5.50% Senior Notes due 2012

We are offering $1,100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 5.50% senior notes due 2012, or the “notes”.

The notes will mature on May 15, 2012. We will pay interest on the notes on each May 15 and November 15, commencing on November 15, 2007.

We may redeem the notes at any time, and from time to time, by paying to the holders thereof 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole redemption premium. If a change of control purchase event occurs, we will be required to offer to purchase all of the notes from the holders at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof.

The notes will be unsecured and will rank senior to all our existing and future subordinated debt and will rank pari passu with our existing and future unsecured senior debt. The notes will not have the benefit of all of the covenants applicable to some of our existing unsecured senior debt. The notes will be effectively subordinated to any secured debt of Xerox. The notes will be structurally subordinated to the debt and all other obligations of our subsidiaries.

Investing in the notes involves a high degree of risk. See “ Risk Factors,” beginning on page S-3 of this prospectus supplement.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

OFFERING SUMMARY

This summary may not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and those documents incorporated by reference into the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the risk factors and the financial statements and related notes, before making an investment decision. In this prospectus supplement, except as otherwise indicated herein, references to “Xerox”, “the Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our” refer to Xerox Corporation and its subsidiaries and, in the context of the notes, “Xerox”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” shall only refer to Xerox Corporation, the issuer of the notes.

Issuer

Xerox Corporation.

Notes Offered

$1,100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2012.

Maturity

May 15, 2012.

Interest Rate

The notes will bear interest from May 17, 2007 at the rate of 5.50% per annum, payable semiannually.

Interest Payment Dates

May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2007.

Ranking

The notes are unsecured and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

The notes will be effectively subordinated to all of the secured indebtedness of Xerox Corporation which, as of March 31, 2007, was approximately $9 million. The notes will be structurally subordinated to all of the secured and unsecured indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2007, our subsidiaries had approximately $5.3 billion of outstanding indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables but excluding intercompany liabilities.

Optional Redemption

We may redeem some or all of the notes offered hereby at any time at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. See “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption.”

Change of Control Repurchase Event

If we undergo a change of control and the ratings on the notes decline to non-investment grade ratings within a specified period of time after the occurrence of such change of control, we must give all holders of the notes the opportunity to sell to us their notes at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

We might not be able to pay to you the required price for notes that you present to us upon a change of control repurchase event, because:

•

we might not have enough funds at that time; or

•

the terms of our debt instruments may prevent us from paying.

Certain Covenants

The indenture governing the notes will contain covenants limiting our ability and our subsidiaries’ ability to:

•

create certain liens; and

•

consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease substantially all our assets to, another person.

S-1

These limitations will be subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. You should read “Description of the Debt Securities and Convertible Debt Securities—Provisions Applicable Only To Senior Debt Securities—Covenants” in the accompanying prospectus for a description of these covenants.

Use of Proceeds

The net proceeds of this offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, and estimated offering expenses payable by us, are expected to be approximately $1,088,393,000. We will use the net proceeds of this offering to repay our $1 billion borrowing under our Bridge Credit Agreement that was used to partially fund our May 11, 2007 acquisition of the stock of Global Imaging Systems, Inc. (“Global Imaging”), as required by the terms of the Bridge Credit Agreement. The borrowing under the Bridge Credit Agreement currently bears interest at a rate of 5.87% and matures on April 28, 2008. Any remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

Risk Factors

See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-3 of this prospectus supplement for important information regarding us and an investment in the notes.

Further Issuances

We may create and issue further notes ranking equally with the notes (other than the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further notes). Such notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the notes.

S-2

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below, the risks set forth in the accompanying prospectus and the other information set forth in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference before making an investment decision. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations. The events discussed in the risk factors below, or the risk factors in the accompanying prospectus, may occur. If they do, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In such an instance, the trading price of our securities, including the notes, could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.

Risks related to the notes

Our substantial debt could adversely affect our financial health and pose challenges for conducting our business.

We have, and after this offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom will continue to have, a substantial amount of debt and other obligations. As of March 31, 2007, on an as adjusted basis assuming the consummation of this offering and application of the net proceeds therefrom and taking into account that we borrowed $1 billion under our Bridge Credit Agreement to partially fund our acquisition of the stock of Global Imaging and that we borrowed $300 million under our 2007 Credit Facility (of which $200 million was used to repay outstanding debt of Global Imaging), we would have had $8.4 billion of debt, on a consolidated basis, of which $1.9 billion would have been secured, and $0.6 billion liability to subsidiary trust issuing preferred securities outstanding.

Our substantial debt and other obligations could have important consequences. For example, it could:

•

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic or industry conditions or downturns in our business;

•

limit our ability to obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, cost efficiency initiatives and other general corporate requirements;

•

increase our vulnerability to interest rate fluctuations because a significant portion of our debt has variable interest rates;

•

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations on our debt and other obligations thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow from operations for other purposes;

•

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

•

limit, along with financial and other restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, among other things, our ability to borrow additional funds or dispose of assets;

•

place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

•

become due and payable upon a change of control.

Despite our substantial debt, we may still be able to incur significantly more debt. As of March 31, 2007, on an adjusted basis after giving effect to this offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom and taking into account that we borrowed $1 billion under our Bridge Credit Agreement to partially fund our acquisition of the stock of Global Imaging and that we borrowed $300 million under our 2007 Credit Facility (of which $200 million was used to repay the outstanding debt of Global Imaging), we would have had approximately $1.7 billion available for additional borrowing under our 2007 Credit Facility and the covenants under our debt agreements would allow us to incur a significant amount of additional indebtedness. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the risks described above could increase.

S-3

The notes will be structurally subordinated to all liabilities of our subsidiaries.

The notes are structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of Xerox’s subsidiaries. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, before intercompany eliminations, Xerox’s subsidiaries contributed $2.1 billion to our total revenues and held $11.4 billion of our total assets. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our subsidiaries, these subsidiaries would pay the holders of their debts, preferred equity interests and their trade creditors before they would be able to distribute any of their assets to us. In addition, the 2007 Credit Facility and the indentures governing our 9³/4% Senior Notes due 2009, 7¹/8% Senior Notes due 2010, 7⁵/8% Senior Notes due 2013, 6⁷/8% Senior Notes due 2011 and 6.40% Senior Notes due 2016 (collectively, the “Existing Senior Notes”) contain contingent future guarantee provisions whereby certain of our subsidiaries may become guarantors of our obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility and the Existing Senior Notes and the related indentures. The notes offered hereby will not have the benefit of the contingent future guarantee provisions in our 2007 Credit Facility and the indentures governing our Existing Senior Notes. As a result, if any such guarantee is executed, holders of the notes offered by this prospectus supplement would not receive the benefit of that guarantee and would be structurally subordinated to the lenders under our 2007 Credit Facility and the holders of our Existing Senior Notes, with respect to the assets of the subsidiaries providing a guarantee.

Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to the notes, or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans, distributions or other payments. Any right that Xerox has to receive any assets of any of the subsidiaries upon the liquidation or reorganization of those subsidiaries, and the consequent rights of holders of notes to realize proceeds from the sale of any of those subsidiaries’ assets, will be subordinated to the claims of those subsidiaries’ creditors, including trade creditors and holders of preferred equity interests of those subsidiaries.

We need to maintain adequate liquidity in order to have sufficient cash to meet operating cash flow requirements and to repay maturing debt and other obligations. If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our various borrowing agreements, it may adversely affect our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.

Our liquidity is a function of our ability to successfully generate cash flows from a combination of efficient operations and improvement therein, funding from third parties, access to capital markets, securitizations and borrowings secured by our finance receivables portfolios. As of March 31, 2007, total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments was $1.3 billion, and as of May 11, 2007, our borrowing capacity under our 2007 Credit Facility was $1.7 billion, reflecting $300 million of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit that have been utilized thereunder, and our borrowing capacity under our Bridge Credit Facility was zero reflecting $1 billion of outstanding borrowings thereunder. We also have funding available through various secured borrowing arrangements. We believe our liquidity (including operating and other cash flows that we expect to generate) will be sufficient to meet operating requirements as they occur and to satisfy all scheduled debt maturities for at least the next twelve months; however, our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity going forward depends on our ability to generate cash from operations and access to the capital markets, both of which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other market factors that are beyond our control.

The 2007 Credit Facility and the Bridge Credit Facility contain affirmative and negative covenants including limitations on: (i) liens of Xerox and certain of our subsidiaries securing debt, (ii) certain fundamental changes to corporate structure, (iii) changes in nature of business and (iv) limitations on debt incurred by certain subsidiaries. The 2007 Credit Facility and the Bridge Credit Facility contain financial maintenance covenants, including maximum leverage (debt for borrowed money divided by consolidated EBITDA, as defined) and a minimum interest coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense, as defined). The indentures governing certain of our outstanding senior notes contain affirmative and negative covenants including limitations on: issuance of secured debt and preferred stock; investments and acquisitions; mergers; certain transactions with affiliates; creation of liens; asset transfers; hedging transactions; payment of dividends and certain other payments. They do not, however, contain any financial maintenance covenants, except the fixed

S-4

charge coverage ratio applicable to certain types of payments. Our U.S. Loan Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) (effective through 2010) relating to our customer financing program (the “Loan Agreement”) provides for loans secured by eligible finance receivables up to $5 billion outstanding at any time. As of March 31, 2007, $1.3 billion was outstanding under the Loan Agreement, including similar loan agreements with GE in the U.K. and Canada. These agreements incorporate the financial maintenance covenants contained in the 2007 Credit Facility and contain other affirmative and negative covenants.

At March 31, 2007, we were in full compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the senior notes and the Loan Agreement and on April 30, 2007 we were in full compliance with the covenants and other provisions of our 2007 Credit Facility and Bridge Credit Facility and expect to remain in full compliance for at least the next twelve months. Any failure to be in compliance with any material provision or covenant of the 2007 Credit Facility or the Bridge Credit Facility or the Existing Senior Notes could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition. Failure to be in compliance with the covenants in the Loan Agreement, including the financial maintenance covenants incorporated from the 2007 Credit Facility, would result in an event of termination under the Loan Agreement and in such case GECC would not be required to make further loans to us. If GECC were to make no further loans to us, and assuming a similar facility was not established and that we were unable to obtain replacement financing in the public debt markets, it could materially adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund our customers’ purchases of our equipment and this could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Collectively, the indentures governing our Existing Senior Notes and certain of our financing agreements, including the 2007 Credit Facility and the Bridge Credit Facility, contain various covenants that limit the discretion of our management in operating our business and could prevent us from engaging in some beneficial activities. The notes offered by this prospectus supplement will not have the benefit of all of these covenants.

Collectively, the indentures governing certain of our Existing Senior Notes limit, and our 2007 Credit Facility and Bridge Credit Facility limit, our ability to, among other things, issue debt and preferred stock, retire debt early, make investments and acquisitions, merge, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, create or permit to exist liens, transfer assets, enter into hedging transactions, and/or pay dividends on our common stock. The 2007 Credit Facility and Bridge Credit Facility generally do not affect our ability to continue to monetize finance receivables under the agreements with GECC and others.

