates in its entirety the Director Shareholders Agreement
dated as of May 31, 1995 (the "Original Agreement"), among ProSource, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), Onex DHC LLC, a Wyoming limited
liability company ("Onex"), and the individuals named from time to time on
Schedule I to this Agreement (each a "Director Holder" and collectively the
"Director Holders").

                                    RECITALS

                  A. The parties desire to amend and restate the Original
Agreement in contemplation of the proposed initial public offering (the
"Offering") of shares of the Corporation's Class A Common Stock (as hereinafter
defined).

                  B. Prior to commencement of the Offering, (i) the Corporation
intends to file a restated certificate of incorporation (the "Restated
Certificate of Incorporation"), providing for, among other things, two classes
of authorized common stock, Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
("Class A Common Stock"), and Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
("Class B Common Stock"), and (ii) all of the Corporation's outstanding shares
of common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), will be converted
into shares of Class B Common Stock.

                  C. The powers, preferences, rights, limitations and
restrictions of the Class B Common Stock, including certain provisions with
respect to transfer thereof and conversion into shares of Class A Common Stock,
are set forth in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

                  D. Each of the Director Holders is a member of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation and purchased shares of Common Stock from the
Corporation prior to the date of this Agreement. As used herein, the term
"Shares" shall mean such shares of Common Stock, the shares of Class B Common
Stock issued or to be issued upon conversion of Common Stock, and any shares of
Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of Class B Common Stock.

                  The parties hereby agree as follows:


                                        1
<PAGE>   2
1.       RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES

         1.1 REPRESENTATION. Each of the Director Holders represents and agrees
that the Director Shares owned by him were acquired for his own account and will
not be transferred in violation of this Agreement, the securities laws of the
United States, or any other applicable law.

         1.2 RESTRICTIONS. A Director Holder may transfer Director Shares as a
whole or in part only if such transfer is permitted by and made in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. Any purported transfer in any manner contrary
to the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "transfer" shall mean any sale, exchange, assignment, gift,
bequest, pledge, creation of a lien or security interest or other disposition or
encumbrance of any kind, whether voluntary or involuntary or by operation of
law, affecting title to or possession of the Director Shares. The Corporation
may refuse to register any transfer of Shares that would violate this Agreement,
the securities laws of the United States, or any other applicable law, and may,
as a condition to registration of such transfer, require the transferor to
furnish to the Corporation an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Corporation as to compliance with the foregoing.

         1.3 PLEDGE OF SHARES AS SECURITY. Each of the Director Holders may
finance up to 66 2/3% of the purchase price of such Director Holder's Shares and
may pledge such Shares to the lender to secure the financing or to any affiliate
of the Corporation that guarantees repayment of any loan made to finance the
purchase of Shares if the lender or guarantor agrees in writing to be bound by
this Agreement.

         1.4 SALES FREE OF ENCUMBRANCES. Upon the transfer of Director Shares
pursuant to this Agreement, the Director Holder shall discharge any indebtedness
permitted by Section 1.3 and deliver to the purchaser the share certificates
representing such Director Shares free and clear of any pledge, lien, security
interest or other encumbrance of any kind. If the Director Holder fails to
comply with the preceding sentence, the purchaser may withhold from the purchase
price an amount equal to the indebtedness secured by any such pledge, lien,
security interest or other encumbrance or, if the amount of such indebtedness is
not known by the purchaser, an amount equal to the purchaser's good faith
estimate thereof (no limitation of any other remedy available to the purchaser
being intended) and apply such withheld amount to extinguish such debt. Any such
payment of such withheld amount shall discharge the purchaser's obligation to
make payment for the purchased shares to the extent of such withheld amount. If
a selling Director Holder fails to deliver certificates representing Director
Shares being sold as required at the closing of such sale, the purchaser may
deposit the purchase price therefor with the Corporation and, upon such deposit,
those certificates shall be deemed canceled and of no effect (no limitation of
any other remedy available to the purchaser being intended).

<PAGE>   3
2.       SALE OR TRANSFER OF DIRECTOR SHARES

         2.1 TRANSFER TO DIRECTOR HOLDER'S FAMILY. A Director Holder may
transfer Director Shares to his parents, siblings, spouse, or issue or to a
trust or custodianship for the exclusive benefit of himself or any of them (each
a "Family Group Member"); provided that any such transferee agrees in writing to
be bound by the provisions of this Agreement that bind the transferor Director
Holder.

         2.2 SALE: CORPORATION IS A PUBLIC COMPANY. If the Corporation is a
Public Company, a Director Holder may sell any or all of his Shares through the
facilities of any securities exchange on which the Director Shares may then be
listed in a manner that complies with applicable securities law and regulations,
except that no such sales shall be made within 180 days after any offering of
securities registered under the 1933 Act that involves shares of the same class
as Director Shares.

         2.3 SALE UPON CEASING TO BE A DIRECTOR; CORPORATION IS NOT A PUBLIC
COMPANY. (a) If a Director Holder ceases to be a member of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation at any time when the Corporation is not a Public
Company and elects, by notice to the Corporation within 10 days after ceasing to
be a member of the Board of Directors, to sell his Director Shares to the
Corporation, the Corporation shall purchase, and the Director Holder shall sell,
all of the Director Shares owned by such Director Holder for a purchase price
equal to Book Value Per Share multiplied by the number of Director Shares owned
by such Director Holder (the "Initial Section 2.3(a) Payment"). If the
Corporation purchased a Director Holder's Director Shares pursuant to the
preceding sentence and effects any offering of securities registered under the
1933 Act that involves an offering of shares of the same class as Director
Shares within four months after that Director Holder ceases to be a member of
the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the purchase price per Share shall be
increased by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the public offering price
per Share (after deduction of any applicable underwriter's commissions or
discounts) over the Book Value Per Share used in calculating the original
purchase price, less interest at the Prime Rate on the portion of the purchase
price previously paid in cash (the "Additional Section 2.3(a) Payment"). Subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Initial Section 2.3(a)
Payments shall be paid in cash at the closing of the purchase and sale and
Additional Section 2.3(a) Payments shall be paid in cash within 60 days of the
closing of the registered offering.

