        This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 30, 1999, as amended (the "Schedule 14D-1"), relating to the
offer by COMP Acquisition Co., a California corporation ("Purchaser") and wholly
owned subsidiary of Compuware Corporation, a Michigan corporation ("Compuware"),
to purchase all outstanding shares of Common Stock, no par value (the "Shares"),
of Data Processing Resources Corporation, a California corporation (the
"Company"), at $24.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 30,
1999 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which,
together with any amendments and supplements thereto, collectively constitute
the "Offer"). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer and the Schedule 14D-1.

        Item 4 of the Schedule 14D-1 is hereby amended to read in its entirety
as follows:

ITEM 4. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

        (a)-(c) The total amount of funds required by Purchaser to consummate
the Offer and the Merger is estimated to be approximately $354 million
(assuming the purchase of all Shares outstanding), plus approximately $2.5
million to pay related fees and expenses. In addition, as indicated in Section
10 of the Offer to Purchase under the heading "Convertible Notes," the  Company
will be required to offer to repurchase its 5 1/4% Convertible Subordinated
Notes due 2005 (the "Notes") following the earlier of the consummation of the
Offer or the Merger, for the aggregate principal amount of $115 million plus
accrued interest. Purchaser plans to obtain all the funds needed for the Offer
and the Merger, and to repurchase the Notes, from Compuware. Compuware will
obtain such funds in part from the credit facility referred to below. As of
March 31, 1999, Compuware had approximately $193 million in cash and cash
equivalents and approximately $310 million in short term investments. Neither
Purchaser nor Compuware has conditioned the Offer or the Merger on obtaining
financing.

        On June 30, 1999, Compuware countersigned a commitment letter, dated
June 29, 1999, from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. ("Morgan Stanley") and
Comerica Bank ("Comerica") pursuant to which Morgan Stanley and Comerica have
committed to provide to Compuware, on specified terms and subject to specified
conditions, up to $700 million in a credit facility, a portion of which funds
are expected to be used to finance the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the
Offer and the Merger, to finance the payments to be made upon the exercise of
options to purchase Shares, to finance the Company's repurchase of its Notes
tendered in response to the Company's offer to repurchase described above and in
Section 10 of the Offer to Purchase, and to pay related fees and expenses. The
balance of the credit facility is expected to be used for other corporate
purposes. Morgan Stanley has committed to provide $420 million of the total
commitment, and Comerica has committed to provide $280 million. They reserve the
right to act as agents for a syndicate of financial institutions which, together
with Morgan Stanley and Comerica, will provide the credit facility.

<PAGE>   3
        The commitment letter contemplates that the credit facility will be a
four year senior bank revolving credit facility, with scheduled reductions of
the commitments under the facility of $100 million, $100 million and $500
million at the end of the second, third and fourth years. Outstanding loans
under the credit facility are to be repaid if at any time their aggregate
principal amount exceeds the then total credit facility commitment. The
commitment letter provides for interest rates on outstanding loans under the
credit facility, at Compuware's option, of either (i) the Eurodollar rate
determined by Comerica, plus a margin of 1.25% initially, or (ii) the higher of
the Comerica prime rate or 0.5% over the federal funds rate, plus a margin of
0.25% initially. In addition, the commitment letter provides for commitment fees
on the unutilized commitments under the credit facility of 0.25% per annum
initially. The interest rate margins and commitment fees will be adjusted after
six months according to Compuware's then credit rating.

        Morgan Stanley's and Comerica's commitment to provide the credit
facility is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including (i)
satisfactory completion of a due diligence review, (including receipt and review
of Compuware's financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999),
(ii) the repayment and termination of Compuware's existing credit facility,
(iii) the absence of a material adverse change since March 31, 1999 (the date of
Compuware's audited financial statements) in the ability of Compuware or its
subsidiaries to perform their obligations to the lenders or with respect to the
business, operations, assets, liabilities, condition or prospects of Compuware
and its subsidiaries, (iv) the absence of any material change in the syndication
market for credit facilities or in the financial, banking or capital markets
that in the opinion of Morgan Stanley or Comerica would have a material adverse
effect on the satisfactory syndication of the credit facility, (v) the absence
of certain litigation, (vi) the negotiation and execution of definitive
documentation for the credit facility by September 15, 1999, (vii) Morgan
Stanley's and Comerica's approval of the structure, terms and documentation for
the Offer and the Merger, (viii) all conditions precedent to the consummation of
the Offer and the Merger (as set forth in the documentation therefor) having
been satisfied to the satisfaction of Morgan Stanley and Comerica or waived with
their consent, (ix) all necessary governmental approvals and all material third
party approvals in connection with the credit facility, the Offer and the Merger
having been obtained and remaining in effect, and all applicable waiting periods
having expired without any action being taken by any competent authority which,
in the judgment of Morgan Stanley and Comerica, restrains, prevents or imposes
materially adverse conditions on the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or
the credit facility, and (x) the absence of any judgment, order, injunction or
other restraint prohibiting or imposing materially adverse conditions on the
Offer, the Merger or the credit facility.