Although the terms of the indentures governing certain of our outstanding senior notes restrict our ability to incur additional debt to fund significant acquisitions and restricted payments, the indentures permit us and certain of our subsidiaries to incur debt in the ordinary course and in other circumstances. Although the notes offered hereby provide additional operational flexibility to us, we are required to comply with the covenants in all of our outstanding senior notes.

A failure to comply with the covenants contained in our 2007 Credit Facility or the Bridge Credit Facility or our other existing indebtedness could result in an event of default under the 2007 Credit Facility or the Bridge Credit Facility or the existing agreements, that, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event of any default under our 2007 Credit Facility or the Bridge Credit Facility or our other indebtedness, the lenders thereunder would not be required to lend any additional amounts to us and:

•

could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be due and payable;

•

could require us to apply all of our available cash to repay these borrowings; or

•

could prevent us from making debt service payments on the notes,

any of which could result in an event of default under the notes.

S-5

If the indebtedness under our 2007 Credit Facility, the Bridge Credit Facility or our other indebtedness, including the notes, were to be accelerated, there can be no assurance that our assets would be sufficient to repay such indebtedness in full. See “Certain Other Indebtedness and Preferred Stock” and “Description of the Notes.”

The notes are unsecured, do not have the benefit of certain covenants and other provisions applicable to certain of our previously issued senior notes and are effectively subordinated to our secured indebtedness.

If Xerox becomes insolvent or is liquidated, or if payment under any of our secured debt obligations is accelerated, the secured lenders would be entitled to exercise the remedies available to a secured lender under applicable law and will have a claim on those assets before the holders of our senior notes that are unsecured or the notes offered under this prospectus supplement. As a result, the notes are effectively subordinated to our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness or the amount of indebtedness secured by those assets. Therefore, the holders of the notes may recover ratably less than the lenders of our secured debt in the event of our bankruptcy or liquidation. At March 31, 2007, on an as adjusted basis after giving effect to the issuance of notes offered by this prospectus supplement and application of the net proceeds therefrom and taking into account that we borrowed $1 billion under our Bridge Credit Agreement to partially fund our acquisition of the stock of Global Imaging and that we borrowed $300 million under our 2007 Credit Facility (of which $200 million was used to repay outstanding debt of Global Imaging), we would have had $8.4 billion of debt on a consolidated basis, of which $1.9 billion would be secured debt. In addition, the indentures governing some of our senior notes contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability to, among other things:

•

incur or guarantee additional debt;

•

pay dividends and make other restricted payments;

•

engage in sales of assets and subsidiary stock;

•

make certain loans, acquisitions, capital expenditures or investments; and

•

enter into transactions with affiliates.

The notes will not have the benefit of all of the provisions in our other debt agreements. The breach of any of these provisions would give the holders of the previously issued notes the right to accelerate the maturity of their notes. The holders of the notes offered by this prospectus supplement would not have the right to accelerate the maturity of the notes due to the acceleration of our other debt.

Your right to receive payments on the notes could be adversely affected if any of our subsidiaries declares bankruptcy, liquidates or reorganizes.

In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our subsidiaries, holders of their indebtedness and their trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us. At March 31, 2007, our subsidiaries had approximately $5.3 billion of outstanding indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables but excluding intercompany liabilities. Our subsidiaries may incur substantial additional indebtedness.

We may not be able to purchase your notes upon a change of control repurchase event.

Upon the occurrence of specified “change of control repurchase events,” we will be required to offer to purchase each holder’s notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may not have sufficient financial resources to purchase all of the notes that holders tender to us upon a change of control offer. The occurrence of a change of control could also constitute an event of default under any of our future debt agreements. See “Description of the Notes—Change of Control Repurchase Event” in this prospectus supplement.

S-6

Our Existing Senior Notes, our 6.75% Senior Notes due 2017 and our Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2009 also contain change in control requirements, but they do not require that a change in control be accompanied by a debt ratings downgrade. Xerox may not have sufficient financial resources to purchase all of the notes that are tendered upon a change of control offer or to redeem such notes. The occurrence of a change of control would also constitute an event of default under our 2007 Credit Facility and Bridge Loan Facility and could constitute an event of default under our other indebtedness. Our bank lenders may have the right to prohibit any such purchase or redemption, in which event we would seek to obtain waivers from the required lenders under our 2007 Credit Facility and Bridge Loan Facility and our other indebtedness, but we may not be successful in obtaining such waivers. See “Description of the Notes—Change of Control Repurchase Event” in this prospectus supplement.

An active trading market may not develop for the notes.

The notes are new securities for which there currently is no established market. We do not intend to apply for the notes to be listed on any securities exchange or to arrange for the notes to be quoted on any quotation system. Although the underwriters have informed us that they currently intend to make a market in the notes, they are not obligated to do so and any market may be discontinued at any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the development or liquidity of any market for any of the notes. See “Underwriting.”

Risks related to our business

We face significant competition and our failure to compete successfully could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We operate in an environment of significant competition, driven by rapid technological advances and the demands of customers to become more efficient. Our competitors range from large international companies to relatively small firms. Some of the large international companies have significant financial resources and compete with us globally to provide document processing products and services in each of the markets we serve. We compete primarily on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand, distribution and customer service and support. Our success in future performance is largely dependent upon our ability to compete successfully in the markets we currently serve and to expand into additional market segments. To remain competitive, we must develop new products, services, and applications and periodically enhance our existing offerings. If we are unable to compete successfully, we could lose market share and important customers to our competitors and that could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We need to develop and expand the use of color printing and copying.

Increasing the proportion of pages that are printed in color and transitioning color pages currently produced on offset devices to Xerox technology represent key growth opportunities. A significant part of our strategy and ultimate success in this changing market is our ability to develop and market technology that produces color prints and copies quickly, easily, with high quality and at reduced cost. Our continuing success in this strategy depends on our ability to make the investments and commit the necessary resources in this highly competitive market, as well as the pace of color adoption by our existing and prospective customers. If we are unable to develop and market advanced and competitive color technologies or the pace of color adoption by our existing and prospective customers is less than anticipated, or the price of color pages declines at a greater rate and faster pace than we anticipate, we may be unable to capture these opportunities and it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

If we fail to successfully develop new products and technologies, we may be unable to retain current customers and gain new customers and our revenues would be reduced.

The process of developing new high technology products and solutions is inherently complex and uncertain. It requires accurate anticipation of customers’ changing needs and emerging technological trends. We must make

S-7

long-term investments and commit significant resources before knowing whether these investments will eventually result in products that achieve customer acceptance and generate the revenues required to provide desired returns. We also must ensure that all of our products comply with existing and newly enacted applicable regulatory requirements in the countries in which they are sold, particularly European Union environmental directives. If we fail to accurately anticipate and meet our customers’ needs through the development of new products or if our new products are not widely accepted or if our current or future products fail to meet applicable worldwide regulatory requirements, we could lose market share and customers to our competitors and that could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our profitability is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate pricing for our products and to improve our cost structure.

Our success depends on our ability to obtain adequate pricing for our products and services which provides a reasonable return to our shareholders. Depending on competitive market factors, future prices we obtain for our products and services may decline from previous levels. In addition, pricing actions to offset the effect of currency devaluations may not prove sufficient to offset further devaluations or may not hold in the face of customer resistance and/or competition. If we are unable to obtain adequate pricing for our products and services, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Since 2000, we have engaged in a series of restructuring programs related to downsizing our employee base, exiting certain businesses, outsourcing some internal functions and engaging in other actions designed to reduce our cost structure. If we are unable to continue to maintain our cost base at or below the current level and maintain process and systems changes resulting from the restructuring actions, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our ability to sustain and improve profit margins is dependent on a number of factors, including our ability to continue to improve the cost efficiency of our operations through such programs as Lean Six Sigma, the level of pricing pressures on our products and services, the proportion of high-end as opposed to low-end equipment sales, the trend in our post-sale revenue growth, and, our ability to successfully complete information technology initiatives. If any of these factors adversely materialize or if we are unable to achieve productivity improvements through design efficiency, supplier and manufacturing cost improvements and information technology initiatives, our ability to offset labor cost inflation, potential materials cost increases and competitive price pressures would be impaired, any of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We have outsourced a significant portion of our overall worldwide manufacturing operations and face the risks associated with relying on third party manufacturers and external suppliers.

We have outsourced a significant portion of our overall worldwide manufacturing operations to third parties and various service providers. To the extent that we rely on third party manufacturing relationships, we face the risk that those manufacturers may not be able to develop manufacturing methods appropriate for our products, they may not be able to quickly respond to changes in customer demand for our products, they may not be able to obtain supplies and materials necessary for the manufacturing process, they may experience labor shortages and/or disruptions, manufacturing costs could be higher than planned and the reliability of our products could decline. If any of these risks were to be realized, and assuming similar third-party manufacturing relationships could not be established, we could experience an interruption in supply or an increase in costs that might result in our being unable to meet customer demand for our products, damage our relationships with our customers and reduce our market share, all of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted by economic conditions abroad, including fluctuating foreign currencies and shifting regulatory schemes.

Approximately half of our revenue is generated from operations outside the United States. In addition, we manufacture or acquire many of our products and/or their components from, and maintain significant operations,

S-8

outside the United States. Our future revenues, costs and results of operations could be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as well as by a number of other factors, including changes in economic conditions from country to country, changes in a country’s political conditions, trade protection measures, licensing requirements, local tax issues, capitalization and other related legal matters. We generally hedge foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and anticipated transactions primarily through the use of currency derivative contracts. The use of derivative contracts is intended to mitigate or reduce transactional level volatility in the results of foreign operations, but does not eliminate volatility. We do not hedge the translation effect of international revenues and expenses, which are denominated in currencies other than our U.S. parent functional currency, within our consolidated financial statements.

Our operating results may be negatively impacted by lower equipment placements and revenue trends.

Our ability to return to and maintain a consistent trend of revenue growth over the intermediate to longer term is largely dependent upon expansion of our worldwide equipment placements, as well as sales of services and supplies occurring after the initial equipment placement (post sale revenue) in the key growth markets of digital printing, color and multifunction systems. We expect that revenue growth can be further enhanced through our document management and consulting services in the areas of personalized and product life cycle communications, office and production services and document content and imaging. The ability to achieve growth in our equipment placements is subject to the successful implementation of our initiatives to provide advanced systems, industry-oriented global solutions and services for major customers, improve direct sales productivity and expand our indirect distribution channels in our developing markets operations and other geographic areas in the face of global competition and pricing pressures. Our ability to increase post sale revenue is largely dependent on our ability to increase the volume of pages printed, the mix of color pages, equipment utilization and color adoption. Equipment placements typically occur through leases with original terms of three to five years. There will be a lag between the increase in equipment placement and an increase in post sale revenues. The ability to grow our customers’ usage of our products may continue to be adversely impacted by the movement toward distributed printing and electronic substitutes and the impact of lower equipment placements in prior periods. If we are unable to maintain a consistent trend of revenue growth, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our ability to fund our customer financing activities at economically competitive levels depends on our ability to borrow and the cost of borrowing in the credit market.

