The reporting persons named in Item 2 below are hereby jointly
filing this statement on Schedule 13D because they may be deemed a "group"
within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, by virtue of their affiliated status and/or action in concert with
respect to the acquisition of shares of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined in
Item 1 below). Each of the reporting persons named in Item 2 disclaims
beneficial ownership of the Common Stock held on behalf of the other reporting
persons.

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Schedule 13D (this "Schedule") relates to the acquisition
of 677,880 shares of common stock ("Common Stock"), $.01 par value per share,
CUSIP No. 237823-10-9 (the "Securities"), of Data Processing Resources
Corporation, a California corporation (the "Issuer"), having its principal
executive offices at 4400 MacArthur Boulevard, Suite 600, Newport Beach,
California 92660.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This Schedule is filed on behalf of Christopher W. Lancashire
("C. Lancashire") and Alicia R. Lancashire ("A. Lancashire," and together with
C. Lancashire, the "Purchasers"). C. Lancashire is employed as Chief Executive
Officer and President of Computec International Strategic Resources, Inc., a
California corporation, formerly known as DPRC Acquisition Corp. ("Acquisition
Corp."), and A. Lancashire is employed as Vice President of Acquisition Corp.
Acquisition Corp. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer. C. Lancashire
and A. Lancashire are husband and wife and reside in California, a community
property state. The business address of C. Lancashire, A. Lancashire and
Acquisition Corp. is 801 North Brand Boulevard, Suite 650, Glendale, California
91203.

During the last five years, neither of the Purchasers has been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar
misdemeanors) nor been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such
laws.

C. Lancashire is a citizen of the United States and A.
Lancashire is a citizen of Argentina.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The Securities were acquired by the Purchasers pursuant to
that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated April
29, 1997, by and among the Purchasers, the Issuer, Acquisition Corp., Computec
International Strategic Resources, Inc., a California corporation ("Computec"),
and Merrill Lynch Trust Company of California, a

Page 4 of 9

<PAGE> 5
California corporation (the "Trustee"), as Trustee of the Lancashire Charitable
Remainder Unitrust. Under the Merger Agreement, Computec merged with and
disappeared into Acquisition Corp., effective April 30, 1997 (the "Effective
Time"). Under the Merger Agreement, the Purchasers and the Trustee delivered
to the Issuer upon the Effective Time all of the issued and outstanding shares
of capital stock of Computec (the "Computec Shares"). Concurrently, each of
the Purchasers received their share of the Securities according to their
respective ownership interest in Computec. The Purchasers and the Trustee also
received a cash amount according to their respective ownership interest in
Computec. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each of the Purchasers is also
entitled to receive additional consideration consisting of additional shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer (the "Additional Share Consideration") according to
their respective ownership interest in Computec, the aggregate amount of which
is contingent upon the financial performance of Acquisition Corp. measured as
of certain dates following the Effective Time. Although the exact number of
shares to be issued in the form of Additional Share Consideration is still
undetermined, the Merger Agreement provides that such number shall not exceed
the number of shares issued at the Effective Time, or 677,880 shares of Common
Stock (as adjusted to reflect subsequent stock splits and recapitalizations).

No part of the purchase price (which was paid by delivery of
the Computec Shares) was represented by funds or other consideration borrowed
or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting
the Securities.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Purchasers have each acquired the Securities solely for
investment purposes and not for the purpose of changing or influencing the
control of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Merger Agreement
provides that following the Effective Time, at the next meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Issuer, the Issuer will increase the authorized number of
members of the Board of Directors from five to seven and will cause C.
Lancashire to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

Neither of the Purchasers presently has any plans or proposals
which relate to or would result in:

(a) The acquisition of additional securities, or
disposition of securities of the Issuer, other than the acquisition of the
Additional Share Consideration;

(b) Other than the merger of Computec with and into
Acquisition Corp., which occurred at the Effective Time, an extraordinary
corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation,
involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

Page 5 of 9

<PAGE> 6
(d) Other than as disclosed above, any change in the
present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer including any plans or
proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing
vacancies on the Board;

(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or
dividend policy of the Issuer;

(f) Any other material change in the Issuer's business or
corporate structure;

(g) Changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or
instruments corresponding thereto or any actions which may impede the
acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

(h) Causing any class of securities of the Issuer to be
delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be
quoted in an inter-dealer quotation of a registered national securities
association;

(i) A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming
eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
Act; or

(j) Any similar action to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of The Issuer.

(a) As of April 29, 1997, there were 10,217,699 shares of
the Issuer's Common Stock outstanding, which is the number of outstanding
shares confirmed by the Issuer as of such date. Based on the foregoing, C.
Lancashire, as the sole beneficial owner of 338,940 shares of Common Stock of
the Issuer, holds 3.3% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. A.
Lancashire, as the sole beneficial owner of 338,940 of Common Stock of the
Issuer, holds 3.3% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. The
Purchasers, as husband and wife, may each be deemed to be the beneficial owners
of 6.6% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

(b) C. Lancashire has sole voting and dispositive power
with respect to 338,940 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. A. Lancashire
has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 338,940 shares of Common
Stock of the Issuer. Jointly, the Purchasers may be deemed to have shared
voting and dispositive power with respect to 677,880 shares of Common Stock of
the Issuer.

(c) Other than the purchases of the Securities described
in Item 3 herein, no other transactions by either of the Purchasers with
respect to the Securities was effected during the past 60 days.

(d) Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, 286,965 shares of
Common Stock acquired by the Purchasers (the "Escrowed Shares"), or 2.8% of the
outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer, is required to be delivered to and held
by an escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent")

Page 6 of 9

<PAGE> 7
for a period not to exceed two years after the Effective Time, to secure
certain indemnification claims of the Issuer against the Purchasers. Pursuant
to the Escrow Agreement dated April 29 1997, among the Purchasers, the Issuer
and the Escrow Agent signed concurrently with the Merger Agreement, the Escrow
Agent during the term of the Escrow Agreement shall receive any additional
shares of Common Stock of the Issuer that are issuable to the Purchasers by
virtue of any stock dividend, reclassification, stock split, subdivision or
combination of shares, recapitalization, merger or other event, made with
respect to the Escrowed Shares. Any cash dividends, dividends payable in
property or other distributions of any kind (except for the issuance of
additional shares described in the preceding sentence) shall be distributed
directly by the Issuer to the Purchasers.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The Purchasers have entered into the Merger Agreement,
described in Item 3, above, the Escrow Agreement, described in Item 5, above,
as well as a Registration Rights Agreement with the Issuer, entitling the
Purchasers to certain demand and incidental registration rights beginning one
year after the Effective Time.

The Purchasers have executed a joint reporting agreement (the
"Joint Reporting Agreement") dated May 8, 1997, which is being filed herewith,
pursuant to which they have agreed to file one joint statement on behalf of all
of them with respect to the subject matter of this Schedule and any amendments

ARTICLE 3
MERGER CONSIDERATION

3.1 Initial Consideration. Subject to Section 3.5, below, as soon
as possible after DPRC receives written certification from the California
Secretary of State of the filing of the Merger Documents with the California
Secretary of State, but in no event later than the next business day
thereafter, DPRC shall cause the following consideration to be delivered to the
Shareholders:

(a) Class A Initial Consideration. The initial
consideration to be received with respect to each share of Class A Outstanding
Stock pursuant to Section 2.4(a), above (the "Class A Initial Consideration"),
shall be an amount of DPRC Common Shares equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing the number of the Initial DPRC Shares by the number of shares of the
Outstanding Class A Stock. As used herein, the "Initial DPRC Shares" shall
mean that number of DPRC Common Shares which when multiplied by the DPRC
Average Closing Price, equals Thirteen Million Forty-Two Thousand Four Hundred
and No/100 Dollars ($13,042,400.00).

(b) Class B Initial Consideration. The initial
consideration to be received with respect to each share of Class B Outstanding
Stock pursuant to Section 2.4(b), above (the "Class B Initial Consideration"),
shall be an amount in cash equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the
amount of the Initial Cash Consideration by the number of shares of the
Outstanding Class B Stock. As used herein, the "Initial Cash Consideration"
shall mean the sum of (a) Nineteen Million Five Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand
Six Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($19,563,600.00), less the amount of Computec
Tax and Other Liabilities at the Effective Time, and (b) simple interest
accruing on the amount determined under the foregoing clause (a) at the rate of
5.5% per annum from the Effective Time through the date such payment is
actually made by DPRC to the Shareholders.

3.2 Additional Consideration. On the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Section 3.2, within 10 business days after each of August
15, 1997, March 31, 1998, August 15, 1998 and March 31, 1999 (each, an
"Additional Consideration Payment Date"), subject to Sections 3.5 and 8.4,
below, DPRC shall pay or cause to be paid to the Shareholders additional
consideration (the "Additional Consideration"), determined as follows:

(a) Amount of Additional Consideration. The amount of
the Additional Consideration payable by DPRC to the Shareholders on an
Additional Consideration Payment Date shall be determined as follows:

8
<PAGE> 14
(i) With respect to the August 15, 1997
Additional Consideration Payment Date, DPRC shall pay the Shareholders an
amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying 7.00 by the amount by which
Computec Adjusted EBIT for the first six months of the 1997 calendar year
exceeds $1.918 million. For example, if Computec Adjusted EBIT for the first
six months of the 1997 calendar year is $2.118, then the Additional
Consideration for the August 15, 1997 Additional Consideration Payment Date
shall be $1.4 million (i.e., [$2.118 million - $1.918 million] x 7.00 = $1.4
million).

(ii) With respect to the March 31, 1998
Additional Consideration Payment Date, DPRC shall pay the Shareholders an
amount equal to the difference between (A) the product obtained by multiplying
7.00 by the amount by which Computec Adjusted EBIT for the 1997 calendar year
exceeds $3.836 million, and (B) the amount of Additional Consideration paid to
the Shareholders pursuant to subparagraph (i), above; provided, however, that
if Computec Adjusted EBIT for the 1997 calendar year is less than $4.9 million,
then the amount of the Additional Consideration that would otherwise be payable
by DPRC to the Shareholders hereunder shall be reduced (but not below zero) by
an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying 7.00 by the amount by
which Computec Adjusted EBIT for 1997 calendar year is less than $4.9 million
(the "Minimum Threshold Adjustment"). For example, if Computec Adjusted EBIT
for the 1997 calendar year is $4.4 million and the amount of the Additional
Consideration paid to the Shareholders pursuant to subparagraph (i), above, is
as set forth in the example in subparagraph (i), above, then the Additional
Consideration for the March 31, 1998 Additional Consideration Payment Date
shall be $0 million (i.e., [$4.4 million - $3.836 million] x 7.00 - $1.4
million - $3.5 million = -$.952 million).

(iii) With respect to the August 15, 1998
Additional Consideration Payment Date, DPRC shall pay the Shareholders an
amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying 7.00 by the amount, if any,
by which Computec Adjusted EBIT for first six months of the 1998 calendar year
exceeds (A) Computec Adjusted EBIT for the first six months of the 1997
calendar year, or (2) $1.918 million, whichever is greater; provided, however,
that if Computec Adjusted EBIT for the 1997 calendar year was less than $4.9
million and the amount of the Minimum Threshold Adjustment exceeded the amount
of the Additional Consideration that would have otherwise been payable by DPRC
to the Shareholders pursuant to subparagraph (ii), above (the "Carryover
Minimum Threshold Adjustment"), then the amount of the Additional Consideration
that would otherwise be payable by DPRC to the Shareholders hereunder shall be
reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of the Carryover Minimum Threshold
Adjustment. For example, if Computec Adjusted EBIT for the 1997 calendar year
is $4.4 million and Computec Adjusted EBIT for the first six months of the 1998
calendar year is $3.2 million, then the Additional Consideration for the August
15, 1998 Additional Consideration Payment Date shall be $6.622 million (i.e.,
[$3.2 million - $2.118 million] x 7.00 - $.952 million = $6.622 million).

(iv) With respect to the March 31, 1999
Additional Consideration Payment Date, DPRC shall pay the Shareholders an
amount equal to the difference between (A) the product obtained by multiplying
7.00 by (1) the amount by which Computec Adjusted EBIT

9
<PAGE> 15
for the 1998 calendar year exceeds Computec Adjusted EBIT for the 1997 calendar
year, or (2) $3.836 million, whichever is greater, and (B) the amount of
Additional Consideration determined pursuant to subparagraph (iii), above,
before adjustment, if any, for the Minimum Threshold Adjustment; provided,
however, that if Computec Adjusted EBIT for the 1997 calendar year was less
than $4.9 million and the amount of the Minimum Threshold Adjustment exceeded
the amount of the Additional Consideration that would have otherwise been
payable by DPRC to the Shareholders pursuant to subparagraphs (ii) and (iii),
above (the "Remaining Carryover Minimum Threshold Adjustment"), then the amount
of the Additional Consideration that would otherwise be payable by DPRC to the
Shareholders hereunder shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of
the Remaining Carryover Minimum Threshold Adjustment. For example, if Computec
Adjusted EBIT for the 1998 calendar year is $8.0 million, the amount of the
Additional Consideration paid to the Shareholders pursuant to subparagraph
(iii), above, is as set forth in the example in subparagraph (iii), above, then
the Additional Consideration on the March 31, 1999 Additional Consideration
Payment Date shall be $17.626 million (i.e., [$8.0 million - $4.4 million] x
7.00 - $6.622 million - $.952 million - [0] = $17.626 million).

(v) Notwithstanding anything in subparagraphs
(i) through (iv), above, or any of the examples set forth therein, DPRC shall
have no liability, obligations or commitment to pay any Additional
Consideration to the Shareholders unless and until the amount of all Additional
Consideration earned hereunder is One Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($1,500,000.00), in which case, DPRC shall only be required to pay to
the Shareholders that portion of the Additional Consideration, if any, in
excess of One Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00).