                  (b) The amount of the purchase price payable by the
Corporation to any Director Holder pursuant to Section 2.3(a) shall be reduced
by any amount paid by the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation to
NCNB National Bank (or any successor bank) to discharge the principal portion of
any indebtedness incurred by such Director Shareholder to purchase the Director
Shares. If, as a result of restrictions in its loan agreement with NationsBank
of Georgia, N.A., ProSource Services Corporation ("PSC"), is unable to pay
sufficient dividends to the Corporation to enable the Corporation to pay the
amount of the purchase price required to be paid by it in cash either at the
closing of the sale or at any time thereafter in accordance with the terms set
forth in Sections 2.3(a), the Corporation shall be entitled to pay any unpaid
portion of the payments required to be made under Sections 2.3(a), together with
interest thereon at the Prime Rate, at such time as it has received from PSC
sufficient dividends to enable it to do so.


                                        3
<PAGE>   4
         2.4 SALE UPON DEFAULT ON INDEBTEDNESS. If a Director Holder defaults on
any indebtedness referred to in Section 1.3, the Corporation shall have the
option, exercisable upon notice to the Director Holder at any time following a
default, to purchase all or any portion of the Director Shares with respect to
which such debt was incurred at a purchase price equal to (i) 85% of Book Value
Per Share, if the Corporation is not a Public Company at the time of the closing
of the purchase or (ii) 85% of Market Price Per Share, if the Corporation is a
Public Company at the time of the closing of the purchase.

         2.5 CLOSING OF SALE. The closing of any purchase and sale of Director
Shares pursuant to the exercise of a right under this Section 2 (other than
transfers made pursuant to Section 2.1 or sales made through the facilities of
any securities exchange pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 5) shall be held at the
principal offices of the Corporation on a date designated by the purchaser but
in any event not later than the last day upon which a purchase is permitted or
required to be made. At the closing, the Director Holder selling Shares shall
deliver to the purchaser the stock certificates and other instruments
representing such Shares, together with stock powers and other instruments
transferring such Shares, duly endorsed for transfer and free and clear of all
claims, liens, encumbrances and security interests, and the purchaser shall
deliver to the Director Holder the consideration payable upon closing.

3.       OPTIONS TO PURCHASE SHARES

         3.1 Shares received by a Director Holder upon the exercise or
conversion of any options, warrants, rights to purchase shares or securities
convertible into Shares, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and may not be transferred except as permitted by this Agreement.

4.       SALE OF SHARES BY ONEX AND THE CORPORATION

         4.1 TAG ALONG. (a) If at any time any member of the Onex Group proposes
to sell any Shares except for (i) sales to another member of the Onex Group that
becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement (an "Onex Group Member"), (ii)
sales to a Director Holder or other management employee or director of the
Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation, (iii) sales of the 500 Shares
purchased by Onex on June 30, 1992 for later disposition to persons providing
services to the Corporation or any of the Corporation's subsidiaries (the "500
Shares"), (iv) sales effected on a national securities exchange in the regular
way or in the over-the-counter market, or (v) sales made pursuant to an offering
of securities registered under the 1933 Act (a "Tag Along Disposition"), each of
the Director Holders shall have the right to sell to the proposed purchaser a
number of his Director Shares equal to the total number of his Director Shares
multiplied by a ratio, the numerator of which is the number of Shares to be sold
by the Onex Group Member to the proposed purchaser and the denominator of which
is the total number of Shares then owned by the Onex Group. Such ratio is
referred to herein as the "Share Ratio." A sale of Director Shares pursuant to
this Section shall be made at the same price, upon the same terms, and at the
same time as the sale by the Onex Group Member of its Shares.


                                        4
<PAGE>   5
                  (b) The Onex Group Member shall give notice (the "Tag Along
Notice") to each Director Holder of the proposed Tag Along Disposition at least
20 days prior to the same. The Tag Along Notice shall be in writing and shall
describe the terms of the Tag Along Disposition in reasonable detail, the
identity of the proposed purchaser, the proposed date of sale, the purchase
price per Share, and the Share Ratio and shall state that (i) the Director
Holder has the option to sell to the proposed purchaser a number of Director
Shares equal to the total number of Director Shares then owned by such Holder
multiplied by the Share Ratio, (ii) the sale, if made, shall be made at the same
price per share, upon the same terms, and at the same time as the sale by the
Onex Group Member of its Shares to the proposed purchaser, and (iii) the sale by
Director Holders will be conditioned upon a sale of Shares by the Onex Group
Member pursuant to this Section.

                  (c) A Director Holder may exercise his sale option pursuant to
Section 4.1 by delivering to the Onex Group Member, within ten days after such
Director Holder receives the Tag Along Notice, written notice of his offer to
sell Director Shares pursuant to this Section and indicating the number of
Director Shares offered for sale. If a Director Holder gives notice of his
election to sell, he shall be obligated to do so, but the sale and his
obligation to sell shall be conditioned upon the closing of the Tag Along
Disposition. If the purchaser specifies a limited number of Shares that it is
willing to purchase in the aggregate, each Director Holder and the Onex Group
Member shall have the right to sell its or his proportion of the number of
Shares that the purchaser is purchasing, i.e., the proportion that the number of
Shares owned by such Person bears to the aggregate number of Shares owned by the
shareholders who are selling Shares. For purposes of this Section 4.1, the
number of Shares owned by any Onex Group Member shall not be deemed to include
any portion of the 500 Shares then owned by any Onex Group Member.

                  (d) If a transferee of Onex Shares pursuant to this Section 
4.1 acquires such Shares free of this Agreement, then such transferee shall also
take the Director Shares being sold by a Director Holder free of this Agreement.
If, however, any Onex Group Member is required to transfer any Onex Shares
subject to this Agreement, then the Director Holder shall also transfer his
Director Shares subject to this Agreement.

