                                   PROSPECTUS

                          SUNGARD(R) DATA SYSTEMS INC.

                         360,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

         This Prospectus of SunGard Data Systems Inc. ("SunGard") covers up to
360,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share ("SunGard Common
Stock"), that may be issued to the shareholders of BancWare, Inc., a
Massachusetts corporation ("BancWare"), upon consummation of the proposed merger
(the "Merger") of BWI Acquisition Inc. ("Newco"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
SunGard, with and into BancWare pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, dated September 22, 1997 (the "Reorganization Agreement"), among
SunGard, Newco, BancWare, William E. Popp ("Popp"), Douglas Drane ("Drane") and
M.I. Mandalinci ("Mandalinci") (Popp, Drane and Mandalinci are collectively
referred to as the "Principal Selling Parties") and the related Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated September 22, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"), among
SunGard, Newco and BancWare. This Prospectus also constitutes a Proxy Statement
of BancWare and is being furnished to the holders of BancWare Class A Common
Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Class A Common Stock"), BancWare Class B
Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Class B Common Stock") and BancWare
Convertible Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share ("Preferred Stock")
(collectively, "BancWare Stock"), in connection with a Special Meeting of
Shareholders of BancWare to vote on the Merger.

         BancWare shareholders will receive an aggregate of up to 360,000 shares
of SunGard Common Stock in the Merger. The actual number of shares of SunGard
Common Stock to be issued in the Merger will depend upon the last reported sale
price per share of SunGard Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange on the
closing date of the Merger (the "Market Value of SunGard Stock"), the number of
shares for which dissenter's rights have been perfected, the number of shares of
Preferred Stock which are converted into Class A Common Stock and the number of
outstanding options to purchase BancWare Stock which are exercised prior to the
Merger.

         Assuming that all shares of Preferred Stock are converted into Class A
Common Stock, that no BancWare shareholders exercise dissenter's rights and that
no stock options to purchase BancWare Stock are exercised prior to the Merger,
and assuming that the Market Value of SunGard Stock was $23-7/16 per share
(which, for the purpose of this example was based upon the last reported sale
price on The New York Stock Exchange on October 27, 1997), a total of
approximately 331,278 shares of SunGard Common Stock would be issued in the
Merger (representing approximately 0.38% of all SunGard Common Stock outstanding
after the Merger), each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock would be
converted into 0.054692631 shares of SunGard Common Stock and each outstanding
share of Class B Common Stock would be converted into 0.049359298 shares of
SunGard Common Stock in the Merger. See THE PROPOSED MERGER--Principal Terms of
the Merger.

respect to SunGard and its subsidiaries was supplied by SunGard, and all
information with respect to BancWare was supplied by BancWare. No person is
authorized to give any information or to make any

an implication that there has been no change in the affairs of SunGard or

APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE

                                    SUMMARY


         The following is a summary of certain significant matters discussed
elsewhere in this Proxy Statement-Prospectus. This summary is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in
this Proxy Statement-Prospectus and the Appendices hereto. Shareholders are
urged to read the entire Proxy Statement-Prospectus, including the Appendices
hereto. Certain terms used in this summary and elsewhere in this Proxy
Statement-Prospectus are used as defined in the Summary or elsewhere in this
Proxy Statement-Prospectus.

Special Meeting

             
         The Special Meeting of Shareholders of BancWare (the "Special Meeting")
will be held at BancWare's headquarters located at 88 Broad Street, Boston, MA
02110 on December 12, 1997, at 10:00 a.m. local time. See INTRODUCTORY
STATEMENT. At the Special Meeting, holders of BancWare Stock will be asked to
consider and vote upon the Merger of Newco, a wholly owned subsidiary of
SunGard, with and into BancWare pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement and the
Merger Agreement. See THE PROPOSED MERGER.      

Outstanding Shares and Required Vote

         Only holders of record of BancWare Stock at the close of business on
the date immediately preceding the date of the Notice of the Special Meeting of
Shareholders of BancWare (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of and to
vote at the Special Meeting. Approval of the Merger will require the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Class A
Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Preferred Stock of BancWare, voting as
separate classes, which all BancWare shareholders are entitled to cast thereon.
The Principal Selling Parties of BancWare and their affiliates are entitled to
vote an aggregate of approximately 51.5% of the total shares of BancWare Class A
Common Stock, approximately 91.4% of the total Shares of BancWare Class B Common
Stock and no shares of BancWare Preferred Stock outstanding as of the Record
Date. See PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS OF BANCWARE.

         If the shareholders of BancWare fail to approve the Merger, and if the
Principal Selling Parties either fail to vote their shares in favor of the
Merger or encourage other BancWare shareholders to vote against the Merger,
BancWare has agreed to pay SunGard the sum of $1,000,000. In addition, if the
shareholders of BancWare fail to approve the Merger and if BancWare is acquired,
or agrees to be acquired prior to September 22, 1998, BancWare would be
obligated to pay SunGard an amount equal to twenty-five percent of the excess of
the acquisition price over $9,000,000, less any amount paid to SunGard pursuant
to the preceding sentence.

computer service and application software. SunGard is a specialized provider of
proprietary investment support systems, comprehensive computer disaster recovery
services, and healthcare information systems. SunGard's principal executive
offices are located at 1285 Drummers Lane, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087, telephone
(610) 341-8700.

         BancWare: BancWare is a Massachusetts corporation which is in the
business of providing software and professional consulting services relating to
interest rate risk management, financial forecasting, coterminous funds transfer
pricing and financial database record management for thrifts and other financial
institutions. BancWare's principal executive offices are located at 88 Broad
Street, Boston, MA 02110, telephone 617-542-2800. See BUSINESS OF BANCWARE.

         Newco: Newco is a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of
SunGard. Newco, recently formed for the purposes of effecting the Merger with
BancWare, will not engage in any business prior to the Merger and will not
survive the Merger.

BancWare Board Approval

         The Board of Directors of BancWare has unanimously approved the Merger
and has recommended that BancWare shareholders vote in favor of the proposed
Merger. See THE PROPOSED MERGER--BancWare Board Approval and Reasons for the
Merger.

The Proposed Merger

         Subject to BancWare shareholder approval and certain other conditions,
Newco will be merged with and into BancWare, with BancWare surviving the Merger
(the "Surviving Corporation"). The Surviving Corporation will become a wholly
owned subsidiary of SunGard and will be named BancWare, Inc. See THE PROPOSED
MERGER. BancWare shareholders will receive an aggregate of up to 360,000 shares
of SunGard Common Stock in the Merger. The actual number of shares of SunGard
Common Stock to be issued in the Merger will depend upon the last reported sale
price per share of SunGard Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange on the
closing date of the Merger (the "Market Value of SunGard Stock"), the number of
shares for which dissenter's rights have been perfected, the number of shares of
Preferred Stock which are converted into Class A Common Stock and the number of
outstanding options to purchase BancWare Stock which are exercised prior to the
Merger.

         Assuming that all shares of Preferred Stock are converted into Class A
Common Stock, that no BancWare shareholders exercise dissenter's rights and that
no stock options to purchase BancWare Stock are exercised prior to the Merger,
and assuming that the Market Value of SunGard Stock was $23-7/16 share (which,
for the purpose of this example was based upon the last reported sale price on
The New York Stock Exchange on October 27, 

                                     (vii)

1997), a total of approximately 331,278 shares of SunGard Common Stock would be
issued in the Merger (representing approximately 0.38% of all SunGard Common
Stock outstanding after the Merger), and each outstanding share of Class A
Common Stock would be converted into 0.054692631 shares of SunGard Common Stock
and each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock would be converted into
0.049359298 shares of SunGard Common Stock in the Merger (collectively, the
"Assumed Merger Exchange Ratios"). In lieu of the issuance of fractional shares,
the number of shares of SunGard Common Stock to be issued to each shareholder of
BancWare in accordance with the Plan will be rounded off to the nearest whole
number of shares of SunGard Common Stock. Shareholders should not send in their
BancWare stock certificates until they receive written instructions from the
exchange agent. BancWare shareholders are urged to promptly notify BancWare of
lost, stolen or destroyed certificates or certificates not properly registered
in order to begin the process of issuing replacement certificates. See THE
PROPOSED MERGER--Principal Terms of the Merger.      

Conditions to Closing and Effective Date

         The parties' respective obligations to consummate the Merger are
subject to BancWare shareholder approval and a number of other conditions, each
of which may be waived either before or after the Special Meeting. The Merger
will be consummated only if it is approved by the BancWare shareholders and the
other conditions to closing are satisfied or waived. If so, then the Merger will
be consummated on the date of the Special Meeting or as soon thereafter as is
practicable (the "Closing Date") and will be effective at the time of filing of
the Articles of Merger and all other necessary documents with the Secretary of
State of the States of Delaware and Massachusetts (the "Effective Date"). See
THE PROPOSED MERGER--Conditions to Closing.

Modification, Waiver and Termination

             
         Each party may, at any time before the Effective Date, whether before
or after the Special Meeting, waive any of the terms or conditions of the
Reorganization Agreement or the Merger Agreement, or agree to any amendment or
modification to either agreement, as long as the waiver, amendment or
modification does not result in a decrease in the merger exchange ratios or have
a material adverse effect on BancWare shareholders. The Reorganization Agreement
and the Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time before the Effective
Date, whether before or after the Special Meeting, by the mutual written consent
of SunGard and BancWare, by written notice from either SunGard or BancWare to
the other if the party giving such notice is not willing to waive a condition
that the other party cannot satisfy on or before December 19, 1997, or by
written notice from either SunGard or BancWare to the other if the Merger is not
consummated by December 19, 1997 for any reason other than a breach by the party
giving such notice. See THE PROPOSED MERGER--Modification, Waiver and
Termination.      

                                    (viii)

<PAGE>
 
Exchange of Stock Certificates

         As of the Effective Date, each BancWare shareholder (other than
shareholders who perfect dissenter's rights) will be entitled to receive, upon
surrender of certificate(s) formerly representing shares of BancWare Stock,
certificates representing 90% of the shares of SunGard Common Stock to which he
is entitled, with the balance being held in escrow in accordance with the Escrow
Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Appendix C (the "Escrow
Agreement"). Instructions for surrendering BancWare stock certificates will be
forwarded to the former BancWare shareholders as soon as possible after the
Effective Date. See THE PROPOSED MERGER--Exchange of Stock Certificates and
Escrow Agreement.

Rights of Dissenting Shareholders

         Subject to consummation of the Merger, each holder of BancWare Stock
who files a written objection to the Merger with BancWare before the Special
Meeting and who otherwise complies with the applicable procedures under
Massachusetts law will be entitled to receive the fair value of his shares of
BancWare Stock in cash. See THE PROPOSED MERGER--Rights of Dissenting
Shareholders.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

         The Merger will constitute a tax-free reorganization under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. For federal income tax purposes, therefore, no
gain or loss will be recognized by BancWare shareholders upon the exchange of
their shares for shares of SunGard Common Stock, except to the extent of cash
received by any dissenting BancWare shareholders. See THE PROPOSED
MERGER--Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.

Regulatory Matters

         Other than certain filings to be made and approvals obtained under
certain federal and state securities or "blue sky" laws, there are no federal or
state regulatory requirements that must be complied with or approval obtained in
connection with the Merger. See THE PROPOSED MERGER--Regulatory Matters.

Accounting Treatment

         The Merger will be accounted for by SunGard under the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting. See THE PROPOSED MERGER--Accounting
Treatment. 

                                     (ix)

Management of BancWare After Closing

         After the Effective Date, the Surviving Corporation will be a wholly
owned subsidiary of SunGard and will own and operate the business conducted by
BancWare before the Effective Date. SunGard intends that the operations of the
Surviving Corporation after the Effective Date will be conducted substantially
the same as those of BancWare before the Effective Date, with present BancWare
management personnel retained. See THE PROPOSED MERGER--Management of BancWare
After Closing and Other Employment Matters.

Interests of Certain Persons in Merger

         Of the outstanding BancWare Stock, approximately 84.5% is beneficially
owned by persons who are employed by BancWare, including its officers and
directors. After the effectiveness of the Merger, William E. Popp, President and
Chief Executive Officer of BancWare, and M. I. Mandalinci, Executive Vice
President, Assistant Clerk and Chief Operating Officer of BancWare, who
collectively own approximately 34.7% of the outstanding BancWare Stock
(including outstanding stock options), will continue to be employed by the
Surviving Corporation as employees at-will. See THE PROPOSED MERGER--Management
of BancWare After Closing and Other Employment Matters.

Recent Developments of SunGard

         On October 17, 1997, SunGard entered into an agreement to merge with
Infinity Financial Technology, Inc. ("Infinity") in a stock-for-stock
transaction in which each share of Infinity common stock will be exchanged for
0.68 of a share of SunGard Common Stock (the "Infinity Merger"). Based upon
SunGard's closing price of $24 1/16 on October 16, 1997, the shares to be issued
by SunGard in the transaction, representing approximately fifteen percent of its
outstanding shares, will have a value of approximately $313 million. See RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS OF SUNGARD beginning on page 20.

Comparative Per Share Data

         The following table presents certain historical per share data and pro
forma per share data of SunGard and BancWare based upon the historical financial
statements of such companies. The pro forma information gives effect to the
Merger as if it had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, with
such transaction accounted for on a pooling-of-interests basis. The pro forma
information is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been obtained
if the Merger had been effected on the date indicated or the results that may be
obtained in the future. The pro forma information set forth below does not give
effect to the pending Infinity Merger. See RECENT DEVELOPMENTS OF SUNGARD
beginning on page 20. Pro forma information with respect to the BancWare Merger
is not being presented elsewhere in this Proxy Statement-Prospectus because the
effect of the Merger is not material to the financial condition or results of
operations of SunGard. The following information should be read in conjunction
with the separate financial statements of SunGard that are incorporated by
reference in this Proxy Statement-Prospectus, the separate financial statements
of BancWare that are included in this Proxy Statement-Prospectus and the

Forward Looking Statements

         Statements about the pending Infinity Merger, SunGard's 1997 and 1998
outlook and all other statements in this Proxy Statement-Prospectus other than
historical facts are forward-looking statements. Since these statements involve
risks and uncertainties (including those relating to the possible inability to
complete the Infinity Merger as scheduled, or at all) and are subject to change
at any time, SunGard's actual results could differ materially from expected
results. Assuming completion of the Infinity Merger, such risks and
uncertainties include risks that integration of the operations and products of
the combining companies might not occur as anticipated. SunGard derives most of
its forward-looking statements from its operating budgets and forecasts, which
are based upon many detailed assumptions. While SunGard believes that its
assumptions are reasonable, it cautions that 

                                    (xiii)
<PAGE>
 
there are inherent difficulties in predicting certain important factors,
especially the timing and magnitude of software sales, the timing and scope of
technological advances, the performance of recently acquired businesses, the
prospects for future acquisitions, and the overall condition of the financial
services industry. Whether or not the pending Infinity Merger closes, actual
results, including the level of earnings of both SunGard and Infinity, may
differ materially from historical results and those discussed. These factors, as
and when applicable, are discussed in SunGard's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, a
copy of which may be obtained from SunGard without charge, and in Infinity's
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. See RECENT DEVELOPMENTS OF SUNGARD
beginning on page 20.

date immediately preceding the date of the Notice of the Special Meeting of
Shareholders of BancWare (the "Record Date"). Only holders of record of BancWare
Stock on the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special
Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 1,086,532 shares of BancWare Class A
Common Stock, 5,280,475 shares of BancWare Class B Common Stock and 205,000
shares of BancWare Preferred Stock outstanding. Holders of record of BancWare
Class A Common Stock, BancWare Class B Common Stock, and BancWare Preferred
Stock on the Record Date are entitled to one vote per share on the Merger and
the presence of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of each class
of BancWare Stock outstanding on the Record Date is necessary to constitute a
quorum at the Special Meeting.