The long-term viability and profitability of our customer financing activities is dependent, in part, on our ability to borrow and the cost of borrowing in the credit markets. This ability and cost, in turn, is dependent on our credit ratings. We are currently funding our customer financing activity through a combination of capital markets offerings, cash generated from operations, cash on hand, other secured and unsecured borrowings and, to a lesser degree, third-party funding arrangements. Our ability to continue to offer customer financing and be successful in the placement of equipment with customers is largely dependent on our ability to obtain funding at a reasonable cost. If we are unable to continue to offer customer financing, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted by legal and regulatory matters.

We have various contingent liabilities that are not reflected on our balance sheet, including those arising as a result of being involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings concerning securities law, intellectual property law, environmental law, employment law and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), as discussed in the “Contingencies” note to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess potential liability by analyzing our litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with legal counsel

S-9

handling our defense in these matters, which involves an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Should developments in any of our legal matters cause a change in our determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material accrual, or should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts, they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period or periods in which such change in determination, judgment or settlement occurs.

Our operations are subject to environmental regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we conduct our business. Some of our manufacturing operations use, and some of our products contain, substances that are regulated in various jurisdictions. The European Union Directive known as the Restriction on the Use of Hazardous Substances (“RoHS”), effective in July 2006, requires the removal of lead, cadmium and certain other substances from product designs put on the market in the European Union beginning in July 2006. We continue RoHS compliance activities with respect to our products. The RoHS directive does not have a material impact on our product lines. In addition, various other countries and jurisdictions have proposed and/or are expected to adopt restrictions similar to RoHS. If we do not comply with applicable rules and regulations in connection with the use of such substances and the sale of products containing such substances, then we could be subject to liability and could be prevented from selling our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Further, we could also face substantial costs and liabilities in connection with product take-back legislation. Beginning in 2005, we became subject to the European Union Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (“WEEE”) as enacted by individual European Union countries (“WEEE Legislation”), which makes producers of electrical goods, including computers and printers, responsible for collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of recovered products. We continue to conduct WEEE compliance activities and continue to evaluate the impact of specific registration and compliance activities required by WEEE Legislation. Other jurisdictions throughout the United States and the world have also proposed, or may adopt, product take-back regulations. If we are unable to collect, recycle, treat and dispose of our products in a cost-effective manner and in accordance with applicable requirements, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Other potentially relevant initiatives throughout the world include proposals for more extensive chemical registration requirements, various efforts to limit energy use in products and other environmentally related product programs. As these initiatives and programs become regulatory requirements and/or are adopted as public or private procurement requirements, we must comply or potentially face market access limitations that could have a material adverse affect on our operations and financial condition.

We need to successfully integrate Global Imaging Systems, Inc. into our operations in order to realize all of the anticipated benefits from the transaction.

On May 11, 2007, we announced that we had completed the acquisition of Global Imaging Systems, Inc. Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of this acquisition is subject to certain risks including, but not limited to, the risk that the businesses of Xerox and Global Imaging will not be integrated successfully, or that such integration will take longer than anticipated; the risk that the expected cost savings from the Global Imaging transaction will not be achieved or unexpected costs will be incurred; the risk that the customer retention goals for the Global Imaging transaction will not be met; and the risk that the disruptions from the Global Imaging transaction will harm relationships with customers, employees and suppliers.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds of this offering after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, are expected to be approximately $1,088,393,000. We will use the net proceeds of this offering to repay our $1 billion borrowing under our Bridge Credit Agreement that was used to partially fund our May 11, 2007 acquisition of the stock of Global Imaging, as required by the terms of the Bridge Credit Agreement. The borrowing under the Bridge Credit Agreement currently bears interest at a rate of 5.87% and matures on April 28, 2008. Any remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

The following description of the particular terms of the notes offered by this prospectus supplement supplements, and to the extent inconsistent therewith replaces, the description of the general terms and provisions of the senior debt securities set forth under the caption “Description of Debt Securities and Convertible Debt Securities” in the accompanying prospectus. Terms used in this prospectus supplement that are otherwise not defined have the meanings given to them in the accompanying prospectus.

We will issue $1,100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior notes due 2012 (the “Notes”) pursuant to an indenture dated as of June 25, 2003, as supplemented to date (the “Indenture”), between Xerox and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (as successor by merger with Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association), as Trustee (the “Trustee”). The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture. It does not include all of the provisions of the Indenture. We urge you to read the Indenture because it, not this description, defines your rights. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”). A copy of the Indenture may be obtained from the Underwriters or the Company. You can find definitions of certain capitalized terms used in this description under “—Certain Definitions.” For purposes of this section, references to the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” include only Xerox Corporation and not its subsidiaries.

The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company, ranking pari passu in right of payment with all other senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to all secured debt of the Company, structurally subordinated to the debt of the Company’s Subsidiaries and effectively subordinated to the other senior debt of the Company that has the benefit of certain provisions and covenants not applicable to the notes.

The Company will issue the Notes in fully registered form in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The Trustee will initially act as Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes. The Notes may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange at the offices of the Registrar. The Company may change the Paying Agent and Registrar without notice to holders of the Notes (the “Holders”). It is expected that the Company will pay principal and interest (and premium, if any) on the Notes at the Trustee’s corporate office by wire transfer, if book-entry at DTC, or check mailed to the registered address of Holders.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The Notes will mature on May 15, 2012. $1,100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes will be issued in this offering. After the Issue Date, additional notes (“Additional Notes”) may be issued from time to time. The Notes and the Additional Notes of the same series that are actually issued will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, as to waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes of the Indenture and this “Description of the Notes,” references to the Notes include any Additional Notes actually issued.

Interest on the Notes will accrue at the rate of 5.50% per annum and will be payable semiannually in cash on each May 15 and November 15, commencing on November 15, 2007, to the persons who are registered Holders

S-11

at the close of business on the May 1 and November 1 immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the date of issuance to but excluding the actual interest payment date.

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Optional Redemption

The Company may at any time and from time to time, at its option, redeem the Notes that are outstanding (in whole or in part) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to the applicable redemption date, plus the applicable Make-Whole Premium (a “Note Redemption”). The Company shall give not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice to such redemption.

In the event that the Company chooses to redeem less than all of the Notes, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee either:

(1) in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed; or

(2) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis or such other method which the Trustee deems appropriate.

“Make-Whole Premium” with respect to a Note means an amount equal to the excess of (a) the present value of the remaining interest, premium and principal payments due on such Note to its final maturity date computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate on such date plus 0.15%, over (b) the outstanding principal amount of such Note.

“Treasury Rate” for any date, means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available at least two business days prior to the date the redemption is effected pursuant to a Specified Redemption (the “Specified Redemption Date”) (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data) most nearly equal to the period from the Specified Redemption Date to May 15, 2012; provided, however, that if the period from the Specified Redemption Date to May 15, 2012, as the case may be, is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given except that if the period from the Specified Redemption Date to May 15, 2012 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

Change of Control Repurchase Event

If a change of control repurchase event occurs, unless we have exercised our right to redeem the notes as described above, we will be required to make an offer to each holder of notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000) of that holder’s notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any change of control repurchase event or, at our option, prior to any change of control, but after the public announcement of the change of control, we will deliver a notice to each holder, with a copy to the trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the change of control repurchase event and offering to repurchase notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered. The notice shall, if delivered prior to the date of consummation of the change of control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on a change of

S-12

control repurchase event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. We will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a change of control repurchase event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the change of control repurchase event provisions of the notes, we will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the change of control repurchase event provisions of the notes by virtue of such conflict.

On the repurchase date following a change of control repurchase event, we will, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to our offer;

(2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all notes or portions of notes properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the notes properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes being purchased by us.

The paying agent will promptly pay to each holder of notes properly tendered the purchase price for the notes, and the trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any notes surrendered; provided that each new note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000.

We will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes upon a change of control repurchase event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by us and such third party purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

For purposes of the foregoing discussion of a repurchase at the option of holders, the following definitions are applicable:

“below investment grade ratings event” means that on any day within the 60-day period (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the rating agencies) after the earlier of (1) the occurrence of a change of control; or (2) public notice of the occurrence of a change of control or the intention by Xerox to effect a change of control, the notes are rated below investment grade by each of the rating agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a below investment grade ratings event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular change of control (and thus shall not be deemed a below investment grade ratings event for purposes of the definition of change of control repurchase event hereunder) if the rating agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable change of control (whether or not the applicable change of control shall have occurred at the time of the ratings event).

“change of control” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events:

(1) any “person,” including its affiliates and associates, other than the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any “group” files a Schedule 13D or Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act) disclosing that such person or group has become the “beneficial owner” of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s Capital Stock or other Capital Stock into which the Company’s Common Stock is reclassified or changed, with certain exceptions having ordinary power to elect directors, or has the power to, directly or indirectly, elect managers, trustees or a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors;

(2) there shall be consummated any share exchange, consolidation or merger of the Company pursuant to which the Company’s Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, or the

S-13

Company sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, in each case other than pursuant to a share exchange, consolidation or merger of the Company in which the holders of the Company’s Common Stock immediately prior to the share exchange, consolidation or merger have, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the total voting power in the aggregate of all classes of Capital Stock or the continuing or surviving corporation immediately after the share exchange, consolidation or merger;

(3) the Company is dissolved or liquidated; or

(4) the first day on which a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors.

“change of control repurchase event” means the occurrence of both a change of control and a below investment grade ratings event.

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Company’s Board of Directors who (1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date of the issuance of the notes; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director).

“Fitch” means Fitch Ratings Ltd.

“investment grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P or Fitch (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P and Fitch); and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional rating agency or rating agencies selected by us.

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service Inc.

“rating agency” means (1) each of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch; and (2) if any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch ceases to rate the notes or fails to make a rating of the notes publicly available for reasons outside of our control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, selected by us (as certified by a resolution of our board of directors) as a replacement agency for Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, or all of them, as the case may be.

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc.

“voting stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.

The change of control repurchase event feature of the notes may in certain circumstances make more difficult or discourage a sale or takeover of Xerox and, thus, the removal of incumbent management. Subject to the limitations discussed below, we could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a change of control under the notes, but that could increase the amount of indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or credit ratings on the notes. Restrictions on our ability to incur liens are contained in the covenants as described in the accompanying prospectus under “Description of the Debt Securities and Convertible Debt Securities—Provisions Applicable Only to Senior Debt Securities—Covenants—Limitation on Liens.”

We may not have sufficient funds to repurchase all the notes upon a change of control repurchase event. In addition, even if we have sufficient funds, we may be prohibited from repurchasing the Notes by the terms of certain of our other indebtedness. See “Risk Factors—we may not be able to purchase your notes upon a change of control repurchase event.”

Mandatory Redemption; Offers to Purchase; Open Market Purchases

The Company is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments or any offers to purchase with respect to the Notes. We may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.

S-14

CERTAIN OTHER INDEBTEDNESS AND PREFERRED STOCK

The following summary of certain provisions of the instruments evidencing our material indebtedness does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the agreements summarized below. We have previously filed with the SEC copies of the agreements summarized below. See “Where You Can Find More Information.” You should refer to those documents for the complete terms of the instruments evidencing our material indebtedness.

2007 Credit Facility

The 2007 Credit Facility is a $2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility including a $300 million letter of credit subfacility. The facility allows us to increase from time to time, with willing lenders, the overall size of the 2007 Credit Facility to an aggregate amount not to exceed $2.5 billion. The facility is available, without sublimit, to certain of our qualifying subsidiaries.

