Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion with respect to the additional 1,000,000
shares of common stock (the "Stock Option Shares") of Data Processing Resources
Corporation, a California corporation (the "Company"), remaining to be issued
upon the exercise of stock options granted, or to be granted, under the 1994
Stock Option Plan, As Amended (the "Stock Option Plan").
The Stock Option Shares are the subject of a Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), to which this opinion is attached as an
exhibit, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission")
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
We have examined (i) the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended
and restated and currently in effect, (ii) the Company's Bylaws, as amended to
date, (iii) the Stock Option Plan, (iv) the Registration Statement and (v) the
originals or copies, certified to our satisfaction, of such records, documents,
certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary
or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. We have also
examined the records of corporate proceedings taken in connection with the
adoption and amendment of the Stock Option Plan.
Based upon the foregoing examinations and subject to compliance with the
applicable state securities and "blue sky" laws, we are of the opinion that the
Stock Option Shares, when offered, sold and paid for pursuant to the exercise of
stock options granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, will be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Riordan & McKinzie