         Approval of the Merger will require the affirmative vote, either in
person or by proxy, of the holders of BancWare Class A Common Stock, BancWare
Class B Common Stock and BancWare Preferred Stock, voting as separate classes,
entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes which all holders of each
class of BancWare Stock are entitled to cast thereon.

         The Principal Selling Parties are entitled to vote an aggregate of
approximately 51.5% of the shares of BancWare Class A Stock, approximately 91.4%
of the shares of BancWare Class B Common Stock and no shares of BancWare
Preferred Stock outstanding on the Record Date.

         Proxies

         A Proxy for use in connection with the BancWare Special Meeting is
enclosed. Each properly executed and returned proxy will be voted at the
BancWare Special Meeting in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no
instructions are given, such proxy will be voted FOR the proposal to approve the
Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

         Sending in an executed proxy will not affect a shareholder's right to
attend and vote at the Special Meeting, since the proxy is revocable. Any
shareholder who submits a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted by
submitting a later-dated proxy or by giving written notice of such revocation to
the Clerk of BancWare. The presence at the BancWare Special Meeting of any
shareholder who has given a proxy will not revoke the proxy unless the
shareholder files written notice of revocation with the Clerk of BancWare before
the voting of the proxy.

         The enclosed proxy confers discretionary authority to vote with respect
to any and all of the following matters that may come before the respective
Special Meeting: (1) matters which BancWare does not know a reasonable time
before the meeting are to be presented at the meeting; and (2) matters incident
to the conduct of the meeting. BancWare's Board of Directors do not know of any
matters, other than the proposals described in this Proxy Statement, that will
be presented for consideration at the BancWare Special Meeting. 

                                      -2-

However, if other matters properly come before the BancWare Special Meeting, it
is intended that the persons designated as proxy agents will vote upon such
matters in accordance with their best judgment.

         BancWare will bear the expenses in connection with the solicitation of
proxies from its shareholders. In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may
be solicited in person by directors, officers and employees of BancWare, without
additional compensation, by telephone, telegram, teletype, facsimile or similar
method. BancWare will, on request, reimburse its respective shareholders of
record who are brokers, dealers, banks or voting trustees, or their nominees,
for their reasonable expenses in sending proxy materials to the beneficial
owners of the shares they hold of record. See PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS OF
BANCWARE.

                               THE PROPOSED MERGER

         The following information concerning the Merger, insofar as it relates
to the Reorganization Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement,
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reorganization Agreement, the
Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, which are attached as Appendices A, B
and C, respectively, to this Proxy Statement-Prospectus and are incorporated
herein by reference. YOU ARE URGED TO CAREFULLY READ THE ENTIRE REORGANIZATION
AGREEMENT, MERGER AGREEMENT AND ESCROW AGREEMENT.

Background

         Since its inception, SunGard has pursued a strategy of augmenting the
internal growth of its business through the acquisition of computer services
companies that complement and expand its existing business lines. During the
early part of 1997, SunGard independently determined that the market for
providing computer software to financial institutions in the application area of
asset and liability management ("ALM") both was a suitable complement to
SunGard's existing financial risk management software business and had
attractive potential growth opportunities. After performing preliminary research
on the ALM software market and identifying the various market participants,
SunGard made initial contact with BancWare in March 1997 to determine its
interest in pursuing acquisition discussions with SunGard.

         During April 1997, senior officers of SunGard and BancWare conducted
preliminary discussions regarding the potential business and financial benefits
of combining the two companies. As a result of those discussions, in May 1997
the senior managements of both SunGard and BancWare separately determined that
an acquisition of BancWare by SunGard was in the best interests of each company
and its stockholders, and the parties signed a letter of intent dated June 2,
1997. Subsequent to that date, SunGard conducted a "due diligence" investigation
of BancWare, and the senior officers of SunGard and BancWare conducted
negotiations to establish the terms of the Merger Agreement and the
Reorganization Agreement, both of which were signed on September 22, 1997. The
Merger 

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
was approved by the Board of Directors of SunGard on August 14, 1997 and by the
Board of Directors of BancWare on September 19, 1997.

BancWare Board Approval and Reasons for the Merger

         On September 19, 1997, the Board of Directors of BancWare, in an action
by unanimous written consent, approved the Reorganization Agreement and Merger
Agreement and the transactions necessary to consummate the Merger. Prior to
reaching its decision, the BancWare Board of Directors had received information
from management of BancWare, its legal counsel, accountants, financial advisors
and others regarding various aspects of SunGard, including its products,
employees, suppliers and management. Based on this information and a description
of the terms of the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement, the Board
of Directors approved the Reorganization Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the
Merger and authorized the filing of a registration statement, the obtaining of
all regulatory approvals, and the performance of all additional actions
necessary, appropriate or advisable in order to consummate the Merger. The Board
of Directors of BancWare recommends that the shareholders of BancWare vote FOR
approval and adoption of the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement
and the transactions contemplated thereby.

         In reaching its conclusion to enter into the Reorganization Agreement
and the Merger Agreement and to recommend that the shareholders of BancWare vote
FOR the approval and adoption of those agreements, the Directors of BancWare
considered a number of factors, including, without limitation, the following:

         (i)    The value of the consideration to be received by the
shareholders of BancWare, including the fact that the Merger was expected to be
treated as a tax-free reorganization and that, with the Merger, the shareholders
of BancWare are acquiring an interest in a larger, more diverse enterprise;

         (ii)   The publicly available financial information regarding SunGard,
and information regarding SunGard Common Stock, the relative financial
performance of SunGard, the business reputation and capabilities of SunGard and
its management, SunGard's financial strength, and the liquidity and the
historical performance of the publicly traded SunGard Common Stock;

         (iii)  The opportunity for holders of BancWare Stock to continue
participating in the potential for long-term gains in BancWare through the
ownership of SunGard Common Stock following the Merger;

         (iv)   The perceived strengths of BancWare and SunGard combined,
including the potential developments and information that are expected to be
shared between the two companies after the Merger is consummated; and

         (v)    The likelihood that the Merger will be consummated.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
         In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the Board of
Directors of BancWare in connection with its evaluation of the terms of the
proposed Merger, the Board did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify
or otherwise attempt to assign relative weights to the specific factors
considered in reaching its determinations.

Principal Terms of the Merger

         Effect of the Merger. If the Merger is approved by at least two-thirds
of the outstanding shares of each class of BancWare Stock and the other
conditions to closing specified in the Reorganization Agreement are satisfied or
waived, then Newco will be merged with and into BancWare, with BancWare being
the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation") of the Merger. The
Surviving Corporation will be named BancWare, Inc. and will be a wholly owned
subsidiary of SunGard. On the Effective Date, by operation of law, the separate
corporate existence of Newco will cease.

         Conversion of BancWare Stock. Under the terms of BancWare's Articles of
Organization, as amended, in the event of a merger of BancWare, holders of
Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference of $1.125, and no more,
holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference of
$0.125 and holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled
to receive the balance of the consideration on an equal per share basis. Under
the Merger Agreement, all shares of BancWare Stock which are outstanding on the
Closing Date will be converted into SunGard Common Stock as follows:

         (i)   Each share of Preferred Stock will be converted into such
fraction of a share of SunGard Common Stock equal to $1.125 divided by the last
reported sale price of one share of SunGard Common Stock as reported on The New
York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date (the "Market Value of SunGard Common
Stock").

         (ii)  Each share of Class A Common Stock will be converted into such
fraction of a share of SunGard Common Stock equal to the sum of (a) $0.125
divided by the Market Value of SunGard Common Stock (the "Class A Liquidation
Preference") plus (b) the Class B Common Stock Merger Exchange Ratio (as
hereinafter defined).

         (iii) Each share of Class B Common Stock will be converted into such
fraction of a share of SunGard Common Stock equal to (a) 360,000 shares minus
the number of shares of SunGard Common Stock to be issued with respect to the
Preferred Stock and the Class A Liquidation Preference divided by (b) the total
of all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding on
the Effective Date and that number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock that would be outstanding on the Effective Date
assuming the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants or rights to purchase
Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (the "Class B Common Stock Merger
Exchange Ratio").

         Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of Class A
Common Stock. Because the consideration payable in the Merger with respect to
the Class A Common Stock is anticipated to be greater than the consideration
payable with respect to the Preferred Stock 

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
in the Merger, it is expected that the holders of the Preferred Stock will
convert all such stock into Class A Common Stock. Assuming that all shares of
Preferred Stock are converted into Class A Common Stock and assuming that the
Market Value of SunGard Stock was $23-7/16 per share (which, for the purpose of
this example was based upon the last reported sale price on The New York Stock
Exchange on October 27, 1997), each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock
would be converted into 0.054692631 shares of SunGard Common Stock and each
outstanding share of Class B Common Stock would be converted into 0.049359298
shares of SunGard Common Stock in the Merger (collectively, the "Assumed Merger
Exchange Ratios"). Under the Merger Agreement, the conversion of BancWare Stock
into shares of SunGard Common Stock will occur automatically on the Effective
Date without any action by the BancWare shareholders.

         Promptly upon surrender of their BancWare stock certificates, BancWare
shareholders of record on the Effective Date each will be entitled to receive a
certificate representing 90% of the number of shares of SunGard Common Stock
into which their shares of BancWare Stock are converted in the Merger. A balance
certificate representing 10% of the number of shares of SunGard Common Stock
into which each shareholder's shares of BancWare Stock are converted in the
Merger will be placed in escrow and distributed in accordance with the terms of
the Escrow Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Appendix C (the
"Escrow Agreement"). See Exchange of Stock Certificates and Escrow Agreement.
Until so surrendered, each outstanding certificate that, before the Effective
Date, represented shares of BancWare Stock will be deemed to evidence ownership
of such shares of SunGard Common Stock. No fractional shares of SunGard Common
Stock shall be issued as a result of the Merger. In lieu of the issuance of
fractional shares, the number of shares of SunGard Common Stock to be issued to
each shareholder of BancWare in accordance with this Plan shall be rounded off
to the nearest whole number of shares of SunGard Common Stock.

Conditions to Closing

         In addition to the condition that the Merger must be approved by at
least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of each class of BancWare Stock, the
Merger will occur only if certain additional conditions specified in the
Reorganization Agreement are either satisfied or waived. The additional
conditions include (among others) that on or before the Effective Date: (1) the
Registration Statement shall have become effective under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, no stop order suspending its effectiveness shall be in effect,
and no stop order with respect thereto shall be pending or threatened; (2)
SunGard shall have received a letter from Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., SunGard's
independent auditors, to the effect that, based upon the facts known to them as
of the date of such letter, the Merger will qualify for pooling-of-interests
accounting treatment if consummated in accordance with the Merger Agreement and
Reorganization Agreement; (3) SunGard shall have received from each affiliate of
BancWare including, without limitation, the Principal Selling Parties, a letter
stating that such affiliate will not sell or otherwise transfer any BancWare
Stock or SunGard Common Stock at any time during the 30 day period ending on the
Closing Date (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement) and will not sell any
shares of BancWare or SunGard received in the Merger until SunGard shall have
published financial results covering at least 30 days of post-Merger combined
operations of SunGard and BancWare; (4) the aggregate number of shares of
BancWare Stock owned by those BancWare shareholders (if any) who 

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
shall have exercised (or given notice of their intent to exercise) the rights of
dissenting stockholders under applicable corporate law shall be less than ten
percent (10%) of the total number of outstanding shares of BancWare Stock; (5)
SunGard's due diligence investigation of BancWare's Business shall have been
completed to SunGard's good faith satisfaction; (6) the representations and
warranties contained in the Reorganization Agreement shall not have been false
or misleading in any material respect, and all of the terms and conditions of
the Reorganization Agreement to be satisfied or performed by the Closing Date
shall have been substantially satisfied or performed; (7) no action, suit or
other proceeding shall have been instituted (excluding any action, suit or
proceeding initiated by one of the parties or their respective affiliates), no
judgment or order shall have been issued, and no new law shall have been
enacted, that seeks to or does prohibit or restrain, or that seeks damages as a
result of, the consummation of the Merger; (8) there shall not have been any
material adverse change or material casualty loss affecting BancWare, and there
shall not have been any material adverse change in the financial performance of
BancWare between the date the Reorganization Agreement was entered into by the
parties and the Closing Date; (9) BancWare shall have obtained all consents and
approvals of all lenders, lessors, vendors, customers and other persons
necessary to permit the Merger to be consummated without violating any loan
agreement, lease or other material contract to which BancWare is a party or by
which BancWare is bound; and (10) the Escrow Agreement shall have been executed
by BancWare shareholders representing at least 95% of the issued and outstanding
BancWare Stock and all other required parties.

         No assurance can be given as to when, if ever, all of the conditions to
closing the Merger will be satisfied or waived. If all of the conditions to
closing specified in the Reorganization Agreement are satisfied or waived, then
the Merger Agreement and appropriate Articles of Merger will be filed with the
proper officials of the States of Delaware and Massachusetts on the date of the
Special Meeting or as soon thereafter as is practicable. The Merger will become
effective on the date such filings are made with the States of Delaware and
Massachusetts.

Modification, Waiver and Termination

         At any time before the Effective Date, whether before or after the
Merger is approved by BancWare shareholders at the Special Meeting, each party
to the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement may waive any of the
terms or conditions of the Reorganization Agreement or the Merger Agreement, or
agree to any amendment or modification to either agreement, without seeking
further approval of BancWare shareholders, as long as the waiver, amendment or
modification does not result in a decrease in the merger exchange ratios or have
a material adverse effect on BancWare shareholders.