Our obligations under the facility are unsecured and are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. However, if in the future any of our domestic subsidiaries guarantees any debt for money borrowed by us of more than $100 million, that subsidiary is required to guaranty our obligations under the facility as well. In the event that any of our subsidiaries borrow under the facility, its borrowings thereunder would be guaranteed by us.

Borrowings under the 2007 Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread that will vary between 0.180% and 0.750% depending on our then-current credit ratings. In addition, we are required to pay a facility fee on the aggregate amount of the revolving credit facility which will vary from 0.070% to 0.200% depending on our then-current credit ratings. The interest rate applicable to our May 11, 2007 $300 million borrowing under the 2007 Credit Facility was 5.745%, which is comprised of 5.32% LIBOR plus the 0.425% spread, and the facility fee rate was 0.125%. On any date on which the aggregate principal amount of the advances plus the available amount of letters of credit outstanding under the 2007 Credit Agreement exceed 50% of the aggregate commitments, we are required to pay a utilization fee of 0.10% on the entire amount of the advances and outstanding letters of credit.

The 2007 Credit Facility matures in April 2012, subject to our right to request a one-year extension on each of the first and second anniversaries of the facility. The facility contains various conditions to borrowing, and affirmative, negative and financial maintenance covenants. Certain of the more significant covenants are summarized below:

(a) Maximum leverage ratio (a quarterly test that is calculated as debt for borrowed money divided by consolidated EBITDA, as defined) ranging from 4.00 to 3.25 over the life of the facility.

(b) Minimum interest coverage ratio (a quarterly test that is calculated as consolidated EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense) may not be less than 3.00:1.

(c) Limitations on (i) liens of Xerox and certain of our subsidiaries securing debt, (ii) certain fundamental changes to corporate structure, (iii) changes in nature of business and (iv) limitations on debt incurred by certain subsidiaries.

The 2007 Credit Facility also contains various events of default, the occurrence of which could result in a termination by the lenders and the acceleration of all our obligations under the facility. These events of default include, without limitation: (i) payment defaults, (ii) breaches of covenants under the facility (certain of which breaches do not have any grace period), (iii) cross-defaults and acceleration to certain of our other obligations and (iv) a change of control of Xerox.

As of May 11, 2007, we had borrowing capacity under the 2007 Credit Facility of $1.7 billion, reflecting $300 million of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit that have been utilized.

S-15

2007 Bridge Credit Facility

The 2007 Bridge Credit Agreement is a $1.0 billion unsecured 364-day credit facility (“Bridge Credit Agreement”). We are the only borrower under the Bridge Credit Agreement. Our obligations under the Bridge Credit Agreement are unsecured and are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. However, if in the future any of our domestic subsidiaries guarantees any debt for money borrowed by us of more than $100 million, that subsidiary is required to guaranty our obligations under the Bridge Credit Agreement as well.

Borrowings under the Bridge Credit Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread that will vary between 0.200% and 0.775% depending on our then-current credit ratings. In addition, we are required to pay a facility fee on the aggregate amount of the Bridge Credit Agreement which will vary from 0.050% to 0.175% depending on our then-current credit ratings. The interest rate applicable to our May 10, 2007 $1 billion borrowing under the Bridge Credit Agreement was 5.87%, which is comprised of 5.32% LIBOR plus the 0.45% spread plus the 0.10% utilization fee, and the facility fee rate was 0.10%. On any date on which the aggregate principal amount of the advances under the Bridge Credit Agreement exceed 50% of the aggregate commitments, we are required to pay a utilization fee of 0.10% on the entire amount of the advances.

The commitments of the lenders under the Bridge Credit Agreement to make loans to us are automatically and permanently reduced on the date and in the amount of the net cash proceeds of any public or 144A issuance in the capital markets by us or by any of our subsidiaries of indebtedness (other than indebtedness having a maturity of 270 days or less) or of equity, equity-linked, equity like or hybrid securities. Within two business days after such commitments are reduced, we are required to use such net proceeds to prepay outstanding advances under the Bridge Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such outstanding advances to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate commitments of the lenders on such date. Any such prepayment shall be made together with interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid.

The Bridge Credit Agreement matures on April 28, 2008. The Bridge Credit Agreement contains substantially the same conditions to borrowing, events of default and affirmative, negative and finance maintenance covenants as our 2007 Credit Agreement, which are described above under “2007 Credit Agreement”.

Liability to Subsidiary Trust Issuing Preferred Securities

In 1997, Xerox Capital Trust I (“Trust I”) issued 650,000 of 8.0% preferred securities (the “Preferred Securities”) to investors for $644 million ($650 million liquidation value) and 20,103 shares of common securities to us for $20 million. With the proceeds from these securities, Trust I purchased $670 million principal amount of 8.0% Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2027 of the Company (the “Debentures”). The Debentures represent all of the assets of Trust I. On a consolidated basis, we received net proceeds of $637 million which was net of fees and discounts of $13 million. Interest expense, together with the amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts, amounted to $54 million in each 2006, 2005 and 2004. We have guaranteed (the “Trust Guarantee”), on a subordinated basis, distributions and other payments due on the Preferred Securities. The Trust Guarantee and our obligations under the Debentures and in the indenture pursuant to which the debentures were issued and our obligations under the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust governing the trust, taken together, provide a full and unconditional guarantee of amounts due on the Preferred Securities. The Preferred Securities accrue and pay cash distributions semiannually at a rate of 8% per year of the stated liquidation amount of one thousand dollars per Preferred Security. The Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the Debentures on February 1, 2027, or earlier to the extent of any redemption by us of any Debentures.

Description of Senior Secured Loan Agreement with GECC

In October 2002, Xerox Lease Funding LLC, a special purpose Delaware limited liability company that is our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Funding SPE”) entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) whereby GECC became our primary equipment financing provider in the U.S. through loans secured by new lease originations. The Loan Agreement has an initial term of eight years and, commencing at the end of 2010, will automatically renew for successive two-year periods unless either we or GECC has elected not to have the Loan Agreement renew at least one year before a renewal would otherwise occur.

The Loan Agreement provides for secured loans of up to $5 billion outstanding at any one time. GECC makes loans under the Loan Agreement to Funding SPE. Funding SPE uses the loan proceeds to purchase our finance receivables. The maximum potential level of borrowing under the Loan Agreement is a function of the size of the portfolio of finance receivables generated by us that meet GECC’s funding requirements and cannot exceed $5 billion in any event. All obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by the receivables being financed by GECC, the contracts relating to the receivables being financed by GECC and other related security. GECC’s obligation to make loans under the Loan Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary representations, warranties and covenants.

The interest rate on each loan is fixed and is calculated when the loan is made based on yield rates consistent with average rates for similar market-based transactions. Consistent with the loans already received from GECC, the amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement are recorded as secured borrowings and the associated receivables are included in our balance sheet. As of March 31, 2007, $1.3 billion was outstanding under the Loan Agreement including similar loan agreements with GE in the U.K. and Canada.

GECC’s commitment to fund under the Loan Agreement is not contingent on us achieving or maintaining any particular credit rating. There are no credit rating defaults that could impair future funding under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement contains various default provisions, including cross default provisions related to certain financial covenants contained in the 2007 Credit Facility and other significant debt facilities, which are discussed below. Most types of defaults would impair our ability to receive subsequent funding until the default is cured or waived but would not accelerate the repayment of our outstanding borrowings. However, certain types of defaults would result in an acceleration of outstanding borrowings. As of March 31, 2007, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Agreement and expect to be in compliance for at least the next twelve months.

The following are events of default under the Loan Agreement:

•

the occurrence of a Termination Event (defined below);

•

a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy of Xerox (remaining undismissed or unstayed for 60 days or more); or

•

Xerox becomes an “Investment Company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default described in (b) or (c) above, GECC can terminate its obligation to make any further loans and can accelerate the maturity of any or all then-outstanding loans. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, GECC can terminate its obligation to make any further loans, but is not entitled to accelerate the maturity of outstanding loans. The loans under the Loan Agreement are generally non-recourse to Xerox. Therefore, even if GECC were to accelerate the maturity of outstanding loans, its only recourse would be to proceed against the financed receivables held by Funding SPE who is the borrower under the Loan Agreement.

S-20

The term “Termination Event” includes, but is not limited to, the following events that would allow GECC to terminate the Loan Agreement:

•

any default under the 2007 Credit Facility or any facility in excess of $75 million which replaces or refinances the 2007 Credit Facility, at any time that loans or advances are outstanding thereunder, where the default or event of default relates to or is determined by the net worth of Xerox, including without limitation, a default under Section 5.03(a) (Leverage Ratio) or Section 5.03(b) (Interest Coverage Ratio) of the 2007 Credit Facility;

•

any default or event of default under any indebtedness of Xerox (or any subsidiary of Xerox) for borrowed money (or any indebtedness for borrowed money guaranteed by Xerox or any subsidiary of Xerox) in excess of $75 million in the aggregate if such default or event of default gives rise to an acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness;

•

voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy of Xerox (remaining undismissed or unstayed for 60 days or more);

•

a change of control of Xerox, including a sale of all or substantially all of Xerox’s assets or the acquisition by a person or related group of persons of 30% or more of the voting stock of Xerox, if the person acquiring control is a competitor of GECC or does not have debt that is rated investment grade;

•

a material breach of payment obligations or certain other specified provisions by Xerox (or Funding SPE or the other special purpose Xerox subsidiary utilized in structuring the transaction) under the Loan Agreement or any related agreement;

•

an equipment service default where Xerox fails to provide specified levels of service with respect to the equipment related to the receivables financed by GECC;

•

an equipment supply default where Xerox fails to ship specified levels of supplies with respect to the equipment related to the receivables financed by GECC;

•

a change in operations of Xerox where Xerox ceases to offer lease or loan financing to non-consumer customers and, after that change, the aggregate outstanding balance under the Loan Agreement is less than $500 million;

•

a sales channel termination event where 50% or more of Xerox’s aggregate sales to non-consumer customers are comprised of sales to dealers, distributors, wholesalers or other persons who are not non-consumer end-users of the equipment, Xerox and GECC fail to reach agreement within six months on how to amend the Loan Agreement to adjust for the consequences of the change in sales channels, and the aggregate outstanding balance under the Loan Agreement is less than $500 million; or

•

the joint venture established by us and GECC that services the receivables financed by GECC is dissolved.

Description of 2004 Secured Trade Receivables Facility with GECC

In June 2004 we completed a transaction with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) for a three-year $400 million revolving credit facility secured by U.S. accounts receivable (the “Trade Facility”). Any borrowings under the Trade Facility are accounted for as secured borrowings as both the accounts receivable and related borrowings would be reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2007, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Trade Facility. The Trade Facility will terminate in June 2007.

Under the Trade Facility, GECC makes monthly revolving loans to Xerox Trade Receivables LLC, a special purpose Delaware limited liability company that is our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Trade SPE”). Trade SPE uses the loan proceeds to purchase our trade receivables. All obligations under the Trade Facility are secured by the receivables being financed by GECC, the contracts relating to such receivables and other related security. GECC’s obligation to make loans under the Trade Facility is subject to the receivables satisfying certain criteria and the satisfaction of certain customary representations, warranties and covenants.