         4.2 DRAG ALONG. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any
Onex Group Member proposes to sell any Shares to any Person, except for (i)
sales of the 500 Shares, (ii) sales effected on a national securities exchange
in the regular way or in the over-the-counter market, and (iii) sales to any
other Onex Group Member (a "Drag Along Disposition"), it may, upon giving notice
to each Director Holder at least 20 days prior to the Drag Along Disposition
(the "Drag Along Notice") require the Director Holders to sell a number of
Director Shares equal to the total number of Director Shares then owned by such
Holder multiplied by the Share Ratio. The Drag Along Notice shall be in writing
and shall contain the same information as is required to be set forth in the Tag
Along Notice. A sale of Director Shares pursuant to this Section shall be made
at the same price, upon the same terms, and at the same time as the sale by the
Onex Group Member of its Shares pursuant to this Section . Any transferee of
Shares owned by any Onex Group Member or of the Director Holders pursuant to
this Section 4.2 shall acquire such Shares free of this Agreement, unless the
agreement between the Onex Group Member and such transferee provides otherwise.


                                        5

         4.3 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES ON A DISPOSITION. In connection with
any transfer described in this Section 4 in which Director Shares are to be sold
by a Director Holder, Onex and the selling Onex Group Member may require the
Director Holder to enter into agreements with the purchaser representing and
warranting that, except as specifically disclosed to the purchaser in writing,
such Director Holder at the time of the closing of such transfer, does not have
actual knowledge that any representation or warranty made by the Corporation or
any other shareholder in connection with the disposition was untrue in any
material respect when made or is untrue in any material respect as of the
closing; the liability of the selling Director Holder under such representation
and warranty shall be limited to the amount which he receives from the sale of
his Director Shares in connection with such transfer and shall be pro rata in
accordance with the number of Shares sold by the Director Holder in relation to
the Shares being sold by all holders.

         4.4 PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS. If, prior to the time when the Corporation
becomes a Public Company, the Corporation intends to sell shares of its capital
stock or options, warrants, rights to purchase, or securities convertible into,
or exchangeable for, shares of its capital stock to any member of the Onex Group
for cash, the Corporation shall give notice thereof (the "Sale Notice") to each
of the Director Holders. The Sale Notice shall be in writing, shall describe the
securities to be offered, the price of such securities, and other terms of the
offer in reasonable detail. Each Director Holder shall have the right, subject
to applicable law and exercisable by notice to the Corporation within 45 days
after his receipt of the Sale Notice, to purchase his Pro Rata Share (as defined
in this Section 4.4) of the securities offered for the same price per unit and
on the same terms as the securities are offered to Onex and as are described in
the Sale Notice. As used in this Section 4.4, the term "Pro Rata Share" shall
mean the product of (x) the total number of securities referred to in the Sale
Notice as proposed to be sold to members of the Onex Group and (y) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of Director Shares of all classes held by
the Director Holder on the date the Sale Notice is given and the denominator of
which is the sum of the number of Shares of all classes of the Corporation's
stock of the same class or classes as Director Shares outstanding on such date
(including the Director Shares). Any securities acquired by a Director Holder
pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall not apply to the issuance of
securities, with or without consideration, to officers and employees of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries or plans for the benefit of such employees, by
the Corporation from time to time and shall not require the Corporation to offer
securities under circumstances that could require registration under the 1933
Act.

5.       PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS

         5.1 If the Corporation proposes to effect a registration under the 1933
Act involving an offering of securities of the same class as the Director
Shares, it shall give written notice of its intention to do so (the "Public
Offering Notice") to each Director Holder.

         5.2 Upon the written request of a Director Holder (the "Director
Holder's Request") delivered to the Corporation within ten days after such
Holder's receipt of the Public Offering Notice, the Corporation shall use its
best efforts to cause the registration under the 1933 Act of the


                                                         6
<PAGE>   7
number of Director Shares stated in the Director Holder's Request for
disposition in accordance with the intended method of disposition as stated in
the Director Holder's Request; provided, that:

                  (a) if, the number of Director Shares stated in the Director
Holder's request represents a greater proportion of the total number of Director
Shares owned by such Director Holder than the number of Shares proposed to be
sold and distributed by the Onex Group pursuant to the public offering bears to
the total number of Shares owned by the Onex Group, the Corporation shall not be
obligated to effect the registration of such excess number of Director Shares of
such Director Holder;

                  (b) if, at any time after giving such written notice of its
intention to register any of its securities and prior to the effective date of
the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the
Corporation determines for any reason not to effect such registration or to
delay such registration, it may, at its election, give written notice of such
determination to each Director Holder and thereupon the Corporation (i) in the
case of a determination not to effect registration, shall be relieved of its
obligation to register any Director Shares in connection with such registration
or (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registration, shall be entitled
to delay the registration of the Director Shares for the same period as the
delay in the registration of its securities;

                  (c) if (i) the registration involves an underwritten offering
of the securities being registered (in which case the Director Holder shall be
required to make its offering through the underwriters selected by the
Corporation and to sign the same underwriting agreement), whether or not for
sale for the account of the Corporation and (ii) the managing underwriter of
such underwritten offering advises the Corporation that the number of Shares
that members of the Onex Group, the Director Holders and other selling
stockholders wish to sell exceeds the number thereof that, in the sole
discretion of the underwriter, is the maximum number thereof that may be
included in the offering without adversely affecting the offering, then the
Corporation shall not be required to include in the offering the excess number
of Shares requested to be sold by the members of the Onex Group and each
Director Holder above such maximum number (the Shares so included to be
apportioned pro rata among the members of the Onex Group, each Director Holder
and other selling stockholders so that each member of the Onex Group, each
Director Holder and each other selling stockholder shall be entitled to have
included in the offering a number of Shares that is proportionate to his or its
respective ownership of Shares); and

                  (d) the Corporation shall not be obligated to effect any
registration of Director Holder's Shares under this Section 5 incidental to the
registration of any of its securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions,
exchange offers, dividend reinvestment plans or stock options or other employee
benefit plans or incidental to the registration of any nonequity securities not
convertible into equity securities.