             
         At any time before the Effective Date, whether before or after the
Merger is approved by BancWare shareholders at the Special Meeting, the
Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement may be terminated, and the
Merger abandoned, by (1) the mutual written consent of SunGard and BancWare,
authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, (2) written notice from
either SunGard or BancWare to the other if the party giving such notice is not
willing to waive a condition that the other party cannot satisfy on or before
December 19, 1997, or (3) written notice from either SunGard or BancWare to the
other      

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

     
party if the Merger shall not have been consummated by December 19, 1997 for any
reason other than a breach by the party giving such notice.      

Representations and Warranties

         The representations and warranties of BancWare and the Principal
Selling Parties and of SunGard and Newco contained in the Reorganization
Agreement include various representations and warranties and are included in
Sections 3 and Section 4 of the Reorganization Agreement, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Appendix A.

Rights of Dissenting Shareholders

         Subject to consummation of the Merger, BancWare shareholders may demand
to be paid the fair value of their shares of BancWare Stock in cash, if they
follow the procedures specified in Sections 85 through 98 (inclusive) of the
Massachusetts Business Corporation Law (the "Massachusetts Dissenter's
Statute"), a copy of which is attached to this Proxy Statement-Prospectus as
Exhibit D. The following summary of the Massachusetts Dissenter's Statute is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof which is
attached as Appendix D to this Proxy Statement-Prospectus. SINCE FAILURE TO
STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE STATUTORY PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN A TERMINATION OR
WAIVER OF THESE STATUTORY RIGHTS, BANCWARE SHAREHOLDERS WHO MAY DESIRE TO
EXERCISE SUCH RIGHTS ARE URGED TO READ THE ENTIRE MASSACHUSETTS DISSENTER'S
STATUTE.

         Under the Massachusetts Dissenter's Statute, each dissenting BancWare
shareholder electing to demand the appraisal of his or her shares of BancWare
Stock must (1) file a written objection to the Merger with BancWare before the
taking of the vote on the Merger at the Special Meeting, stating the intention
of such shareholder to demand payment for the shares owned by such shareholder
if the Merger is approved and consummated, (2) vote against the Merger or
abstain from voting, and (3) make written demand to BancWare for payment for his
or her shares within 20 days after the date of mailing of a notice by BancWare
to objecting shareholders that the Merger has become effective (which notice
must be mailed by BancWare to all objecting shareholders within 10 days after
the Effective Date of the Merger).

         A vote in favor of the Merger, or the return of an executed proxy upon
which no vote is specified, will constitute a waiver of appraisal rights under
the Massachusetts Dissenter's Statute. Although voting against the Merger or
abstaining from voting is required to preserve such rights, those actions do not
satisfy the other requirements to file a written objection to the Merger before
the vote is taken and to make a written demand for payment after the vote is
taken. All three requirements must be satisfied. Both the written objection and
the written demand should be delivered to BancWare at its headquarters located
at 88 Broad Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, Attention: Chief Financial
Officer. In order to prove delivery, it is recommended that objections and
demands be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
         If a BancWare shareholder objects to the Merger and timely preserves
his or her rights under the Massachusetts Dissenter's Statute, then BancWare and
the dissenting BancWare shareholders have a period of 30 days, beginning after
the end of the 20-day period for making written demands, to agree on an
appraisal value. If agreement is not reached during the 30-day period, then
BancWare or any such shareholder may file a bill in equity in the Superior court
of Suffolk County, Massachusetts, asking that the court determine the value in
issue. The bill in equity must be filed within four months after the end of the
30-day period. After a hearing, the court will enter a decree determining the
value of the BancWare Stock and will order BancWare to make payment of such
value (and interest, if any) to the shareholders entitled to payment. For
appraisal proceeding purposes, value is determined as of the day before the
approval of the Merger by BancWare shareholders and excludes any element of
value arising from the expectation or accomplishment of the Merger.

         The Massachusetts Dissenter's Statute provides that each party shall
bear its own legal and other professional fees and such other costs as the court
directs. The Massachusetts Dissenter's Statute also contains provisions
regarding dividends on dissenting shares, rights of dissenting shares prior to
purchase, discontinuance of dissenters' rights, and other related matters. The
right of appraisal under the Massachusetts Dissenter's Statute is the exclusive
remedy of a BancWare shareholder who objects to the Merger, although the
Massachusetts Dissenter's Statute does not prohibit a BancWare shareholder from
bringing an appropriate proceeding to obtain relief on the grounds that the
Merger is or will be illegal or fraudulent as to that shareholder. In addition,
the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has held that dissenting shareholders
are not limited to the statutory remedy of judicial appraisal where violation of
fiduciary duty exists.

         Under the Merger Agreement, BancWare is responsible for paying all cash
amounts due to dissenting BancWare shareholders. SunGard's obligation to
consummate the Merger, however, is subject to the condition (which it may waive)
that dissenting BancWare shareholders hold less than 10% of the outstanding
shares of BancWare Stock.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

         The following summary of certain federal income tax consequences of the
Merger has been prepared by counsel to SunGard and is based upon certain
representations by BancWare and SunGard and certain assumptions. This summary is
included solely for the general information of BancWare shareholders. BECAUSE
THE TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR ANY PARTICULAR SHAREHOLDER MAY BE AFFECTED BY MATTERS
NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN THIS SUMMARY, EACH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT HIS OWN
TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES (INCLUDING ANY STATE AND LOCAL TAX
CONSEQUENCES) RESULTING FROM THE MERGER AND FROM ANY LATER DISPOSITION OF
SUNGARD COMMON STOCK ACQUIRED PURSUANT TO THE MERGER, OR RESULTING FROM THE
RECEIPT OF CASH AFTER EXERCISE OF DISSENTER'S RIGHTS.

         Provided that the Merger qualifies as a statutory merger under
applicable state law and that holders of no more than 10% of the shares of
BancWare Stock exercise dissenter's rights: (1) the Merger will constitute a
reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the 

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
"Code"); (2) no gain or loss will be recognized by SunGard upon the exchange of
BancWare Stock solely in exchange for SunGard Common Stock; (3) no gain or loss
will be recognized by BancWare shareholders upon the exchange of their BancWare
Stock solely for SunGard Common Stock; (4) the basis of SunGard Common Stock
received by BancWare shareholders in the Merger will be the same as the basis of
their BancWare Stock surrendered in exchange therefor; (5) for capital gains
purposes, the holding period of SunGard Common Stock received by BancWare
shareholders in the Merger will include the period during which the BancWare
Stock surrendered in exchange therefor was held, provided that such BancWare
Stock is held as a capital asset on the Effective Date; and (6) cash received
for BancWare Stock by a BancWare shareholder who exercises dissenter's rights
will be treated as payment for such stock, subject to the conditions and
limitations of Section 302 of the Code.

Conduct of Business Before Closing

         The Reorganization Agreement provides that, between September 22, 1997
(the date of the Reorganization Agreement) and the Effective Date, except with
SunGard's consent, the Principal Selling Parties and BancWare will comply with
certain requirements, summarized as follows:

              1. BancWare will, and the Principal Selling Parties will cause
         BancWare to, conduct its business in a diligent manner, refrain from
         making any material change in its business practices, and use its best
         efforts to preserve its business organization intact, keeping available
         the services of its current officers and employees, and maintaining the
         good will of its customers and other persons having business relations
         with BancWare. Each Principal Selling Party involved in BancWare's
         daily business operations will remain actively involved in BancWare's
         business consistent with past practices and will consult with SunGard
         as to the management of BancWare's business and affairs.

              2. Except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
         practices, BancWare will not, and the Principal Selling Parties will
         not permit BancWare to, create any encumbrance upon any of its assets,
         incur any debt, make any loan, guarantee any third party obligation,
         commit for any capital expenditure, dispose of any assets, waive any
         right, assume or enter into any contract (other than the Reorganization
         Agreement, the Merger Agreement and any other contract contemplated
         thereby), increase employee compensation or benefits, or do anything
         else outside the ordinary course of business consistent with past
         practices.

              3. Even in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
         practices, BancWare will not, and the Principals will not permit
         BancWare to, borrow or lend any funds, purchase any goods or services,
         lease any equipment, incur any debt, or enter into any contract
         (excluding customer contracts and related commitments entered into in
         the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices) or
         other transaction involving, in any single case, an amount exceeding
         $15,000 or, in the aggregate, an amount exceeding $75,000 with certain
         specified exceptions.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
              4. BancWare will not, and the Principal Selling Parties will not
         permit BancWare to, cause a breach or default under any of its
         contracts, insurance policies, licenses or permits, adopt any new
         employee benefit plan, participate in any merger, consolidation or
         reorganization, begin to engage in any new type of business, acquire

         partially liquidate or dissolve, or terminate any material part of its
         business.

              5. BancWare will, and the Principal Selling Parties will cause
         BancWare to, maintain its real estate and fixed personal property

         destroyed, lost or stolen, comply with all applicable laws, properly
         file all tax returns, fully pay when due all taxes payable by it,
         maintain its corporate existence and good standing in applicable
         jurisdictions, and refrain from amending its charter or bylaws.

              6. BancWare will not, and the Principal Selling Parties will not
         permit BancWare to, redeem, retire or purchase, or create, grant or
         issue any contracts, options, warrants or other rights with respect to,
         any shares of BancWare Stock, or create, grant or issue any stock
         options, stock appreciation rights, phantom shares or other similar
         rights. BancWare and each Principal Selling Party will maintain all of
         their shares of BancWare Stock free of any claims or encumbrances, and
         will not sell, dispose of or encumber any such shares. The foregoing,
         however, will not prohibit the conversion of Preferred Stock into Class
         A Common Stock in accordance with its terms or the exercise of any
         outstanding stock options in accordance with their terms. Neither
         BancWare nor any Principal Selling Party will buy, sell or engage in
         any other transaction involving SunGard Common Stock other than in
         connection with the Merger.

              7. Neither BancWare nor any Principal Selling Party (nor any
         officer, employee, representative or agent of BancWare) will, directly
         or indirectly, solicit, initiate, encourage or respond to inquiries or
         proposals from, or participate in any discussions or negotiations with,
         or provide any non-public information to, any person or group (other
         than SunGard) concerning any sale of any material portion of BancWare'
         assets, any sale of shares of BancWare Stock, or any merger,
         consolidation or similar transaction involving BancWare. BancWare and
         the Principal Selling Parties will advise SunGard of the terms of any
         such inquiry or proposal received by them.

         SunGard and Newco and, subject to the approval of the Merger by
BancWare's shareholders, BancWare each agreed to take such action as is required
to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby as of
the earliest practicable date and to refrain from taking any action that would
impair the prospect of completing the Merger. SunGard is not prevented under the
Merger Agreement or the Reorganization Agreement from proceeding with other
mergers or acquisitions, regardless of whether SunGard Common Stock or other
securities are used as the consideration.

Fees and Expenses

         Each party will pay all fees and expenses incurred by it in
consummating the Merger. If the shareholders of BancWare fail to approve the
Merger, and if the Principal Selling Parties either fail to vote their shares in
favor of the Merger or encourage other BancWare shareholders to vote against the
Merger, BancWare has agreed to pay SunGard the sum of $1,000,000. In addition,
if the shareholders of BancWare fail to approve the Merger and if BancWare is
acquired, or agrees to be acquired prior to September 22, 1998, BancWare would
be obligated to pay SunGard an amount equal to twenty-five percent of the excess
of the acquisition price over $9,000,000, less any amount paid to SunGard
pursuant to the preceding sentence.

Accounting Treatment

         It is anticipated that the Merger will be accounted for by SunGard
under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. Under that method of
accounting: (1) the historical book values of the assets, liabilities and
stockholders' equity of BancWare will be carried over on the consolidated
balance sheet of SunGard, and no goodwill will be created; (2) if material,
SunGard will include in its consolidated financial statements the operating
results of BancWare for the entire year during which the Merger is consummated,
and, if material, SunGard will combine the operating results of BancWare and
restate its previously reported operating results for prior periods; and (3)
certain expenses incurred by SunGard, BancWare and the BancWare shareholders to
effect the Merger, currently estimated at a total of $800,000, will be charged
against SunGard's consolidated income in the quarter during which the Merger is
consummated but may not be deductible for income tax purposes.

         The consummation of the Merger is subject to the condition that SunGard
receives a letter from Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. to the effect that, based upon
the facts known to them as of the date of such letter, the Merger will qualify
for pooling-of-interests accounting treatment if consummated in accordance with
the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

         Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, each Principal Selling Party
has agreed that (a) before closing of the Merger, he will not sell, dispose of
or encumber, or otherwise reduce his risk relating to, any of his BancWare
Stock, and (b) after the Merger is consummated, he will not sell, dispose of or
encumber (except for pledges in connection with fully recourse bank loans), or
otherwise reduce his risk relating to, any SunGard Common Stock he receives as a
result of the Merger, until SunGard shall have published financial results
covering at least 30 days of post-Merger combined operations of SunGard and
BancWare. Such restrictions are required in connection with pooling-of-interests
transactions.

Regulatory Matters

         Other than certain filings under certain federal securities laws and
certain state securities or "blue sky" laws, there are no federal or state
regulatory requirements that must be complied with or approval obtained in
connection with the Merger.

Management of BancWare After Closing and Other Employment Matters

         Post-Closing Management. BancWare will be the Surviving Corporation of
the Merger and, after the Effective Date, will continue to own and operate the
business conducted by BancWare before the Effective Date. SunGard intends that
the operations of the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Date will be
conducted substantially the same as those of BancWare before the Effective Date,
with present BancWare management personnel retained.

         Consistent with SunGard's management of its other subsidiaries, the
Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation will consist of Cristobal I.
Conde, Lawrence A. Gross and Michael J. Ruane, and the officers of the Surviving
Corporation will include certain of the current officers of BancWare, William E.
Popp, President, and M. I. Mandalinci, Chief Operating Officer, plus Cristobal
I. Conde, who will become the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas J.
McDugall, who will become the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, Lawrence A.
Gross, who will become Assistant Vice President and Clerk, and Andrew P.
Bronstein and Michael J. Ruane, who will each become Assistant Vice President
and Assistant Clerk. Cristobal I. Conde is the Chief Executive Officer of
SunGard Trading Systems Group, Thomas J. McDugall is the Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer of SunGard Trading Systems Group, Lawrence A. Gross is
the Vice President and General Counsel of SunGard, Andrew P. Bronstein is the
Vice President and Controller of SunGard, and Michael J. Ruane is the Vice
President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer of SunGard.