S-21

The interest rate on each loan is fixed and is calculated when the loan is made based on 30-day LIBOR rates.

GECC’s commitment to fund under the Trade Facility is not contingent on us achieving or maintaining any particular credit rating. There are no credit rating defaults that could impair future funding under the Trade Facility. The Trade Facility contains various default provisions, but does not contain cross default provisions related to financial covenants of Xerox contained in other significant debt facilities. Most types of defaults would accelerate the repayment of our outstanding borrowings. The loans under the Trade Facility are generally non-recourse to Xerox. Therefore, even if GECC were to accelerate the maturity of outstanding loans, its only recourse would be to proceed against the receivables held by Trade SPE as the borrower under the Trade Facility. As of March 31, 2007, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Trade Facility and expect to be in compliance for at least the next twelve months.

In addition to customary events of default, the following are some of the other events of default under the Trade Facility:

•

any default or event of default under any indebtedness of Xerox (or Trade SPE) for borrowed money (or any indebtedness for borrowed money guaranteed by Xerox or Trade SPE) in excess of $50 million in the aggregate if such default or event of default gives rise to an acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness;

•

voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy of Xerox or Trade SPE (remaining undismissed or unstayed for 90 days or more);

•

a change of control of Xerox (including a sale of all or substantially all of Xerox’s assets or the acquisition by a person or related group of persons of 20% or more of the voting stock of Xerox), or of the joint venture established by us and GECC (“XCS”) that services the receivables financed by GECC under the Trade Facility and the Loan Agreement or of Trade SPE;

•

GECC ceases to be the manager of XCS or an event occurs that gives GECC the right to terminate the servicing responsibilities of XCS; and

•

a breach of payment obligations or certain other specified provisions by Trade SPE under the Trade Facility and related documents.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR NON-UNITED STATES HOLDERS

The following is a general discussion of the anticipated material United States federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined below) of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the notes. Unless otherwise stated, this discussion is limited to the tax consequences to those Non-U.S. Holders who are the original beneficial owners of the notes and who hold such notes as capital assets. This discussion does not address specific tax consequences that may be relevant to particular persons (including, for example, pass-through entities (e.g., partnerships) or persons who hold the notes through pass-through entities, banks or financial institutions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, tax-exempt entities, common trust funds, controlled foreign corporations, dealers in securities or currencies, persons that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar and persons in special situations, such as those who hold notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction, or other integrated investment). In addition, this discussion does not describe any tax consequences arising under United States federal gift and estate or other federal tax laws or under the tax laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Treasury Department regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.

Prospective purchasers of the notes are encouraged to consult their tax advisors concerning the United States federal income tax consequences to them of acquiring, owning and disposing of the notes, as well as the application of state, local and foreign income and other tax laws.

For purposes of this discussion, a Non-U.S. Holder is a holder that is not a U.S. person or a partnership. A “U.S. person” means (i) a citizen or individual resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation (including an entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) or a partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of the source; or (iv) a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all its substantial decisions, or if the trust was in existence on August 20, 1996, and has properly elected to continue to be treated as a U.S. person. If a partnership holds our notes, the United States federal income tax consequences of payments received by such partnership will in many cases be determined by reference to the status of a partner and the activities of the partnership.

Payments of Interest. Payments of principal and interest on the notes by us or any of our agents to a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to United States federal withholding tax, provided that:

(1)

the Non-U.S. Holder does not actually or constructively own 10 percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote;

(2)

the Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us through stock ownership;

(3)

either (A) the beneficial owner of the notes certifies to us or our agent on IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form), under penalties of perjury, that it is not a U.S. person and provides its name and address and the certificate is renewed periodically as required by the Treasury Regulations, or (B) the notes are held through certain foreign intermediaries and the beneficial owner of the notes satisfies certification requirements of applicable Treasury Regulations, and in either case, neither we nor our agent has actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner of the note is a U.S. person. Special certification rules apply to certain Non-U.S. Holders that are entities rather than individuals;

(4)

The income from the notes held by the Non-U.S. Holder is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States; and

S-23

(5)

the Non-U.S. Holder is not a bank (as such term is used in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code), is not subject to regulatory or other legal requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, and has not been treated as a bank for purposes of any tax, securities law or other filing or submission made to any governmental authority, any application made to a rating agency or any qualification for any exemption from any tax, securities law or other legal requirements.

If a Non-U.S. Holder cannot satisfy the requirements of the portfolio interest exemption described above (the “Portfolio Interest Exemption”), payments of interest made to such Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to a 30% withholding tax unless the beneficial owner of the note provides us or our agent, as the case may be, with a properly executed:

(1)

IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) claiming an exemption from withholding or reduced rate of tax under the benefit of an applicable tax treaty (a “Treaty Exemption”) or

(2)

IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) stating that interest paid on the note is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business of the beneficial owner, each form to be renewed periodically as required by the Treasury Regulations.

If interest on the note is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business of the beneficial owner, the Non-U.S. Holder, although exempt from the withholding tax described above, will be subject to United States federal income tax on such interest on a net income basis in the same manner as if it were a U.S. holder. In addition, if such Non-U.S. Holder is a foreign corporation, it may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to adjustments. For this purpose, interest on a note will be included in such foreign corporation’s earnings and profits.

Disposition of Notes. Generally, no withholding of United States federal income tax will be required with respect to any gain realized by a Non-U.S. Holder upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of a note.

A Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to United States federal income tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of a note unless (a) the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 or more days in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met, or (b) such gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. trade or business.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information reporting and backup withholding will not be required with respect to payments that we make to a Non-U.S. Holder if the Non-U.S. Holder has (i) furnished documentation establishing eligibility for the Portfolio Interest Exemption or a Treaty Exemption (provided that, in the case of a sale of a note by an individual, Form W-8BEN (or successor form) includes a certification that the individual has not been, and does not intend to be, present in the United States for 183 days or more days for the relevant period) or (ii) otherwise establishes an exemption, provided that neither we nor our agent has actual knowledge that the holder is a U.S. person or that the conditions of any exemption are not in fact satisfied. Certain additional rules may apply where the notes are held through a custodian, nominee, broker, foreign partnership or foreign intermediary.

In addition, information reporting and backup withholding will not apply to the proceeds of the sale of a note made within the United States or conducted through certain United States related financial intermediaries, if the payor receives the statement described above and does not have actual knowledge that the Non-U.S. Holder is a U.S. person, or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

IRS Circular 230 Disclosure

Any U.S. federal tax advice contained in this prospectus supplement is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding tax penalties under the Code. This advice was written in connection with the promotion and marketing of the notes. Prospective purchasers of the notes should seek advice based on their particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM

We have obtained the information in this section concerning The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), Clearstream Banking, S.A., Luxembourg (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”) and Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and their book-entry systems and procedures from sources that we believe to be reliable. We take no responsibility for an accurate portrayal of this information. In addition, the description of the clearing systems in this section reflects our understanding of the rules and procedures of DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear as they are currently in effect. Those systems could change their rules and procedures at any time.

The notes will initially be represented by one or more fully registered global notes. Each such global note will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC or any successor thereto and registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s nominee). You may hold your interests in the global notes in the United States through DTC, or in Europe through Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear, either as a participant in such systems or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems. Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear will hold interests in the global notes on behalf of their respective participating organizations or customers through customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream, Luxembourg’s or Euroclear’s names on the books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold those positions in customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of DTC. Citibank, N.A. will act as depositary for Clearstream, Luxembourg and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will act as depositary for Euroclear.

So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the global securities representing the notes, DTC or such nominee will be considered the sole owner and holder of the notes for all purposes of the notes and the indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in the notes will not be entitled to have the notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the notes in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the indenture, including for purposes of receiving any reports delivered by us or the trustee pursuant to the indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a note must rely on the procedures of DTC or its nominee and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, in order to exercise any rights of a holder of notes.

Unless and until we issue the notes in fully certificated, registered form under the limited circumstances described below under the heading “—Certificated Notes”:

•

you will not be entitled to receive a certificate representing your interest in the notes;

•

all references in this prospectus or an accompanying prospectus supplement to actions by holders will refer to actions taken by DTC upon instructions from its direct participants; and

•

all references in this prospectus or an accompanying prospectus supplement to payments and notices to holders will refer to payments and notices to DTC or Cede & Co., as the registered holder of the notes, for distribution to you in accordance with DTC procedures.

The Depository Trust Company

DTC will act as securities depositary for the notes. The notes will be issued as fully registered notes registered in the name of Cede & Co. DTC is:

•

a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law;

•

a “banking organization” under the New York Banking Law;

•

a member of the Federal Reserve System;

•

a “clearing corporation” under the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and

•

a “clearing agency” registered under the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

S-25

DTC holds securities that its direct participants deposit with DTC. DTC facilitates the settlement among direct participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in direct participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates.

Direct participants of DTC include securities brokers and dealers (including the underwriters), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its direct participants. Indirect participants of DTC, such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies, can also access the DTC system if they maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant.

Purchases of notes under DTC’s system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the notes on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each beneficial owner is in turn to be recorded on the records of direct participants and indirect participants. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct participants or indirect participants through which such beneficial owners entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in notes, except as provided below in “—Certificated Debt Securities.”

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all notes deposited with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the notes. DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts such notes are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

Book-Entry Format

Under the book-entry format, the paying agent will pay interest or principal payments to Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. DTC will forward the payment to the direct participants, who will then forward the payment to the indirect participants (including Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear) or to you as the beneficial owner. You may experience some delay in receiving your payments under this system. Neither we, the trustee under the indenture nor any paying agent has any direct responsibility or liability for the payment of principal or interest on the notes to owners of beneficial interests in the notes.

DTC is required to make book-entry transfers on behalf of its direct participants and is required to receive and transmit payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the notes. Any direct participant or indirect participant with which you have an account is similarly required to make book-entry transfers and to receive and transmit payments with respect to the notes on your behalf. We and the trustee under the indenture have no responsibility for any aspect of the actions of DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear or any of their direct or indirect participants. In addition, we and the trustee under the indenture have no responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records kept by DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg, Euroclear or any of their direct or indirect participants relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. We also do not supervise these systems in any way.

The trustee will not recognize you as a holder under the indenture, and you can only exercise the rights of a holder indirectly through DTC and its direct participants. DTC has advised us that it will only take action regarding a note if one or more of the direct participants to whom the note is credited directs DTC to take such

S-26

action and only in respect of the portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which that participant or participants has or have given that direction. DTC can only act on behalf of its direct participants. Your ability to pledge notes to non-direct participants, and to take other actions, may be limited because you will not possess a physical certificate that represents your notes.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the notes unless authorized by a direct participant in accordance with DTC’s procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts the notes are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy).

Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear will credit payments to the cash accounts of Clearstream, Luxembourg customers or Euroclear participants in accordance with the relevant system’s rules and procedures, to the extent received by its depositary. These payments will be subject to tax reporting in accordance with relevant United States tax laws and regulations. Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Euroclear Operator, as the case may be, will take any other action permitted to be taken by a holder under the indenture on behalf of a Clearstream, Luxembourg customer or Euroclear participant only in accordance with its relevant rules and procedures and subject to its depositary’s ability to effect those actions on its behalf through DTC.

DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of the notes among participants of DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear. However, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform those procedures, and they may discontinue those procedures at any time.

Transfers Within and Among Book-Entry Systems

Transfers between DTC’s direct participants will occur in accordance with DTC rules. Transfers between Clearstream, Luxembourg customers and Euroclear participants will occur in accordance with its applicable rules and operating procedures.

DTC will effect cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream, Luxembourg customers or Euroclear participants, on the other hand, in accordance with DTC rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by its depositary. However, cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in that system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, instruct its depositary to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving securities in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Clearstream, Luxembourg customers and Euroclear participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositaries.

Because of time-zone differences, credits of securities received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear resulting from a transaction with a DTC direct participant will be made during the subsequent securities settlement processing, dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. Those credits or any transactions in those securities settled during that processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg customer or Euroclear participant on that business day. Cash received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of sales of securities by or through a Clearstream, Luxembourg customer or a Euroclear participant to a DTC direct participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be avail-able in the relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear cash amount only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.

Although DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of debt securities among their respective participants, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be discontinued at any time.

S-27

Certificated Notes

Unless and until they are exchanged, in whole or in part, for notes in definitive form in accordance with the terms of the notes, the notes may not be transferred except (1) as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC or (2) by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or (3) by DTC or any such nominee to a successor of DTC or a nominee of such successor.

We will issue notes to you or your nominees, in fully certificated registered form, rather than to DTC or its nominees, only if:

•

we advise the trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge its responsibilities properly or that DTC is no longer a registered clearing agency under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the trustee or we are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days;

•

an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture; or

•

we, at our option, elect to terminate the book-entry system through DTC.

If any of the three above events occurs, DTC is required to notify all direct participants that notes in fully certificated registered form are available through DTC. DTC will then surrender the global note representing the notes along with instructions for re-registration. The trustee will re-issue the debt securities in fully certificated registered form and will recognize the registered holders of the certificated debt securities as holders under the indenture.

Unless and until we issue the notes in fully certificated, registered form, (1) you will not be entitled to receive a certificate representing your interest in the notes; (2) all references in this prospectus or an accompanying prospectus supplement to actions by holders will refer to actions taken by the depositary upon instructions from their direct participants; and (3) all references in this prospectus or an accompanying prospectus supplement to payments and notices to holders will refer to payments and notices to the depositary, as the registered holder of the notes, for distribution to you in accordance with its policies and procedures.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the notes included in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all the notes if any of them are purchased.

The underwriters propose to offer the notes to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. The underwriters may offer the notes to selected dealers at the public offering price minus a concession of up to 0.35% of the principal amount. The underwriters may allow, and dealers may re-allow, a concession not to exceed 0.25% of the principal amount to other dealers. After the initial offerings, the underwriters may change the public offering prices and any other selling terms. The underwriters may offer and sell notes through certain of their affiliates.

The following table shows the underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters in connection with this offering (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the notes).


	Paid by Us
Per note	0.600	%

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

The notes are a new issue of securities, and there is currently no established trading market for the notes. We do not intend to apply for the notes to be listed on any securities exchange or to arrange for the notes to be quoted on any quotation system. The underwriters have advised us that they intend to make a market in the notes, but they are not obligated to do so. The underwriters may discontinue any market making in the notes at any time in their sole discretion. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that a liquid trading market will develop for the notes, that you will be able to sell your notes at a particular time or that the prices that you receive when you sell will be favorable.

S-29

We estimate that our total expenses of this offering will be approximately $750,000. Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have performed various financial advisory, investment banking and commercial banking services from time to time for us and our affiliates. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates are lenders and/or agents under our 2007 Credit Facility and/or Bridge Credit Facility. The net proceeds of this offering will be used to repay our $1 billion borrowing under our Bridge Credit Facility. The underwriters have received (or will receive) customary fees and commissions for these transactions. Anne M. Mulcahy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Xerox Corporation, is a Director of Citigroup Inc., the parent company of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. Ann N. Reese, a Director of Xerox Corporation, is a Director of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., the parent company of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated. Because more than 10% of the net proceeds is being paid to affiliates of the underwriters, this offering will comply with NASD Rule 2720(c)(3).

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell the notes in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve syndicate sales of the notes in excess of the amount of notes to be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. The underwriters must close out any short position by purchasing the notes in the open market. A short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the notes in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or purchases of shares in the open market while the offering is in progress.

European Economic Area

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive, each underwriter has represented and agreed that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Member State it has not made and will not make an offer of notes to the public in that Member State, except that it may, with effect from and including such date, make an offer of notes to the public in that Member State:

•

at any time in any other circumstances which do not require the publication by us of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of the above, the expression an “offer of notes to the public” in relation to any notes in any Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the notes, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State and the expression Prospectus Directive means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in that Member State.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless we state differently in a prospectus supplement, we expect to use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement(s) for general corporate purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES

AND CONVERTIBLE DEBT SECURITIES

We may offer unsecured general obligations, which may be senior (the “senior debt securities”) or subordinated (the “subordinated debt securities”). The senior debt securities and the subordinated debt securities are together referred to in this prospectus as the “debt securities.” We also may offer convertible debt securities. The senior debt securities will have the same rank as all our other unsecured, unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities may be senior or junior to, or rank pari passu with, our other subordinated obligations and will be entitled to payment only after payment on our Senior Indebtedness (as described below). The subordinated debt securities will be effectively subordinated to creditors (including trade creditors) and our preferred stockholders and those of our subsidiaries.

The senior debt securities may be issued under the Indenture dated June 25, 2003 between us and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (as successor by merger to Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association), as from time to time supplemented, or may be issued under a senior indenture to be entered into between us and the trustee named in the prospectus supplement. The subordinated debt securities will be issued under a subordinated indenture to be entered into between us and the trustee named in the prospectus supplement. We have summarized certain general features of the debt securities from the indenture. A Form of each of a senior indenture and a subordinated indenture is attached as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The following summary is of certain provisions of the Form of senior indenture and this summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the senior indenture and the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the “TIA”), as amended. If we issue any subordinated debt securities, the description of those securities and the subordinated indenture will be set forth in the related prospectus supplement.

The following description of the terms of the debt securities sets forth certain general terms and provisions. The particular terms of the debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which such general provisions may apply to the debt securities will be described in the related prospectus supplement. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of a particular issue of debt securities, reference must be made to both the related prospectus supplement and to the following description.

General

The aggregate principal amount of debt securities that may be issued under the indenture is unlimited. The debt securities may be issued in one or more series as may be authorized from time to time.

Reference is made to the applicable prospectus supplement for the following terms of the debt securities (if applicable):

•

title and aggregate principal amount;

•

indenture under which the debt securities are issued;

•

applicable subordination provisions, if any;

•

percentage or percentages of principal amount at which such securities will be issued;

•

maturity date(s);

•

interest rate(s) or the method for determining the interest rate(s);

•

dates on which interest will accrue or the method for determining dates on which interest will accrue and dates on which interest will be payable;

•

redemption or early repayment provisions;

•

authorized denominations;

•

form;

•

amount of discount or premium with which such securities will be issued;

•

whether such securities will be issued in whole or in part in the Form of one or more global securities;

•

identity of the depositary for global securities;

•

whether a temporary security is to be issued with respect to such series and whether any interest payable prior to the issuance of definitive securities of the series will be credited to the account of the persons entitled thereto;

•

the terms upon which beneficial interests in a temporary global security may be exchanged in whole or in part for beneficial interests in a definitive global security or for individual definitive securities;

•

conversion or exchange features;

•

any covenants applicable to the particular debt securities being issued;

•

currency, currencies or currency units in which the purchase price for, the principal of and any premium and any interest on, such securities will be payable;

•

time period within which, the manner in which and the terms and conditions upon which the purchaser of the securities can select the payment currency;

•

securities exchange(s) on which the securities will be listed, if any;

•

whether any underwriter(s) will act as market maker(s) for the securities;

•

extent to which a secondary market for the securities is expected to develop;

•

additions to or changes in the events of default with respect to the securities and any change in the right of the trustee or the holders to declare the principal, premium and interest with respect to such securities to be due and payable; and

•

additional terms not inconsistent with the provisions of the indenture.

One or more series of debt securities may be sold at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount, bearing no interest or interest at a rate which at the time of issuance is below market rates. One or more series of debt securities may be variable rate debt securities that may be exchanged for fixed rate debt securities.

United States federal income tax consequences and special considerations applicable to any such series will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Debt securities may be issued where the amount of principal and/or interest payable is determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such securities may receive a principal amount or a payment of interest that is greater than or less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise payable on such dates, depending upon the value of the applicable currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors. Information as to the methods for determining the amount of principal or interest, if any, payable on any date, the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on such date is linked and certain additional United States federal income tax considerations will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The term “debt securities” includes debt securities denominated in U.S. dollars or, if specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, in any other freely transferable currency or units based on or relating to foreign currencies.

We expect most debt securities to be issued in fully registered form without coupons and in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. Subject to the limitations provided in the indenture and in the prospectus supplement, debt securities which are issued in registered form may be transferred or exchanged at the office of the trustee maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or the principal corporate trust office of the trustee, without the payment of any service charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Global Securities

We expect the following provisions to apply to all debt securities.

The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary (the “depositary”) identified in the prospectus supplement. Global securities will be issued in registered form and in either temporary or definitive form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual debt securities, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such depositary or a nominee of such successor.

The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any debt securities of a series and the rights of and limitations upon owners of beneficial interests in a global security will be described in the prospectus supplement. We expect that the following provisions will generally apply to depositary arrangements.

Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary for such global security or its nominee will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the individual debt securities represented by such global security to the accounts of persons that have accounts with such depositary. Such accounts shall be designated by the dealers, underwriters or agents with respect to the debt securities or by us if such debt securities are offered and sold directly by us. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to persons that have accounts with the applicable depositary (“participants”) or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in such global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the applicable depositary or its nominee with respect to interests of participants and the records of participants with respect to interests of persons other than participants. The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security.

So long as the depositary for a global security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a global security, such depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by that global security for all purposes under the indenture governing those debt securities. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have any of the individual debt securities of the series represented by that global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any debt securities of such series in definitive Form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the indenture governing such debt securities.

Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on individual debt securities represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the global security representing the debt securities. None of Xerox, the trustee for the debt securities, any paying agent, or the registrar for the debt securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made by the depositary or any participants on account of beneficial ownership interests of the global security for the debt securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

We expect that the depositary for a series of debt securities or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium or interest in respect of a permanent global security representing the debt securities, immediately will credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such global security for the debt securities as shown on the records of the depositary or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name.” Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.