(b) Calculation of Computec Adjusted EBIT. As soon as
practicable after June 30, 1997, December 31, 1997, June 30, 1998 and December
31, 1998, DPRC shall cause its auditor ("DPRC's Auditor") to compute the amount
of Computec Adjusted EBIT for the relevant accounting period, as set forth in
subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), above, and DPRC shall provide to the
Shareholders and their auditor (the "Shareholder's Auditor") for their review
and approval, DPRC's Auditor's computations and working papers reflecting how
such computations were made. If the Shareholders or Shareholder's Auditor have
any objections to the computation of Computec Adjusted EBIT for any relevant
accounting period, they will deliver detailed statements describing their
objections to DPRC within 30 days after receiving DPRC Auditor's computations
and working papers reflecting how such computations were made. The parties
will use their reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections. If, however,
the parties do not obtain final resolution of this matter within 30 days after
DPRC has received the statements of objections, the dispute shall be referred
to Price Waterhouse LLP (the "Accountant") within 15 days following such 30-day
period. The Accountant's determination of the amount of Computec Adjusted EBIT
for the relevant accounting period shall be rendered by the Accountant in a
writing setting forth in reasonable specificity the reasons for each conclusion
reached in its decision. The Accountant's determination shall be binding upon
all parties. However, in the event that the decision of the Accountant is
clearly erroneous, as determined in accordance with applicable procedures set
forth in Section 11.3, below, then the decision of the Accountant may be
vacated or corrected in the same manner as provided for in

10
<PAGE> 16
California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1286.2 or 1286.6 for any such
error. DPRC and the Shareholders shall use their best efforts, and shall cause
DPRC's Auditor and Shareholder's Auditor, respectively, to aid the Accountant
in reaching a decision within 30 days from the date the dispute is tendered to
the Accountant. DPRC and the Shareholders will share responsibility for the
fees and expenses of the Accountant based on the degree to which the Accountant
accepts the respective positions of the parties, as conclusively determined by
the Accountant.

(c) Class A Additional Consideration. The additional
consideration to be received with respect to each share of Class A Outstanding
Stock pursuant to Section 2.4(a), above, on an Additional Consideration Payment
Date (the "Class A Additional Consideration") shall be an amount of DPRC Common
Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the number of the Additional
DPRC Shares by the number of shares of the Outstanding Class A Stock. As used
herein, the "Additional DPRC Shares" shall mean that number of DPRC Common
Shares which when multiplied by the DPRC Average Closing Price, equals forty
percent (40%) of the Additional Consideration that is payable by DPRC to the
Shareholders for such Additional Consideration Payment Date, as determined in
accordance with Section 3.2(a)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), above, as the case may
be.

(d) Class B Additional Consideration. The additional
consideration to be received with respect to each share of Class B Outstanding
Stock pursuant to Section 2.4(b), above, on an Additional Consideration Payment
Date (the "Class B Additional Consideration") shall be an amount in cash equal
to the quotient obtained by dividing the amount of the Additional Cash
Consideration for such Additional Consideration Payment Date by the number of
shares of the Outstanding Class B Stock. As used herein, the "Additional Cash
Consideration" shall mean an amount in cash equal to sixty percent (60%) of the
Additional Consideration that is payable by DPRC to the Shareholders for such
Additional Consideration Payment Date, as determined in accordance with Section
3.2(a)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), above, as the case may be.

(e) Payment of Additional Consideration. Each payment of
the Class A Additional Consideration, as and when payable by DPRC to each
holder of the Outstanding Class A Stock, shall be paid by DPRC to each holder
of the Outstanding Class A Stock, which amount shall be payable by DPRC's
delivery to each holder of the Outstanding Class A Stock of a stock certificate
of DPRC, certifying that such holder is the record holder of the applicable
number of Additional DPRC Shares. Each payment of the Class B Additional
Consideration, as and when payable by DPRC to each holder of the Outstanding
Class B Stock, shall be paid by DPRC to each holder of the Outstanding Class B
Stock, which amount shall be payable by DPRC's delivery to each holder of the
Outstanding Class B Stock of a check, made payable to such holder of the
Outstanding Class B Stock, or cash by wire transfer to such holder's account.

(f) Maximization of Additional Consideration. DPRC
hereby acknowledges C. Lancashire's need to retain flexibility in making
operational and financial decisions regarding the conduct of the Business
during the 1997 and 1998 calendar years in order to maximize the Additional
Consideration. The Shareholders acknowledge, however, that C. Lancashire's

11
<PAGE> 17
flexibility will necessarily be subject to such limitations and controls as may
be appropriate (i) in light of Computec's status as a subsidiary of a public
company, and (ii) to ensure appropriate oversight of Computec's activities.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the
Ancillary Agreements, DPRC acknowledges and agrees that during the 1997 and
1998 calendar years (A) C. Lancashire will retain sole approval concerning
DPRC's resource requests, and (B) DPRC shall not hire or take away any of
Computec's management, sales or administrative personnel without first
obtaining C. Lancashire's prior written consent.

3.3 Fractional Shares. No fractional DPRC Common Shares will be
issued as part of the Initial DPRC Shares pursuant to Section 3.1, above, or
the Additional DPRC Shares pursuant to Section 3.2, above, but, in lieu of such
issuance, any holder of Outstanding Class A Stock who would otherwise be
entitled to receive a fraction of a DPRC Common Share will receive from DPRC,
promptly after the Effective Time, or the Additional Consideration Payment
Date, as the case may be, an amount of cash equal to the DPRC Average Closing
Price multiplied by the fraction of a share of DPRC Common Shares to which such
holder of Outstanding Class A Stock would otherwise be entitled.

3.4 Limitations on Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Shareholders acknowledges and
agrees that in no event will (a) the aggregate number of the Additional DPRC
Shares exceed the aggregate number of the Initial DPRC Shares (as adjusted to
reflect subsequent stock splits or recapitalizations), (b) the aggregate number
of the Initial DPRC Shares and the Additional DPRC Shares exceed 2 million (as
adjusted to reflect subsequent stock splits or recapitalizations), or (c) the
sum of the Initial Cash Consideration and the Additional Cash Consideration
exceed 60% of the aggregate amount of the Initial Consideration and the
Additional Consideration.

(a) Form of Additional Consideration. If, for whatever
reason, any of the foregoing clauses would be violated by the payment of one
form of Additional Consideration (e.g., issuance of Additional DPRC Shares
would cause clause (a) of Section 3.4, above, to be violated) and the
conversion of all or part of such Additional Consideration to another form of
consideration (e.g., cash) would not cause any of the limitations contained in
Section 3.4, above, to be violated, then the form of such portion of the
Additional Consideration shall be converted, at the request of the Lancashires,
to that form of Additional Consideration that will not cause any of the
limitations of Section 3.4, above, to be violated. If, however, the conversion
of all or part of such Additional Consideration from one form to another (e.g.,
DPRC Common Shares to cash, or cash to DPRC Common Shares) cannot be effected
without violating any of the limitations contained in Section 3.4, above, then
the parties acknowledge and agree that, subject to Section 3.4(b), below, such
portion of the Additional Consideration shall be automatically excluded from,
and not constitute a part of, the Additional Consideration.

(b) Favorable Changes in Tax Laws. If, due to a change
in a tax Law, DPRC would be permitted to pay Additional Consideration to the
Shareholders in an amount that is in excess of that which would otherwise be
permitted under Section 3.4, above, without violating Section 8.5, below, which
determination shall be made by DPRC in its good faith judgment after

12
<PAGE> 18
first consulting with its legal counsel and the DPRC Auditor, then DPRC shall
promptly pay the Shareholders such additional amounts of permitted Additional
Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, at no time shall the aggregate amount of the Initial
Consideration and the Additional Consideration hereunder exceed Seventy Million
and No/100 Dollars ($70,000,000.00).

(c) Other Changes or Developments. If DPRC is able to
take any other action that would permit DPRC to pay the Additional
Consideration to the Shareholders in an amount that is in excess of that which
would otherwise be permitted under Section 3.4, above, without violating
Section 8.5, below, which determination shall be made by DPRC in its good faith
judgment after first consulting with its legal counsel and the DPRC Auditor,
and the only adverse consequence to DPRC would be the obligation to pay that
amount of the Additional Consideration to the Shareholders, DPRC, at the
Shareholders' sole cost and expense, shall take such action. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at no time shall
the aggregate amount of the Initial Consideration and the Additional
Consideration hereunder exceed Seventy Million and No/100 Dollars
($70,000,000.00).

3.5 Escrowed Shares. A number of the Shareholders' Shares equal
to one-half (1/2) of the Initial DPRC Shares minus a number of the Initial DPRC
Shares which when multiplied by the DPRC Average Closing Price, equals One
Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the "Escrowed Shares") shall be
held by an escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent") pursuant to an escrow agreement in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the "Escrow Agreement"),
to secure claims by DPRC for the indemnification obligations of the Lancashires
pursuant to Section 8.3, below. All costs and expenses of the Escrow Agent in
connection with the Escrow Agreement shall be shared equally by the Lancashires
and DPRC.

3.6 No Further Rights. The Shareholders' receipt of the Initial
Consideration and the receipt of the amount of the Additional Consideration to
which they become entitled to receive under this Agreement, if any, shall be
deemed to be in full satisfaction of all of their rights pertaining to Computec
Stock.

ARTICLE 4
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF COMPUTEC

Computec hereby represents and warrants to DPRC that the following
statements are true and complete and not misleading as of the Closing Date:

4.1 Organization and Qualification of Computec. Computec is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
Laws of the State of California. Computec has the requisite corporate power
and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and conduct the Business as
presently conducted. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.23 hereto, Computec is
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction of the
United States and other nations where the character of its properties owned or
leased or the nature of

<PAGE> 19
its activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to
be so qualified or in good standing would not, in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect on Computec. Copies of Computec's Articles of
Incorporation, certified by the California Secretary of State, and Bylaws,
certified by Computec's Secretary, each of which is attached as Schedule 4.1
hereto, is complete and correct and, since the respective dates of
certification thereof, there have not been any amendments thereof.

4.2 Authorization. Computec has the requisite power, authority
and legal right and capacity to enter into this Agreement and, to the extent
that Computec is a party thereto, the agreements attached as Exhibits hereto
(the "Ancillary Agreements"), to perform its obligations hereunder and
thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
The execution, delivery and performance by Computec of this Agreement and such
Ancillary Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of Computec to make this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements valid and binding upon Computec in accordance with their respective
terms.

4.3 Due Execution and Delivery; Binding Obligations. This
Agreement and, to the extent Computec is a party thereto, each of the Ancillary
Agreements have been duly executed and delivered by Computec. This Agreement
and, to the extent Computec is a party thereto, each of the Ancillary
Agreements constitute the legal, valid and binding agreement and obligation of
Computec, enforceable against Computec in accordance with their terms, except
as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar Laws relating to or
limiting creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles relating to
enforceability and except as rights of indemnity or contribution may be limited
by federal or state securities or other Laws or the public policy underlying
such Laws.

4.4 No Conflict or Violation. Neither the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by Computec nor the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will result in (a) a
violation of, or a conflict with, Computec's charter documents or any
subscription, shareholders' or similar types of agreements or understandings to
which Computec is a party; (b) a breach of, or a default (or an event which,
with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under or
result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or
create a right of termination or acceleration under, any Contract, Encumbrance
or Permit to which Computec is a party or by which the Business is bound or
affected; (c) the payment by, or the creation of any obligation (absolute or
contingent) to pay on behalf of, any party of any severance, termination,
"golden parachute" or other similar payments pursuant to any employment or
other Contracts of Computec, or Computec's current or former officers,
directors or employees; (d) to Computec's and the Lancashires' knowledge, a
violation by Computec of any applicable Law; (e) a violation by Computec of any
order, judgment, writ, injunction decree or award known to Computec or the
Lancashires to which Computec is a party or by which the Business is affected;
or (f) an imposition of any Encumbrance.

14
<PAGE> 20
4.5 Consents and Approvals. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.5
hereto, no consent, Permit, approval or authorization of, or declaration,
filing, application, transfer, registration with, any governmental or
regulatory authority, or any other person or entity is required to be made or
obtained by Computec by virtue of its execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or to avoid the loss of any
Permit, or the violation, breach or termination of, or any default under, or
the creation of Encumbrances on any of the assets or properties of Computec
pursuant to the terms of any Law, or to enable DPRC to continue the lawful and
efficient operation of the Business following the Closing as presently
conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted.

4.6 Pending Litigation. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.6
hereto, there is no pending or, to Computec's and the Lancashires' knowledge,
threatened Action, whether private or public, affecting Computec or the
Business which could reasonably be expected to affect the enforceability of
this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or which could reasonably be
expected to materially and adversely affect the Business, Computec's assets or
properties, or Computec's ability to consummate the transactions contemplated
by or perform its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary
Agreements.

4.7 Capitalization of Computec. The authorized capital stock of
Computec consists of 2,000,000 shares of Class A Stock, of which 200,000 shares
are issued and outstanding, and 3,000,000 shares of Class B Stock, of which
300,000 shares are issued and outstanding. The issued and outstanding shares
of capital stock of Computec consist solely of the Computec Stock, which is
more specifically described on Schedule 4.7 hereto, and are held entirely by
the Shareholders. Other than this Agreement, and except as set forth on
Schedule 4.7 hereto, there is not outstanding any subscription, option,
warrant, call, right or other agreement or commitment obligating Computec to
issue, sell, deliver or transfer (including any right of conversion or exchange
under any outstanding security or other instrument) any shares of the Computec
Stock or any other shares of the capital stock of Computec. All of the shares
of the Computec Stock are duly and validly authorized, issued and outstanding,
fully paid and non-assessable. Computec does not have any Subsidiaries and
none of the Business has been or is being conducted by Computec International
Resources (U.K.) Limited.

4.8 Financial Statements. Computec has furnished to DPRC copies
of: (a) the audited balance sheets of Computec at December 31, 1996 and 1995
and the related statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for
the periods ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, together with the related
notes thereto and the auditors' report thereon, (b) Computec's internally
prepared balance sheet at March 31, 1997, and the related statements of income
and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, and (c) Computec's
internally prepared gross margin analysis for each of January, February and
March 1997. All financial statements referred to in this Section 4.8 (the
"Financial Statements") are complete and correct, have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis during the respective periods, and fairly present the
financial condition of Computec as at the respective dates thereof and the
results of operations of Computec for the respective periods covered by the
statements of income contained therein. The Financial

15
<PAGE> 21
Statements are attached hereto as Schedule 4.8. All reserves made by Computec
in the Financial Statements are appropriate and adequate for all known or
anticipated liabilities. Computec has provided and disclosed to DPRC, its
accountants and other Representatives all material facts and information
relating to the preparation of the Financial Statements.

4.9 Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.9

accrued, contingent or otherwise) related to the Business or its assets or
properties except (a) liabilities reflected on the Financial Statements, (b)
liabilities incurred since the Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of
business, and (c) liabilities arising under any Contract in the ordinary course

cause any of the things described in clauses (a) through (l), above.

4.11 Properties. Schedule 4.11 hereto sets forth a complete and
correct list of all assets owned by Computec at the Balance Sheet Date which
have been treated as capital assets. Computec does not own any real property.
Except as set forth on Schedule 4.11 hereto, Computec has good, indefeasible
and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, or a valid license
to use, all of the personal property used in and material to the Business, in
each case free and clear of all Encumbrances. All personal property owned or
leased by Computec is in good order and operating condition, ordinary wear and
tear excepted, and free from any defects, except for such minor defects which
do not substantially interfere with the continued

17
<PAGE> 23
use thereof in the conduct of normal operations in the manner and to the extent
such assets are presently being used.