         Other Employees. All employees of BancWare as of the Effective Date
will be employed by the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Date on an
"at-will" basis and for the same salaries or wages in effect as of the date of
the Reorganization Agreement

         Employee Benefit Plans. As soon as practicable after the Effective
Date, SunGard and the executives of BancWare shall review the employee benefit
plans of BancWare to determine which such plans should remain in effect as plans
of the Surviving Corporation and which should be replaced with SunGard's
employee benefit plans, with a view toward replacing all of the plans of
BancWare with SunGard's employee benefit plans except where cost factors or
unusual circumstances dictate otherwise.

         Stock Options. After the closing of the Merger (the "Closing"),
BancWare's 1988 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1988 ISO Plan") for key
employees shall remain in effect only as long as any options granted before
Closing remain outstanding thereunder, provided that no further options shall be
granted under the 1988 ISO Plan. In addition, options granted by BancWare to
certain directors, Frank Rizzo and John N. Rees, but not pursuant to the 1988
ISO Plan, will remain in effect after the closing of the Merger. As soon as is
practicable after the Closing, the 1988 ISO Plan and the options granted to
Messrs. Rizzo and Rees shall be amended to (a) change the definition of
"Committee," "Compensation Committee" or "Stock Option Committee" to mean the
Compensation Committee of SunGard's Board of Directors, (b) change all
references to "Class B Common Stock" to mean SunGard Common Stock, and (c) make
other similar or conforming changes.

         Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger. Of the outstanding BancWare
Stock, approximately 84.5% is beneficially owned by persons who are employed by
BancWare, including its officers and directors. See Principal Shareholders of
BancWare.

Exchange of Stock Certificates

         As soon as is practicable after the Effective Date, instructions and a
letter of transmittal for surrendering outstanding certificates that immediately
before the Effective Date represented shares of BancWare Stock will be mailed to
each BancWare shareholder of record. Upon the surrender of such certificate and
a properly completed letter of transmittal to Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A. (the
"Exchange Agent") in accordance with such instructions, the Exchange Agent shall
exchange such certificate for (a) a new certificate representing 90% of such
number of shares of SunGard Common Stock into which the shares of BancWare Stock
represented by such certificate have been converted in accordance with the
Merger Agreement ("Closing Stock"), which shall be promptly delivered to the
holder, and (b) a new certificate for the balance of such number of shares of
SunGard Common Stock into which the share of BancWare Stock represented by such
certificate have been converted ("Escrowed Stock"), which shall be held in
escrow and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. If
applicable, such certificates shall be accompanied by any distributions due with
respect to shares of SunGard Common Stock that were paid to SunGard's
stockholders of record as of a date between the Effective Date and the date of
distribution of either the certificate representing the Closing Stock or the
certificate representing the Escrowed Stock.

         Until surrendered in accordance with the foregoing, each outstanding
certificate that immediately before the Effective Date represented shares of
BancWare Stock shall be deemed to evidence ownership of the number of shares of
SunGard Common Stock, into which the shares of BancWare Stock represented by
such certificate have been converted in accordance with the Merger Agreement,
subject to the escrow requirement described above; provided, however, that any
such certificate that is not properly submitted for exchange to SunGard or the
Exchange Agent within two years after the Effective Date shall no longer
evidence ownership of shares of Closing Stock or Escrowed Stock and all rights
of the holder of such certificate, as a stockholder of SunGard with respect to
the shares previously evidenced by such certificate, shall cease.

         PLEASE DO NOT SEND IN ANY CERTIFICATES FOR YOUR BANCWARE STOCK AT THIS
TIME.

Escrow Agreement

         Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the form of which is attached as
Appendix C, to be entered into among BancWare, SunGard, Newco, the Principal
Selling Parties, the Exchange Agent and the shareholders of BancWare, the
Exchange Agent will maintain an account for each BancWare shareholder containing
such shareholder's Escrowed Stock. The Escrowed Stock will be distributed to the
BancWare shareholders one year after the Effective Date, less the shares and
cash having a value equal to the aggregate amount set forth in any payment
notices delivered by SunGard under Section 2 of the Escrow Agreement for

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
 
indemnification matters under Sections 14 and 5.3 of the Reorganization
Agreement. The Escrow Agreement may be amended to add other provisions relating
to the Escrow Agent by the mutual consent of SunGard, Newco, BancWare, the
Escrow Agent and the Principal Selling Parties and any such amendment(s) shall
be binding on all parties to the Escrow Agreement. It is a condition precedent
to SunGard's obligation to consummate the Merger that BancWare shareholders
representing at least 95% of the BancWare Stock become party to the Escrow
Agreement.

Resales of SunGard Common Stock

         The shares of SunGard Common Stock to be issued in the Merger have been
registered under the Securities Act and will be freely transferable, except for
shares received by those shareholders who may be deemed to be "affiliates" of
BancWare, as that term is defined in Rule 145 under the Securities Act. Rule 145
limits the amount of SunGard Common Stock that such persons may sell during any
three-month period and specifies certain other restrictions on resale. In the
Reorganization Agreement, the Principal Selling Parties agreed not to sell or
otherwise transfer any of the SunGard Common Stock they receive in connection
with the Merger, except in compliance with the Securities Act and any other
applicable securities laws. In addition, the Principal Selling Parties have
agreed that they will not sell any shares of SunGard Common Stock received in
the Merger until SunGard shall have published financial results covering at
least 30 days of post-Merger combined operations of SunGard and BancWare. See
Conditions to Closing.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

SunGard Capital Stock

         The authorized capital stock of SunGard consists of 120,000,000 shares
of SunGard Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01
per share ("SunGard Preferred Stock"). As of October 21,1997, there were
approximately 87,789,932 shares of SunGard Common Stock outstanding. No shares
of SunGard Preferred Stock have been issued.

         The holders of SunGard Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share.
Subject to the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and
restrictions of any series of SunGard Preferred Stock that may be issued,
holders of SunGard Common Stock are entitled, among other things, to (1)
dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of funds
legally available therefor, and (2) a ratable share in the distribution of
assets legally available therefor upon the liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the corporation after payment of debts and expenses. The holders
of Common Stock have no preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares of
SunGard.

         As of October 21, 1997, there were approximately 3,208 holders of
record of SunGard Common Stock.

         The Board of Directors of SunGard may, without action of the
stockholders, issue SunGard Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more
series with distinctive dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other
rights and preferences which could adversely affect the voting power or other
rights of the holders of SunGard Common Stock. It is not possible to state the
actual effect of the authorization of SunGard Preferred Stock upon the rights of
the holders of SunGard Common Stock until the Board of Directors determines the
specific rights of the holders of a series of SunGard Preferred Stock. Issuance
of SunGard Preferred Stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection
with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could make it more
difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting
stock of SunGard. Although SunGard has no present plans to issue any shares of
SunGard Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that SunGard will not do so
in the future.

         The transfer agent and registrar for SunGard Common Stock is Norwest
Bank Minnesota, N.A.

BancWare Capital Stock

         BancWare is authorized by its Articles of Organization, as amended, to
issue 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value per share,
6,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, and
1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share. As of August 31,
1997, there were 1,086,532 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and held
of record by 56 shareholders, 5,280,475 shares of Class B Common Stock
outstanding and held of record by 7 shareholders, and 205,000 shares of
Preferred Stock outstanding and held of record by 15 shareholders.

                                      -16-
<PAGE>
 
         BancWare acts as its own transfer agent and registrar with respect to
the BancWare Stock.

Common Stock

         The holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (together,
the "Common Stock") are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be
voted upon by the shareholders. The holders of Common Stock of both classes are
entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time
by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. Except in
connection with a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BancWare, no
dividends may be paid on any shares of either class of Common Stock unless the
same dividend is paid on all shares of Common Stock of both classes outstanding
at the time of such payment and unless equivalent or greater dividends are
declared and paid at the same time on the Preferred Stock.

         In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BancWare, or
the merger or consolidation of BancWare with another corporation in which the
BancWare shareholders receive distributions of cash, assets or securities as a
result of such consolidation or merger, or the sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all the assets of BancWare, the holders of
shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to be paid out of BancWare's assets
available for distribution to its shareholders, after payment to holders of
Preferred Stock, but before any payment shall be made to the holders of Class B
Common Stock, an amount equal to $.125 per share plus declared but unpaid
dividends on the Class A Common Stock, if any (the "Class A Liquidation
Preference"). In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
BancWare, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of Preferred
Stock of the Preferred Liquidation Preference (as defined below) and to the
holders of the Class A Common Stock of the Class A Liquidation Preference, the
holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be entitled, to
the exclusion of the holders of Preferred Stock, to share ratably in all
BancWare assets remaining for distribution.

         Shares of Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other
subscription rights. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and
non-assessable.

 Preferred Stock

         The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to one vote per share on
all matters to be voted upon by the shareholders. No dividends may be declared
or paid on any class of Common Stock unless equal or greater dividends are
declared and paid on the Preferred Stock at the same time.

         In the event of liquidation, dissolution winding up of BancWare, or the
merger or consolidation of BancWare with another corporation in which the
BancWare shareholders receive distributions of cash, assets or securities as a
result of such consolidation or merger, or the sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all the assets of BancWare, holders of
shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to be paid out of BancWare's assets
available for distribution to its shareholders (a) before any payment shall be
made to the 

                                      -17-
<PAGE>
 
holders of Class A Common Stock, an amount equal to $1.00 per share plus
declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock, if any, and (b) before any
payment shall be made to the holders of Class B Common Stock, an amount equal to
an additional $.125 per share plus declared but unpaid dividends on the
Preferred Stock, if any (the "Preferred Liquidation Preference").

         Shares of Preferred Stock are convertible, at the option of the holder
thereof, into Class A Common Stock. All shares of Preferred Stock are currently
convertible on a one-for-one basis into Class A Common Stock. A holder of shares
of Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion right by delivering the
certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted to BancWare at its
main offices during business hours, duly endorsed or assigned in blank or to
BancWare, accompanied by a written notice stating that the holder elects to
convert such shares and stating the name or names (with address) in which the
certificate or certificates for the shares of Class A Common Stock are to be
issued.

         Shares of Preferred Stock will not be convertible after the Closing
Date.

         Shares of Preferred Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or
other subscription rights. All outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are fully
paid and non-assessable.

Stock Options

         As of July 31, 1997, BancWare had issued and outstanding options (the
"Options") held by eight individuals to purchase an aggregate of 581,900 shares
of Class B Common Stock. Options to purchase 80,000 shares are exercisable at
$0.05 per share, options to purchase 239,900 shares are exercisable at $0.15 per
share, options to purchase 240,000 shares are exercisable at $0.40 per share,
and options to purchase 22,000 shares are exercisable at $0.56 per share. All of
the Options will become immediately exercisable upon the Merger. On the
Effective Date, each Option shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any
action on the part of the holder thereof, be automatically adjusted to provide
that (a) the number and type of shares issuable upon exercise of such Option
shall be that number of shares of SunGard Common Stock (rounded off to the
nearest whole number of shares) equal to the number of shares of BancWare Stock
issuable upon exercise of such Option immediately before the Effective Date,
multiplied by the Class B Common Stock Merger Exchange Ratio, and (b) the
exercise price per share of SunGard Common Stock under such Option shall be that
amount (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price per
share of BancWare Stock under such Option immediately before the Effective Date,
divided by the Class B Common Stock Merger Exchange Ratio

                           COMPARISON OF THE RIGHTS OF
                      STOCKHOLDERS OF SUNGARD AND BANCWARE
 
         Upon consummation of the Merger, all BancWare shareholders (other than
BancWare shareholders who perfect dissenter's rights) will become stockholders
of SunGard, and their rights as stockholders will be governed by the Delaware
General Corporation Law ("Delaware Corporate Law") and by SunGard's Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation. 

                                      -18-
<PAGE>
 
Stockholders of SunGard, like shareholders of BancWare, are entitled to (1)
dividends if, as and when declared by the board of directors out of funds
legally available therefor, (2) one vote per share on all matters submitted to a
vote of stockholders, and (3) ratable sharing in the distribution of assets
legally available therefor upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of
the corporation after payment of debts and expenses. Like shareholders of
BancWare, stockholders of SunGard have no preemptive rights.

         There are certain differences in stockholder rights between Delaware
Corporate Law and the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law ("Massachusetts
Corporate Law") which currently governs the rights of BancWare shareholders.
Some of the more significant differences are:

         1. Delaware Corporate Law requires only a majority vote of stockholders
to approve a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or charter amendment, while
Massachusetts Corporate Law requires a two-thirds vote to approve these actions.

         2. Delaware Corporate Law provides for dissenter's rights of appraisal
only with respect to certain mergers and consolidations, while Massachusetts
Corporate Law generally provides for such rights with respect to all mergers and
consolidations as well as certain dispositions and adverse charter amendments.

         3. Delaware Corporate Law generally permits broader indemnification of
directors and officers than does Massachusetts Corporate Law. SunGard's bylaws
provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
Corporate Law. In addition, SunGard has entered into indemnification agreements
(in the form approved by its stockholders) with its directors and officers that
provide indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Corporate
Law and, in certain respects, provide greater protection than that specifically
provided by Delaware Corporate Law.

         4. Although Delaware Corporate Law and Massachusetts Corporate Law
permit corporations to adopt charter provisions limiting the liability of
directors to the corporation and its stockholders under certain circumstances,
the permitted limitations under Delaware Corporate Law are somewhat more
beneficial to directors than those under Massachusetts Corporate Law.

         Unlike the charter of BancWare, SunGard's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors of SunGard to
issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more
series with distinctive serial designations. The issuance of Preferred Stock by
SunGard could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of
the outstanding voting stock of SunGard and could adversely affect the rights of
holders of SunGard Common Stock, such as dividend and liquidation rights.

                         RECENT DEVELOPMENTS OF SUNGARD

         On October 17, 1997, SunGard entered into an agreement to merge with
Infinity Financial Technology, Inc. ("Infinity") in a stock-for-stock
transaction in which each share of Infinity common stock will be exchanged for
0.68 of a share of SunGard Common Stock (the "Infinity Merger"). Based upon
SunGard's closing price of $24-1/16 on October 16, 1997, the shares to be issued
by SunGard in the transaction, representing approximately fifteen percent of its
outstanding shares, will have a value of approximately $313 million.

         Infinity develops, markets and supports enterprise software solutions
for financial trading and risk management. Infinity, which was founded in 1989
by current chief executive officer Roger A. Lang, Jr., targets global
organizations that manage complex financial assets and has about seventy
installations, including some of the premier financial institutions worldwide.
Infinity's suite of off-the-shelf applications, which run on Windows NT and UNIX
operating systems, are based on the open Infinity Data Model and Fin ++ Class
Library.

         SunGard management believes that, while the acquisition of Infinity
could add to SunGard's 1998 earnings growth, it should dilute 1997 earnings by
approximately $0.04 per share exclusive of one-time costs related to the merger.
The acquisition, which is intended to be accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests, is expected to close by the end of 1997 or early in 1998,
subject to, among other things, regulatory approval and approval of the
shareholders of Infinity.