If the depositary for a series of debt securities is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue definitive debt securities of that series in exchange for the global security or securities representing that series of debt securities. In addition, we may at any time and in our sole discretion, subject to any limitations described in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities, determine not to have any debt securities of a series represented by one or more global securities, and, in such event, will issue definitive debt securities of that series in exchange for the global security or securities representing that series of debt securities. If definitive debt securities are issued, an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security will be entitled to physical delivery of definitive debt securities of the series represented by that global security equal in principal amount to that beneficial interest and to have the debt securities registered in its name. Definitive debt securities of any series so issued will be issued in denominations, unless otherwise specified by us, of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

Events of Default, Notice and Waiver

The following events are defined in the indenture as “Events of Default” with respect to a series of debt securities:

(1) the failure to pay interest on debt securities of such series when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a continuous period of 30 days;

(2) the failure to pay the principal on debt securities of such series, when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including, when applicable to a series of debt securities, the failure to make a payment to purchase debt securities of such series tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer);

(3) a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in the indenture which default continues for a period of 90 days after we receive written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the debt securities of such series (except in the case of a default with respect to the “Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets” covenant, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement); or

(4) certain events of bankruptcy affecting Xerox or any of its Significant Subsidiaries.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (4) above with respect to Xerox) shall occur and be continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of the affected series under the indenture may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the debt securities of such series under the indenture to be due and payable by notice in writing to Xerox and the trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” and the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (4) above with respect to Xerox occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding debt securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder.

The indenture will provide that, at any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to a series of debt securities as described in the preceding paragraph, the holders of a majority in principal amount of debt securities of such series under the indenture may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

(1) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(2) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

(3) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and

(4) if Xerox has paid the trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series under the indenture may waive any existing Default or Event of Default under such series, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any debt securities of such series.

Holders of the debt securities may not enforce the indenture or the debt securities except as provided in the indenture and under the TIA. Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the holders, unless such holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to all provisions of the indenture and applicable law, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of any affected series have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee.

Under the indenture, Xerox is required to provide an officers’ certificate to the trustee promptly upon any such officer obtaining knowledge of any Default or Event of Default (provided that such officers shall provide such certification at least annually whether or not they know of any Default or Event of Default) that has occurred and, if applicable, describe such Default or Event of Default and the status thereof.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

Xerox may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations discharged with respect to any series of the outstanding debt securities (“Legal Defeasance”). Such Legal Defeasance means that Xerox shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such series of outstanding debt securities, except for:

(1) the rights of holders of such series to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such series of debt securities when such payments are due from the trust fund referred to below;

(2) Xerox’s obligations with respect to such series of debt securities concerning issuing temporary debt securities, issuing debt securities to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities and the maintenance of an office or agency for payments;

(3) the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the trustee and Xerox’s obligations in connection therewith; and

(4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the indenture.

In addition, Xerox may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations released with respect to certain covenants (other than, among others, the covenant to make payments in respect of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities) that are described in the indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the applicable series of the debt securities. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including nonpayment, bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization and insolvency events) described under “Events of Default” will no longer constitute Events of Default with respect to the debt securities. We may exercise our Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its Covenant Defeasance option.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(1) We must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust for the benefit of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. government obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the applicable debt securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, we shall have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that:

(a)

Xerox has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

(b)

since the date of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the applicable holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, Xerox shall have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that the applicable holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which Xerox or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Xerox or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(6) Xerox shall have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate stating that the deposit was not made by Xerox with the intent of preferring the holders over any other creditors of Xerox or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of Xerox or others;

(7) Xerox shall have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

(8) certain other customary conditions precedent are satisfied.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the opinion of counsel required by clause (2) above with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all debt securities not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the trustee in the name, and at the expense, of Xerox.

Satisfaction and Discharge

The indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of transfer or exchange of the applicable debt securities, as expressly provided for in the indenture) as to all outstanding debt securities of any series under the indenture when:

(1) either:

(a)

all the debt securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed debt securities which have been replaced or paid and debt securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by Xerox and thereafter repaid to Xerox or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or

(b)

all debt securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable within one year or as a result of a mailing of a notice of redemption and

Xerox has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee cash or non-callable U.S. government obligations or a combination thereof in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on such debt securities not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such debt securities to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from Xerox directing the trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(2) Xerox has paid all other sums payable under the indenture in respect of such debt securities by Xerox; and

(3) Xerox has delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that all conditions precedent under the indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture in respect of such debt securities have been complied with.

Modification of the Indenture

From time to time, Xerox and the trustee, without the consent of the holders of debt securities of any series, may amend the indenture for certain specified purposes, including curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, complying with the covenant described under “—Provisions Applicable Only to Senior Debt Securities—Covenants—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets,” complying with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualifying, or maintaining the qualification of, the indenture under the TIA and making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of such debt securities in any material respect. Other modifications and amendments of the indenture as it applies to a series of debt securities may be made with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of such series, except that, without the consent of each holder affected thereby, no amendment may:

(1) reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment;

(2) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any debt securities;

(3) reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any debt securities, or change the date on which any debt securities may be subject to redemption or reduce the redemption price therefor;

(4) make any debt securities payable in money other than that stated in the debt securities;

(5) make any change in provisions of the indenture protecting the right of each holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such debt securities on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting holders of a majority in principal amount of debt securities to waive Defaults or Events of Default;

(6) modify or change any provision of the indenture or the related definitions affecting the ranking of the debt securities in a manner which adversely affects the holders.

Governing Law

The indenture and the debt securities shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles thereof relating to conflicts of law (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, and any successor statute or statutes).

Convertibility

Debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or preferred stock. The prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any conversion rights.

Provisions Applicable Only To Senior Debt Securities

Ranking

The senior debt securities will be unsecured obligations, and will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of the issuer.

Covenants

Set forth below are summaries of certain covenants contained in the indenture.

Limitation on Liens. Xerox will not create or suffer to exist, or permit any of its Specified Subsidiaries to create or suffer to exist, any Lien, or any other type of preferential arrangement, upon or with respect to any of its properties (other than “margin stock” as that term is defined in Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or assign, or permit any of its Specified Subsidiaries to assign, any right to receive income, in each case to secure any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness described in clauses (5) and (8) of the definition of “Indebtedness” herein) without making effective provision whereby all of the debt securities (together with, Xerox shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of Xerox or such Specified Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created which is not subordinate to the debt securities) shall be equally and ratably secured with the Indebtedness secured by such security (provided that any Lien created for the benefit of the holders of the debt securities pursuant to this sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien that resulted in such provision becoming applicable, unless a Default or Event of Default shall then be continuing); provided, however, that Xerox or its Specified Subsidiaries may create or suffer to exist any Lien or preferential arrangement of any kind in, of or upon any of the properties or assets of Xerox or its Specified Subsidiaries to secure Indebtedness if upon creation of such Lien or arrangement and after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness secured by Liens would not exceed the greater of (i) $2.0 billion and (ii) 20% of the Consolidated Net Worth of Xerox; and provided, further, that the foregoing restrictions or limitations shall not apply to any of the following:

(1) deposits, liens or pledges arising in the ordinary course of business to enable Xerox or any of its Specified Subsidiaries to exercise any privilege or license or to secure payments of workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance, or to secure the performance of bids, tenders, leases, contracts (other than for the payment of borrowed money) or statutory landlords’ liens or to secure public or statutory obligations or surety, stay or appeal bonds, or other similar deposits or pledges made in the ordinary course of business;

(2) Liens imposed by law or other similar Liens, if arising in the ordinary course of business, such as mechanic’s, materialman’s, workman’s, repairman’s or carrier’s liens, or deposits or pledges in the ordinary course of business to obtain the release of such Liens;

(3) Liens arising out of judgments or awards against Xerox or any of its Specified Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding under this clause (3) the greater of (a) 15% of the Consolidated Net Worth of Xerox or (b) the minimum amount which, if subtracted from such Consolidated Net Worth, would reduce such Consolidated Net Worth below $3.2 billion and, in each case, with respect to

which Xerox or such Specified Subsidiary shall in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or proceedings for review, or Liens for the purpose of obtaining a stay or discharge in the course of any legal proceedings;

(4) Liens for taxes if such taxes are not delinquent or thereafter can be paid without penalty, or are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, or minor survey exceptions or minor encumbrances, easements or restrictions which do not in the aggregate materially detract from the value of the property so encumbered or restricted or materially impair their use in the operation of the business of Xerox or any Specified Subsidiary owning such property;

(5) Liens in favor of any government or department or agency thereof or in favor of a prime contractor under a government contract and resulting from the acceptance of progress or partial payments under government contracts or subcontracts thereunder;

(6) Liens existing on December 1, 1991;

(7) purchase money liens or security interests in property acquired or held by Xerox or any Specified Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business to secure the purchase price thereof or Indebtedness incurred to finance the acquisition thereof;

(8) Liens existing on property at the time of its acquisition;

(9) the rights of Xerox Credit Corporation relating to a certain reserve account established pursuant to an operating agreement dated as of November 1, 1980, between Xerox and Xerox Credit Corporation;

(10) the replacement, extension or renewal of any of the foregoing; and

(11) Liens on any assets of any Specified Subsidiary of up to $500.0 million incurred since December 1, 1991 in connection with the sale or assignment of assets of such Specified Subsidiary for cash where the proceeds are applied to repayment of Indebtedness of such Specified Subsidiary and/or invested by such Specified Subsidiary in assets which would be reflected as receivables on the balance sheet of such Specified Subsidiary.

In addition, if after January 17, 2002 any Capital Markets Debt of Xerox or any Restricted Subsidiary becomes secured by a Lien pursuant to any provision similar to the covenant in the immediately preceding paragraph, then, for so long as such Capital Markets Debt of Xerox is secured by such Lien (and provided that any Lien created for the benefit of the holders of the debt securities pursuant to this sentence shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien that resulted in the imposition of the Lien hereunder):

(1) in the case of a Lien securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the debt securities shall be secured by a Lien on the same property as such Lien that is senior in priority to such Lien; and

(2) in all other cases, the debt securities shall be equally and ratably secured by a Lien on the same property as such Lien.

Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets. Xerox will not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of (or cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary of Xerox to sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of) all or substantially all Xerox’s assets (determined on a consolidated basis for Xerox and Xerox’s Restricted Subsidiaries) whether as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any Person unless:

(1) either:

(a)

Xerox shall be the surviving or continuing corporation; or

(b)

the Person (if other than Xerox) formed by such consolidation or into which Xerox is merged or the Person which acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition the properties and assets of Xerox and of Xerox’s Restricted Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety (the “Surviving Entity”):

(x) shall be a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia; and

(y) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture (in Form and substance satisfactory to the trustee), executed and delivered to the trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on all of the debt securities and the performance of every covenant of the debt securities and the indenture on the part of Xerox to be performed or observed;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (1)(b)(y) above, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing; and

(3) Xerox or the Surviving Entity shall have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, comply with the applicable provisions of the indenture and that all conditions precedent in the indenture relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries of Xerox, the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all the properties and assets of Xerox, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all the properties and assets of Xerox.