4.12 Books and Records. Computec has made and kept (and given
DPRC's Representatives access to) the Books and Records, which, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the activities and transactions of
Computec related to the Business, the dispositions of assets related to the
Business, and the financial condition of Computec and the Business, including,
without limitation, the existence of any and all liabilities, whether actual or
contingent, including, without limitation, Computec Tax and Other Liabilities.

4.13 Intellectual Property.

(a) Schedule 4.13 hereto is a complete and correct list
of all of the material Intellectual Property. Except as set forth on Schedule
4.13 hereto, (a) the Intellectual Property is owned by Computec or Computec has
a valid license to use the same, (b) neither the Lancashires nor Computec has
received any notice or claim disputing Computec's right to own or use any such
Intellectual Property, and (c) to Computec's and the Lancashires' knowledge,
Computec's right to own or use the Intellectual Property is not disputed by any
third party. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.13 hereto, the Intellectual
Property is owned by Computec free and clear of all Encumbrances. The
Intellectual Property constitutes all of the proprietary rights necessary and
sufficient for the lawful and efficient operation of the Business as presently
conducted. To Computec's and the Lancashires' knowledge, Computec is not
infringing upon or otherwise acting adversely to any property owned by any
other person with respect to the Intellectual Property which has been received
and used by Computec, nor is there any Action by any person pending or, to
Computec's and the Lancashires' knowledge, threatened with respect thereto.

(b) Schedule 4.13 hereto accurately discloses all
licenses, sublicenses or agreements by which Computec holds or has given to
others the right to use the Intellectual Property. Computec is not in default
and, to Computec's and the Lancashires' knowledge, no third party is in
default, under any such license, sublicense or agreement.

4.14 Leases. Schedule 4.14 hereto sets forth a true, correct and
complete list and description of all Leases. All of the Leases are in good
standing, legal, valid, binding and in full force and effect, all rents and
additional rents due to date under each such Lease have been paid in full, and
there is not under any of such Leases any existing default, violation or breach
by Computec or event or condition which after notice or lapse of time or both
would constitute a default, violation or breach. Computec has provided DPRC
with true and correct copies of all such Leases.

4.15 Receivables. Attached hereto as Schedule 4.15 are true and
complete lists of Computec's accounts receivable (the "Receivables") at March
31, 1997 and unbilled accounts receivable (the "Unbilled Receivables") at March
31, 1997, including all of the foregoing with respect to Affiliated Parties.
Except to the extent collected since such date, all Receivables are

18
<PAGE> 24
reflected on Schedule 4.15, and all Receivables and Unbilled Receivables
accruing or created between such dates and the Effective Time are and will be
(a) valid bona fide claims against debtors for sales or other charges, and (b)
subject to no defenses, set-offs or counterclaims. To Computec's and the
Lancashires' knowledge, no additional loss reserves are required with respect
to the Receivables and Unbilled Receivables other than that which is currently
provided for in the Financial Statements. Neither Computec nor the Lancashires
have any reason to believe that any of the Receivables and Unbilled Receivables
are not collectible in accordance with their terms.

4.16 Contracts.

(a) Schedule 4.16 hereto contains a complete and correct
list of all Contracts, whether written or oral, (i) to which Computec is a
party or by which it is bound, or (ii) by which any of the assets, properties
or the Business is bound or subject, and, in either case, which constitute:

any extension or credit to, Computec;

(viii) Other agreements, contracts or commitments
which in any case are not terminable by Computec on at least 30 days' written
notice and involve payments or receipts of more than $10,000 per annum; and

(ix) Any other agreements, contracts or
commitments material to the Business, operations or financial condition of
Computec and which are not specifically excluded from disclosure under any of
subparagraphs (i) through (viii), above (i.e., Contracts involving payments or

19
<PAGE> 25
(b) Schedule 4.16 hereto sets forth a correct and
complete list of the 20 largest customers (by sales volume) (the "Major
Customers") of the Business during the 12-month period ended at the Balance
Sheet Date indicating the sales to such Major Customers within such period and
the existing contractual arrangements with each such Major Customer. As of the
Balance Sheet Date, Computec had no outstanding Contracts with customers
requiring payments or credits in excess of $500, or any prepaid amounts, except
for those listed on Schedule 4.16 hereto. There are no outstanding disputes
with any Major Customer, and no Major Customer has refused to do business with
Computec or has stated its intention not to continue to do business with or
increase or reduce its purchases from Computec or DPRC upon consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby. Except as reserved for in the Financial
Statements, neither Computec nor the Lancashires has any reason to believe that
any customer account is not collectible in accordance with its terms. No
existing contractual arrangement with a customer contains any fixed price
arrangement.

(c) At the Balance Sheet Date, Computec had no
outstanding Contract with suppliers or vendors requiring payments in excess of
$10,000 on an annualized basis except those listed on Schedule 4.16 hereto.

(d) Computec has delivered to DPRC or its Representatives
complete and correct copies of all written Contracts, together with all
amendments thereto, and accurate descriptions of all oral Contracts, listed on
Schedules 4.13, 4.14 and 4.16 hereto or required to be listed thereon. All of
the Contracts are valid and in full force and effect and Computec has duly
performed all of its obligations under each Contract to the extent those
obligations have accrued and no default, violation or breach by Computec under
any Contract has occurred which affects the enforceability of such Contract or
any parties' rights thereunder.

4.17 Employment Matters.

(a) Schedule 4.17 hereto sets forth a complete and
correct list of all the names, current annual rates of salary, bonuses,
employee benefits, accrued vacation times, sick pay and other compensation,
date of hire and location of all the present employees, contractors and agents
of Computec who provide services in connection with the Business. Except as
set forth on Schedule 4.17 hereto, none of such persons has received or will
receive an increase in salary or other compensation from Computec prior to the
third business day after the Closing Date. Except as set forth on Schedule
4.17 hereto, there are no employment or consulting contracts or arrangements,
including pensions, bonus or profit sharing plans, or other severance or
termination contracts or arrangements which constitute contractual obligations
of Computec not terminable on 30 calendar days or less. There are no
collective bargaining agreements with any union or other bargaining group for
any of Computec's employees, nor is Computec aware of any efforts by its
employees or contractors to organize or participate in any of the foregoing.
To Computec's and the Lancashires' knowledge, no employee or contractor is in
violation of any of its obligations to, or any employment agreement with, a
prior employer. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.17 hereto, no key employee
or contractor of Computec has left Computec since the Balance Sheet Date and no
current key employee or consultant has indicated any present or

20
<PAGE> 26
future intention to terminate his or her employment with Computec. Computec
has made available to DPRC true and correct copies of all performance reviews
conducted of the persons set forth on Schedule 4.17.

(b) Computec has complied with all provision of Law
pertaining to the employment and terminating of employees, the hiring and
terminating of contractors, and the immigration of foreign nationals,
including, without limitation all such Laws relating to labor relations, equal
employment practices, fair employment practices, entitlements, prohibited
discrimination, terms and conditions of employment, wages and hours,
independent contractor classification, withholding requirements or other
similar employment or hiring practices or acts, and Computec is not engaged in
any unfair labor practices and is not a party to any Action involving a
violation or alleged violation of any of any of the foregoing Laws. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Computec has complied in all respects
with the WARN Act, COBRA, the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, and
the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, including, without limitation,
completing a Form I-9 for every employee of Computec, and maintaining all such
Form I-9(s) and related information in accordance with such acts. Except as
set forth on Schedule 4.6 hereto, no employee, contractor or governmental
agency or authority has brought or threatened an Action against Computec with
respect to any matter arising out of, relating to or in connection with such
employee's or contractor's employment by Computec.

4.18 Employee Benefits.

(a) Schedule 4.18 hereto contains a complete and accurate
list of all Employee Benefit Plans maintained, or contributed to, by Computec.

at the Effective Time, they will deliver detailed statements describing their
objections to DPRC within 30 days after receiving DPRC's Auditor's computations
and working papers reflecting how such computations were made. The parties
will use their reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections. If, however,
the parties do not obtain final resolution of this matter within 30 days after
DPRC has received the statements of objections, the dispute shall be referred
to the Accountant within 15 days following such 30-day period. The
Accountant's determination of the amount of Computec Adjusted Working Capital
at the Effective Time and Computec Adjusted Net Worth at the Effective Time
shall be rendered by the Accountant in a writing setting forth in reasonable
specificity the reasons for each conclusion reached in its decision. The
Accountant's determination shall be binding upon all parties. However, in the
event that the decision of the Accountant is clearly erroneous, as determined
in accordance with applicable procedures set forth in Section 11.3, below, then
the decision of the Accountant may be vacated or corrected in the same manner
as provided for in California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1286.2 or 1286.6
for any such error. DPRC and the Shareholders shall use their best efforts,
and shall cause DPRC's Auditor and Shareholder's Auditor, respectively, to aid
the Accountant in reaching a decision within 30 days from the date the dispute
is tendered to the Accountant. DPRC and the Shareholders will share
responsibility for the fees and expenses of the Accountant based on the degree
to which the Accountant accepts the respective positions of the parties, as
conclusively determined by the Accountant.

(b) If either Computec Adjusted Working Capital at the
Effective Time is less than $2.5 million, or Computec Adjusted Net Worth at the
Effective Time is less than $2.6 million, then, in such event, the Lancashires,
jointly and severally, shall pay to DPRC within 10 business days of such
determination a cash amount equal to the greater of the following:

(i) The difference between $2.5 million and
Computec Adjusted Working Capital at the Effective Time; and

(ii) The difference between $2.6 million and
Computec Adjusted Net Worth at the Effective Time.

<PAGE> 39
(c) If, however, each of Computec Adjusted Working
Capital at the Effective Time is more than $3.3 million, or Computec Adjusted
Net Worth at the Effective Time is more than $3.7 million, then, in such event,
Purchaser shall pay to the Shareholders within 10 business days of such
determination a cash amount equal to one-half (1/2) of the greater of the
following:

(i) The difference between $3.3 million and
Computec Adjusted Working Capital at the Effective Time; and

(ii) The difference between $3.7 million and
Computec Adjusted Net Worth at the Effective Time.

8.3 Indemnification Obligations.

(a) Indemnification by the Lancashires. In addition to
the agreements set forth in Article 10, below, the Lancashires, jointly and
severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless DPRC, the Surviving
Corporation and any of their affiliates and their respective Representatives
and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns
(collectively, the "DPRC Representatives"), and shall reimburse DPRC, the
Surviving Corporation and any of their affiliates and the DPRC Representatives,
on demand, for any Damages resulting from any of the following:

(i) Any breach or default in the performance by
the Shareholders or Computec of any covenant or agreement of the Shareholders
or Computec contained herein, in any agreement contemplated hereby, or in any
Schedule or Exhibit hereto or thereto, or in any certificate or other
instrument delivered or to be delivered by or on behalf of the Shareholders or
Computec pursuant hereto or thereto;

(ii) Any breach of warranty or inaccurate or
erroneous representation made by the Shareholders or Computec herein, in any
agreement contemplated hereby, or in any Schedule or Exhibit hereto or thereto,
or in any certificate or other instrument delivered or to be delivered by or on
behalf of the Shareholders or Computec pursuant hereto or thereto;

(iii) The operation of the Business through and
including the Effective Time, except for (A) any and all liabilities,
obligations and commitments of Computec relating exclusively to the Business
and that are (1) reflected on the Balance Sheet, or (2) incurred after the
Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of business consistent with prior
practice and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (B) any and
all liabilities, obligations and commitments of Computec arising out of the
Contracts, but not including any liability, obligation or commitment of
Computec for any breach thereof by Computec or a predecessor-in-interest
occurring prior to the Effective Time;

34
<PAGE> 40
(iv) Without limiting the generality of
subparagraph (iii), above, any failure by Computec to be duly qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation or in good standing in any jurisdiction; and

(v) Without limiting the generality of
subparagraph (iii), above, any failure by Computec to maintain workers'
compensation insurance in any jurisdiction.

(b) Indemnification by DPRC. In addition to the
agreements set forth in Article 10, below, DPRC shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the Shareholders, and any of their respective Representatives,
and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns
(collectively, the "Shareholder Representatives"), and shall reimburse the
Shareholders and the Shareholder Representatives, on demand, for any Damages
resulting from any of the following:

(i) Any breach or default in the performance by
DPRC or Acquisition of any covenant or agreement of DPRC or Acquisition
contained herein, in any agreement contemplated hereby, or in any Schedule or
Exhibit hereto or thereto, or in any certificate or other instrument delivered
or to be delivered by or on behalf of DPRC or Acquisition pursuant hereto or
thereto;

(ii) Any breach of warranty or inaccurate or
erroneous representation made by DPRC or Acquisition herein, in any agreement
contemplated hereby, or in any Schedule or Exhibit hereto or thereto, or in any
certificate or other instrument delivered or to be delivered by or on behalf of
DPRC or Acquisition pursuant hereto or thereto;

(iii) The operation of the Business after the
Effective Time, except to the extent that such Damages arise out of the
negligent, reckless or wilful misconduct of any of the Shareholders or the
Shareholder Representatives; or

(iv) Without limiting the generality of
subparagraph (iii), above, any and all Computec Taxes attributable to
operations of the Business after the Effective Time.

(c) Claims for Indemnity. Whenever a claim for Damages
shall arise for which one party ("Indemnitee") shall be entitled to
indemnification hereunder, Indemnitee shall notify the other party
("Indemnitor") in writing within 30 days of the first receipt of notice of such
claim, and in any event within such shorter period as may be necessary for
Indemnitor to take appropriate action to resist such claim. Such notice shall
specify all facts known to Indemnitee giving rise to such indemnity rights and
shall estimate the amount of the liability arising therefrom. The right of
Indemnitee to indemnification and the estimated amount thereof, as set forth in
this notice, shall be deemed agreed to by Indemnitor unless, within 30 days
after the mailing of such notice, Indemnitor shall notify Indemnitee in writing
that it disputes the right of Indemnitee to indemnification, or that Indemnitor
elects to defend such claim in the manner provided in Section 8.3(d), below.
If Indemnitee shall be duly notified of such dispute, the dispute shall be
resolved in accordance with Section 11.3, below.