        The definitive documentation with respect to the credit facility also
will contain representations, warranties, covenants, events of default and
conditions customary for credit facilities of this size and type. Compuware has
agreed to pay certain fees to Morgan Stanley and Comerica with respect to the
commitment letter and to Morgan Stanley, Comerica and the other lenders with
respect to the credit facility. Compuware also has agreed to reimburse certain
expenses of Morgan Stanley and Comerica in connection with the commitment letter
and to provide customary indemnities to Morgan Stanley, Comerica and the other
lenders in connection with the credit facility.

        The foregoing summary of the sources and amount of funds is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the text of the commitment letter, a copy of which
is an exhibit to this Amendment. If and when definitive agreements with respect
to the credit facility are executed, copies will be filed as exhibits to
amendments to the Schedule 14D-1.

    Although no definitive plan or arrangement for repayment of borrowings under
the credit facility has been made, Compuware anticipates such borrowings will be
repaid with internally generated funds (including, if the Merger is consummated,
funds of the Company) and from other sources which may include the proceeds of
future bank financings or the public or private sale of debt or equity
securities. No decision has been made concerning the method Compuware will use
to repay the borrowings under the credit facility. Such decision will be made
based on Compuware's review from time to time of the advisability of particular
actions, as well as prevailing interest rates, financial and other economic
conditions and such other factors as Compuware may deem appropriate.

Compuware Corporation
31440 Northwestern Highway

Attention: Elliot R. Stark
           Executive Vice President

re  Commitment Letter

Dear Elliot:

               You have advised Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. ("MSSF") and
Comerica Bank ("Comerica", and together with MSSF, the "Agents") that Compuware
Corporation (the "Borrower") intends to (i) purchase all of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of Data Processing Resources Corporation ("DPRC") for an
aggregate purchase price of $470 million (which amount includes the refinancing
of up to $115 million in principal amount of existing convertible subordinated
debt of DPRC) (collectively, the "DPRC Acquisition") and (ii) repay in full, and
terminate, its existing line of credit with Comerica (the "Existing Credit
Facility"). We understand that except for the existing debt of DPRC which is to
be refinanced, neither DPRC nor any of its subsidiaries will have any other
material debt.

               MSSF and Comerica understand that the sources of funds needed to
effect the DPRC Acquisition, to terminate the Existing Credit Facility, to pay
related fees and expenses and to provide for the ongoing working capital and
general corporate needs of the Borrower and its subsidiaries shall be provided
through the incurrence by the Borrower of a $700 million senior bank reducing
revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). A summary of
certain of the terms and conditions of the Revolving Credit Facility is set
forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Term Sheet"). Please note that those
matters that are not covered or made clear herein or in the Term Sheet or in the
related fee letter dated the date hereof (the "Fee Letter") are

<PAGE>   2
subject to mutual agreement of the parties hereto. The terms and conditions of
this commitment may be modified only in writing signed by each of the parties
hereto.

               Each of MSSF and Comerica is pleased to confirm that (i) each of
MSSF and Comerica severally commits to provide, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein and in the Term Sheet, $420 million and $280
million, respectively, of the Revolving Credit Facility (each a "Commitment"),
(ii) MSSF shall act as lead arranger and book manager for the Revolving Credit
Facility and (iii) Comerica shall act as co-arranger and as administrative agent
for the Revolving Credit Facility. You agree that no other agents, co-agents or
arrangers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation
(other than that expressly contemplated by the Term Sheet and the Fee Letter)
will be paid in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility unless you and we
shall so agree.

