INFORMATION REQUIRED IN
THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
The following documents, or portions thereof, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), are incorporated herein
by reference:
1. Annual Report on Form 10-K of ProSource, Inc. (the
"Company") for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1996 filed with the Commission
(the "Commission") on March 28, 1997 (the "1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K").
2. Quarterly report on Form 10-Q of the Company for the fiscal
quarter ended March 29, 1997 filed with the Commission on May 13, 1997.
3. Quarterly report on Form 10-Q of the Company for the fiscal
quarter ended June 28, 1997 filed with the Commission on August 11, 1997.
4. The description of the Class A common stock, $.01 par value
per share, of the Company (the "Class A Common Stock") is contained under Item
1. "Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered" in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form 8-A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, filed with the Commission on November 5, 1996.
All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of
a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been
sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of filing
of such documents.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
As authorized by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation
Law (the "Delaware 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.
II-1
<PAGE> 4
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
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 Seventh 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.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not applicable.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
A. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
1. To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, unless the information
required to be included in such post-effective amendment is
contained in a periodic report filed with or furnished to the
Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and incorporated herein by reference.
2. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration
statement, unless the information required to be included in
such post-effective amendment is contained in a periodic
report filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and incorporated
herein by reference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected
in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) (Section 230.424(b) of this chapter), if, in
the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
3. To include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.
B. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
II-4
<PAGE> 7
or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to ProSource, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement"), filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), relating to the proposed offering by the Company of (a) up
to an aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, $.01
par value per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), pursuant to the Amended and
Restated ProSource, Inc. 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Employee Stock
Purchase Plan") and (b) up to an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the Company's
Class A Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of options issued or issuable
under the ProSource, Inc. 1997 Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Directors Stock
Option Plan").
In that connection, we have reviewed the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, its Amended and Restated By-Laws, as amended to
date, resolutions of its Board of Directors and stockholders and other such
documents and records as we have deemed appropriate.
On the basis of such review and having regard to legal considerations
which we deem to be relevant, it is our opinion that the Class A Common Stock to
be issued by the Company pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and
Directors Stock Option Plan, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of such
plans, will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement. In giving this opinion, we do not thereby 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 Securities and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,
/s/ KAYE, SCHOLER, FIERMAN, HAYS & HANDLER, LLP