35
<PAGE> 41
(d) Defense of Claims. Upon receipt by Indemnitor of a
notice from Indemnitee with respect to any claim of a third party against
Indemnitee, and acknowledgment by Indemnitor (whether after resolution of a
dispute or otherwise) of Indemnitee's right to indemnification hereunder with
respect to such claim, Indemnitor shall assume the defense of such claim with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee and Indemnitee shall cooperate to
the extent reasonably requested by Indemnitor in defense or prosecution thereof
and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend all such
conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be
reasonably requested by Indemnitor in connection therewith. If Indemnitor
shall acknowledge Indemnitee's right to indemnification and elect to assume the
defense of such claim, Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own
counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of Indemnitee. If Indemnitor has assumed the defense of any claim
against Indemnitee, Indemnitor shall have the right to settle any claim for
which indemnification has been sought and is available hereunder; provided
that, to the extent that such settlement requires Indemnitee to take, or
prohibits Indemnitee from taking, any action or purports to obligate
Indemnitee, then Indemnitor shall not settle such claim without the prior
written consent of Indemnitee. If Indemnitor does not assume the defense of a
third party claim and disputes Indemnitee's right to indemnification,
Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim
through counsel of its choice, at Indemnitor's expense, and Indemnitee shall
have control over the litigation and authority to resolve such claim subject to
this Section 8.3. If the Lancashires, as the indemnifying party, fail to give
written notice to DPRC, as the indemnified party, of the Lancashires' intention
to contest or settle any such claim within 20 calendar days after DPRC has
notified the Lancashires that any such claim has been made in writing and
received by DPRC, or if any such notice is given but any such claim is not
properly contested by the Lancashires, notwithstanding any provision herein to
the contrary, DPRC shall have the right to satisfy and discharge the same by
payment, compromise or otherwise, in accordance with the procedures set forth
in the Escrow Agreement. DPRC's rights, benefits and privileges, and the
Lancashires' liabilities, obligations and commitments, under and pursuant to
the Escrow Agreement are more specifically described therein and incorporated
herein by this reference.

(e) Limitations on Warranty Claims. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Sections 8.3(a) and (b), above, Indemnitor shall
not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee for any Damages caused by or arising
out of, and Indemnitee shall not be entitled to make any claim for Damages due
to, any breach of warranty or inaccurate or erroneous representation made by
Indemnitor herein (other than representations and warranties with respect to
Computec Taxes and ownership of the Computec Stock), in any agreement
contemplated hereby, or in any Schedule or Exhibit hereto or thereto, or in any
certificate or other instrument delivered or to be delivered by or on behalf of
Indemnitor pursuant hereto or thereto (collectively, "Warranty Claims"), unless
and until the amount of all of such Indemnitee's claims for Damages caused by
or arising out of Warranty Claims, in the aggregate, shall be equal to
$200,000, in which case Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover all Damages
incurred by Indemnitee in excess of $200,000; provided, however, that if the
amount of all of such Indemnitee's claims for Damages caused by or arising out
of Warranty Claims, in the aggregate, shall be equal to or exceed

36
<PAGE> 42
$250,000, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover all Damages incurred by
Indemnitee, including such initial $250,000 in Damages.

(f) Defense of Claimed Breaches. For purposes of this
Section, any assertion of fact and/or law by a third party which, if true,
would constitute a breach of a representation or warranty made by a party to
this Agreement shall, on the date that assertion is made, be deemed a breach of
such representation or warranty and immediately invoke that party's obligation
to protect, defend, hold harmless and indemnify the other party to this
Agreement.

8.4 DPRC's Right of Offset. If DPRC incurs any Damages for which
it is entitled to indemnification from the Lancashires under this Agreement,
DPRC may, at its option and without prejudice to any right of DPRC to proceed
directly against the Lancashires under Section 8.3, above, apply all or any
part of the Additional Cash Consideration that is payable to the Lancashires
(specifically excluding herein any portion of the Additional Cash Consideration
that is payable to the Trustee) in order to pay, or to provide for the payment
of, any of such Damages. The exercise of wuch right of offset by DPRC
hereunder shall be evidenced by such means of a notice to such effect given by
DPRC to the Lancashires. Upon the exercise by DPRC of its right to offset
hereunder, (a) the amount to which DPRC is entitled to offset shall be, and is
deemed to be, applied in reduction of, and shall constitute a payment of, the
amounts due under Sections 3.2, above, to the extent specified in the notice of
offset, and (b) a number of the Escrowed Shares shall be released to the
Lancashires from the Escrow Account (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) such
that the number of such Escrowed Shares when multiplied by the Share Price (as
defined in the Escrow Agreement) shall be as close as practicable to (without
exceeding) the amount of the Additional Cash Consideration being offset
hereunder.

8.5 Tax-Free Treatment; Charges to Income. None of the parties
shall take any action, directly or indirectly, that would prevent the Merger
from qualifying as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the
Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither of the
Lancashires shall, directly or indirectly, sell or engage in any transaction
which may result in a change in the legal, beneficial or record ownership of
the Shareholders' Shares, or any interest therein, including, without
limitation, a voluntary or involuntary sale, assignment, transfer, option,
pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, disposal, loan, gift, attachment or levy (a
"Transfer"), without first obtaining the prior written consent of DPRC to the
Transfer, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld by DPRC. Neither of
the Lancashires shall make any Transfer of the Shareholders' Shares to an
employee or former employee of the Surviving Corporation for compensatory
purposes.

8.6 Board Representation. At the next meeting of the Board of
Directors of DPRC (the "Board") after the Effective Date, DPRC will increase
the authorized number of members of the Board from five to seven and will cause
C. Lancashire to be elected to the Board. DPRC shall nominate C. Lancashire as
a director to stand for election at DPRC's next annual meeting of stockholders.
During the 1997 and 1998 calendar years, DPRC shall also nominate and elect C.
Lancashire and Jeffery Estep as directors of the Surviving Corporation.

37
<PAGE> 43
8.7 Computec Reorganizations. During the 1997 and 1998 calendar
years, DPRC shall not merge, reorganize or consolidate Computec, or cause
Computec to enter into any type of reorganization, merger, consolidation or
similar type of transaction, without obtaining the prior written consent of C.
Lancashire, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, DPRC acknowledges and agrees that any such consent by C.
Lancashire may be conditioned on a requirement that DPRC take all actions
reasonably necessary to ensure that there will be no adverse impact on DPRC's
ability to determine, or the Shareholders' ability to earn, the Additional
Consideration (e.g., continuing to account for the Business of Computec on a
stand-alone basis without regard to, or the integration of, the business being
reorganized, merged or consolidated with or into Computec).

8.8 Stock Options. At the Closing Date, each of the persons set
forth on Schedule 8.8 hereto shall be granted, under DPRC's 1994 Stock Option
Plan, as amended, options to purchase the number of shares of DPRC Common
Shares set forth opposite such person's name on Schedule 8.8 hereto. The
exercise price of each such option shall be the fair market value of the DPRC
Common Shares at the Closing Date. On or before each of January 1, 1998 and
January 1, 1999, DPRC shall use its best efforts to grant to the employees of
the Surviving Corporation to be designated by C. Lancashire, under DPRC's 1994
Stock Option Plan, as amended, or any successor or similar plan thereto,
options to purchase shares of DPRC Common Shares, as more specifically set
forth on Schedule 8.8 hereto. The exercise price of each such option shall be
the fair market value of the DPRC Common Shares on the date of grant.

8.9 Certain Covenants with Customers. Each of the parties
acknowledges that DPRC, DPRC's affiliates and Computec have, or may have,
entered into agreements with customers prohibiting or otherwise restricting
DPRC, DPRC's affiliates and/or Computec from entering into similar agreements
or arrangements with customers competing or engaged in similar businesses with
such customers of DPRC, DPRC's affiliates or Computec (the "Restrictive
Covenants"). Each of DPRC, the Surviving Corporation and the Lancashires agree
to use their reasonable best efforts to mitigate the impact, if any, that a
Restrictive Covenant has or may have on the Surviving Corporation's, DPRC's or
DPRC's affiliates' ability to conduct their respective businesses.

8.10 Payments by the Surviving Corporation. On the terms and
subject to the conditions of Schedule 1.1(b) hereto, the Surviving Corporation
shall pay the Third Party Payments. The Surviving Corporation acknowledges
that a dividend in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($500,000.00) has been declared in favor of the Lancashires but remains unpaid
as of the date hereof. The Surviving Corporation shall pay the Lancashires the
dividend as follows: (a) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars within
60 days after the Effective Time; (b) One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand and
No/100 Dollars ($125,000.00) within 150 days after the Effective Time; and (c)
One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($125,000.00) within 240
days after the Effective Time.

38
<PAGE> 44
8.11 Further Assurances. Each of the parties, at any time on or
after the Closing Date, will execute, acknowledge and deliver any further
documents and instruments that may be reasonably requested by the other party,
for the purpose of consummating the Merger.

8.12 Expenses. The Lancashires will be solely responsible for and
bear all of their and Computec's respective cost and expenses, including,
without limitation, expenses of legal counsel, accountants, brokers, finders
and other advisors, incurred in connection with evaluating, negotiating and
consummating the proposed transaction incident to this Agreement. DPRC will be
solely responsible for and bear all of its cost and expenses, including,
without limitation, expenses of legal counsel, accountants, brokers, finders
and other advisors, incurred in connection with evaluating, negotiating and
consummating the proposed transaction incident to this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, DPRC shall be solely responsible for
and bear any commission payable to W.E. Myers & Company in connection with the
consummation of this transaction.

ARTICLE 9
COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE

9.1 Non-Compete Covenant. The Lancashires agree that, from the
Effective Time and ending on the third anniversary thereof (the "Non-Compete
Period"), the Lancashires will not, without the prior written consent of DPRC,
directly or indirectly, in the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia
(the "Territory"), own, manage, finance, operate, join, control or participate
in the ownership, management, financing, operation or control of, or be
employed or connected in any manner with, any business that competes with the
Business; provided, however, that, with respect to each of the Lancashires, the
Non-Compete Period shall extend from the Effective Time through the third
anniversary of the termination of his or her C. Lancashire Employment Agreement
or Executive Employment Agreement, respectively.

9.2 Definition of Compete. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "compete" shall mean (a) calling on, soliciting or taking away, as a
client or customer any individual, partnership, corporation or association that
is a client or customer of DPRC, the Surviving Corporation or Computec, or was
a client or customer of DPRC, the Surviving Corporation or Computec during the
36 calendar month period immediately preceding any such act for the purpose of
competing with DPRC, the Surviving Corporation or Computec; (b) hiring,
soliciting, taking away or attempting to hire, solicit or take away any
employee of DPRC or the Surviving Corporation either on behalf of itself or any
other person or entity; or (c) entering into or attempting to enter into any
business substantially similar to or competing in any way with the Business
within the Territory, either alone or with any individual, partnership,
corporation or association.

9.3 Direct or Indirect Competition. For purposes of this
Agreement, the words "directly or indirectly" as they modify the word "compete"
shall mean (a) acting as an agent, representative, consultant, officer,
director, independent contractor or employee of any entity

39
<PAGE> 45
or enterprise, which is competing (as defined in Section 9.2, above) with the
Business; (b) participating in any such competing entity or enterprise, or the
affiliate of such entity or enterprise, as an owner, partner, limited partner,
joint venturer, creditor or shareholder (except as a shareholder holding less
than a two percent interest in a corporation whose shares are actively traded
on a regional or a national securities exchanged or in the over-the-counter
market); or (c) communicating to any such competing entity or enterprise the
names or addresses or any other information concerning any past, present or
identified prospective client or customer of DPRC or the Surviving Corporation.

9.4 Confidential Data. The Shareholders agree that, during the
Non-Compete Period, and thereafter, each of them will keep confidential and not
directly or indirectly divulge, furnish, make accessible to third parties, or
appropriate for their own use any confidential information of DPRC or the
Surviving Corporation, and that at no time will either of them divulge, furnish
and make accessible to third parties or appropriate for their own use any trade
secrets of DPRC or the Surviving Corporation. Each of the Shareholders further
acknowledges and agrees that DPRC and the Surviving Corporation have a
legitimate interest in protecting proprietary customer information from
misappropriation or diversion by the Shareholders or any competitor. The
Shareholders hereby acknowledge and agree that the prohibitions against
disclosure of confidential data recited herein are in addition to, and not in
lieu of, any rights or remedies which DPRC or the Surviving Corporation may
have available pursuant to the Laws of any jurisdiction or at common law to
prevent the disclosure of trade secrets and other confidential proprietary
data, and the enforcement by DPRC or the Surviving Corporation of their rights
and remedies pursuant to this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of
any other rights or available remedies which it may possess in Law or equity
absent this Agreement.

9.5 Reasonableness of Restrictions. The Lancashires recognize
that the territorial and time limitations set forth in Section 9.1, above, are
reasonable, not burdensome and are properly required by Law for the adequate
protection of DPRC and the Surviving Corporation, and in the event that such
territorial or time limitations are deemed to be unreasonable by a court of
competent jurisdiction, then the Lancashires, DPRC and the Surviving
Corporation agree and submit to the reduction of either said territorial or
time limitation, or both, to such an area or period as said court shall deem
reasonable.

9.6 Injunctive Relief. The Lancashires acknowledge that their
expertise in the Business is of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and
intellectual character, which gives said expertise a peculiar value, and that a
breach by either or all of them of the provisions of this Agreement cannot be
reasonably or adequately compensated in Damages in an Action at Law and that
such breach will cause DPRC and the Surviving Corporation irreparable injury
and damage. The Lancashires further acknowledge that each of them possesses
unique skills, knowledge and ability that competition in violation of this
Agreement would be extremely detrimental to DPRC and the Surviving Corporation.
By reason thereof, the Lancashires agree that DPRC and the Surviving
Corporation shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies each of them
may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to temporary, preliminary and/or
permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any
breach of this

40
<PAGE> 46
Agreement, without proof of actual damages that have been or may be caused to
DPRC or the Surviving Corporation by such breach or threatened breach;
provided, however, that no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal
or equitable remedy shall be construed as a waiver or prohibition against the
pursuing of other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach, by
either party.