               MSSF and Comerica reserve the right, prior to or after execution
of the definitive credit documentation for the Revolving Credit Facility, to
syndicate all or part of their Commitment for the Revolving Credit Facility to
one or more lending institutions (the "Lenders") that will become parties to
such definitive credit documentation pursuant to a syndication to be managed by
the Agents. To the extent that the Agents receive commitments with respect to
the Revolving Credit Facility from one or more other Lenders, the Agents shall
be relieved of their Commitment for the Revolving Credit Facility. The Agents
may commence syndication efforts promptly after the execution of this letter by
you and you agree actively to assist the Agents in achieving a syndication that
is satisfactory to the Agents. Such syndication will be carried out in
consultation with you and will be accomplished by a variety of means, including
direct contact during the syndication between your senior management and
advisors and the proposed syndicate members. To assist the Agents in their
syndication efforts, you hereby agree, both before and after the closing of the
Revolving Credit Facility, (i) to provide and cause your advisors to provide the
Agents and the other prospective syndicate members upon request with all
information reasonably deemed necessary by the Agents to complete syndication,
including but not limited to information and evaluations prepared by you and
your advisors or on your behalf relating to you, DPRC and the transactions
contemplated hereby (it being understood that your obligation under this clause
(i) is subject to any third party binding confidentiality provisions that you
are subject to, although you agree to use your reasonable efforts to obtain any
necessary consents so that such confidential information may be provided to the
Agents), (ii) to assist the Agents, upon request, in the preparation of an
Information Memorandum to be used in connection with the syndication of the
Revolving Credit Facility and (iii) to make available your senior officers and
representatives, in each case from time to time and to attend and make
presentations regarding the business and prospects of the Borrower, DPRC and
your and their subsidiaries at a meeting or meetings of Lenders or prospective
Lenders.

               As you are aware, the Agents have not had the opportunity to
complete their business, financial, accounting and legal due diligence analysis
and review with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and the
Borrower, DPRC and their respective subsidiaries. Each Agent's willingness to
provide and/or participate in the Revolving Credit Facility contemplated by this
letter is therefore subject to the completion of such analysis and review and


                                       2
<PAGE>   3
its satisfaction with the results thereof, and to the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent contained in the Term Sheet. Furthermore, if prior to the
Closing Date (as defined in the Term Sheet) either of the Agents discovers
information not known to it which such Agent reasonably believe has had, or is
likely to have, a materially adverse effect on the transactions contemplated
hereby or on the condition (financial or otherwise), business, property,
operations, assets, liabilities or prospects of the Borrower, DPRC or any of
their respective subsidiaries, the Agents (or either of them) may, in their sole
discretion, suggest alternative financing amounts or structures that assure
adequate protection for the Lenders or decline to provide or participate in the
proposed financing.

               To induce the Agents to issue this letter, you hereby agree that
all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel and consultants) of each of the Agents and their
affiliates arising in connection with this letter (and their due diligence and
syndication efforts in connection herewith) and in connection with the
transactions described herein shall be for your account, whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Revolving Credit Facility
is made available or definitive credit documents are executed. In addition, you
hereby agree to pay, when and as due, the fees described in the Fee Letter. You
further agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Lenders (including, in
any event, each of the Agents) and each director, officer, employee, agent and
affiliate thereof (each an "indemnified person") from and against any and all
actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations or inquiries), claims,
losses, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which
may be incurred by or asserted against or involve any such indemnified person as
a result of or arising out of or in any way related to or resulting from this
letter, the transactions contemplated hereby or the extension (or use of
proceeds) of the Revolving Credit Facility contemplated by this letter, and you
agree to reimburse each indemnified person for any reasonable legal or other
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating,
defending or preparing to defend any such action, suit, proceeding (including
any investigation or inquiry) or claim (whether or not any Agent or any such
other indemnified person is a party to any action or proceeding out of which any
such expenses arise); provided, however, that you shall not have to indemnify
any indemnified person against any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability to
the extent that same resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such indemnified person (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). This letter is issued for
your benefit only and no other person or entity may rely hereon. Neither of the
Agents nor any Lender shall be responsible or liable to you or any other person
or entity for any consequential damages which may be alleged as a result of this
letter or the failure to provide the Revolving Credit Facility.