         5.3 Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law or regulations,
the Corporation shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with the
registration of Director Holder's Shares pursuant to this Section 5, including
all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, blue sky fees and expenses
and accountant expenses to the extent permitted by law, but not including
commissions and


                                        7
<PAGE>   8
expenses payable to underwriters in respect of Director Shares and the fees of
any counsel or other advisers retained by Director Holders.

6.       LEGEND

         All certificates representing Director Shares held by any Director
Holder (and held by a transferee of Director Shares, except (i) as set forth in
Section 4, (ii) with respect to Shares transferred to Onex, and (iii) with
respect to a transferee pursuant to Section 2.2 or pursuant to a registration
statement in accordance with Section 5) shall bear the following legend:

Company or any of its affiliates. In any case described in this Section 5(c),
the Board shall give the Employee written notice, in accordance with Section
5(e), that the Company intends to terminate his employment for Cause (the
"Preliminary Cause Notice"). The Preliminary Cause Notice shall specify the
particular act or acts or failure to act that is or are the basis for the
decision to so terminate the Employee's employment for Cause. The Board shall
give the Employee an opportunity to meet with the Board to defend such act or
acts or failure to act within 30 calendar days of Employee's receipt of such
notice and to correct such act or failure to act within 30 business days
following such meeting. If the Employee fails to correct such act or failure to
act within the 30 business days following the meeting, the Employee's employment

                                        5

by the Company shall be terminated under this Section 5(c) for Cause as of the
Date of Termination.

                  (d) COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR FOR
DISABILITY.

                  (i) If the Company terminates the Employee's employment
hereunder without Cause or for disability in accordance with Section 5(b):

                  (A) In addition to the amounts paid to the Employee pursuant
to Section 5(a), in lieu of any further salary payments to the Employee for any
period subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay to the
Employee, during the one-year period commencing on the Date of Termination, an
amount equal to (1) the Employee's annual Base Salary in effect as of the Date
of Termination plus (2) a cash bonus in an amount equal to the pro rata portion
of the actual incentive payment that Employee would have received under the
management incentive plan for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs
but for Employee's termination. Except as provided in Section 7, the amount
described in clause (1) of this Paragraph (A) shall be paid in substantially
equal monthly payments during the 12-month period following the Date of
Termination, except that the Company may determine, in its sole discretion, to
pay such amount (or any portion remaining during such period if periodic
payments have commenced) in a single lump sum in cash or, if so requested by the
Employee, in two lump sums. The amount described in clause (2) of this Paragraph
(A) shall be paid at the same time as payments are or would have been made under
the incentive plan in effect on the Date of Termination.

                                        6


<PAGE>   7
                  (B) For the one-year period following the Date of Termination,
the Company shall continue to provide the Employee (and his eligible dependents,
if any) with (1) group health and life insurance benefits and long-term
disability insurance coverage (or the economic equivalent thereof) at the level
in effect on the Date of Termination, (2) the perquisite allowance referred to
in Section 4(c)(iv), and (3) the benefits referred to in Sections 4(e) and 4(f);
provided that if the Employee is employed by another employer within such
one-year period such benefits and insurance coverage shall cease except for
insurance coverage for conditions existing on the date of employment by an
employer other than the Company, and further provided that, at the expiration of
the extended period of insurance coverage provided under this clause (i)(B), the
Employee (and his eligible dependents, if any) shall be entitled to the full
period of coverage provided him under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, unless other employment has been obtained.

                  (C) The Company shall reimburse Employee for actual costs
incurred in seeking reemployment, including costs of outplacement services up to
a maximum of $25,000.

                  (e) NOTICE OF TERMINATION; DATE OF TERMINATION. Any
termination of the Employee's employment, other than by reason of his death,
shall be communicated by the terminating party by a written notice of
termination (the "Notice of Termination"). The Notice of Termination shall (i)
indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement upon which the
termination is based, (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Employee's
employment under the provision so indicated, and (iii) specify the Date of
Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, "Date of Termination" shall mean
(i) if the Employee's employment is terminated by his death, the date of


                                        7


<PAGE>   8



his death, and (ii) in all other cases, the later of the date of actual receipt
of the Notice of Termination and the date specified in such notice. The Date of
Termination shall not occur prior to the completion of the cure period described
in Section 5(c) if termination is for Cause.

                  (f) NO MITIGATION; NO OFFSET. In the event of any termination
of the Employee's employment under this Section 5, the Employee shall be under
no obligation to seek other employment and there shall be no offset against any
amounts due the Employee under this Agreement on account of any remuneration
that the Employee may obtain from any subsequent employment. Any amounts due
under this Section 5 are in the nature of liquidated damages and not in the
nature of a penalty.

         6.       COVENANTS.

                  (a) CONFIDENTIALITY. The Employee acknowledges that he has
acquired and will acquire confidential information respecting the business of
the Company. Accordingly, the Employee agrees that he will not willfully
disclose, at any time (during the employment term or thereafter), any such
confidential information to any unauthorized third party without the consent of
the Company as authorized by the Board. For this purpose, information shall be
considered confidential only if such information is proprietary to the Company
and has not been made publicly available prior to its disclosure by the
Employee. There shall be no breach of this Section 6(a) if the disclosure does
not have an adverse effect on the Company's business or operations, or otherwise
harm or damage the Company.