         The following Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Data
assumes that the Infinity Merger has occurred on January 1, 1994, combining the
results of SunGard and Infinity as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1996, with the Infinity Merger accounted for on
a pooling-of-interests basis. The pro forma information is provided for
illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations that actually would have been obtained if the Infinity Merger had
been effected on the dates indicated or the results that may be obtained in the
future.

         During the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, SunGard has
completed seven acquisitions. Pro forma data for these acquisitions are not
presented because, except for one time charges related to purchased in-process
research and development as described in Note 5 to the Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Condensed Financial Data appearing on page 21, the financial condition
and results of operations as reported in SunGard's historical financial
statements would not be materially different.

         The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Data should be
read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related
notes thereto of SunGard and Infinity, all of which are incorporated by
reference in this Proxy Statement-Prospectus.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF BANCWARE


General

         BancWare was founded in 1982 and provides planning, reporting, and
analysis software to the banking industry. Its two main products are BancWare
Convergence, a planning and analysis model, and BancWare Financial Controller, a
data collection and distribution tool.

         BancWare's sales come from three primary sources: sales of new software
licenses, consulting and training services, and annual maintenance which
includes license renewal and customer support. Revenues first topped $1,000,000
in 1992 and reached $2,651,000 in 1996. Revenues for the first six months of
1997 were $1,921,000, as compared to $1,369,000 for the same period for 1996.

         Much of the recent growth in sales has come in international markets.
In the second half of 1995, BancWare entered into distribution agreements with
distributors in Korea, Japan and Australia, and all have produced significant
sales. A European distributor was added in December 1996. BancWare's new
software licensing revenues are generated by a relatively small number of sales,
each with a significant dollar value. While Management believes that the overall
trend in revenues will continue to be positive, revenues are likely to fluctuate
unpredictably when viewed on a quarter-to-quarter, or even a year-to-year basis.

         All areas of BancWare's business have been expanding over the past two
years. Despite consolidation in the banking business, which continues to be a
significant business risk, BancWare's customer retention has been very strong.
As a result, as new licenses are sold the customer base grows leading to growth
in consulting, training, and license renewal revenues. In addition to its
distributors, BancWare has an internal sales team that now has four members,
three of which were added in June 1997. The expanded sales force is expected to
have a significant impact starting in the fourth quarter of 1997.

         BancWare's operations are self-funding and management believes the
company's capital resources are sufficient to fund current needs. Within this
goal of being self-funding, management invests as much as possible in the growth
of the business by devoting resources to product development and sales. BancWare
has a $350,000 working capital line of credit that currently has no amounts
outstanding against it.

         Product sales are not seasonal but can fluctuate widely from month to
month due to the timing of orders. BancWare has a diverse customer base within
the banking industry and is not dependent on any single customer.

         BancWare has two key product development projects scheduled for
completion at the end of 1997. One is for the Option Adjusted Value of Risk,
which is critical for continuing sales of BancWare Convergence. The other is
Mapping Manager, which is a Windows(TM) based 

                                      -23-
<PAGE>
 
replacement for the Extract Manager and is critical for BancWare Financial
Controller sales. Delays in completing these projects could have a significant
impact on BancWare revenues.

         The software employment market in the Boston area is currently very
competitive. Though BancWare does not anticipate losing any key employees in the
near future, there is considerable risk of such loss, and any losses could
adversely affect development schedules and sales targets. The competitive
employment market will also continue to apply pressure to salary levels. Travel
expenses, which are the next largest category after compensation, are expected
to remain proportionate to sales. Within 18 months, BancWare expects to require
additional office space and expects to renegotiate the five-year lease it signed
late in 1996.

Results of Operations

         Revenues

         Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1997 totaled $1,921,000,
an increase of 40% from the same period in 1996. Domestic license sales grew
27%, from $378,000 to $481,000, and new license sales by foreign distributors
grew 65%, from $268,000 to $443,000. The foreign sales increase was primarily
due to foreign distributors in their second year with BancWare becoming
increasingly productive. Consulting revenue rose 80% due to growth of the
customer base and a 40% rate increase. Maintenance revenue was up 9% due to an
increased customer base. Revenue per employee was $80,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, and $68,000 for the same period in 1996.

         Net revenue in 1996 increased 32% to $2,651,000 from $2,008,000 in
1995. Most of the increase came from new license sales in international markets
as BancWare's distributors in Korea, Australia, and Japan became productive. In
1996, total billing to customers outside North America was $581,000, up from
$91,000 in 1995. Though new license sales in North American declined 5%, the
increase in the installed base of customers led to a 16% increase in maintenance
revenue and a 26% increase in consulting and training fees.

         Net revenue in 1995 was up 10% from 1994. New license sales increased
9% while maintenance and consulting revenues increased 6% and 11%, respectively,
as a result of the larger customer base. Sales per employee were $121,000,
$112,000, and $107,000 in 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.

         Expenses

         Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 totaled
$1,689,000, an increase of 34% from the same period in 1996. This increase is
partly due to the increase in sales, but primarily reflects management's efforts
to invest as much as possible in expansion of the business. Headcount, including
contractors, increased from 22 at June 30, 1996 to 28 at June 30, 1997. Three
new sales people were added in June 1997 but management believes it will take at
lease several months to realize new sales as a result of these additions.
Operating margin was 12% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 8% for the
same period in 1996.

                                      -24-
<PAGE>
 
         Operating expenses in 1996 increased 31% to $2,697,000 from $2,062,000
in 1995. Part of the increase is due to increases in sales, but the remainder is
from investment in product development. During 1996, total headcount increased
from 18 to 24, and payroll expenses in engineering and product management
increased 122% over 1995. Expenses in 1995 increased 14% to $2,062,000 from
$1,811,000 in 1994. Operating margins were (2)%, (3)%, and 1% in 1996, 1995, and
1994, respectively.

         Income Taxes

         Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $62,000,
an effective rate of 26% compared to 15% for the same period in 1996. No federal
income taxes were accrued in 1996, while $35,000 was accrued through June 30,
1997.

         The provision for state income taxes in 1996 was $62,000 and $28,400 in
1995. There was no federal income tax expense recorded either year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At June 30, 1997, BancWare had cash and equivalents of $145,000, up
from $58,000 a year earlier, reflecting cumulative profitability. Receivables
were $574,000, up from $432,000 a year earlier, due to higher sales. The ratio
of current assets to total liabilities was .88:1 at June 30, 1997 and .91:1 at
June 30, 1996.

         At December 31, 1996, BancWare had cash and equivalents of $151,000,
down from $376,000 at December 31, 1995. Most of this change had to do with the
timing of sales and collections, which can fluctuate greatly month to month due
to the timing of license sales and renewals. Receivables at December 31, 1996
were $365,000 and the ratio of current assets to total liabilities was .65:1. At
December 31, 1995, receivables were $98,000 and the ratio of current assets to
total liabilities was .77:1. Cash and equivalents at December 31, 1995 were
$5,000 higher than at December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1994, the ratio of
current assets to total liabilities was .85:1.

         As of June 30, 1997, BancWare had a line of credit of $350,000 from a
local bank. This line of credit was $175,000, $100,000, and $50,000 at December
31, 1996, December 31, 1995, and December 31, 1994, respectively. No amounts
were outstanding on any of those dates however. Due to fluctuations in
collections, BancWare has borrowed funds under the line of credit periodically.

                         ----------------------------




The Board of Directors
BancWare, Inc.
Boston, Massachusetts


         We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of BancWare, Inc. as of
December 31, 1996 and for each of the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 the
related statements of operations, deficiency in assets, and cash flows. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audit.

         We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BancWare, Inc. at
December 31, 1996 and for each of the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 the
results of its operations and its cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

         As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, certain errors
resulting in overstatement of previously reported net income as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, were discovered by management of the Company during the current
year. Accordingly, an adjustment has been made to deficit as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, to correct the errors.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         -----------------------------


1.       Nature of Business:
         ------------------

         BancWare, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on September 1, 1982 at
which time the Company acquired the net assets from BancWare (a predecessor
partnership) in exchange for common stock. The Company designs, develops and
markets proprietary computer software throughout the world.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
         ------------------------------------------

         Property, Equipment and Depreciation - Property and equipment are
         ------------------------------------
stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method at rates
sufficient to write off the cost of the applicable assets over their estimated
useful lives.

         Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue from various
         -------------------
sources as follows:

         Renewals/Maintenance Income - Revenue from license renewals is
recognized upon renewal of the contract. Revenue from maintenance contracts is
recognized over the term of the contract.

         New License Fee Income is recognized as revenue as follows:

         Standard Orders - License fees for standard orders, orders which do not
require acceptance or penalty clauses after delivery of the product, are
recognized upon delivery.

         Conditional Orders - License fees for conditional orders which require
customer acceptance contingencies, are recognized upon final acceptance of the
licensed product by the customer.

         Consulting and Training - Consulting and training income is recognized
as services are performed.

         Advertising - The Company expenses advertising as incurred. Advertising
         -----------
expense was $7,231 and $1,935 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

         Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
         ----------------
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Bad Debts - The Company uses the allowance method of accounting for bad
         ---------
debts. No allowance was deemed necessary at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         -----------------------------


         Income Taxes - Investment tax and research and development credits are
         ------------
accounted for as a reduction of the provision for Federal income taxes in the
year realized.

3.       Software Production Costs:
         -------------------------

         In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for
Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", the
company expenses all costs to develop computer software.

4.       Income Taxes:
         ------------

         In accordance with SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the Company
recorded deferred tax assets net of a valuation allowance to reflect the future
tax benefits of financial operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and
temporary differences due primarily to differences between tax and financial
reporting for software development costs and software maintenance revenues.

         A valuation allowance is required by SFAS 109 if, based on the weight
of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The need for a valuation allowance
is evaluated periodically by management. Based on available evidence, management
concluded that a valuation allowance of $199,800 and $291,100 was necessary at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         At December 31, 1996 and 1995, income tax expense consisted solely of
state income taxes. No federal income tax expense was recorded due to the use of
federal tax credit and net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has unused
tax credits available to offset future taxable income and tax liabilities as
follows:

         --------------------------

         On April 20, 1988 the Company established an incentive stock option
plan that provides for the granting of options to certain key employees of the
corporation. Under the terms of the plan, the aggregate number of shares which
may be issued upon exercise of all options granted under the plan shall not

which shares of stock may be purchased under the plan shall be determined by the
Board of Directors and such price shall be at least equal to the fair market

exercise of the non-qualified option is subject to continuous affiliation of the
optionee as a director or consultant for the Company.

control of, or be a director, officer, employee, salesman, agent or
representative of, or be a consultant to, any Person that conducts a business
competitive with or similar to all or any part of SunGard's Trading Systems
Business.

          13.4.   Certain Exclusions. For purposes of this Section 13,
confidential and proprietary knowledge and information of the SunGard Group
shall not include any knowledge and information that is now known by or readily
available to the general public, or that becomes known by or readily available
to the general public other than as a result of any breach of this Section 13.
The ownership by any of the Principal Selling Parties of not more than five
percent of the outstanding securities of any public company shall not, by
itself, constitute a breach of the Covenants of Section 133, even if such public
company competes with the SunGard Group. The provisions of Section 13.3(b) and
(c) shall not prohibit Drane's ownership of the stock or securities of any
Person or his being a member of the board of directors of any such Person
provided that (a) Drane is not involved in the active management or operation of
such Person and (b) the services or products offered by any such Person which
competes with SunGard's Trading Systems Business are and remain ancillary to and
in support of the principal products or services provided by such Person and are
not offered as a stand-alone or principal service or product.

          13.5.   Enforcement of Covenants. Each of the Principal Selling
Parties expressly acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult to measure
the damages that might result

                                      A-35
<PAGE>
 
from any breach of the Covenants, and that any breach of the Covenants will
result in irreparable injury to the SunGard Group for which money damages could
not adequately compensate. If a breach of the Covenants occurs, SunGard shall be
entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies that SunGard may have at
law or in equity, to have an injunction issued by any competent court enjoining
and restraining any or all Principal Selling Parties and all other Persons
involved therein from continuing such breach. The existence of any claim or
cause of action that any or all Principal Selling Parties or any such other
Person may have against any member of the SunGard Group shall not constitute a
defense or bar to the enforce ment of any of the Covenants. If SunGard must
resort to litigation to enforce any of the Covenants that has a fixed term, then
such term shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period during
which a breach of such Covenant was occurring, beginning on the date of a final
court order (without further right of appeal) holding that such a breach
occurred or, if later, the last day of the original fixed term of such Covenant.

          13.6.   Scope of Covenants. If any Covenant, or any part thereof, or
the appli cation thereof, is construed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
then the other Covenants, or the other portions of such Covenant, or the
application thereof, shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforceable
without regard thereto. If any of the Covenants is determined to be
unenforceable because of its scope, duration, geographical area or other factor,
then the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce or limit
such scope, duration, area or other factor, and such Covenant shall then be
enforceable in its reduced or limited form.

                         SECTION 14:  INDEMNIFICATION

          14.4.   Principal Selling Parties' General Indemnification. From and
after the Closing Date, the Principal Selling Parties, jointly and severally,
shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the SunGard Group, and their
respective successors and assigns, and their respective directors, officers,
employees, agents and representatives, from and against any and all actions,
suits, claims, demands, debts, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs
and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees and court
costs, arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, any of the
following:

              (a) Any misrepresentation, breach or failure of any warranty or
representation made by BancWare or the Principal Selling Parties in or pursuant
to this Agreement.

              (b) Any failure or refusal by BancWare or the Principal Selling
Parties to satisfy or perform any covenant, term or condition of this Agreement
required to be satisfied or performed by any or all of them.

              (c) The matters listed in Schedule 14.1(c).

              (d) Any Proceeding against the SunGard Group by any Person (other
than the Principal Selling Parties) arising out of or caused by, directly or
indirectly, any act or omission of BancWare, or any of its shareholders,
directors, officers, employees, agents or

                                      A-36
<PAGE>
 
representatives, occurring at any time prior to the Effective Date excluding any
Proceeding based on any action or omission to the extent that all the facts and
circumstances constituting the basis of such Proceeding have been disclosed in
BancWare's Schedules hereto (but not excluding the matters listed in Schedule
14.1(c)).

              (e) Any deficiency or adjustment for Taxes and related interest,
penalties and expenses, assessed against or imposed upon BancWare (or any of its
successors) with respect to any period ending on or before the Closing Date. The
right of the SunGard Group to indemnification under this Section 14.1.(e) shall
not be affected by the fact that the applicable tax deficiency, adjustment,
interest or penalties may be assessed against SunGard as a result of the fact
that, after the Closing Date, BancWare shall be included in the consolidated
federal income tax returns filed by SunGard.