ARTICLE 10
TAXES

10.1 Tax Indemnity. From and after the Effective Time, the
Lancashires shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless DPRC and
the Surviving Corporation against the following Computec Taxes and, against any
Damages incurred in contesting or otherwise in connection with any such
Computec Taxes: (a) Computec Taxes imposed on any Shareholder or Computec with
respect to taxable years or periods ending on or before the Effective Time; (b)
with respect to taxable years or periods beginning before the Effective Time
and ending after the Effective Time, Computec Taxes imposed on any Shareholder
or Computec which are allocable, pursuant to Section 10.2, below, to the
portion of such taxable year or period ending on the Effective Time (an
"Interim Period") (Interim Periods and any taxable years or periods that end on
or prior to the Effective Time being referred to collectively hereinafter as
"Pre-Effective Periods"); (c) Computec Taxes imposed on any member of any
affiliated group (other than Computec) with which any Shareholder files or has
filed a Tax Return on a consolidated, combined or unitary basis for a taxable
year or period ending on or before the Effective Time; (d) Computec Taxes
required to be paid or reimbursed by any Shareholder under Section 10.4 or
Section 10.5, below (to the extent such Computec Taxes have not been paid by
such Shareholder); (e) Computec Taxes or additional Computec Taxes imposed on
DPRC or the Surviving Corporation as a result of a breach of the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.21 of this Agreement or
of the covenants contained in this Article 10; (f) Computec Taxes or other
payments required to be made after the Effective Time by the Surviving
Corporation to any party under any Tax sharing, indemnity or allocation
agreement (whether or not written); or (g) any foreign or United States
federal, state or local income or franchise taxes imposed on the Surviving
Corporation under Section 1374(a) of the Code (or any similar state or local
income or franchise tax provision) as a result of the transactions contemplated
hereunder. DPRC has been advised by the DPRC Auditor that it shall not be
required to file an amended Tax Return with respect to the reclassification of
recruiting expenses in connection with the annual Financial Statements attached
as Schedule 4.8 hereto. Accordingly, to the extent that DPRC files an amended
Tax Return with respect to such reclassification, DPRC shall be responsible
for, and neither of the Lancashires shall be required to indemnify DPRC for,
any Computec Taxes arising out of such amended Tax Return.

10.2 Apportionment of Computec Taxes. In order to apportion
appropriately any Computec Taxes relating to any taxable year or period that
includes an Interim Period, the parties shall, to the extent permitted under
applicable Law, elect with the relevant tax authority to treat for all
purposes, the Effective Time as the last day of the taxable year or period of

41
<PAGE> 47
Computec, and such Interim Period shall be treated as a short taxable year and
a Pre-Effective Period for purposes of this Article 10. In any case where
applicable Law does not permit Computec to treat the Effective Time as the last
day of the taxable year or period of Computec with respect to Computec Taxes
that are payable with respect to an Interim Period, the portion of any such
Computec Tax that is allocable to the portion of the Interim Period ending on
the Effective Time shall be:

(a) In the case of Computec Taxes that are either (i)
based upon or related to income or receipts, or (ii) imposed in connection with
any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal,
tangible or intangible) (other than conveyances pursuant to this Agreement,
which are covered under Section 10.5, below), deemed equal to the amount which
would be payable if the taxable year or period ended on the Effective Time
(except that, solely for purposes of determining the marginal tax rate
applicable to income or receipts during such period in a jurisdiction in which
such tax rate depends upon the level of income or receipts, annualized income
or receipts may be taken into account, if appropriate, for an equitable sharing
of such Computec Taxes); and

(b) In the case of Computec Taxes not described in
subparagraph (a), above, that are imposed on a periodic basis and measured by
the level of any item, deemed to be the amount of such taxes for the entire
period (or, in the case of such Computec Taxes determined on an arrears basis,
the amount of such Computec Taxes for the immediately preceding period)
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days
in the Interim Period ending on the Effective Time and the denominator of which
is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant period.

10.3 Termination of Computec's S Corporation Status and Taxable
Year. Computec terminated its status as an S corporation, effective April 3,
1997. Pursuant to section 1362(e)(1) of the Code, Computec shall have two
short taxable years for United States federal income tax purposes for the year
that includes the Effective Time, an "S short year" beginning January 1 of such
year and ending April 3, 1997 and a "C short year" beginning on the next day
and ending on the Effective Time. The Lancashires shall cause Computec to
elect and shall consent, pursuant to section 1362(e)(3) of the Code, to
allocate tax items to Computec's S short year and C short year pursuant to
normal tax accounting rules (the "closing of the books method"). The
allocation of such items shall be done on a basis consistent with Computec's
past accounting practice and in a manner satisfactory to DPRC.

10.4 Preparation of Tax Returns. The Shareholders shall prepare
and file or otherwise furnish to the appropriate party (or cause to be prepared
and filed or so furnished) in a timely manner the United States federal income
tax return of Computec for Computec's S short year. In addition, Shareholders
shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, any and all other
Tax Returns for, including or required to be filed by Computec for any taxable
year or period ending on or before the Effective Time, or the due date of which
(including extensions) is on or prior to the Effective Time. All such Tax
Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior Tax Returns of
Computec, unless otherwise required under applicable

42
<PAGE> 48
Law. The Shareholders shall timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) all
Computec Taxes shown as due and owing on all such Tax Returns. DPRC shall
prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed any and all other Tax
Returns for, including or required to be filed by Computec for any taxable year
or period ending after the Effective Date or the due date of which (including
extensions) is after the Effective Time; provided, however, that any such Tax
Returns that include an Interim Period shall be prepared in a manner that is
consistent with applicable Law and the past practices of Computec. Subject to
its right to indemnification under this Article 10, DPRC shall pay (or cause to
be paid) all Computec Taxes shown as due and owing on all such Tax Returns.
The Shareholders, the Surviving Corporation and DPRC shall reasonably
cooperate, and shall cause their respective affiliates, officers, employees,
agents, auditors and other representatives reasonably to cooperate, in
preparing and filing all Tax Returns, including maintaining and making
available to each other all records necessary in connection with Computec Taxes
and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable periods
relating to Computec Taxes. DPRC, the Surviving Corporation and each
Shareholder recognize that each Shareholder and the agents and other
representatives of each Shareholder will need access, from time to time, after
the Effective Time, to certain accounting and Computec Tax records and
information held by Computec to the extent such records and information pertain
to events occurring prior to the Effective Time; therefore, each of DPRC and
the Surviving Corporation agrees (i) to use its best efforts to properly retain
and maintain such records until such time as all Shareholders agree that such
retention and maintenance is no longer necessary (but in no event longer than
six years after the Effective Time), and (ii) to allow each Shareholder and the
agents of each Shareholder and other representatives, at times and dates
mutually acceptable to the parties, to inspect, review and make copies of such
records as Shareholders, their agents and other representatives may deem
necessary or appropriate from time to time, such activities to be conducted
during normal business hours and at the Shareholders' expense.

10.5 Transfer and Conveyance Taxes. The Lancashires shall be
jointly and severally liable for and shall pay all applicable sales, transfer,
recording, deed, stamp and other similar taxes, including, without limitation,
any real property transfer or gains taxes (if any), resulting from the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.6 Contests. DPRC shall promptly notify the Shareholders in
writing of any written notice of a proposed assessment or claim in an audit or
administrative or judicial proceeding involving the Surviving Corporation
which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer, would be grounds for
indemnification under this Article 10; provided, however, that a failure to
give such notice will not affect DPRC's or the Surviving Corporation's right to
indemnification hereunder, except to the extent, if any, that, but for such
failure, the Shareholders could have avoided the tax liability in question.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any such assessment or audit
in any taxable year prior to the Effective Time will give rise to an offsetting
benefit in a tax year beginning after the Effective Time, then that item will
be offset and the Lancashires will not be liable for such additional tax. In
the case of an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding that relates to
any Pre-Effective Period, provided that within 30 days after each Shareholder
receives the written notice from DPRC required under this Article 10 and prior
to

43
<PAGE> 49
taking any action with respect to such audit or administrative or judicial
proceeding, such Shareholder acknowledges in writing his or its liability under
this Article 10 to hold DPRC and the Surviving Corporation harmless against the
full amount of any adjustment which may be made as a result of such audit or
proceeding, such Shareholder, together with all other such Shareholders, shall
have the right at its, his or her own expense to control the conduct of such
audit or proceeding; provided, however, that such Shareholders shall not settle
or otherwise compromise any issue or matter without DPRC's prior written
consent if such issue or matter will have a material affect on the liability
for Computec Taxes of DPRC or the Surviving Corporation for a post-Effective
Time taxable year or period (or for an Interim Period). DPRC also may
participate in any such audit or proceeding at its own expense and, if no
Shareholder assumes the defense of any such audit or proceeding, DPRC may,
without any effect to its or the Surviving Corporation's right to
indemnification under this Article 10, defend the same in such manner as it may
deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such audit or
proceeding. If a Shareholder does not assume the defense of such audit or
proceeding and disputes DPRC's right to indemnification, such Shareholder shall
have the right to participate in the defense of such claim through counsel of
its choice, at such Shareholder's expense, but DPRC shall have control over the
litigation and authority to resolve such claim as stated herein.

10.7 Time of Payment. Payment of any amounts due under this
Article 10 in respect of Computec Taxes shall be made by each Shareholder at
least three business days before the due date of the applicable estimated or
final Tax Return required to be filed by DPRC on which is required to be
reported income for an Interim Period for which such Shareholder is responsible
under Sections 10.4 or 10.5 of this Agreement without regard to whether the Tax
Return shows overall net income or loss for such period, or, with respect to
indemnity payments due under Section 10.1 of this Agreement, within three
business days following a settlement or compromise of an assessment of a Tax by
a taxing authority or a "determination" as defined in Section 1313(a) of the
Code. If liability under this Article 10 is in respect of costs or expenses
other than Computec Taxes, payment by the Shareholders of any amounts due under
this Article 10 shall be made within five business days after the date that the
Shareholders have been notified by DPRC that the Shareholders have liability
for a determinable amount under this Article 10 and are provided with
calculations or other materials supporting such liability.

(a) Termination of the Shareholders' Indemnity
Obligations for Computec Taxes. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the
contrary, the obligations of the Shareholders to indemnify and hold harmless
DPRC and the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Article 10 shall terminate
at the close of business on the 120th day following the expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations with respect to the liability for Computec
Taxes in question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension
thereof).

(b) Tax Elections. From and after the Closing Date, the
Shareholders shall not, without the prior written consent of DPRC, which may
not unreasonably withhold such consent, make or revoke, or cause or permit to
be made or revoked, any election with respect to Computec Taxes, or adopt or
change any method of accounting, that would adversely affect Computec.

44
<PAGE> 50
(c) Tax Sharing Agreements. As of the Effective Time,
any and all tax sharing, indemnity or allocation agreements shall terminate as
between Computec on the one hand, and the Shareholders, on the other hand, and,
after the Effective Time, no Computec Taxes or other amounts shall be paid or
reimbursed by the Surviving Corporation under any such agreement, regardless of
the taxable year or period for which such Computec Taxes are imposed, and the
provisions of this Article 10 shall govern thereafter.

ARTICLE 11
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

11.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the
agreements referred to herein and in the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and
thereto, set forth the entire agreement between the parties with regard to the
subject matter of this Agreement. All agreements, covenants, representations
and warranties, express or implied, oral and written, of the parties with
regard to the subject matter of this Agreement are contained in this Agreement,
in the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement, and the documents referred to
or implementing the provisions of this Agreement. This is an integrated
agreement.

11.2 Governing Law. The validity, construction and performance of
this Agreement, and any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
any of the Ancillary Agreements, shall be governed by the Laws, without regard
to the Laws as to choice or conflict of Laws, of the State of California.

11.3 Dispute Resolution. Except to the extent that a specific
dispute resolution mechanism is specified in this Agreement, the parties agree
that all controversies or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or the Ancillary Agreements shall be resolved as follows:

(a) The parties will first attempt in good faith to
promptly resolve any such controversy or claim by negotiations between senior
executives of such parties who have the actual authority to settle the
controversy. The disputing party shall give the other party and, if
applicable, the Escrow Agent, written notice of the dispute. Within 20 days
after receipt of such notice, the receiving party shall submit to the other
and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent, a written response. The notice and
response shall include (i) a statement of each party's position and a summary
of the evidence and arguments supporting its position, and (ii) the name and
title of the executive who will represent that party. The executive shall meet
at a mutually acceptable time and place within 30 days of the date of the
disputing party's notice and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem
necessary to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the
dispute.

(b) If the matter has not been resolved by the disputing
parties within 60 days after the disputing party's notice, or if the party
receiving such notice will not agree to meet with the disputing party within 30
days after its receipt of such notice, either party may initiate

45
<PAGE> 51
mediation of the controversy or claim in accordance with the Commercial
Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

(c) If the matter has not been resolved pursuant to the
mediation procedure referred to in Section 11.3(b), above, within 60 days of
the initiation of such procedure, or if either party will not participate in a
mediation, then the aggrieved party may, by notice as herein provided, require
that the dispute be submitted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then in effect, provided, further,
that the arbitration provisions of this Agreement shall govern over any
conflicting rules which may now or hereafter be contained in the AAA rules. To
the extent, and only to the extent, that the particular dispute is to be
determined by arbitration hereunder, each party knowingly waives that party's
right to a jury trial with respect to such dispute by agreeing to the
resolution of such dispute by arbitration pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement.

(i) Binding Affect. No later than 60 days from
the date of closing of the arbitration hearing, or, if an oral hearing has been
waived, from the date of transmitting final statements and proofs to the
arbitrator, the arbitrator shall prepare and provide to the parties a written
decision (the "Decision") on all matter(s) which are the subject of the
arbitration, including the findings of fact and the conclusions of law which
are the basis of the Decision of the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the
authority to grant any equitable and legal remedies that would be available in
any judicial proceeding by a Judge of the Superior Court of the County of Los
Angeles in a non-jury trial; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not
have the power to grant punitive damages. Any judgment upon the award rendered
by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the
subject matter thereof. The Decision shall be binding upon the parties.
However, in the event that the arbitrator shall commit a clear error of law or
legal reasoning in the Decision, the Decision and award may be vacated or
corrected in the same manner as provided for in California Code of Civil
Procedure Sections 1286.2 or 1286.6 for any such error.

(ii) Compensation of Arbitrator. Any such
arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator who will be
compensated for his or her services at a rate to be determined by the parties
and by the AAA, but based upon reasonable hourly or daily consulting rates for
the arbitrator in the event the parties are not able to agree upon his or her
rate of compensation.

(iii) Selection of Arbitrator. The parties shall
use their best efforts to agree upon a mutually satisfactory arbitrator. If,
however, the parties are unable to agree upon the arbitrator, then the AAA
shall have the authority to select an arbitrator from a list of arbitrators who
are partners in a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public
accountants from the management advisory services department (or comparable
department or group) of such firm or who are partners in a major law firm;
provided, however, that neither the accounting firm, law firm nor the
individual arbitrator shall be a firm or individual that has within the last
three years rendered, or is then rendering, services to any party or, also in
the case of a law firm, a firm or an individual lawyer, who has appeared, or is
then appearing, as

46
<PAGE> 52
counsel of record in opposition to any party; provided, further, that the
individual arbitrator cannot have any other prior relationship or affiliation
to the disputing parties or any of their officers, directors or employees which
is likely to affect or compromise the arbitrator's independence.

(iv) Limited Discovery. The parties shall be
permitted reasonable discover under the rules set by the arbitrator. The
arbitrator shall have power to impose such sanctions as the arbitrator deems
appropriate for failure of a party or counsel for a party to comply in good
faith with the discovery rules established by the arbitrator.