                  (b) COMPETITIVE ACTIVITY. (i) If Employee's employment
hereunder is terminated, Employee shall not, without the written consent of the
Board, during the twelve-month period following the Date of Termination,
directly, individually or as an employee, agent,

                                        8


<PAGE>   9



partner, shareholder, consultant or in any other capacity, participate in,
engage in or have a financial interest or management position or other interest
in any business operation or any enterprise that is in direct competition with
the Company. The ownership of an interest constituting not more than 1% of the
outstanding debt or equity in a corporation the shares of which are traded on a
recognized stock exchange or trade in the over-the-counter market, even though
that corporation may be a competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
shall not be deemed financial participation in a competitor.

                  (ii) The Employee shall not, without the written consent of
the Board, during the employment term and through the first anniversary of his
Date of Termination, directly or indirectly, either for his own benefit or for
the benefit of any other person, solicit to take away, or take away any
customers doing business with the Company on the Date of Termination or who were
being solicited to become customers as of the Date of Termination or recruit,
induce, or encourage any employee of the Company or any affiliate of the Company
to terminate such employee's employment with the Company or such affiliate,
except that nothing herein shall prohibit the Employee from giving a reference
or a recommendation to any third party with respect to any such employee.

                  (c) REMEDY FOR BREACH AND MODIFICATION. The Employee
acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 6 are reasonable and necessary
for the protection of the Company and that the Company will be irrevocably
damaged if such provisions are not specifically enforced. Accordingly, the
Employee agrees that, in addition to any other relief or remedies available to
the Company, the Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain an appropriate
injunction or other equitable remedy from a court with proper jurisdiction for
the

                                        9


<PAGE>   10



purposes of restraining the Employee from any actual or threatened breach of
such provisions, and no bond or security will be required in connection
therewith. If any provision of this Section 6 is deemed invalid or
unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed modified and limited to the extent
necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

                  7. SECTION 280G PAYMENTS. If the aggregate present value of
the Employee's payments under this Agreement, and any plan, program, or
arrangement maintained by the Company constitutes an "excess parachute payment"
(within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code")) and the excise tax on such payment would cause the net
parachute payments (after taking into account federal, state and local income
and excise taxes) to which the Employee otherwise would be entitled to be less
than what the Employee would have netted (after taking into account federal,
state and local taxes) had the present value of his total parachute payments
equaled $1.00 less than three times his "base amount" (within the meaning of
Code Section 280(G)(b)(3)(A)), the Employee's total "parachute payments" (within
the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2)(A)) shall be reduced (by the minimum
possible amount) so that their aggregate present value equals $1.00 less than
three times such base amount. For purposes of this calculation, it shall be
assumed that the Employee's tax rate will be the maximum marginal federal, state
and local income tax rate on earned income, with such maximum federal rate to be
computed with regard to Code Section 1(g), if applicable. If the Employee and
the Company are unable to agree as to the amount of the reduction described
above, if any, the Employee shall select a law firm or accounting firm from
among those regularly consulted (during the twelve-month period immediately
prior to the change in control that resulted in the characterization of the
payments as

                                       10


<PAGE>   11



parachute payments) by the Company regarding federal income tax or employee
benefit matters and such law firm or accounting firm shall determine the amount
of such reduction and such determination shall be final and binding upon the
Employee and the Company.

                  8. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall indemnify, defend, and
hold the Employee harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by law, from any and
all claims, litigation, or suits arising out of the activities of the Employee
reasonably taken in the performance of his duties hereunder, including all
reasonable expenses and professional fees that may relate thereto. The Company
shall obtain a directors and officers liability insurance policy covering the
Employee in a sufficient amount to provide such indemnification if such coverage
is available on commercially reasonable terms, and shall maintain such policy
during the employment term (and for so long thereafter as is practicable in the
circumstances taking into account the availability of such insurance).

                  9. TERMINATION OF ONEX CONSULTING AGREEMENT. Onex and the
Employee agree that the Onex Consulting Agreement is hereby terminated.

                  10. MISCELLANEOUS.

                           (a) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida applicable
to agreements made and to be performed in that State.

                           (b) NOTICE. Any notice, consent, request or other
communication made or given in connection with this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by
registered or certified mail, return receipt

                           (b) BONUSES. In addition to Base Salary, the Employee
may receive a cash bonus. The bonus shall be determined in accordance with any
applicable executive management bonus or incentive compensation plan in effect
at the date of determination or, if no such plan is in effect, by the Board or
the appropriate committee thereof, in its sole discretion.

                           (c) OTHER BENEFIT PLANS AND FRINGE BENEFITS. The
Employee shall be eligible to (i) participate in ProSource's Amended and
Restated Management Option Plan (1995) and 1996 Stock Option Plan, (ii)
participate in all employee benefit plans maintained by the Company for its
senior management executives during the employment term, (iii) receive all

                           (d) VACATION. Employee shall be entitled to four
weeks of paid vacation annually. Employee shall determine, in his reasonable
discretion, the timing of such vacation.

                           (e) AUTOMOBILE. During the term of his employment,
the Company shall pay to Employee on a monthly basis an amount equal to $1,500
to cover the monthly cost of an automobile of his choice and related expenses,
including insurance on, maintenance of, and fuel for, the automobile.

                           (f) INITIATION FEES/CLUB DUES. The Employee shall
receive $7,000 each year for club memberships, including country clubs, luncheon

                  5. TERMINATION.

                           (a) COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. Except as otherwise
provided in this Section or Section 7, upon termination of the Employee's
employment hereunder, his right to compensation hereunder shall cease except
that the Employee shall be entitled to receive his Base Salary and benefits up
to the Date of Termination (as defined in Section 5(e)) or for the period
required by law, except that any bonus payable pursuant to Section 4(b) shall be
prorated to the Date of Termination.