              (f) Any Proceeding against the SunGard Group by any Person
claiming that the amount of Merger Consideration issued to such Person was not
correctly calculated.

          14.2.   Indemnification Procedures. With respect to each event,
occurrence or matter (an "Indemnification Matter") as to which any member of the
SunGard Group or any of the Principal Selling Parties (in either case, referred
to collectively as the "Indemnitee") is entitled to indemnification from any of
the Principal Selling Parties or SunGard, as the case may be (in either case,
referred to collectively as the "Indemnitor"), under Section 5.3, Section 5.4,
Section 141 or Section 14.7, as the case may be:

              (a) Within ten (10) days after the Indemnitee receives written
documents underlying the Indemnification Matter or, if the Indemnification
Matter does not involve a third party action, suit, claim or demand, promptly
after the Indemnitee first has actual knowledge of the Indemnification Matter,
the Indemnitee shall give notice to the Indemnitor of the nature of the
Indemnification Matter and the amount demanded or claimed in connection
therewith ("Indemnification Notice"), together with copies of any such written
documents.

              (b) If a third party action, suit, claim or demand is involved,
then, upon receipt of the Indemnification Notice, the Indemnitee shall, at its
expense and through counsel of its choice, promptly assume and have sole control
over the litigation, defense or settlement (the "Defense") of the
Indemnification Matter, except that (i) SunGard shall assume and continue the
defense of any Indemnification Matter under Section 14.7), (ii) the Indemnitor
may, at its option and expense and through counsel of its choice, participate in
(but not control) the Defense; (iii) neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnitee

other's prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably delayed or
withheld); and (iv) except for Indemnification Matters under Section 14.7, the
Indemnitor shall reimburse the Indemnitee's fees, costs and expenses incurred in
the Defense in the event that a final judgment or order (without further right
of appeal) in favor of the third party is entered or a settlement is agreed upon
by the Indemnitor, Indemnitee and the third party. The Indemnitee shall
prosecute the Defense in good faith. In any event, the Indemnitor and the
Indemnitee shall fully cooperate with each other in connection with the Defense,
including without limitation by furnishing all available documentary or other
evidence as is reasonably requested by the other.

                                      A-37
<PAGE>
 
              (b) All amounts owed by the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee (if any)
shall be paid in full within three business days after a final judgment or order
(without further right of appeal) determining the amount owed is rendered, or
after a final settlement or agreement as to the amount owed is executed.

Indemnitor under this Section 14 exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars

$100,000 and all future amounts payable by the Indemnitor under this Section 14.

              (b) The total liability of any Principal Selling Party under this

on the Closing Date.

              (c) Time Periods.

                  (i)  With respect to Indemnification Matters expected to be
encountered in the routine audit process of a wholly-owned subsidiary of

Indemnification Notice to the Indemnitor in accordance with Section 14.2.(a) by
the conclusion of SunGard's audit for the year ended December 31, 1997.

                  (ii) With respect to all other Indemnification Matters, except

provided in the other clauses of this Section 14.4); or (v) the matters listed
in Schedule 14.1(c) (except that the limitation of Section 14.3(a) shall

                                      A-38
<PAGE>
 
apply to those matters so indicated on Schedule 14.1(c)). The limitations of

intentional misrepresentation, fraud or criminal matters or who had knowledge of
such intentional misrepresentation, fraud or criminal matters (which knowledge
shall include knowledge of the intentionally misrepresentative, fraudulent or
criminal nature of such matter) as of the date of this Agreement or as of the
Closing Date.

          14.5.   Recovery. The SunGard Group shall be entitled to recover from
any or all of the Principal Selling Parties and/or the other Shareholders, any
applicable amounts for indemnification payments hereunder as follows:

              (a) With respect to any claim, SunGard shall be paid from Escrow
Fund (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) to the extent available and sufficient

Exchange on the Closing Date and such distribution shall be made proportionately
from each account held in escrow.

              (b) With respect to any claim, if the Escrow Fund is not available

indemnification under this Section 14 constitutes the Indemnitee's sole remedy
for monetary damages arising out of the subject matter of this Agreement,
whether brought in contract, tort or otherwise (but excluding actions in equity
or for injunctive relief). The foregoing shall not be construed as a waiver of
or limitation upon any rights or remedies of the Indemnitee: (i) in the event of
fraud, intentional misrepresentation or criminal matters or (ii) of any other
rights or remedies other than with respect to monetary damages.

authorized by their respective boards of directors.

              (b) By written notice from SunGard to BancWare, or from BancWare

default, and such party is not willing to waive the satisfaction of such
condition.

              (c) By written notice from SunGard to BancWare, or from BancWare
to SunGard, if the Closing does not occur on or before November 21, 1997 for any
reason other than a breach of this Agreement by the party giving such notice.

              (b) In order to induce SunGard to enter into this Agreement and
the Plan, BancWare shall make the following payments to SunGard (and the
Principal Selling Parties hereby guarantee such payments) if the Merger is not
consummated due to the failure of the condition set forth in Section 9.5 to be
satisfied, provided that the failure of BancWare Shareholders to approve the

amount received by SunGard pursuant to the preceding clause (i). The cash
payment shall be payable upon consummation of the transaction constituting the
Later Sale (whether or not such consummation shall have occurred within one year
from the date hereof). A "Later Sale" shall have occurred if (x) a Person other

shares of capital stock of BancWare or assets of BancWare having a market value
equal to Fifty Percent (50%) or more of the aggregate market value of all of the
assets of BancWare or (y) BancWare merges or consolidates, or commits to merge

authorized by their respective boards of directors.
    
         (b)   By written notice from SunGard to BancWare, or from BancWare to
SunGard, if it becomes certain (for all practical purposes) that any of the
conditions to the closing obligations of the party giving such notice cannot be
satisfied on or before December 19, 1997, for a reason other than such party's
default, and such party is not willing to waive the satisfaction of such
condition.

         (c)    By written notice from SunGard to BancWare, or from BancWare to
SunGard, if the Closing does not occur on or before December 19, 1997 for any
reason other than a breach of this Agreement by the party giving such notice."

result of  the following formula with the result rounded off to nine decimal
places (such result is hereinafter referred to as the "Class B Common Stock
Merger Exchange Ratio"):

180,000 -  [[P x $1.125] +[A x $0.125]     x              1
           ---------------------------         --------------------------------
          Market Value of SunGard Stock        Number of Fully Diluted Common 
                                               Shares


     As used in this Plan:

    (a) The "Market Value of SunGard Stock" shall equal the last reported sale
price of one share of SunGard Stock as reported on The New York Stock Exchange

Reorganization Agreement).

    (b) The "Number of Fully Diluted Common Shares" shall equal the sum of (i)
the  number of shares of BancWare Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
issued and outstanding on the Effective Date and (ii) that number of additional
shares of BancWare Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock that would  be
issued and outstanding on the 

                                      B-3
<PAGE>
 
Effective Date assuming the exercise or conversion of all options, warrants or
rights (whether exercisable or convertible then or in the future) to purchase or
acquire BancWare Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock which options,
warrants or rights are outstanding on the Effective Date, excluding, however,
(I) any shares of Class A Common Stock which are issuable upon the conversion of
shares of Preferred Stock which have not been converted as of the Effective Date
and (II) any shares of BancWare Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock
that are held by BancWare (as treasury shares).

    (c) "P" shall equal the sum of (i) the number of shares of BancWare
Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on the Effective Date and (ii) that
number of additional shares of BancWare Preferred Stock that would  be issued
and outstanding on the Effective Date assuming the exercise or conversion of all
options, warrants or rights (whether exercisable or convertible then or in the
future) to purchase or acquire BancWare Preferred Stock which options, warrants
or rights are outstanding on the Effective Date, excluding, however, any shares
of BancWare Preferred Stock that are held by BancWare (as treasury shares).

    (d) "A" shall equal the sum of (i) the number of shares of BancWare Class  A
Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Effective Date and (ii) that number
of additional shares of BancWare Class A Common Stock that would  be issued and
outstanding on the Effective Date assuming the exercise or conversion of all

future) to purchase or acquire BancWare Class A Common Stock which options,
warrants or rights are outstanding on the Effective Date, excluding, however,

conversion of shares of Preferred Stock which have not been converted as of the
Effective Date and (II) any shares of BancWare Class A Common Stock that are
held by BancWare (as treasury shares).

     9.   Possible Adjustment due to Recapitalization.  If, between the date of
the this Plan and the Effective Date, there is a change in the number of issued
and outstanding shares of SunGard Stock as a result of a stock split, reverse
stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, exchange of shares or similar
recapitalization, then the Merger Exchange Ratio, the Market Value of SunGard
Stock, the number "180,000" and any other applicable numerical values set forth
in Section 8 (which shall not include any dollar amounts set forth in Section 8)
shall be appropriately adjusted.  The Merger Exchange Ratio and such other
amounts shall not be adjusted as a result of any other changes in the number of
issued and outstanding shares of SunGard Stock, including without limitation,
changes resulting from acquisitions or offerings or changes resulting from
exercises of stock options, purchases or awards of stock, or similar
transactions under SunGard's stock option, purchase and award plans.

     10.  No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of SunGard Stock shall be
issued as a result of the Merger.  In lieu of the issuance of fractional shares,
the number of shares of SunGard Stock to be issued to each shareholder of
BancWare in accordance with this Plan shall be rounded off to the nearest whole
number of shares of SunGard Stock.

     11.  Stock Options.  BancWare's 1988 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1988
ISO Plan") and all options to acquire shares of BancWare  Stock granted pursuant
to the 1988 ISO Plan and those options granted to Messrs. Rizzo and Rees to
acquire shares of BancWare  Stock which were not granted pursuant to the 1988
ISO Plan that are issued and outstanding  

                                      B-4
<PAGE>
 
immediately before the Effective Date (collectively, the "Options"), shall be
assumed by SunGard on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect, as an
option plan of SunGard and as options issued by SunGard, respectively, in
accordance with the terms and conditions by which they are governed immediately
before the Effective Date, subject to the adjustments set forth in the next
sentence. On the Effective Date, each Option shall, by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be automatically adjusted
to provide that (a) the number and type of shares issuable upon exercise of such
Option shall be that number of shares of SunGard Stock (rounded off to the
nearest whole number of shares) equal to the number of shares of BancWare Stock
issuable upon exercise of such Option immediately before the Effective Date,
multiplied by the Class B Common Stock Merger Exchange Ratio, and (b) the
exercise price per share of SunGard Stock under such Option shall be that amount
(rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price per share of
BancWare Stock under such Option immediately before the Effective Date, divided
by the Class B Common Stock Merger Exchange Ratio.

     12.  BancWare Stock held by BancWare.  On the Effective Date, any shares of
BancWare Stock that are held by BancWare (as treasury shares) immediately before
the Effective Date shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the
part of the holder thereof, be automatically canceled.

     13.  Exchange Procedures.  SunGard shall designate its transfer agent to
act as the "Exchange Agent" under this Plan.  As soon as is practicable after
the Effective Date, SunGard or the Exchange Agent shall mail, to each record
holder of an outstanding certificate that immediately before the Effective Date
represented shares of BancWare Stock, instructions for use in effecting the
surrender of such certificate to the Exchange Agent together with a letter of
transmittal.  Upon the surrender of such certificate to the Exchange Agent in
accordance with such instructions and proper completion of the letter of
transmittal, the Exchange Agent shall exchange such certificate for (a) a new
certificate representing 90% of such number of shares of SunGard Stock into
which the shares of BancWare Stock represented by such certificate have been
converted in accordance with this Plan ("Closing Stock"), which shall be
promptly delivered to the holder thereof (or in accordance with instructions
provided by the holder thereof), and (b) a new certificate for the balance of
such number of shares of SunGard Stock into which the shares of BancWare Stock
represented by such certificate have been converted in accordance with this Plan
("Escrow Stock"), which shall be held in escrow and distributed in accordance
with the terms of the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Appendix 2 ("Escrow
Agreement").  If applicable, such certificates shall be accompanied by any
distributions due with respect to shares of SunGard Stock that were paid to
SunGard's stockholders of record as of a date between the Effective Date and the
date of distribution of either the certificate representing the Closing Stock or
the certificate representing the Escrow Stock.  Until surrendered in accordance
with the foregoing, each outstanding certificate that immediately before the
Effective Date represented shares of BancWare Stock shall be deemed to evidence
ownership of the number of shares of SunGard Stock into which the shares of
BancWare Stock represented by such certificate have been converted in accordance
with this Plan, subject to the escrow requirement described above; provided,
however, that any such certificate that is not properly submitted for exchange
to SunGard or the Exchange Agent within two years after the Effective Date shall
no longer evidence ownership of shares of Closing Stock and all rights of the
holder of such certificate, as a stockholder of SunGard with respect to the
shares previously evidenced by such certificate, shall cease.

     14.  Dissenter's Rights. Shareholders of BancWare shall be entitled to
exercise the rights of dissenting shareholders with respect to the Merger and
this Plan, as provided in the Corporation Laws. SunGard shall be responsible for
paying all cash amounts due to dissenting shareholders of BancWare.

     15.  Effective Date.  As used in this Plan, the "Effective Date" shall mean
the date upon which this Plan and properly completed and executed Articles of
Merger and Certificate of Merger for the Merger have been duly filed with the
proper officials of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Delaware,
respectively.

     16.  Entire Understanding.  This Plan, together with the Reorganization
Agreement (and the Exhibits and Schedules thereto), states the entire
understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior oral and written communications and agreements, and all
contemporaneous oral communications and agreements, with respect to the subject
matter hereof.  No amendment or modification of this Plan, and no waiver of any
provision of this Plan, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the
party against whom enforcement is sought.  BancWare may agree to any amendment
or supplement to this Plan, or a waiver of any provision of this Plan, either
before or after the approval of BancWare's shareholders is obtained (as
contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement) and without seeking further
shareholder approval, so long as such amendment, supplement or waiver does not
result in a decrease in the Merger Exchange Ratio or have a material adverse
effect on BancWare's shareholders.  The obligations of the parties under this
Plan shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Reorganization
Agreement.  If the Reorganization Agreement is terminated in accordance with its
terms, then this Plan shall simultaneously terminate, and the Merger shall be
abandoned without further action by the parties hereto.

     17.  Parties in Interest.  This Plan shall bind, benefit and be enforceable
by and against the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
No party hereto shall in any manner assign any of its rights or obligations
under this Plan without the express prior written consent of the other parties.
Nothing in this Plan or the Reorganization Agreement is intended to confer, or
shall be deemed to confer, any rights or remedies upon any persons other than
the parties hereto and their respective stockholders and directors.