(v) Payment of Costs. The parties will share
responsibility for the attorneys' fees and costs and all costs of arbitration,
including those provided for above, based on the degree to which the arbitrator
accepts the respective positions of the parties, as conclusively determined by
the arbitrator.

(vi) Terms of Arbitration. The arbitrator chosen
in accordance with these provisions shall not have the power to alter, amend or
otherwise affect the terms of these arbitration provisions, or any other
documents that are executed in connection therewith.

Negotiation, mediation or arbitration under this Section 11.3(c) shall be the
sole and exclusive remedy of the parties for any claim arising out of this
Agreement for which a specific dispute resolution or mechanism is not otherwise
applicable, provided, however, that a party may seek a preliminary injunction
or other preliminary relief if in its judgment such Action is necessary to
avoid irreparable damages. Any such Action may only be brought in the Superior
Court for the County of Los Angeles County, California. Despite such Action,
the parties will continue to participate in good faith in the procedures
specified in this Section 11.3.

11.4 Interpretation. The language in all parts of this Agreement
and each of the other Ancillary Agreements shall be in all cases construed
simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party.
Whenever the context requires, all words used in the singular will be construed
to have been used in the plural, and vice versa, and each gender will include
any other gender. The captions of the Sections and Subsections of this
Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction or
interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. All information of
a party contained in such party's Schedules hereto shall be deemed integrated
into and disclosed in all of such party's other Schedules, without the
necessity of any cross reference.

11.5 Waiver and Amendment. This Agreement may be amended,
supplemented, modified and/or rescinded only through an express written
instrument signed by all parties or their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Any party may specifically and expressly waive in writing any portion
of this Agreement or any breach hereof, but only to the extent such provision
is for the benefit of the waiving party, and no such waiver shall constitute a
further or continuing waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same
or any other provision. The consent by one party to any act for which such
consent was required shall not be deemed

47
<PAGE> 53
to imply consent or waiver of the necessity of obtaining such consent for the
same or similar acts in the future, and no forbearance by a party to seek a
remedy for noncompliance or breach by another party shall be construed as a
waiver of any right or remedy with respect to such noncompliance or breach.

11.6 Assignment. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this
Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any interest herein shall be assignable
(voluntarily, involuntarily, by judicial process, operation of Law or
otherwise), in whole or in part, by any party without the prior written consent
of all other parties. Any attempt at such an assignment without such consent
shall be void and, at the option of the non-consenting party, shall be an
incurable breach of this Agreement resulting in the termination of this
Agreement.

11.7 Successors and Assigns. Each of the terms, provisions and
obligations of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit
of, and shall be enforceable by the parties and their respective legal
representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

11.8 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications made under this Agreement shall be in writing, correctly
addressed to the recipient at the addresses set forth below and shall be deemed
to have been duly given; (a) upon delivery, if served personally on the party
to whom notice is to be given; or (b) on the date or receipt, refusal or
non-delivery indicated on the receipt if mailed to the party to whom notice is
to be given by first class mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, or
by air courier.

EXHIBIT 3

ESCROW AGREEMENT

This ESCROW AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered to as of this
29th day of April 1997, by and among Data Processing Resources Corporation, a
California corporation ("DPRC"), Christopher W. Lancashire, an individual ("C.
Lancashire"), Alicia R. Lancashire, an individual ("A. Lancashire"), and U.S.
Trust Company of California, N.A. (the "Escrow Agent"). C. Lancashire and A.
Lancashire are collectively referred to herein as the "Shareholders" and
sometimes individually referred to as a "Shareholder".

R E C I T A L S

A. DPRC, DPRC Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of DPRC ("Acquisition"), Computec International
Strategic Resources, Inc., a California corporation ("Computec"), the
Shareholders, and Merrill Lynch Trust Company of California, a California
corporation, as Trustee of The Lancashire Charitable Remainder Unitrust, have
entered into a Agreement and Plan of Merger dated of even date herewith (the
"Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Computec is merging with and into
Acquisition.

B. All capitalized terms used herein but which are not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

C. Section 3.5 of the Merger Agreement provides for certain of the
Shareholders' Shares to be placed in an escrow account to secure certain
indemnification obligations of the Shareholders to DPRC under Section 8.3 of the
Merger Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein
(the "Escrow").

A G R E E M E N T

In consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants and
conditions contained herein, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree
as follows:

1. Establishment of Escrow; Account

1.1 Deposit in Escrow. Within one business day after DPRC receives
written certification from the California Secretary of State of the filing of
the Merger Documents with the California Secretary of State, DPRC, on behalf of
the Shareholders, shall deposit with the Escrow Agent, a number of the
Shareholders' Shares equal to one-half (1/2) of the Initial DPRC Shares, minus a
number of the Initial DPRC Shares which when multiplied by the DPRC Average
Closing Price, equals One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000), issued in the
name of the Shareholders by delivering to the Escrow Agent one or more duly
authorized stock certificates for such Shareholders' Shares registered in the
name of the Shareholders. The Shareholders' Shares so deposited are referred to
herein as the "Initial Escrowed Shares." Any shares of DPRC capital stock that
results from any stock dividend, reclassification, stock split, subdivision or
combination of shares, recapitalization, merger or other events generally made
with respect to the DPRC Common Shares ("Additional Shares") shall be delivered
to the Escrow

<PAGE> 2
Agent and shall be held in the Escrow Account (and, as required under this
Agreement, shall be released from the Escrow Account). Unless otherwise
indicated, as used in this Agreement, the term "Escrowed Shares" includes the
Initial Escrowed Shares and any Additional Shares. The Escrow Agent agrees to
accept delivery of the Escrowed Shares and to hold such Escrowed Shares in
Escrow in accordance with this Agreement and to release the Escrowed Shares out
of Escrow as provided in this Agreement.

1.2 Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent shall maintain the Escrowed
Shares in a separate account (the "Escrow Account").

1.3 Dividends; Voting and Rights of Ownership. Any cash dividends,
dividends payable in property or other distributions of any kind (except for
Additional Shares) made in respect of the Escrowed Shares shall be distributed
currently by DPRC to the Shareholders. The Shareholders shall have the right to
vote the Escrowed Shares deposited in the Escrow Account to the account of the
Shareholders during such time that the Escrowed Shares are held in Escrow, and
DPRC shall take all steps necessary to allow the exercise of such rights. While
the Escrowed Shares remain in the Escrow Agent's possession pursuant to this
Agreement, the Shareholders will retain and shall be able to exercise all other
incidents of ownership of the Escrowed Shares that are not inconsistent with the
terms and conditions hereof or the Merger Agreement.

2. Release from Escrow.

2.1 Release of Escrowed Shares to the Shareholders. The Escrowed
Shares, less (a) any Escrowed Shares delivered to DPRC in accordance with
Section 2.3, below in satisfaction of Claims (as defined in Section 3.2, below)
by DPRC, and (b) any Escrowed Shares subject to delivery to DPRC in accordance
with Section 3, below, with respect to any then pending, but unresolved Claims
by DPRC, shall be released by the Escrow Agent to the Shareholders as soon as
possible after the first of the following, but in no event later than five
business days after the conditions for such release are satisfied (the "Final
Release Date"): (i) the second anniversary of the Effective Time, (ii) as soon
as possible after the termination of the employment of C. Lancashire by DPRC
without cause under the C. Lancashire Employment Agreement, and (iii) DPRC's
failure to pay any Additional Consideration as and when payable under the Merger
Agreement, and such failure to pay is not cured by DPRC within 10 business days
after its receipt of written notice from the Shareholders of such failure to
pay. Upon the resolution of any Claim referred to in the foregoing clause (b),
the Escrowed Shares that were subject to the Claim shall be promptly released by
the Escrow Agent to DPRC or to the Shareholders as determined pursuant to the
resolution of the Claim and in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2 Distribution to the Shareholders. The Escrowed Shares shall be
held by the Escrow Agent until required to be released to either the
Shareholders or DPRC as provided

2
<PAGE> 3
for in Sections 2.1 and 2.3. Within 10 business days after the first to occur
of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 2.1, above, DPRC and the Shareholders
shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice (a "Release Notice") setting
forth the number of Escrowed Shares to be released (the "Released Escrowed
Shares") and stating the number of Released Escrowed Shares to be released to
the Shareholders. The Released Escrowed Shares are to be released to the
Shareholders, and the payment to be made to the Shareholders in lieu of
fractional shares, if any (as indicated below in this Section 2.2) shall be
sent to the address to which the Released Escrowed Shares are to be delivered.
Within five business days after receipt of the Release Notice, the Escrow Agent
shall deliver (by registered mail or overnight carrier) to the Shareholders the
number of Escrowed Shares specified in the Release Notice and shall pay by
check to the Shareholders the amount payable in lieu of fractional shares, if
any. Within five business days after the conditions for the release of any
Released Escrowed Shares have been satisfied, DPRC shall (a) take such action
as may be necessary to cause a stock certificate to be issued in the name of
the Shareholders bearing any legends required by the Merger Agreement and shall
provide such certificate to the Escrow Agent, and (b) deposit with the Escrow
Agent sufficient funds to pay the cash amount for fractional shares. Cash
shall be paid in lieu of fractions of Released Escrowed Shares in an amount
equal to the product determined by multiplying such fraction by the average
closing price per share of DPRC Common Shares as publicly reported for the
Nasdaq Stock Market over the period of 20 trading days ending the trading day
immediately before the Final Release Date (the "Share Price"). The Escrow
Agent shall not be required to deliver the Released Escrowed Shares to the
Shareholders following the satisfaction of all release conditions until it has
received the Release Notice from DPRC and the Shareholders. The Escrow Agent
shall not be required to invest the funds deposited with it for payment in lieu
of fractional shares, but will make such investment arrangements as are
expressly requested in writing by DPRC to the extent reasonable.

2.3 Release of Escrowed Shares to DPRC. Within five business days
after resolution of any Claim in accordance with Section 3, below, DPRC and the
Shareholders shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Release Notice setting forth
the number of Escrowed Shares equal to the amount, if any, deemed to be owing to
DPRC pursuant to the resolution of the Claim divided by the Share Price
(determined pursuant to Section 2.2, above, treating the fifth day after the
resolution of the Claim as the Final Release Date). In lieu of any fractional
shares, any fraction of a share that would otherwise be released shall be
rounded to the nearest whole share. Within five business days after receipt of
such Release Notice, or if no such Release Notice is received, then within 10
calendar days after receipt of any DPRC Demand provided for in Section 3.4(a),
below, or a DPRC Distribution Notice as provided for in Section 3.4(b), below
(unless the Shareholders give the Escrow Agent written notice within such 10-day
period that the Shareholders object to the DPRC Demand or Distribution Notice as
provided in Section 3.4(a) or 3.4(b), below, as the case may be), the Escrow
Agent and DPRC shall cause the transfer agent for DPRC Common Shares (the
"Transfer Agent") to cancel the number of Escrowed Shares to be released
pursuant to this Section 2.3 and reissue certificates for Escrowed Shares that
are to be either distributed to the Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.2, above,
or retained by the Escrow

3
<PAGE> 4
Agent in Escrow as Escrowed Shares. Any Escrowed Shares released from Escrow
to DPRC shall be subject to cancellation by DPRC, without requiring DPRC to pay
any consideration whatsoever in receipt thereof to the Shareholders.

2.4 No Encumbrance. Subject to Section 8.5 of the Merger Agreement,
except for sales of Escrowed Shares permitted pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement, and then only to the extent that the proceeds of such sale are
deposited in the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2.6(a), below, as if such
proceeds were Escrowed Shares, no Escrowed Shares or any beneficial interest
therein may be pledged, sold, assigned or transferred, including by operation of
Law, by a Shareholder or may be taken or reached by any legal or equitable
process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of a Shareholder, prior
to the delivery of the Escrowed Shares by the Escrow Agent to a Shareholder
pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2, above.

2.5 Power to Transfer Escrowed Shares. The Escrow Agent is hereby
granted the power to effect any transfer of the Escrowed Shares provided for in
this Agreement. DPRC will cooperate with the Escrow Agent in causing the
Transfer Agent to promptly issue stock certificates to effect such transfers.

2.6 Cash in Lieu of Escrowed Shares.

(a) In General. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, at any time during the term of this Agreement, a Shareholder shall
have the right to require the Escrow Agent to release any or all of the Escrowed
Shares to such Shareholder upon such time that such Shareholder has deposited in
immediately available funds with the Escrow Agent an amount equal to the
applicable Share Price (determined pursuant to Section 2.2, above, treating the
date of such Shareholder's payment to the Escrow Agent as the Initial or Final
Release Date) of any or all of the Escrowed Shares to be released to such
Shareholder (the "Cash Deposit"). As soon as possible after such Shareholder
has made the Cash Deposit, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Cash Deposit in the
Escrow Account and release the Escrowed Shares so paid for. The Cash Deposit,
together with any and all remaining Escrowed Shares, shall thereafter secure, or
continue to secure, the indemnification obligations of the Shareholders to DPRC
under Section 8.3 of the Merger Agreement on the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement. DPRC shall have the same recourse against the
Cash Deposit as it would have had against the Escrowed Shares so paid for, and
the Shareholders shall have the same rights in and to the Cash Deposit as they
otherwise would have had with respect to the Escrowed Shares so paid for.

(b) Investments. The Escrow Agent shall invest and reinvest the
Cash Deposit and any interest received thereon at the joint written direction of
DPRC and the Shareholders in (i) marketable securities issued or guaranteed by
the United States of America or any of its agencies, (ii) commercial paper
issued by a United States corporation having the highest rating obtainable from
either Standard & Poor's Corporation or Moody's Investors

<PAGE> 5
Service, Inc. or their respective successors (or comparable ratings if such
rating systems are changed or similar rating services substituted therefor),
(iii) certificates of deposit of banks or trust companies incorporated and
doing business under the Laws of the United States of America or one of the
states thereof, each having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$14,000,000, or (iv) bankers' acceptances and other bills of exchange of the
kind and maturities made eligible, pursuant to Law, for purchase in the open
market by Federal Reserve Banks, provided the accepting bank is a member of the
Federal Reserve System and has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 (all such marketable securities, commercial paper, certificates of
deposit, time deposits, bankers' acceptances and bills of exchange being herein
collectively called "Investments"); provided, however, that all such
investments shall have maturities no later than 30 days after the date of
purchase thereof; the Escrow Agent may register any securities held in its own
name or in the name of a nominee or in bearer form and may deposit any
securities or other property in a depository or a clearing corporation.