                           (b) DEATH AND DISABILITY. The Employee's employment
hereunder shall terminate upon his death and may be terminated by the Company
due to Employee's Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall
mean the determination by the Board that the Employee is physically or mentally
incapacitated and has been unable for a period of six consecutive months, or for
shorter periods aggregating six months in any period of 12

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
consecutive months, to perform the duties for which he was responsible
immediately before the onset of his incapacity. To assist the Board in making
such a determination, the Employee shall, as reasonably requested by the Board,
(i) make himself available for medical examinations, without cost to the
Employee, by a physician chosen by the Board and approved by the Employee, whose
approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (ii) grant the Board and any
such physician access to all relevant medical information concerning him,
arrange to furnish copies of medical records to such physician, and use his best
efforts to cause his own physicians to be available to discuss his health with
such physician. The determination of the physician chosen in accordance with the
preceding sentence shall be final and binding on the Company and the Employee.

                           (c) TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY FOR CAUSE. The
Employee's employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company for Cause. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term "Cause" shall mean (i) the Employee's
conviction of a crime involving actual dishonesty against the Company or any of
its affiliates, (ii) gross negligence or gross misconduct by the Employee
against the Company or another employee, or in carrying out his duties and
responsibilities, or (iii) a breach of the provisions of Section 6(a) or (b)
hereof that is harmful to the Company or any of its affiliates. In any case
described in this Section 5(c), the Board shall give the Employee written
notice, in accordance with Section 5(e), that the Company intends to terminate
his employment for Cause (the "Preliminary Cause Notice"). The Preliminary Cause
Notice shall specify the particular act or acts or failure to


                                       5
<PAGE>   6
act that is or are the basis for the decision to so terminate the Employee's
employment for Cause. The Board shall give the Employee an opportunity to meet
with the Board to defend such act or acts or failure to act within 30 calendar
days of Employee's receipt of such notice and to correct such act or failure to
act within 30 business days following such meeting. If the Employee fails to
correct such act or failure to act within the 30 business days following the
meeting, the Employee's employment by the Company shall be terminated under this
Section 5(c) for Cause as of the Date of Termination.

                           (d) COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR
FOR DISABILITY.

                           (i) If the Company terminates the Employee's
         employment hereunder without Cause or for disability in accordance with
         Section 5(b):

                           (A) In addition to the amounts paid to the Employee
         pursuant to Section 5(a), in lieu of any further salary payments to
         the Employee for any period subsequent to the Date of Termination, the
         Company shall pay to the Employee, during the eighteen-month period
         commencing on the Date of Termination, an amount equal to 150% of the
         sum of (1) of Employee's annual Base Salary in effect as of the Date of
         Termination plus (2) a cash bonus in an amount equal to the pro rata
         portion of the actual incentive payment that Employee would have
         received under the management incentive plan for the year in which the
         Date of Termination occurs but for Employee's termination. Except as
         provided in Section 7, the amount described in clause (1) of this
         Paragraph (A) shall be paid in substantially equal monthly payments
         during the 18-month period following the Date of Termination, except
         that the Company may determine, in its sole discretion, to pay such
         amount (or any portion remaining during such period if periodic
         payments have commenced) in a single lump sum in cash or, if so
         requested by the


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
         Employee, in two lump sums. The amount described in clause (2) of this
         Paragraph (A) shall be paid at the same time as payments are or would
         have been made under the incentive plan in effect on the Date of
         Termination.

                  (B) For the 18 months following the Date of Termination,
         the Company shall continue to provide the Employee (and his eligible
         dependents, if any) with (1) group health and life insurance benefits
         and long-term disability insurance coverage (or the economic equivalent
         thereof) at the level in effect on the Date of Termination, (2) the
         perquisite allowance referred to in Section 4(c)(iv), and (3) the
         benefits referred to in Sections 4(e) and 4(f); provided that if the
         Employee is employed by another employer within such 18-month period
         such benefits and insurance coverage shall cease except for insurance
         coverage for conditions existing on the date of employment by an
         employer other than the Company, and further provided that, at the
         expiration of the extended period of insurance coverage provided under
         this clause (i)(B), the Employee (and his eligible dependents, if any)
         shall be entitled to the full period of coverage provided him under
         Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless
         other employment has been obtained.

                  (C) The Company shall reimburse Employee for actual costs
         incurred in seeking reemployment, including costs of outplacement,
         services up to a maximum of $25,000.

                  (D) Unless Employee has in fact vested under any retirement
plan then in effect, Employee shall be deemed to have been employed by the
Company for the minimum number of years required to vest under such plans.

<PAGE>   8
                           (e) NOTICE OF TERMINATION; DATE OF TERMINATION. Any
termination of the Employee's employment, other than by reason of his death,
shall be communicated by the terminating party by a written notice of
termination (the "Notice of Termination"). The Notice of Termination shall (i)
indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement upon which the
termination is based, (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Employee's
employment under the provision so indicated, and (iii) specify the Date of
Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, "Date of Termination" shall mean
(i) if the Employee's employment is terminated by his death, the date of his
death, and (ii) in all other cases, the later of the date of actual receipt of
the Notice of Termination and the date specified in such notice. The Date of
Termination shall not occur prior to the completion of the cure period described
in Section 5(c) if termination is for Cause.

                  6. COVENANTS.

                           (a) CONFIDENTIALITY. The Employee acknowledges that
he has acquired and will acquire confidential information respecting the
business of the Company. Accordingly, the Employee agrees that he will not
willfully disclose, at any time (during the employment term or thereafter), any
such confidential information to any unauthorized third party without the
consent of the Company as authorized by the Board. For this purpose, information
shall be considered confidential only if such information is proprietary to the
Company and has not been made publicly available prior to its disclosure by the
Employee. There shall be no breach of this Section 6(a) if the disclosure does
not have an adverse effect on the Company's business or operations, or otherwise
harm or damage the Company.


                                        8
<PAGE>   9
                           (b) COMPETITIVE ACTIVITY. (i) If Employee's
employment hereunder is terminated, Employee shall not, without the written
consent of the Board, during the eighteen month period following the Date of
Termination, directly, individually or as an employee, agent, partner,
shareholder, consultant or in any other capacity, participate in, engage in or
have a financial interest or management position or other interest in any
business operation or any enterprise that is in direct competition with the
Company. The ownership of an interest constituting not more than 1% of the
outstanding debt or equity in a corporation the shares of which are traded on a
recognized stock exchange or trade in the over-the-counter market, even though
that corporation may be a competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
shall not be deemed financial participation in a competitor.

