                                                                 Page 25 of 40

     Mr. Karmanos, Mr. Thewes, Mr. Lobsinger, Mr. Prowse, Mr. Nathan and the
Cutting Trust acquired the shares beneficially owned by them at various times
from April 1973 through November 1992 for consideration which did not exceed
$1,203,252 in the aggregate and the source of which was their own personal
funds.  Of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by GAP II and
GAP-Compuware, an aggregate of 5,876,371 shares of Common Stock were acquired
by them on December 15, 1992 upon the conversion and redemption of 729,395
shares of the Company's Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, which shares
of Convertible Participating Preferred Stock were acquired from the Company in
November 1989 for the aggregate consideration of approximately $30,000,000, the
source of which was their working capital (GAP II and GAP-Compuware
subsequently sold an aggregate of 2,130,000 of these shares of Common Stock in
the IPO).  GAP II and GAP-Compuware acquired the remaining 1,411,270 shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by them in June 1990 at a price per share of
$4.33, the source of which was their own working capital.  The Long Family
Trust, the Long Unitrust and the Harris Family Trust acquired the shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by each of them in August 1990 and January 1991
as a result of a merger of the Company and Centura Software which occurred in
August 1990.  The Karmanos Partnership, Glendening Karmanos, Thewes 1995 Trust,
Thewes 1997 Trust, W. and K. Long Unitrust, Harris Unitrust, J. Cutting Trust,
Cutting Foundation and General Atlantic Partners became members of the group
when shares held by original group members were transferred.  GAP-Amsterdam
became a member of the group when the Company acquired all of the stock of
Uniface Holding, B.V., a Netherlands corporation ("Uniface").  GAP-Amsterdam 's
shares in Uniface were exchanged for shares in the Company pursuant to the
terms of the Exchange Agreement.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     All of the members of the group except Glendening Karmanos have agreed,
pursuant to two separate shareholder agreements described in greater detail in
Item 6 below, to grant to Peter Karmanos, Jr. the power to vote the shares of
Common Stock which they own for a period of ten years beginning on the
effective date of the IPO Registration Statement, which date was December 15,
1992.  In the event that Mr. Karmanos shall die before the end of such ten year
period, Mr. Thomas Thewes, if he survives Mr. Karmanos, shall receive the right
to vote the group's shares of Common Stock for the remainder of such period.
Glendening Karmanos has agreed, pursuant to a separate shareholder agreement
described in greater detail in Item 6 below, to grant to Peter Karmanos, Jr.
the power to vote the shares of Common Stock which she owns.  As a result of
such proxies, Mr. Karmanos now controls the vote of approximately 10.9% of the
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (13.1% assuming the exercise of
all stock options exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof held by Mr.
Karmanos and the other members of the group).

     Mr. Karmanos and Mr. Thewes are the founders of the Company.  The other
group members have worked with or for or have been shareholders of the Company
for a significant period of time.  As a result of such association, the group
members share certain common views regarding the Company and its direction for
the future.  Thus, the purpose of granting such proxies to Mr. Karmanos was to
enable him to exercise voting control over the affairs of the Company in order
that these common views could effectively be put into place.

725,564 shares subject to options exercisable within 60 days of the date
thereof) or acquired by them during the term of the agreement. In addition, on

the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, the selection of the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company shall require the affirmative vote of at least
63% of the number of members of the Board of Directors. Such agreement also
provides that GAP II and GAP-Compuware are entitled, for so long as they and
their affiliates together shall hold in the aggregate at least five (5%) percent
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, to designate one director to the
Board of Directors of the Company, and Mr. Karmanos and Mr. Thewes have agreed
that they will vote their shares and the shares over which they hold proxies for
the election of such director.

                             COMPUWARE CORPORATION
                                VOTING AGREEMENT



THIS VOTING AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of July 1, 1997, between
Compuware Corporation, a Michigan corporation ("Compuware"), Peter Karmanos,
Jr. ("Karmanos") and Debra Glendening Karmanos ("Glendening Karmanos").

                                    Recitals

 A.  Karmanos is the owner of certain presently outstanding Compuware
     Corporation common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock").

 B.  The Common Stock owned by Karmanos is currently restricted by the terms 
     of a Shareholder Agreement, dated as of November 5, 1992, as amended, 
     which governs the voting and transfer of the shares of Common Stock 
     owned by Karmanos. 

 C.  Certain shares of Common Stock will be transferred by Karmanos to
     Glendening Karmanos, effective July 1, 1997.


 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 1.  DEFINITION.

     As used in this Agreement, the term "Common Stock" shall mean the 
     421,053 shares of Common Stock transferred by the Karmanos to Glendening
     Karmanos, his wife.

 2.  VOTING AGREEMENT.

     A.   Glendening Karmanos hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and
     appoints Karmanos as her proxy and hereby authorizes and grants to 
     Karmanos the exclusive right to represent and to vote the shares of 
     Common Stock transferred by Karmanos to Glendening Karmanos under this 
     Agreement.  This proxy is coupled with an interest and shall terminate 
     on Karmanos' death or mental incompetency. 

     B.   In furtherance of the foregoing, Glendening Karmanos agrees to
     execute and deliver to Compuware, simultaneously with the execution of 
     this Agreement, an irrevocable proxy, in the form of Exhibit A attached 
     hereto, appointing Karmanos as her proxy for the Common Stock.

     C.   All certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock covered by this
     paragraph 2 shall have endorsed thereon by Compuware the following 
     statement:

          The shares of stock represented by this certificate are restricted 
          as to transfer in accordance with, and are otherwise subject to 
          the terms of, a Voting Agreement dated as of July 1, 1997 (the 
          "Agreement"), a copy of which is on file at the principal office 
          of Compuware Corporation.

     D.   The proxy granted by Glendening Karmanos to Karmanos is not 
     assignable or transferable.

3.   COMPUWARE AGREEMENT.

     Compuware agrees it will not recognize on the stock transfer records of
     Compuware any transfer of any shares of Common Stock covered by 
     paragraph 2 which is contrary to the terms of such paragraph.  Compuware
     further agrees to legend any and all stock certificates which evidence 
     such shares of Common Stock with the legend contained in paragraph 2(C) 
     above before the issuance of any such certificate(s).

4.   MISCELLANEOUS.

     A.   This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with
     respect to the subject matter hereof and shall be binding upon the 
     parties and their respective heirs, personal representatives, 
     successors and assigns unless otherwise restricted herein.

     B.   The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable, and, if
     any part of any provision is held illegal, void, invalid or 
     unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be changed to 
     the extent reasonably necessary to make the provision, as so changed, 
     legal, valid, binding and enforceable.  In the event any provision of 
     this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the 
     validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions 
     hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     C.   This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance 
     with the laws of the State of Michigan.

     D.   This Agreement shall terminate on Peter Karmanos, Jr.'s death or
     mental incompetency.

     E.   Notwithstanding the date of any signatures, this Agreement shall be
     effective on the date set forth above.  This Agreement may be executed 
     in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.