(c) Prior to Release. At such time that DPRC shall be entitled
hereunder to a Release of the Escrowed Shares, before any of such Escrowed
Shares may be released to DPRC, the Escrow Agent shall first provide the
Shareholders with written notice of DPRC's right to such release and the
Shareholders shall then have the right, within 10 business days of the
Shareholders' receipt of such notice, to pay in immediately available funds to
the Escrow Agent an amount equal to the applicable Share Price of any or all of
its proportionate number (i.e., the number of shares which would have been
distributable to the Shareholders in the absence of a Claim) of Escrowed Shares.
As soon as possible after the Shareholders have made such payment, the Escrow
Agent shall promptly distribute to DPRC the cash payment received for the
Shareholders with respect to such Escrowed Shares in full and final satisfaction
of the Escrowed Shares that would otherwise have been released to DPRC. If no
such payment is made by the Shareholders, or if the Shareholders only makes a
payment with respect to a portion of the eligible Escrowed Shares, the Escrowed
Shares, or the remaining portion thereof, shall be promptly released to DPRC on
the terms and subject to the other conditions of this Agreement. Any Escrowed
Shares with respect to which such a payment is made by the Shareholders shall be
promptly delivered to the Shareholders.

2.7 Release Upon Offset by DPRC. Upon such time, if ever, that DPRC
exercises its right of offset under Section 8.4 of the Merger Agreement, DPRC
shall so notify the Escrow Agent and instruct the Escrow Agent to immediately
release to the Shareholders a number of the Escrowed Shares such that the number
of such released Escrowed Shares when multiplied by the Share Price shall be as
close as practicable to (without exceeding) the amount of the Additional Cash
Consideration being offset by DPRC thereunder.

3. Resolution of Claims.

3.1 Indemnification Obligations. The Escrowed Shares shall serve as
security only for the indemnity obligations of the Shareholders under Section
8.3 of the Merger

5
<PAGE> 6
Agreement. Payment for any amount determined as provided below to be owing to
DPRC under such indemnity obligations ("Damages") shall be made by releasing to
DPRC Escrowed Shares as provided in this Agreement. To the extent the Escrowed
Shares are insufficient to fully compensate DPRC for the Damages, DPRC shall be
entitled to all of its other rights pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

3.2 Notice of Claims. Promptly after receipt by DPRC of notice or
discovery of any claim, damage or legal action or proceeding giving rise to
indemnification rights under the Merger Agreement (a "Claim"), DPRC shall give
the Shareholders written notice of such Claim pursuant to Section 8.3 of the
Merger Agreement and shall provide a copy of such notice to the Escrow Agent.
Each notice of a Claim by DPRC (the "Notice of Claim") shall be in writing and
shall be delivered on or before the Final Release Date.

3.3 No Release to DPRC Until Resolution. DPRC shall not request the
Escrow Agent to release to DPRC any of the Escrowed Shares held in the Escrow
Account pursuant to a Notice of Claim until such Claim has been resolved in
accordance with Section 3.4, below.

3.4 Resolution of Claims. Any Notice of Claim received by the
Shareholders and the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 3.2, above, shall be
resolved as follows:

(a) Uncontested Claims. If the Shareholders do not contest a
Notice of Claim in writing in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Merger
Agreement, DPRC may deliver to the Escrow Agent, with a copy to the
Shareholders, a written demand by DPRC (a "DPRC Demand") stating that a Notice
of Claim had been given as required in the Merger Agreement and that no Notice
of Contest has been received from the Shareholders during the period specified
in the Merger Agreement and further stating the number of Escrowed Shares to be
withheld from release to the Shareholders or to be released to DPRC in
accordance with this Section 3.4(a). The Escrow Agent shall within 20 calendar
days after receipt of such DPRC Demand, release to DPRC for cancellation that
number of Escrowed Shares having a value (determined pursuant to Section 2.2,
above, treating the 30th calendar day after the date of the Notice of Claim as
the Final Release Date) equal to the amount of Damages specified in the Notice
of Claim and shall notify the Shareholders of such transfer. It is provided,
however, that within 20 calendar days after receipt of the DPRC Demand, the
Shareholders may object to DPRC's calculation of the number of Escrowed Shares
to be released to DPRC (but may not object to the validity or amount of the
Claim noticed in the Notice of Claim), whereupon, the Escrow Agent shall not
release the Escrowed Shares to DPRC until either (i) DPRC and the Shareholders
shall have given the Escrow Agent written notice as to the number of Escrowed
Shares to be released, or (ii) the matter is resolved as provided in Sections
3.4(b) and 3.4(c), below, provided that such objection shall not effect the
dates used to determine the Share Price pursuant to Section 2.2, above.

6
<PAGE> 7
(b) Contested Claims. If the Shareholders give written notice
contesting all or a portion of a Notice of Claim to DPRC and the Escrow Agent (a
"Contested Claim") within the 20-day period provided above, matters that are
subject to third party Claims brought against DPRC or the Shareholders in a
litigation or arbitration shall await the final decision, award or settlement of
such litigation or arbitration, while matters that arise between DPRC on the one
hand and the Shareholders on the other hand, including any disputes regarding
performance or non-performance of a party's obligations under this Agreement
("Disputed Claims") shall be settled in accordance with Section 3.4(c), below.
Any portion of the Notice of Claim that is not contested shall be resolved as
set forth above in Section 3.4(a), above. If notice is received by the Escrow
Agent that a Notice of Claim is contested by the Shareholders, then the Escrow
Agent shall hold in the Escrow Account, after what would otherwise be the Final
Release Date, Escrowed Shares having a value (determined pursuant to Section
2.2, above, as of the Final Release Date) sufficient to cover Damages alleged in
such Claim and to the earlier of (i) receipt of a settlement agreement executed
by DPRC and the Shareholders setting forth the resolution of the Notice of Claim
and setting forth the number of Escrowed Shares, if any, to be released to DPRC,
or (ii) receipt of a written notice from DPRC (a "DPRC Distribution Notice")
attaching a copy of the final award or decision of the Arbitrator and setting
forth the number of Escrowed Shares, if any, to be released to DPRC as a result
of such award (DPRC shall provide a copy of the DPRC Distribution Notice to the
Shareholders; if the award does not specify the number of Escrowed Shares to be
released, the Shareholders shall have 20 calendar days to object to the
calculation of the number of Escrowed Shares to be released, but not to the
award itself; in the event that the Escrow Agent receives any such objection
within such 20-day period, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to require that
the matter be resolved by a notice from both DPRC and the Shareholders or by a
clarification of the award.) If the Escrow Agent institutes an action for
interpleader in accordance with Section 4.6 of this Agreement as a result of a
dispute between the parties, the parties agree to jointly seek to stay such
interpleader action pending the resolution of any arbitration commenced by the
parties or, if the parties are unable to agree, pursuant to this Section 3.4(b)
and 3.4(c).

(c) Dispute Resolution. Any Disputed Claim, in any dispute
between the Shareholders and DPRC under this Agreement, shall be resolved in
accordance with Section 11.3 of the Merger Agreement.

4. Escrow Agent.

4.1 Duties. The duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall be
entirely administrative and not discretionary. The Escrow Agent shall be
obligated to act only in accordance with written instructions received by it as
provided in this Agreement and as authorized herewith to comply with any orders,
judgments or decrees of any court with or without jurisdiction and shall not be
liable as a result of its compliance with the same.

<PAGE> 8
4.2 Legal Opinions. As to any legal questions arising in connection
with the administration of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent may rely absolutely
upon the joint instruction of DPRC and the Shareholders or the opinions given to
the Escrow Agent by its outside counsel and shall be free of liability for
acting and relying on such opinions.

4.3 Signatures. The Escrow Agent may rely absolutely upon the
genuineness and authorization of the signature and purported signature of any
party upon any instruction, notice, release, receipt or other document delivered
to it pursuant to this Agreement.

4.4 Receipts and Releases. The Escrow Agent may, as a condition to
the disbursement of monies or disposition of securities as provided herein,
require from the payee or recipient a receipt therefor and, upon final payment
or disposition, a release of the Escrow Agent from any liability arising out of
its execution or performance of this Agreement. Such release to be in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Escrow Agent.

4.5 Refrain from Action. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
refrain from taking any action contemplated by this Agreement in the event it
becomes aware of any dispute between the Shareholders and DPRC as to any
material facts or as to the happening of any event, precedent to such action.

4.6 Interpleader. If any controversy arises between the parties or
with any third party, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to determine the
same or to take any action, but the Escrow Agent in its discretion may institute
such interpleader or other proceedings in connection therewith as the Escrow
Agent may deem proper, and in following such other course, the Escrow Agent
shall not be liable.

4.7 Tax Forms. All persons or entities entitled to receive interest
from the Escrow Account will provide the Escrow Agent with W-9 tax forms prior
to disbursement of interest. Interest earned in the Escrow Account will be
reported as income to the party receiving such interest.

5. Indemnity.

5.1 Waiver Indemnification. DPRC and the Shareholders agree to and
hereby do waive any suit, claim, demand or cause of action of any kind which
they may have or may assert against the Escrow Agent arising out of or relating
to the execution or performance by the Escrow Agent of this Agreement, in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, unless such suit, claim, demand
or cause of action is based upon the willful neglect or gross negligence or bad
faith of the Escrow Agent. They further agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent
against and from any and all claims, demands, costs, liabilities and expenses,
including reasonable counsel fees, which may be asserted against it or to which
it may be exposed or to which it may incur by reason of its execution or
performance of this Agreement, except to the extent

8
<PAGE> 9
attributable to its willful neglect, gross negligence or bad faith. Such
agreement to indemnify shall survive the termination of this Agreement until
extinguished by any applicable statue of limitations.

5.2 Conditions to Indemnification. In case any litigation is brought
against the Escrow Agent in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder,
the Escrow Agent shall give prompt notice of that litigation to the parties, and
the parties, upon receipt of that notice, shall have the obligation and the
right to assume the defense of such litigation, provided that failure of the
Escrow Agent to give the notice shall not relieve the parties from any of their
obligations under this Section 5 unless that failure prejudices the defense of
any of such litigation by said parties. The cost of defense of any such
litigation shall be borne by DPRC unless the litigation is brought by the Escrow
Agent by or on behalf of the Shareholders, in which case the cost of defense of
any such litigation shall be borne by the Shareholders. At its own expense, the
Escrow Agent may employ separate counsel and participate in the defense.
Parties shall not be liable for any settlement agreed to by the Escrow Agent
without the respective consents.

6. Acknowledgment by the Escrow Agent. By execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Escrow Agent acknowledges that the terms and provisions of this
Agreement are acceptable and agrees to carry out the provisions of this
Agreement on its part.

7. Resignation or Removal of Escrow Agent; Successor.

7.1 Resignation and Removal.

(a) The Escrow Agent may resign as such following the giving of
30 days' prior written notice to the other parties. Similarly, the Escrow Agent
may be removed and replaced following the giving of 30 calendar days' prior
written notice to be given to the Escrow Agent jointly by the Shareholders and
DPRC. In either event, the duties of the Escrow Agent shall terminate 30
calendar days after the date of such notice (or as of such earlier date as may
be mutually agreeable); and the Escrow Agent shall then deliver the balance of
the Escrowed Shares then in its possession to a successor Escrow Agent as shall
be appointed by the other parties as evidenced by a written notice filed with
the Escrow Agent.

(b) If the parties are unable to agree upon a successor, or
shall have failed to appoint a successor prior to the expiration of 30 calendar
days following the date of the notice of resignation or removal, then the acting
Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Escrow Agent or other appropriate relief and any such
resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties.

7.2 Successors. Every successor appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also to the Shareholders and
DPRC, an instrument

9
<PAGE> 10
in writing accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor,
without any further act, shall become fully vested with all the duties,
responsibilities and obligations of its predecessor; that such predecessor,
nevertheless, on the written request of its successor or any of the parties,
execute and deliver an instrument or instruments transferring to such successor
all the rights of such predecessor hereunder, and shall duly assign, transfer
and deliver all property, securities and monies held by it pursuant to this
Agreement to a successor (a "Successor Transfer"). Should any instrument be
required by any successor for more fully vesting in such successor, the duties,
responsibilities and obligations hereby vested or intended to be vested in the
predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on the request of
any of the other parties, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the
predecessor.

7.3 New Custodian. In the event of an appointment of a successor,
upon the consummation of the Successor Transfer, the predecessor shall cease to
be custodian of any funds, securities or other assets and records previously
held by it pursuant to this Agreement, and the successor shall become such
custodian.

7.4 Release. Upon acknowledgment by any successor Escrow Agent of
the receipt of the then remaining balance of the Escrowed Shares, the then
acting Escrow Agent shall be fully released and relieved of all duties,
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement that may arise and accrue
thereafter.

8. Fee. The Escrow Agent shall be paid for service hereunder in
accordance with the fee schedule attached hereto as Schedule A. Payment of all
fees shall be shared equally by DPRC and the Shareholders. In the event that
the Escrow Agent is made a party to litigation with respect to the property held
hereunder, or brings an action in interpleader, or in the event that the
conditions to this Escrow are not promptly fulfilled, or the Escrow Agent is
required to render any service not provided for in this Agreement and fee
schedule, or there is any assignment of the interest of this Escrow or any
modification hereof, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to receive from the
party requesting the service, assignment or amendment reasonable compensation
for such extraordinary services and reimbursement for all fees, costs, liability
and expenses, including attorneys' fee.

9. Termination. This Agreement and the Escrow created hereby shall
terminate following the Escrow Agent's delivery of all remaining Escrowed Shares
to either the Shareholders and/or DPRC pursuant to Section 2, above.

10. Miscellaneous Provisions.

this Agreement, and any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement
shall be governed by the Laws, without regard to the Laws as to choice or
conflict of Laws, of the State of California.

<PAGE> 11
10.2 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified
and/or rescinded only through an express written instrument signed by all
parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns.

otherwise), in whole or in part, by DPRC or the Shareholders without the prior
written consent of the other.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered
into as of this 29th day of April 1997, by and between Data Processing Resources
Corporation, a California corporation (the "Company"), Christopher W.
Lancashire, an individual ("C. Lancashire"), and Alicia R. Lancashire, an
individual ("A. Lancashire"). C. Lancashire and A. Lancashire are collectively
referred to herein as the "Lancashires."

R E C I T A L S

A. The Company, DPRC Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Acquisition"), Computec International
Strategic Resources, Inc., a California corporation ("Computec"), the
Lancashires, and the other shareholder of Computec have entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated of even date herewith (the "Merger
Agreement"), pursuant to which Computec is merging with and into Acquisition.

B. The Company has issued to the Lancashires 679,292 shares of the common
stock of the Company (the "Initial DPRC Shares") in connection with the merger
pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the terms of the Merger Agreement require
the Company to provide the Lancashires certain registration rights with respect
to the Initial DPRC Shares.

C. The Company may also issue to the Lancashires additional shares of the
common stock of the Company (the "Additional DPRC Shares") in connection with
the merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the terms of the Merger
Agreement require the Company to provide the Lancashires certain registration
rights with respect to the Additional DPRC Shares.