                  (ii) The Employee shall not, without the written consent of
the Board, during the employment term and for eighteen months following the Date
of Termination, directly or indirectly, either for his own benefit or for the
benefit of any other person, solicit to take away, or take away any customers
doing business with the Company on the Date of Termination or who were being
solicited to become customers as of the Date of Termination or recruit, induce,
or encourage any employee of the Company or any affiliate of the Company to
terminate such employee's employment with the Company or such affiliate, except
that nothing herein shall prohibit the Employee from giving a reference or a
recommendation to any third party with respect to any such employee.

                           (c) REMEDY FOR BREACH AND MODIFICATION. The Employee
acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 6 are reasonable and necessary
for the protection of the Company and that the Company will be irrevocably
damaged if such provisions are not specifi-


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
cally enforced. Accordingly, the Employee agrees that, in addition to any other
relief or remedies available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to
seek and obtain an appropriate injunction or other equitable remedy from a court
with proper jurisdiction for the purposes of restraining the Employee from any
actual or threatened breach of such provisions, and no bond or security will be
required in connection therewith. If any provision of this Section 6 is deemed
invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed modified and limited to
the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

                  7. SECTION 280G PAYMENTS. If the aggregate present value of
the Employee's payments under this Agreement, and any plan, program, or
arrangement maintained by the Company constitutes an "excess parachute payment"
(within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code")) and the excise tax on such payment would cause the net
parachute payments (after taking into account federal, state and local income
and excise taxes) to which the Employee otherwise would be entitled to be less
than what the Employee would have netted (after taking into account federal,
state and local income taxes) had the present value of his total parachute
payments equaled $1.00 less than three times his "base amount" (within the
meaning of Code Section 280(G)(b)(3)(A)), the Employee's total "parachute
payments" (within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2)(A)) shall be reduced
(by the minimum possible amount) so that their aggregate present value equals
$1.00 less than three times such base amount. For purposes of this calculation,
it shall be assumed that the Employee's tax rate will be the maximum marginal
federal, state and local income tax rate on earned income, with such maximum
federal rate to be computed with regard to Code Section 1(g), if applicable. If
the Employee and the Company are unable to agree as to the amount of the


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
reduction described above, if any, the Employee shall select a law firm or
accounting firm from among those regularly consulted (during the twelve-month
period immediately prior to the change in control that resulted in the
characterization of the payments as parachute payments) by the Company regarding
federal income tax or employee benefit matters and such law firm or accounting
firm shall determine the amount of such reduction and such determination shall
be final and binding upon the Employee and the Company.

                  8. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall indemnify, defend, and
hold the Employee harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by law, from any and
all claims, litigation, or suits arising out of the activities of the Employee
reasonably taken in the performance of his duties hereunder, including all
reasonable expenses and professional fees that may relate thereto. The Company
shall obtain a directors and officers liability insurance policy covering the
Employee in a sufficient amount to provide such indemnification if such coverage
is available on commercially reasonable terms and shall maintain such policy
during the employment term (and for so long thereafter as is practicable in the
circumstances taking into account the availability of such insurance).

                  9. TERMINATION OF ONEX CONSULTING ARRANGEMENT. Onex and the
Employee agree that the Onex Consulting Arrangement is hereby terminated.

                           (d) WAIVER. The failure of a party to insist upon

subject to the following express terms and conditions set forth in this Section 
and to such other terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may deem
appropriate.

                  6.2. EXERCISE PERIOD. (a) Options are exercisable only in
accordance with the terms of the Plan and all Options that have not otherwise
expired or been canceled under the terms of the Plan shall expire, if not
exercised by the Optionee, on December 31, 2000.

                  (b) In connection with termination of an Optionee's employment
with the Company or any Subsidiary, an Option shall terminate at the earliest of
the following circumstances:

                           (i) the date that is three (3) months after the
                  Optionee's termination of employment, for any reason other
                  than as provided in paragraph (ii), (iii) or (iv) below;

                           (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months after
                  employment ceases due to Disability, but in no event later
                  than the date his Option would have expired under paragraph
                  (a);

                           (iii) the date the Optionee's employment is
                  terminated for Cause; and

                           (iv) the date twelve (12) months after the Optionee's
                  termination of employment as a result of death, but in no
                  event later than the date his Option would have expired under
                  paragraph (a).

                  (c) In the event that any Options are exercised following
termination of an Optionee's employment, all Common Shares purchased through
such exercise shall be subject to Section 2.5 of the Management Shareholders
Agreement (as if termination of employment had occurred as of the date of

                  6.5. EXERCISE IN THE EVENT OF A SALE. Upon an Exercise Event
(as hereinafter defined), all Options for Fiscal Years (or any portion thereof)
not yet ended shall be deemed to have been earned and each Management Employee
shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the cancellation of his Options the
consideration that such Employee would have received in such transaction had
such Options and all other Options exercisable on the date the triggering
transaction closes been exercised immediately prior to such date, less the
Exercise Price of such Options, and all such Options shall be cancelled upon
payment of such amount. "Exercise Event" shall mean either (i) if the Company is
not a Public Company and Onex and its affiliates sells all of their Common
Shares, or (ii) an agreement is made with a third party dealing at arm's length
with the Company for the sale (for consideration which is principally other than
common stock) of substantially all of the assets of the Company or any principal
Subsidiary, or all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, any
principal Subsidiary, or any successor corporation resulting from the merger or
consolidation of any one or more of them with any other corporation and if, as a
result of such transaction, Onex or any affiliate of Onex would receive a
compounded annual return on its initial purchase of Common Shares at least equal
to the return set forth on Schedule B.

                  6.6. NON-TRANSFERABILITY. No Option shall be transferable or
assignable.

                  6.7. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION, LISTING, AND REGULATION.