               Each Agent reserves the right to employ the services of its
affiliates in providing services contemplated by this letter and to allocate, in
whole or in part, to such affiliates certain fees payable to the Agents in such
manner as the Agents and such affiliates may agree in their sole discretion. You
acknowledge that the Agents may share with any of their affiliates, and such
affiliates may share with the Agents, any information related to the
transactions contemplated hereby, the Borrower, DPRC and your and their
respective subsidiaries' affiliates, or any of the matters contemplated hereby.
Each Agent agrees to treat, and cause any such


                                       3
<PAGE>   4
affiliate of such Agent to treat, all non-public information provided to it by
you as confidential information in accordance with its customary practices for
handling such information or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Agent.

               The provisions of the immediately preceding two paragraphs shall
survive any termination of this letter.

               Each Agent's commitment to provide its portion of the Revolving
Credit Facility as set forth above shall terminate on September 15, 1999 unless
a definitive credit agreement evidencing the Revolving Credit Facility has been
executed and delivered and the DPRC Acquisition has been consummated by such
date.

               You are not authorized to show or circulate this letter to any
other person or entity (other than your legal and financial advisors in
connection with your evaluation hereof) until such time as you have accepted
this letter as provided in the immediately succeeding paragraph at which time
you may show a copy of this letter and the Term Sheet (but not the Fee Letter)
to DPRC and their respective legal and financial advisors in connection with
your proposal for the DPRC Acquisition contemplated hereby (except that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, you may make such public disclosures as, and to
the extent, you are required by law, in the opinion of your counsel, to make).
If this letter is not accepted by you as provided in the immediately succeeding
paragraph, you are to immediately return this letter (and any copies hereof) to
the undersigned. This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute
one and the same instrument.

               If you are in agreement with the foregoing, please sign and
return to the Agents (including by way of facsimile transmission) the enclosed
copy of this letter, together with the Fee Letter, no later than 6:00 p.m., New
York time, on June 30, 1999. This letter shall terminate at the time and on the
date referenced in the immediately preceding sentence unless this letter and the
Fee Letter are executed and returned by you as provided in such sentence.

                             total Revolving Credit Facility commitments, with
                             such prepayment (and/or cash collateralization) to
                             be in an amount equal to such excess.

                             time to time plus the Applicable Margin or (y)

                             by reference to the Borrower's long-term senior
                             unsecured debt rating as set forth on Schedule I
                             attached hereto.

                             "Base Rate" shall mean the higher of (x) 1/2 of 1%
                             in excess of the overnight federal funds rate and
                             (y) the rate that the Administrative Agent
                             announces from time to time as its prime lending
                             rate, as in effect from time to time.

                             Interest periods of 1, 2, 3 and 6 months shall be
                             available in the case of Eurodollar Loans.

                             The Borrower shall have the right to replace any
                             Lender that charges a material amount in excess of
                             that being charged by the other Lenders with
                             respect to contingencies described in the
                             immediately preceding sentence.

                             Interest in respect of Base Rate Loans shall be

                             of Eurodollar Loans shall be payable in arrears at
                             the end of the applicable interest period and every

                             to the prime lending rate shall be based on a 365-

                             shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
                             the greater of (i) the rate which is 2% in excess
                             of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate
                             Loans from time to time and (ii) the rate which is
                             2% in excess of the rate then borne by such
                             borrowings. Such interest shall be payable on
                             demand.

                             shared proportionately by the Lenders in accordance

                             for the stated duration thereof. In addition, the

                             without the prior written consent of the Lenders.
                             Any Lender may assign, and may sell participations
                             in, its rights and obligations under the Revolving

                             voting rights of the participants and (y) in the
                             case of assignments, to such limitations as may be
                             established by the Agents (including (i) a minimum
                             assignment amount of $5 million (or if less, the
                             entire amount of such assignor's outstanding

                             receipt of the consent of the Administrative Agent
                             (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
                             or delayed). The Revolving Credit Facility shall
                             provide for a mechanism which will allow for each
                             assignee to become a direct signatory to the
                             Revolving Credit Facility and will relieve the
                             assigning Lender of its obligations with respect to
                             the assigned portion of its outstanding Loans.