     18.  Severability.  If any provision of this Plan is construed to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions hereof shall
not be affected thereby and shall be enforceable without regard thereto.

     19.  Counterparts.  This Plan may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original
hereof, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Plan to produce or
account for more than one counterpart hereof.

     20.  Section Headings.  Section and subsection headings in this Plan are
for convenience of reference only, do not constitute a part of this Plan, and
shall not affect its interpretation.

DATE:                  , 1997

                                   BACKGROUND

     A.   BancWare, SunGard, Newco and Popp, Mandalinci and Drane (the
"Principal Selling Parties") are parties to an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization dated September 22,  1997 (the "Reorganization Agreement"), and
BancWare, SunGard and Newco are parties to a related Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated the same date (the "Plan of Merger") providing for the merger of
Newco with and into BancWare (the "Merger") with, subject to the rights of
dissenting shareholders, the conversion of each outstanding share of BancWare
Stock (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement) into immediately deliverable
shares of SunGard Stock (as 

                                      C-1
<PAGE>
 
defined in the Plan of Merger) and the right to receive additional shares of
SunGard Stock held by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement.  SunGard will
deliver to the Escrow Agent such number of shares of SunGard Stock ("Escrowed
Stock") as is equal to ten percent (10%) of the total SunGard Stock issued as
the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement).

     B.   BancWare and SunGard have delivered to the Escrow Agent a list of the
names and addresses of BancWare's shareholders (hereinafter, "Shareholders")
showing as to each the number of shares of SunGard Stock (including fractional
shares) to be deposited in respect of the shares of BancWare Stock owned by such
Shareholder.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.   Shareholders General Indemnification.  From and after the Closing Date
(as defined in the Reorganization Agreement), each of the Shareholders, jointly
and severally, joins in and agrees to be bound by the obligations of the
Principal Selling Parties to indemnify and hold harmless, and hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless, the members of the SunGard Group (as defined in the
Reorganization Agreement) , and their respective successors and assigns, and
their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives,
from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, debts,
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including without
limitation reasonable attorney's fees and court costs, arising out of or caused
by, directly or indirectly, any of the matters set forth in Section 5.3 or
Section 14.1 of the Reorganization Agreement, subject to the terms, conditions
and limitations set forth in Section 14 of the Reorganization Agreement;
provided, however, that the liability of any Shareholder hereunder (other than a
Principal Selling Party) shall be limited to their shares of Escrowed Stock held
hereunder.   Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to modify, limit or
affect the Obligations (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement) of any
Principal Selling Party under the Reorganization Agreement.

     2.   Shareholder Accounts.   The Escrow Agent shall maintain records and an
account for each Shareholder showing the number of shares deposited hereunder in
respect of the shares of BancWare Stock owned by each such Shareholder.  As soon
as practicable after the Effective Date (as defined in the Plan of Merger), the
Escrow Agent shall mail to each Shareholder a statement showing the number of
shares of Escrowed Stock held by the Escrow Agent for such Shareholder.
Subsequent statements shall be distributed following any distributions pursuant
to Section 3.b hereof.

     3.   Distribution of Escrowed Stock.  The Escrow Agent shall distribute the
Escrowed Stock as follows:

          a.   In accordance with the mutual written direction of SunGard and
the Representative (as defined in Section 16) .

          b.   When payment of any claim for indemnification becomes due under
Section 14.2(c) of the Reorganization Agreement, SunGard shall forward to the
Escrow Agent a notice ("Payment Notice") setting forth the amount to which
SunGard is entitled ("Claim Amount") and provide evidence to the Escrow Agent
that the Payment Notice was sent to the 

                                      C-2
<PAGE>
 
Representative. The Claim Amount shall be applied against all Shareholders'
accounts maintained by the Escrow Agent on a pro rata basis based upon the
amounts of Escrowed Stock initially deposited therein. The Escrow Agent within
15 business days thereafter shall deliver to SunGard certificates representing
such number of shares of SunGard Stock, rounded downward to the nearest whole
share, valued at the Valuation Price (as defined below), equal to the amount
specified in the Payment Notice allocated by the Escrow Agent to accounts
containing Escrowed Stock. In the event that the value of the Escrowed Stock in
an account is insufficient to pay the allocable portion of the Claim Amount, the
Escrow Agent shall not be entitled to make up any deficiency from any other
account.

          c.   On ___________________, 1998 (the "Termination Date"), which date
is the first anniversary of the Effective Date (as defined in the Reorganization
Agreement) of the Merger, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to the Shareholders
the remaining shares of Escrowed Stock held hereunder (less a number of shares
equal to the aggregate of the fractional share interests to which SunGard is
entitled by reason of the deposit by SunGard of an excess fractional share
hereunder or by reason of distribution to SunGard of less than the Claim Amount
specified in a Payment Notice, which shall be distributed to SunGard) less the
shares having a total value, based upon the Valuation Price, equal to the
aggregate amount set forth in any then outstanding claim notices ("Pending Claim
Amount") delivered under Section 14 of the Reorganization Agreement ("Claim
Notices"). For this purpose the amount set forth in any outstanding Claim
Notices shall be allocated among accounts in the same manner as set forth in
Section 3.b hereof.

          d.   After the Termination Date, upon resolution of any remaining
outstanding Claim Notices in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section
3.b with respect to Payment Notices, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to the
Shareholders the remaining shares of Escrowed Stock held hereunder (less a
number of shares equal to the aggregate of the fractional share interests to
which SunGard is entitled by reason of the deposit by SunGard of an excess
fractional share hereunder or by reason of distribution to SunGard of less than
the Claim Amount specified in a Payment Notice, which shall be distributed to
SunGard) less the shares having a total value, based upon the Valuation Price,
equal to the aggregate amount set forth in any then outstanding Claim Notices.
For this purpose the amount set forth in any outstanding Claim Notices shall be
allocated among accounts in the same manner as set forth in Section 3.b hereof.

          e.   SunGard shall forward to the Escrow Agent a notice ("Dissenters
Notice") setting forth the names of those BancWare Shareholders, if any, who
have dissented to the Merger and provide evidence to the Escrow Agent that the
Dissenters Notice was sent to the Representative and the dissenting
Shareholders.  The Escrow Agent, within 15 business days thereafter, shall
deliver to SunGard certificates representing such number of shares of SunGard
Stock held by the Escrow Agent in accounts for such dissenting Shareholders.

          f.   No fractional shares of SunGard Stock shall be distributed by the
Escrow Agent.  In lieu of the distribution of fractional shares, the number of
shares of SunGard Stock to be distributed to each Shareholder in accordance with
this Agreement shall be rounded off to the nearest whole number of shares of
SunGard Stock.

                                      C-3
<PAGE>
 
          g. In the event that any holder of certificates formerly representing
shares of BancWare Stock has not surrendered them for exchange by the
Termination Date or the date of any subsequent distribution, Escrowed Stock held
by the Escrow Agent for such holder shall be held or disposed of in accordance
with Section 13 of the Plan of Merger.


     4.   Voting of Escrowed Shares.  Shareholders shall have the right to vote
their respective shares of Escrowed Stock held by the Escrow Agent.

     5.   Valuation of Escrowed Stock.  Except as otherwise expressly provided
for, the value of each share of the Escrowed Stock for purposes of this
Agreement shall be the last reported sale price of one share of SunGard Stock as
reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date (the "Valuation
Price").

     6.   Exchange of Collateral.  A Shareholder may, at its or his option,
deposit with the Escrow Agent an equivalent value, based upon the Valuation
Price, of cash ("Escrowed Cash") in exchange for all of the Escrowed Stock in
such Shareholder's account.  In any such case, references to the Escrowed Stock
and distributions thereof shall be deemed to refer instead to the Escrowed Cash
and distributions thereof.

     7.   Resignation and Removal of Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Agent may resign
at any time or be removed by the mutual consent of SunGard and the
Representative upon notice given at least 30 days prior to the effective date of
such resignation or removal; provided, however, that no resignation or removal
of the Escrow Agent and no appointment of a successor Escrow Agent shall be
effective until the acceptance of appointment by a successor Escrow Agent in the
manner herein provided.  In the event of the resignation or removal of the
Escrow Agent, and the failure of SunGard and the Representative to agree upon a
successor Escrow Agent within 30 days after the receipt of notice of such
resignation or removal, SunGard shall have the right to appoint a successor
Escrow Agent which shall be a commercial bank or trust company having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000.  Any successor Escrow Agent,
whether appointed by the mutual agreement of SunGard and the Representative or
otherwise, shall execute and deliver to the predecessor Escrow Agent an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon such successor Escrow Agent
shall, without further act, become vested with all the estates, properties,
rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Escrow Agent as if originally named
herein.

     8.   Liability of Escrow Agent; Expenses.  The Escrow Agent shall have no
liability or obligation hereunder except for its willful misconduct or gross
negligence.  The Escrow Agent may rely upon any instrument, not only as to its
due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy
of any information contained therein, which the Escrow Agent shall in good faith
believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by the person or parties
purporting to sign the same and to conform to the provisions of this Agreement.
The Escrow Agent may consult legal counsel selected by it in the event of any
dispute or question of the construction of any of the provisions hereof or of
the Reorganization Agreement or of its duties hereunder, and shall incur no
liability and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the opinion
or instruction of such counsel.  The fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent
charged and incurred in performing its obligations hereunder shall be borne by
SunGard.  Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services as
stated in the fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A, which such compensation

                                      C-4
<PAGE>
 
shall be paid by SunGard. The fee agreed upon for the services rendered
hereunder is intended as full compensation for Escrow Agent's services as
contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that the
conditions for the disbursement of funds under this Agreement are not fulfilled,
or Escrow Agent renders any material service not contemplated in this Agreement,
or there is any assignment of interest in the subject matter of this Agreement,
or any material modification hereof, or if any material controversy arises
hereunder, or Escrow Agent is made a party to any litigation pertaining to this
Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, then Escrow Agent shall be reasonably
compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, occasioned by any delay,
controversy, litigation or event, and the same shall be recoverable from
SunGard.

     9.   Indemnification of Escrow Agent.  BancWare, SunGard and the
Shareholders jointly and severally hereby indemnify and hold harmless Escrow
Agent from and against, any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense,
including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees, which Escrow Agent may
suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding brought against
Escrow Agent arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or any
transaction to which this Agreement relates unless such action, claim or
proceeding is the result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Escrow
Agent; provided, however, that the liability of any Shareholder (other than a
Principal Selling Party) under this Section 9 who is not a party to such action,
suit or proceeding shall be limited to their shares of Escrowed Stock held
hereunder.

     10.  Notices.  All notices, consents, waivers or other communications which
are required or permitted hereunder shall be sufficient if given in writing and
delivered personally or by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, as follows (or to such other addressee or address as
shall be set forth in a notice given in the same manner):

     If to BancWare, SunGard or the Principal Selling Parties, as set forth in
Section 15.4 of the Reorganization Agreement.

     If to any Shareholder (other than the Principal Selling Parties), to the

          with a copy to SunGard.

under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania except that the fiduciary
duties and responsibilities of the Escrow Agent shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Minnesota.

<PAGE>
 
     12.  Assignment; Binding Effect.  The rights of the Shareholders hereunder
are personal and may not be assigned or otherwise transferred except by
operation of law.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

     13.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which will be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument.

     14.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding
of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and cannot be
changed, modified or terminated except by written amendment executed by the
parties hereto.

     15.  Severability.    If any provision of this Agreement is construed to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions hereof shall
not be affected thereby and shall be enforceable without regard thereto.  Each
Shareholder agrees that the failure of any other Shareholder to execute and
deliver this Agreement shall not affect in any way the validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or the rights of SunGard or BancWare under this
Agreement, the Plan of Merger or the Reorganization Agreement.

     16.  Right of Representative to Act for Shareholders.  Each of the
Shareholders expressly grants to the Principal Selling Party designated pursuant
to this Section (the "Representative")  the full power and authority to
represent such Shareholder and to take any and all actions with respect to this
Agreement on behalf of suchShareholder including, but not limited to, (a)
administering any Indemnification Matter (as defined in the Reorganization
Agreement) on behalf of the Shareholders, agreeing to the settlement of any
Indemnification Matter and otherwise handling and negotiating Indemnification
Matters; (b) agreeing on behalf of the Shareholders; and (c) agreeing to any
waiver, consent or amendment under or to this Agreement, provided that no such
waiver, consent or amendment shall affect the method of allocation of payments
from the Escrowed Stock as set forth in Section 3.b hereof with respect to any
Shareholder who does not expressly consent thereto.   Each of the Shareholders
acknowledges that this Section16 is intended to have the broadest possible scope
for the purpose of promoting the efficient negotiation and handling of all
matters which arise under or in connection with this Agreement.  The
Representative shall be William E. Popp, provided, however, that upon written
notice to SunGard and the other Principal Selling Parties, Douglas Drane may
designate himself as the Representative; provided, further, however, that any
such notice from Douglas Drane shall not affect any actions taken by William E.
Popp as Representative prior to the receipt of such notice  by SunGard and the
other Principal Selling Parties.

     17.  Limitation of Liability and Release.    Absent fraud or breach of
fiduciary duty, none of BancWare, the Representative or any Principal Selling
Party shall incur any liability to any Shareholder as a result of any action
taken, or omitted to be taken, in connection with the Reorganization Agreement,
the Plan of Merger and/or the transactions contemplated thereby, including
without limitation the making of any incorrect representation or warranty under
the Reorganization Agreement, and, absent fraud or breach of fiduciary duty,
each Shareholder hereby releases BancWare and each Principal Selling Party from
any and all such liability; 

                                      C-6
<PAGE>
 
provided, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to any liability of
any Principal Selling Party to any other Principal Selling Party.

                                   APPENDIX D

       MASSACHUSETTS STATUTE CONCERNING RIGHTS OF DISSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
            (FROM CHAPTER 156B OF THE GENERAL LAWS OF MASSACHUSETTS)

     (S)85.  PAYMENT FOR STOCK OF DISSENTING STOCKHOLDER.

     A stockholder in any corporation organized under the laws of Massachusetts
which shall have duly voted to consolidate or merge with another corporation or
corporations under the provisions of sections seventy-eight or seventy-nine who
objects to such consolidation or merger may demand payment for his stock from
the resulting or surviving corporation and an appraisal in accordance with the
provisions of sections eighty-six to ninety-eight, inclusive, and such
stockholder and the resulting or surviving corporation shall have the rights and
duties and follow the procedure set forth in those sections.  This section shall
not apply to the holders of any shares of stock of a constituent corporation
surviving a merger if, as permitted by subsection (c) of section seventy-eight,
the merger did not require for its approval a vote of the stockholders of the
surviving corporation.