                  (a) Each Optionee shall deliver to the Board of Directors,
upon demand, at the time of any exercise of any Option, a written representation
that the Common Shares to be acquired upon such exercise are to be acquired for
investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof and an
indemnification in favor of the Company in the event of any violation by such
person of any law governing the transfer of such shares. Upon such demand,
delivery of such representation prior to the delivery of any Common Shares
issued upon exercise of Options and prior to the expiration of the exercise
period shall be a condition precedent to the right of the Optionee or such other
person to purchase any Common Shares pursuant to Options.

                  (b) Each Option shall be subject to the requirement that, if
at any time the Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, that the
registration, qualification, or other approval of or in connection with this
Plan or the Common Shares covered thereby is necessary or desirable under any
applicable law, then such Option may not be exercised, as a whole or in part,
unless and until any such registration, qualification, or approval is obtained
free of any condition not acceptable to the Board of Directors. The Optionee
shall cooperate with the Company in relation thereto and shall have no claim or
cause of action against the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of their officers or
directors, as the result of any failure by the Company to obtain or to take any
steps to obtain any such registration, qualification, or approval.

                  (c) The granting of Options and the issuance of Commons Shares
under the Plan shall be carried out in compliance with applicable law and with
the regulations of governmental authorities and applicable stock exchanges.

                  6.8. ADJUSTMENTS IN EVENT OF CHANGE IN COMMON SHARES. In the
event of any change in the issued Common Shares of the Company occasioned by
reason of a stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, combination, or exchange of shares, a rights offering
to purchase Common Shares at a price substantially below fair market value, or
any similar change affecting the issued Common Shares (excluding any issuance of
warrants by the Company that triggers the pre-emptive rights granted in the
Management Shareholders Agreement, but including any issuance of any other
warrants by the Company for the purchase of its securities), the number and kind
of shares subject to outstanding Options and the exercise price per share
thereof shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change in such
manner as the Board of Directors may deem equitable to prevent substantial
dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available to, participants
in the Plan.

                  6.9. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER. No Optionee shall have any
rights as a shareholder with respect to any Common Shares subject to an Option
granted to him prior to the date of issuance to him of a certificate or
certificates for such Shares.

                  6.10. NO RIGHTS TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. Neither the Plan nor
any Option shall confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuance
of employment or continuance as a director or officer with the Company or any
subsidiary, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or the
Subsidiaries to terminate his employment at any time in accordance with
applicable law.

                  6.11. MANAGEMENT SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT. The transfer, sale,
or other disposition of Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an
Option granted hereunder shall be governed by the Management Shareholders
Agreement.

Section 7.        PROCEEDS FROM SALES OF SHARES.

                  Any cash proceeds from the sale of Common Shares issued upon
exercise of Options shall be added to the general funds of the Company and shall
thereafter be used from time to time for such corporate purposes as the Board of
Directors may determine.

Section 8.        ASSIGNMENT.

                  Except as specifically provided under this Plan, or unless
otherwise required by applicable law, no rights or interests of a participant
under this Plan shall be given as security or assigned by any participant and no
portion of any Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be
subject to attachment, charge, anticipation, execution, garnishment,
sequestration, or other seizure under any legal or other process. Any
transaction purporting to effect such a prohibited result is void.

Section 9.        AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN.

terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may determine, this Plan shall
terminate on the earlier of:

                  (i) the date of signing of an underwriting agreement in
relation to an initial public offering of Common Shares if, pursuant to such
initial public offering, any regulatory authority, including any stock exchange
to which an application is made to list the Common Shares, so requires;

                  (ii)     December 31, 2000; and

                  (iii) subject to subsection 6.5, the effective date of a sale
to a third party dealing at arm's length of:

                           (a) all of the Common Shares owned by Onex or any
                  affiliate of Onex if the Company is a Public Company, or

                           (b) all or substantially all of the assets of the
                  Company or a principal Subsidiary, or

                           (c) all of the issued and outstanding shares of the
                  Company, a principal Subsidiary, or any successor corporation
                  resulting from the merger or consolidation of any one or more
                  of them with any other corporation.

                  Any termination of the Plan pursuant to (iii)(b) or (c) as the
result of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a principal
Subsidiary or the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of a
principal Subsidiary shall only be deemed to be a termination of the Plan as to
the Management Employees of that Subsidiary.

                  No Options shall be granted after the effective date of
termination of the Plan.

                  9.2. Notwithstanding Section 9.1 and without the consent of
any other party, the Company shall be permitted to amend or terminate this Plan
at any time if so required by applicable laws or by the rules of any regulatory
authority to whose jurisdiction the Company is subject.

                  9.3. If this Plan is terminated for any reason pursuant to
this Section 9 (other than pursuant to subsection 9.1(ii)), or revised to comply
with any applicable regulatory requirements, the Company shall, to the extent
permitted by law or regulatory authorities, adopt a plan in substitution
therefor, or make other arrangements, that will confer upon Management Employees
benefits approximately equivalent to those conferred by this Plan.

                  Where

                           N   = the number of shares of Stock issuable
                                 upon the exercise of the Option (or

                                 conversion.

                           FMV = Fair Market Value per share on the date of
exercise.

                           EP  = the exercise price.

                  termination of employment, for any reason other than as

                  (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months after employment

Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to
any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. With respect to withholding
required upon any taxable event under the Plan, the Committee may, at the time

requirement be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding shares of Stock
having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the amount to be

or confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the service of the
Company or any Affiliated Entity.

cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by
such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or
proceeding to which such member may be a party or in which he may be involved by
reason of any action or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any
and all amounts paid by such member in satisfaction of judgment in such action,
suit, or proceeding against him, provided he gives the Company an opportunity,
at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he undertakes to handle
and defend it on his own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall
not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons
may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company
or as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to
indemnify them or hold them harmless.

         The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience
of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan,
rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