A G R E E M E N T

In consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants and
conditions contained herein, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree
as follows:

Section 1. Certain Definitions. In addition to the other terms defined
elsewhere in this Agreement, as used in this Agreement, the following terms
shall have the following respective meanings:

a. "ACT" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

b. "COMMISSION" shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission or
any other federal agency at the time administering the Act.

c. "HOLDER" means the Lancashires and any person beneficially owning
Registerable Securities through permitted assignment thereof in accordance with
Section 9, below.

d. "REGISTERABLE SECURITIES" means the Initial DPRC Shares, the
Additional DPRC Shares and any shares of the Company's common stock issued as a
dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in
replacement of the Initial DPRC

<PAGE> 2
Shares and the Additional DPRC Shares, excluding any Registerable Securities
sold by a person in a transaction in which his rights under this Agreement are
not assigned; provided further that shares which would otherwise constitute
Registerable Securities shall cease to do so once they have been sold to the
public.

e. The terms "REGISTER," "REGISTERED" and "REGISTRATION" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in
compliance with the Act and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such
registration statement.

Section 2. Demand Registration. If the Company shall receive from any
Holder or Holders at any time after the first anniversary of the date of this
Agreement, a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration
with the Commission with respect to all or part of the Registrable Securities
owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:

a. promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all
other Holders; and

b. subject to Section 3, below, and Section 8.5 of the Merger
Agreement, as soon as practicable, use its reasonable best efforts to effect
such registration as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the
sale and distribution of all or a portion of such Holder's Registrable
Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion
of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such
request as are specified in a written request given 10 days after receipt of
such written notice from the Company. The Company may, if permitted by law,
effect any such registration on Form S-3 or any successor or similar short form
registration statement (or Form S-1 or any other available form if Form S-3 is
not available).

Section 3. Limitations on Registration. The Company shall not be required
to prepare and file a registration statement pursuant to Section 2, above, (a)
which would become effective within six months following the effective date of a
registration statement (other than a registration statement filed on Form S-8 or
any successor form) filed by the Company with the Commission pertaining to an
underwritten public offering of securities, (b) if the Company in good faith
gives written notice to the Holders of the Registerable Securities stating that
in the good faith judgment of a majority of the board of directors it would be
detrimental to the Company or its shareholders for a registration statement to
be filed in the near future, in which case the Company's obligation to use its
best efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred for a period not
to exceed 135 days; provided, however, that the Company shall not obtain such a
deferral more than one time in any 12 month period, (c) if the Holders, together
with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to be included
in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and other
securities of the Company (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less
than $1 million, (d) if in any given 12-month period, the Company has effected a
registration pursuant to Section 2, above, at the request of a Holder, or (e)
which is effected more than three years after the date of this Agreement. If a
requested registration pursuant to Section 2, above, involves an underwritten
offering, and the managing underwriter shall advise the Company in writing that,
in its opinion, the number of securities

<PAGE> 3
requested to be included in such registration (including securities of the
Company which are not Registerable Securities) exceeds the maximum dollar
amount or number that can be sold in such offering without materially adversely
affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method or
the probability of success of such offering (the "Maximum Number of Demand
Shares"), then the Company shall include in any such registration to the extent
of the Maximum Number of Demand Shares which the Company is so advised can be
sold in such offering (i) first, Registerable Securities requested to be
included in such registration by the Holder or Holders of Registerable
Securities pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the number of
Registerable Securities requested to be included by such Holders, and (ii)
second, to the extent the Maximum Number of Demand Shares has not been reached
under the foregoing clause (i), other securities of the Company proposed to be
included in such registration without exceeding the Maximum Number of Demand
Shares, in accordance with the priorities, if any, then existing among the
Company and the holders of such other securities.

Section 4. Incidental Registration. If, at any time and from time to time
during a period commencing on the first anniversary of the date of this
Agreement and ending on the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the
Company shall propose to register in a public offering any of its common stock
(whether for the Company's account or for the account of other shareholders) to
be offered for cash pursuant thereto (other than a registration statement (a) on
Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or any substitute or successor form that may be adopted by
the Commission), (b) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other
benefit plan, (c) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the
Company's existing shareholders, or (d) for a dividend reinvestment plan), it
shall give written notice (the "Company's Notice") to all Holders of
Registerable Securities of its intention to do so at least 30 days prior to the
anticipated filing date. If any Holder of Registerable Securities desires to
dispose of all or part of such Holder's Registerable Securities, it may request
registration thereof in connection with the Company's registration by delivering
to the Company, within 10 days after receipt of the Company's Notice, written
notice of such request (the "Holder's Notice") stating the number of shares of
Registerable Securities to be included. The Company shall use its best efforts
to cause all shares specified in the Holder's Notices to be registered under the
Act so as to permit the sale or other disposition by such Holder or Holders of
the shares so registered, subject however, to the limitations set forth in
Section 5, below.

Section 5. Limitations on Incidental Registration. If the managing
underwriter or underwriters for registration under Section 4, above, advises the
Company and the Holders requesting inclusion in such registration in writing,
that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities and other
shares of common stock or securities to be included in the offering exceeds the
maximum dollar amount or number that can be sold in such offering without
adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution
method or the probability of success of such offering (the "Maximum Number of
Shares"), then the Company shall include in such registration:

a. if the registration is a primary offering for the Company, (i)
first, the shares of common stock or other securities that the Company proposes
to sell which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii)
second, to the extent the Maximum

<PAGE> 4
Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the
shares of common stock or other securities requested to be included in such
registration by other shareholders with registration rights granted prior to
the date hereof which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of
Shares (allocated pro rata among such other shareholders, as nearly as
practicable, on the basis of the number of shares of common stock or other
securities requested to be included in such offering by such other
shareholders); and (iii) third, to the extent the Maximum Number of Shares has
not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Registrable
Securities and shares of common stock or other securities requested to be
included in such registration by the Holders and other shareholders with
registration rights which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of
Shares (allocated pro rata among such Holders and other shareholders, as nearly
as practicable, on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities
and common stock or other securities requested to be included in such offering
by the Holders and such other shareholders); and

b. if the registration is for a secondary offering for any of the
Company's securityholders, (i) first, if the registration was requested by other
shareholders with demand registration rights, then the shares of common stock or
other securities that such other shareholders have requested to be included in
such offering which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares;
(ii) second, to the extent the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached
under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of common stock or other securities
requested to be included in such registration by other shareholders with
registration rights granted prior to the date hereof which can be sold without
exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares (allocated pro rata among such other
shareholders, as nearly as practicable, on the basis of the number of shares of
common stock or other securities requested to be included in such offering by
such other shareholders); and (iii) third, to the extent the Maximum Number of
Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the
Registrable Securities and shares of common stock or other securities requested
to be included in such registration by the Holders and other shareholders with
registration rights which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of
Shares (allocated pro rata among such Holders and other shareholders, as nearly
as practicable, on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities
and common stock or other securities requested to be included in such offering
by the Holders and such other shareholders).

Section 6. Registration Procedures.

a. If and when the Company is required by the provisions of this
Agreement to use its best efforts to effect the registration of shares of

amount of time so that all of such securities can be disposed of in accordance
with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set
forth in such registration statement;

(iii) Furnish to the Holders such reasonable number of copies
of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such
other documents as the Holders may reasonably request to facilitate the public
offering of the Registerable Securities;

(iv) Use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky

request; provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to qualify to do
business in such jurisdiction or consent to general service of process in such
jurisdiction, or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction;

(v) Notify counsel for the Holders, promptly after it shall
receive notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has become

(vi) Notify counsel for the Holders promptly of any request by
the Commission for the amending or supplementing of such registration statement
or prospectus or for additional information;

(vii) Prepare and file with the Commission, promptly upon the
request of the Holders, any amendments or supplements to such registration

Holders (and reasonably concurred in by counsel for the Company), is required
under the Act or the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the
distribution of the Registrable Securities;

(viii) Prepare and promptly file with the Commission and
promptly notify counsel for the Holders of the filing of such amendment or
supplement to any such registration statement or prospectus as may be necessary
to correct any statements or omissions if, at the time when a prospectus
relating to the Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the
Act, any event shall have occurred as the result of which any such prospectus or
any other prospectus as then in effect would include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading;

(ix) Advise counsel for the Holders, promptly after it shall
receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by
the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement under
the Act or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and

obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

(x) Use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable
Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or over-the-counter market

applications and pay all required fees in connection with such listings; and

(xi) Cooperate with Holders in effecting the transfer of any
shares sold pursuant to a registration effected hereunder.

Section 7. Expenses of Registration. Except as provided below, all of the
expenses incurred by the Company in effecting any registration requested
pursuant to Section 2, above, including, without limitation, all registration
and filing fees, printing expenses, expenses of compliance with Blue Sky laws
(including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of underwriters counsel
relating thereto), fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and
expenses of any audits incidental to or required by any such registration
("Registration Expenses") shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that
the participating Holders shall reimburse the Company for up to $10,000 of such
Registration Expenses within 10 days after receipt of an invoice from the
Company describing such Registration Expenses in reasonable detail; and
provided, further, that if other shareholders with registration rights are
included in such registration, the Registration Expenses shall be allocated pro
rata among the participating Holders and each of such other shareholders of the
Company, as nearly as practicable, on the basis of the fair market value of
Registrable Securities, common stock and other securities of the Company
requested by the Holders and such other shareholders of the Company to be
included in such registration, but in no event shall the participating Holders'
share of the expenses exceed $10,000. Except as provided below, all
Registration Expenses incurred by the Company in effecting any registration
requested pursuant to Section 4, above, shall be borne by the Company. In
either event, notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, the
Company shall have no obligation to pay or otherwise bear (a) any underwriting
discounts or brokerage fees or commissions relating to the sale of Registerable
Securities by the Holders, or (b) any Registration Expenses if the payment of
such expenses by the Company is prohibited by the laws of a state in which such
offering is qualified and only to the extent so prohibited, or (c) any expenses
of any compliance with Blue Sky laws which pertains only to an individual
Holder, or (d) any fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holders.

Section 8. Indemnification.

(a) The Company will indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Holder,
its officers, directors, partners, legal counsel and accountants, and each
person who controls a Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act,
against any and all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in
settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based
on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document, or any amendment or supplement thereof, incident to any registration
or qualification of the Registrable Securities, or which arise out of or are
based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any
violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act or
any state securities laws applicable to the Company and relating

<PAGE> 7
to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such
registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each such
indemnified party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim,
loss, damage, liability or action. The Company also shall indemnify any
underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers, directors, partners,
members and agents and each person who controls such underwriters on
substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Holders
provided in this Section 8(a).

The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage or liability or any
action in respect thereof if such settlement is effected without the consent of
the Company, nor shall the Company be liable to any Holder or its officers,
directors, partners, members or agents in any such case for any loss, claim,
damage, liability or any action in respect thereof to the extent that it arises
solely from or is based solely upon and is in conformity with written
information relating to such Holder furnished expressly for use in connection
with such registration by such Holder or its agents, nor shall the Company be
liable to any Holder for any such loss, claim, damage or liability or any action
in respect thereof to the extent it arises solely from or is based solely upon
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the
Registrable Securities delivered by such Holder after the Company had provided
written notice to such Holder that such registration statement or prospectus
contained such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact,
(ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
after the Company had provided written notice to such Holder that such
registration statement or prospectus contained such omission or alleged
omission, or (iii) the failure of such Holder to deliver any preliminary or
final prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, required under
applicable securities laws, including the Act, to be so delivered, provided that
a sufficient number of copies thereof had been timely provided by the Company to
such Holder.

(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder
are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or
compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, and each of its officers,
directors, legal counsel and accountants, and each person who controls the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against all claims, losses,
damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based
on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or
other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or any violation by the Holder of any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Act or any state securities laws applicable to the Holder
and relating to action or inaction required by the Holder in connection with any
such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each such
indemnified person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that
such untrue statement (or alleged omission) is made in such registration
statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished

<PAGE> 8
to the Company by an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of such Holder
and stated to be specifically for use therein. Each Holder shall also
indemnify and hold harmless any underwriter of the Registrable Securities,
their officers, directors, partners, members and agents and each person who
controls such underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of the
indemnification of the Company provided in this Section 8(b).

(c) Each person to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 8 (the
"Indemnified Party") will, promptly after its receipt of written notice of the
commencement of any action against such Indemnified Party in respect of which
indemnity may be sought from an indemnifying person under this Section 8 (the
"Indemnifying Party") notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the
commencement thereof, provided, however, that the failure of any person to give
notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such Indemnifying
Party is actually materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure to give
notice. If any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and
it shall notify an Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the
Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it
may desire, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party,
and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not be
liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 8 for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation unless (a) the
Indemnified Party shall have employed counsel in an action in which the
Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party are both defendants and there is a
conflict of interest between such parties that would prevent counsel from
adequately representing both parties, (b) the Indemnifying Party shall not have
employed counsel satisfactory within the exercise of reasonable judgment of the
Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time
after the notice of the commencement of the action, or (c) the Indemnifying
Party has authorized the employment of counsel for the Indemnified Party at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party. The undertaking contained in this Section
8(c) shall be in addition to any liabilities which the Indemnifying Party may
have pursuant to law.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is held by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with
respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein,
then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party
thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying
Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection
with the statements, actions or omissions which resulted in such loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the
Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.

Company to register securities granted to a Holder under Sections 2 and 4,
above, may be transferred or assigned by such Holder to a transferee or assignee

compliance with Section 8.5 of the Merger Agreement, provided that: (a) such
transfer or assignment may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable
securities laws, (b) prompt written notice of such transfer or assignment is
given to the Company, and (c) such transferee or assignee expressly agrees in

shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase
of, or otherwise dispose of any Registerable Securities (other than those
included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Company
or such underwriters, as the case may be, during the 14 days prior to, and
during the 120-day period beginning on, the effective date of the registration
statement relating to such offering (except as part of such registration
statement). In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registerable Securities until the
end of such period.

Section 12. Amendment. Any modification, amendment, or waiver of this
Agreement or any provision hereof shall be effective only if in writing and
executed by the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities and
the Company.

respects by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts
of laws principles.

provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be
binding upon, the successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors and
administrators of the parties.

Section 15. Notices. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be made in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

Section 16. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
judicially determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and
entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the
subject matter hereof.

Section 18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one instrument.

Section 19. Termination of Registration Rights. The rights of any Holder
to request registration or inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 2
or 4, above, shall terminate on the date that all Registrable Securities held by
such Holder may be sold under Commission Rule 144 during any 90-day period.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this Agreement as of
the date first set forth above.