     (S)86.  RIGHT OF APPRAISAL

     If a corporation proposes to take a corporate action as to which any
section of this chapter provides that a stockholder who objects to such action
shall have the right to demand payment for his shares and an appraisal thereof,
sections eighty-seven to ninety-eight, inclusive, shall apply except as
otherwise specifically provided in any section of this chapter.  Except as
provided in sections eighty-two and eighty-three, no stockholder shall have such
right unless (1) he files with the corporation before the taking of the vote of
the shareholders on such corporation action, written objection to the proposed
action stating that he intends to demand payment for his shares if the action is
taken and (2) his shares are not voted in favor of the proposed action.

     (S)87.  NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS MEETING TO CONTAIN
             STATEMENT AS TO APPRAISAL RIGHTS

     The notice of the meeting of stockholders at which the approval of such
proposed action is to be considered shall contain a statement of the rights of
objecting stockholders.  The giving of such notice shall not be deemed to create
any rights in any stockholder receiving the same to demand payment for his
stock, and the directors may authorize the inclusion in any such notice of a
statement of opinion by the management as to the existence or non-existence of
the right of the stockholders to demand payment for their stock on account of
the proposed corporate action.  The notice may be in such form as the directors
or officers calling the meeting deem advisable, but the following form of notice
shall be sufficient to comply with this section:

               "If the action proposed is approved by the stockholders at the
               meeting and effected by the corporation, any stockholder (1) who
         

                                      D-1
<PAGE>
 
               files with the corporation before the taking of the vote on the
               approval of such action, written objection to the proposed action
               stating that he intends to demand payment for his shares if the
               action is taken and (2) whose shares are not voted in favor of
               such action has or may have the right to demand in writing from
               the corporation (or, in the case of a consolidation or merger,
               the name of the resulting or surviving corporation shall be
               inserted), within twenty days after the date of mailing to him of
               notice in writing that the corporate action has become effective,
               payment for his shares and an appraisal of the value thereof.
               Such corporation and any such stockholder shall in such cases
               have the rights and duties and shall follow the procedure set
               forth in sections 88 to 98, inclusive, of chapter 156B of the
               General Laws of Massachusetts."

     (S)88.    NOTICE TO OBJECTING STOCKHOLDER THAT CORPORATE
               ACTION HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE

     The corporation taking such action, or in the case of a merger or
consolidation the surviving or resulting corporation shall, within ten days
after the date on which such corporate action became effective, notify each
stockholder who filed written objection meeting the requirements of section
eighty-six and whose shares were not voted in favor of the approval of such
action, that the action approved at the meeting of the corporation of which he
is a stockholder has become effective.  The giving of such notice shall not be
deemed to create any rights in any stockholder receiving the same to demand
payment for his stock.  The notice shall be sent by registered or certified
mail, addressed to the stockholder at his last known address as it appears in
the records of the corporation.

     (S)89.    DEMAND FOR PAYMENT BY OBJECTING STOCKHOLDER

     If within twenty days after the date of mailing of a notice under
subsection (e) of section eighty-two, subsection (f) of section eighty-three, or
section eighty-eight any stockholder to whom the corporation was required to
give such notice shall demand in writing from the corporation taking such
action, or in the case of a consolidation or merger from the resulting or
surviving corporation, payment for his stock, the corporation upon which such
demand is made shall pay to him the fair value of his stock within thirty days
after the expiration of the period during which such demand may be made.

     (S)90.    DETERMINATION OF VALUE OF STOCK BY SUPERIOR COURT

     If during the period of thirty days provided for in section eighty-nine the
corporation upon which such demand is made and any such objecting stockholder
fail to agree as to the value of such stock, such corporation or any such
stockholder may within four months after the expiration of such thirty-day
period demand a determination of the value of the stock of all such objecting
stockholders by a bill in equity field in the superior court in the county where
the corporation in which such objecting stockholder held stock had or has its
principal office

                                      D-2
<PAGE>
 
in the commonwealth.

     (S)91.  BILL IN EQUITY TO DETERMINE VALUE OF STOCK OF OBJECTING
             STOCKHOLDERS ON FAILURE TO AGREE ON VALUE THEREOF ETC; PARTIES TO
             BILL ETC; SERVICE OF BILL ON CORPORATION; NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDER
             PARTIES ETC.

     If the bill is filed by the corporation, it shall name as parties
respondent all stockholders who have demanded payment for this shares and with
whom the corporation has not reached agreement as to the value thereof.  If the
bill is filed by a stockholder, he shall bring the bill in his own behalf and in
behalf of all other stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and
with whom the corporation has not reached agreement as to the value thereof, and
service of the bill shall be made upon the corporation by subpoena with a copy
of the bill annexed.  The corporation shall file with its answer a duly verified
list of all such other stockholders, and such stockholders shall thereupon be
deemed to have been added as parties to the bill.  The corporation shall give
notice in such form and returnable on such date as the court shall order to each
stockholder party to the bill by registered or certified mail, addressed to the
last known address of such stockholder as shown in the records of the
corporation, and the court may order such additional notice by publication or
otherwise as it deems advisable.  Each stockholder who makes demand as provided
in section eighty-nine shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of
this section relating to notice, and the giving of notice by the corporation to
any such stockholder in compliance with the order of the court shall be a
sufficient service of process on him.  Failure to give notice to any stockholder
making demand shall not invalidate the proceedings as to other stockholders to
whom notice was properly given, and the court may at any time before the entry
of a final decree make supplementary orders of notice.

     (S)92.    BILL IN EQUITY TO DETERMINE VALUE OF STOCK OF OBJECTING
               STOCKHOLDERS ON FAILURE TO AGREE ON VALUE THEREOF, ETC; ENTRY OF
               DECREE DETERMINING VALUE OF STOCK; DATE ON WHICH VALUE IS TO BE
               DETERMINED.

     After hearing the court shall enter a decree determining the fair value of
the stock of those stockholders who have become entitled to the valuation of and
payment for their shares; and shall order the corporation to make payment of
such value, together with interest, if any, as hereinafter provided, to the
stockholders entitled thereto upon the transfer by them to the corporation of
the certificates representing such stock if certificates or if uncertificated,
upon receipt of an instruction transferring such stock to the corporation.  For
this purpose, the value of the shares shall be determined as of the day
preceeding the date of the vote approving the proposed corporate action and
shall be exclusive of any element of value arising from the expectation or
accomplishment of the proposed corporate action.

     (S)93.    BILL IN EQUITY TO DETERMINE VALUE OF STOCK OF OBJECTING
               STOCKHOLDERS ON FAILURE TO AGREE ON VALUE THEREOF, ETC.; COURT
               MAY REFER BILL, ETC., TO SPECIAL MASTER TO HEAR PARTIES, ETC.

     The court in its discretion may refer the bill or any question arising
thereunder to a special master to hear the parties, make findings and report the
same to the court, all in accordance with the usual practice in suits in equity
in the superior court.

     (S)94.    BILL IN EQUITY TO DETERMINE VALUE OF STOCK OF OBJECTING
               STOCKHOLDERS ON FAILURE TO AGREE ON VALUE THEREOF, ETC.;
               STOCKHOLDER PARTIES MAY BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THEIR STOCK
               CERTIFICATES FOR NOTATION THEREON OF PENDENCY OF BILL, ETC.

     On motion the court may order stockholder parties to the bill to submit
their certificates of stock to the corporation for notation thereon of the
pendency of the bill, and may order, the corporation to note such pendency in
its records with respect to any uncertificated shares held by such stockholder
parties, and may on motion dismiss the bill as to any stockholder who fails to
comply with such order.

     (S)95.    BILL IN EQUITY TO DETERMINE VALUE OF STOCK OF OBJECTING
               STOCKHOLDERS ON FAILURE TO AGREE ON VALUE THEREOF, ETC.; TAXATION
               OF COSTS, ETC.; INTEREST ON AWARD, ETC.

     The costs of the bill, including the reasonable compensation and expenses
of any master appointed by the court, but exclusive of fees of counsel or of
experts, retained by any party, shall be determined by the court and taxed upon
the parties to the bill, or any of them, in such manner as appears to be
equitable, except that all costs of giving notice to stockholders, as provided
in this chapter shall be paid by the corporation.  Interest shall be paid upon
any award from the date of the vote approving the proposed corporate action, and
the court may on application of any interested party determine the amount of
interest to be paid in the case of any stockholder.

     (S)96.    STOCKHOLDER DEMANDING PAYMENT FOR STOCK NOT ENTITLED TO NOTICE OF
               STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS OR TO VOTE STOCK OR TO RECEIVE DIVIDENDS,
               ETC.; EXCEPTIONS  .

     Any stockholder who has demanded payment for his stock as provided in this
chapter shall not thereafter be entitled to notice of any meeting of
stockholders or to vote such stock for any purpose and shall not be entitled to
the payment of dividends or other distribution on the stock (except dividends or
other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior
to the date of the vote approving the proposed corporate action) unless:

     (1) A bill shall not be filed within the time provided in section ninety;
     (2) A bill, if filed, shall be dismissed as to such stockholder; or
     (3) Such stockholder shall with the written approval of the corporation, or
         in the case of a consolidation or merger, the resulting or surviving
         corporation, deliver 
     

                                      D-4
<PAGE>
 
     to it a written withdrawal of his objections to and an acceptance of such
     corporate action.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (1) to (3), inclusive, said
stockholder shall have only the rights of a stockholder who did not so demand
payment for his stock as provided in this chapter.

     (S)97.    CERTAIN SHARES PAID FOR BY CORPORATION TO HAVE STATUS OF TREASURY
               STOCK, ETC.

     The shares of the corporation paid for by the coproration pursuant to the
provisions of this chapter shall have the status of treasury stock or in the
case of a consolidation or merger the shares or the securities of the resulting
or surviving corporation into which the shares of such objecting stockholder
would have been converted had he not objected to such consolidation or merger
shall have the status of treasury stock or securities.

     (S)98.    ENFORCEMENT BY STOCKHOLDER OF RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAYMENT FOR HIS
               SHARES TO BE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY; EXCEPTION.

     The enforcement by a stockholder of his right to receive payment for his
shares in the manner provided in this chapter shall be an exclusive remedy
except that this chapter shall not exclude the right of such stockholder to
bring or maintain an appropriate proceeding to obtain relief on the ground that
such corporate action will be or is illegal or fraudulent as to him.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS


ITEM 20.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         The Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in substance, that
Delaware corporations shall have the power, under specified circumstances, to
indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in connection with
actions, suits or proceedings brought against them by third parties and in
connection with actions or suits by or in the right of the corporation, by
reason of the fact that they were or are such directors, officers, employees and
agents, against expenses (including attorney's fees) and, in the case of
actions, suits or proceedings brought by third parties, against judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in any such
action, suit or proceeding.

         SunGard's Bylaws provide for indemnification to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Reference is made to the
Bylaws of SunGard filed as Exhibit 3.2 hereto.

         As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, SunGard has
adopted an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to
eliminate the personal liability of its directors to SunGard and its
stockholders, in certain circumstances, for monetary damages arising from a
breach of the director's duty of care. Additionally, SunGard has entered into
indemnification agreements (in the form approved by SunGard's stockholders at
its 1987 Annual Meeting) with each of its directors and officers. These
agreements provide indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and,
in certain respects, provide greater protection than that specifically provided
by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The agreements do not provide
indemnification for, among other things, conduct that is adjudged to be fraud,
deliberate dishonesty or willful misconduct.

         SunGard has obtained directors' and officers' liability insurance that
covers certain liabilities, including liabilities to SunGard and its
stockholders, in the amount of $20 million.

ITEM 22.  UNDERTAKINGS.

     (a)(1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (a)(2) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior
to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a
prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or
party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the
issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information
called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by
persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called
for by the other Items of the applicable form.

     (a)(3) The registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed
pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to
meet the requirements of 

                                     II-4
<PAGE>
 
section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of
securities subject to Rule 415 ((S)230.415 of this chapter), will be filed as
part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until
such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (a)(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of SunGard pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, SunGard
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by SunGard of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of SunGard in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
SunGard will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

     (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to
Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the
date of responding to the request.

     (c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the registration statement when it became effective.

                    OPINION OF BLANK ROME COMISKY & McCAULEY

                                 November 11, 1997



SunGard Data Systems Inc.
1285 Drummers Lane
Wayne, PA 19087

Gentlemen:

     We refer to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 22, 1997 (the
"Merger Agreement"), among SunGard Data Systems Inc. ("SunGard"), BWI
Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SunGard ("Newco"), BancWare,
Inc., a Massachusetts corporation ("BancWare"), and the related Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization, dated September 22, 1997 (the "Reorganization
Agreement"), among SunGard, Newco, BancWare and certain of the stockholders of
BancWare (the "Principals"), pursuant to which (a) Newco would be merged with
and into BancWare, with BancWare surviving the merger under the name "BancWare,
Inc.," and (b) BancWare stockholders (other than BancWare stockholders who
perfect dissenter's rights) would receive SunGard Common Stock pursuant to
formula conversion ratios.

     The Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Agreements" and the transactions contemplated
thereby are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Reorganization."  We
also refer to Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4  (the
"Registration Statement") being filed by SunGard with the Securities and
Exchange Commission relating to the issuance of up to 360,000 shares of common
stock, par value $.01 per share, of SunGard (the "SunGard Common Stock").  The
Proxy Statement- Prospectus (the "Proxy Statement"), which is part of the
Registration Statement, contains a section entitled "THE PROPOSED MERGER -
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" (the "Section").
 
     In rendering the opinion hereinafter expressed, we have assumed the initial
and continuing accuracy of the information, statements and representations set
forth in the Agreements and the Proxy Statement (excluding references to tax
consequences), and that the Reorganization and any related transactions will be
consummated in the manner described in such documents. We have not independently
verified such assumptions but have no reason to believe such assumptions are not
valid. In addition, in rendering such opinion we have relied 
<PAGE>
 
SunGard Data Systems Inc.
Page 2
November 11, 1997


upon the factual assumptions contained in a Certificate to be executed by
certain executive officers of SunGard and BancWare.

     In rendering the opinion hereinafter expressed, we have considered the
applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder, pertinent judicial authorities, and such
other authorities as we have deemed appropriate under the circumstances.

     Based on and subject to the foregoing and our consideration of such other
matters as we have deemed necessary or appropriate, we are of the opinion that,
while the descriptions of federal income tax consequences contained in the
Section do not purport to discuss all possible federal income tax consequences
of the Reorganization under present laws and regulations, such descriptions are,
in all material respects, fair summaries of the federal income tax consequences
of the Reorganization to the stockholders of BancWare.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we
come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Rules and Regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

                                          Very truly yours,