The indenture will provide that upon any consolidation, combination or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of Xerox in accordance with the foregoing, in which Xerox is not the continuing corporation, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which Xerox is merged or to which such conveyance, lease or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, Xerox under the indenture and the debt securities with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named as such.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xerox need not comply with clause (2) of the first paragraph of this covenant in connection with (x) a sale assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among Xerox and any of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries or (y) any merger of Xerox with or into any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or (z) a merger by Xerox with an Affiliate incorporated or organized solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing Xerox in another jurisdiction.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED STOCK AND

CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

Xerox Preferred Stock

The following is a description of certain general terms and provisions of our preferred stock. The particular terms of any series of preferred stock will be described in a prospectus supplement. The following summary of terms of our preferred stock is not complete. You should refer to the provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the certificate of amendment relating to each series of the preferred stock (the “Certificate of Amendment”), which will be filed with the SEC at or prior to the time of issuance of such series of the preferred stock. We may also offer convertible preferred stock. As of the date of this prospectus, we are authorized to issue up to 22,043,067 shares of cumulative preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share.

Subject to limitations prescribed by law, the Board of Directors is authorized at any time to:

•

issue one or more series of preferred stock;

•

determine the distinctive serial designation for any such series; and

•

determine the number of shares in any such series.

The Board of Directors is authorized to determine, for each series of preferred stock, and the applicable prospectus supplement will set forth with respect to such series, the following information:

•

the dividend rate (or method for determining the rate);

•

any liquidation preference per share of that series of preferred stock;

•

any conversion or exchange provisions applicable to that series of preferred stock;

•

any redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to that series of preferred stock;

•

any voting rights of that series of preferred stock in addition to those specified in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation; and

•

the terms of any other preferences or rights applicable to that series of preferred stock.

Dividends

Holders of preferred stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, cash dividends at the rates and on the dates as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as set forth below, no dividends will be declared or paid on any series of preferred stock unless full dividends for all series of preferred stock (including cumulative dividends still owing, if any) have been or contemporaneously are declared and a sum sufficient to pay such dividends has been set apart or has been paid. When those dividends are not paid in full, the shares of all series of preferred stock will share ratably in the payment of dividends, in accordance with the sums that would be payable on those shares if all dividends were declared and paid in full. In addition, generally, unless all dividends on the preferred stock have been declared and a sum sufficient to pay such dividends has been set apart or has been paid, no dividends will be declared or paid on the common stock and generally we may not redeem or purchase any common stock.

The Indentures, dated as of January 17, 2002 (pursuant to which our 9-³/4% Senior Notes due 2009 were issued), June 25, 2003 (pursuant to which our 7-¹/8% Senior Notes due 2010 and 7-⁵/8% Senior Notes due 2013 were issued) and August 10, 2004 (pursuant to which our 6-⁷/8 % Senior Notes due 2011 were issued) (the “Senior Note Indentures”), contain covenants that restrict our ability to pay dividends on preferred stock under certain circumstances that include the occurrence and continuation of any default or event of default (as defined therein) under the Senior Note Indentures, respectively.

Convertibility

Shares of preferred stock may be convertible or exchangeable into another series of our preferred stock, our common stock, or other securities. The Certificate of Amendment and the prospectus supplement relating to each series of convertible preferred stock, if any, will describe those conversion rights.

Redemption And Sinking Fund

No series of preferred stock will be redeemable or receive the benefit of a sinking fund except as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Liquidation

In the event we voluntarily or involuntarily liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs, the holders of each series of preferred stock will be entitled to receive the liquidation preference per share specified in the prospectus supplement plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, before any distribution to the holders of common stock. If the amounts payable with respect to preferred stock are not paid in full, the holders of preferred stock will share ratably in any distribution of assets based upon the aggregate liquidation preference for all outstanding shares for each series. After the holders of shares of preferred stock are paid in full, they will have no right or claim to any of our remaining assets.

Voting

Except as indicated below or in the prospectus supplement, the holders of preferred stock will not be entitled to vote. If the equivalent of six quarterly dividends payable on any series of preferred stock is in default, whether or not consecutive, the number of directors constituting our Board of Directors will be increased by two and the holders of such series of preferred stock, voting together as a class with all other series of preferred stock entitled to vote on such election of directors, will be entitled to elect those additional directors. In the event of such a default, any holder of preferred stock may request that we call a special meeting of the holders of preferred stock for the purpose of electing the additional directors and we must call such meeting within 20 days of request. If we fail to call such a meeting upon request, then any holder of preferred stock can call a meeting. If all accumulated dividends on any series of preferred stock have been paid in full, the holders of shares of such series will no longer have the right to vote on directors and the term of office of each director so elected will terminate and the number of our directors will, without further action, be reduced by two.

The vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of each series of preferred stock voting together as a class, is required to authorize any amendment, alteration or repeal of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any Certificate of Amendment or our By-Laws which would adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the preferred stock or any holder thereof.

Miscellaneous

The holders of preferred stock will have no preemptive rights. All our issued and outstanding preferred stock is fully paid and non-assessable. The shares of preferred stock offered, when issued, will also be fully paid and nonassessable. Shares of preferred stock that we redeem or otherwise reacquire will resume the status of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock undesignated as to series, and will be available for subsequent issuance. We may not repurchase or redeem less than all the preferred stock, pursuant to a sinking fund or otherwise, while there are any dividends in arrears on the preferred stock. Neither the par value nor the liquidation preference is indicative of the price at which the preferred stock will actually trade on or after the date of issuance. Payment of dividends on any series of preferred stock may be restricted by loan agreements, indenture and other transactions we may enter into.

No Other Rights

The shares of a series of preferred stock will not have any preferences, voting powers or relative, participating, optional or other special rights except as set forth above or in the applicable prospectus supplement, our Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Certificate of Amendment or as otherwise required by law.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for each series of preferred stock will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement will contain the material terms and conditions for each securities purchase contract and securities purchase unit. The accompanying prospectus supplement may add, update or change the terms and conditions of the securities purchase contracts and securities purchase units as described in this prospectus.

Stock Purchase Contract and Stock Purchase Units

We may issue stock purchase contracts, representing contracts obligating holders to purchase from us, and obligating us to sell to the holders, a specified number of shares of common stock or preferred stock at a future date or dates, or a variable number of shares of common stock or preferred stock for a stated amount of consideration. The price per share and the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock may be fixed at the time the stock purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specified formula set forth in the stock purchase contracts. Any such formula may include anti-dilution provisions to adjust the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock issuable pursuant to the stock purchase contracts upon certain events.

The stock purchase contracts may be issued separately or as a part of units consisting of a stock purchase contract and, as security for the holder’s obligations to purchase the shares under the stock purchase contracts, either (a) our senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities or, (b) our debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. Treasury securities. The stock purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the stock purchase units or vice versa, and such payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis. The stock purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations in a specified manner and in certain circumstances we may deliver newly issued prepaid stock purchase contracts upon release to a holder of any collateral securing such holder’s obligations under the original stock purchase contract.

Debt Purchase Contracts and Debt Purchase Units

We may issue debt purchase contracts, representing contracts obligating holders to purchase from us, and obligating us to sell to the holders, a specified principal amount of debt securities at a future date or dates. The purchase price and the interest rate may be fixed at the time the debt purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula set forth in the debt purchase contracts.

The debt purchase contracts may be issued separately or as a part of units consisting of a debt purchase contracts and, as security for the holder’s obligations to purchase the securities under the debt purchase contracts, either (a) our senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities or (b) our debt obligations of third parties,

The description in the prospectus supplement will not purport to be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to (a) the purchase contracts, (b) the collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements, if applicable, relating to such purchase contracts or purchase units and (c) if applicable, the prepaid purchase contracts and the document pursuant to which such prepaid purchase contracts will be issued. Material United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the purchase contracts and the purchase units will also be discussed in the prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES

This section describes the general terms of the depositary shares Xerox may offer and sell by this prospectus. This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement will contain the material terms and conditions for the depositary shares. The accompanying prospectus supplement may add, update, or change the terms and conditions of the depositary shares as described in this prospectus.

General

We may, at our option, elect to offer depositary shares, each representing a fraction (to be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of preferred stock) of a share of a particular class or series of preferred stock as described below. In the event we elect to do so, depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares will be issued to the public.

The shares of any class or series of preferred stock represented by depositary shares will be deposited under a deposit agreement among us, a depositary selected by us and the holders of the depositary receipts. The depositary will be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of preferred stock represented by such depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the shares of preferred stock represented by the depositary share, including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights. The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the deposit agreement. Depositary receipts will be distributed to those persons purchasing the fractional shares of the related class or series of preferred shares in accordance with the terms of the offering described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Pending the preparation of definitive depositary receipts the depositary may, upon our written order, issue temporary depositary receipts substantially identical to, and entitling the holders thereof to all the rights pertaining to, the definitive depositary receipts but not in definitive form. Definitive depositary receipts will be prepared without unreasonable delay, and temporary depositary receipts will be exchangeable for definitive depositary receipts without charge to the holder.

Dividends and Other Distributions

The depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions received for the preferred stock to the entitled record holders of depositary shares in proportion to the number of depositary shares that the holder owns on the relevant record date, provided, however, that if we or the depositary is required by law to withhold an amount on account of taxes, then the amount distributed to the holders of depositary shares shall be reduced accordingly. The depositary will distribute only an amount that can be distributed without attributing to any

holder of depositary shares a fraction of one cent. The depositary will add the undistributed balance to and treat it as part of the next sum received by the depositary for distribution to holders of the depositary shares.

If there is a non-cash distribution, the depositary will distribute property received by it to the entitled record holders of depositary shares, in proportion, insofar as possible, to the number of depositary shares owned by the holders, unless the depositary determines, after consultation with us, that it is not feasible to make such distribution. If this occurs, the depositary may, with our approval, sell such property and distribute the net proceeds from such sale to the holders. The deposit agreement also will contain provisions relating to how any subscription or similar rights that we may offer to holders of the preferred stock will be available to the holders of the depositary shares.

The Senior Note Indentures contain covenants that restrict our ability to pay dividends on preferred stock under certain circumstances that include the occurrence and continuation of any default or event of default (as defined therein) under the Senior Note Indentures.

Withdrawal of Shares

Upon surrender of the depositary receipts at the corporate trust office of the depositary unless the related depositary shares have previously been called for redemption, converted or exchanged into our other securities, the holder of the depositary shares evidenced thereby is entitled to delivery of the number of whole shares of the related class or series of preferred stock and any money or other property represented by such depositary shares. Holders of depositary receipts will be entitled to receive whole shares of the related class or series of preferred stock on the basis set forth in the prospectus supplement for such class or series of preferred stock, but holders of such whole shares of preferred stock will not thereafter be entitled to exchange them for depositary shares. If the depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the number of depositary shares representing the number of whole shares of preferred stock to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to such holder at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing such excess number of depositary shares. In no event will fractional shares of preferred stock be delivered upon surrender of depositary receipts to the depositary.

Conversion, Exchange and Redemption

If any class or series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares may be converted or exchanged, each record holder of depositary receipts representing the shares of preferred stock being converted or exchanged will have the right or obligation to convert or exchange the depositary shares represented by the depositary receipts. Whenever we redeem or convert shares of preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem or convert, at the same time, the number of depositary shares representing the preferred stock to be redeemed or converted. The depositary will redeem the depositary shares from the proceeds it receives from the corresponding redemption of the applicable series of preferred stock. The depositary will mail notice of redemption or conversion to the record holders of the depositary shares that are to be redeemed between 30 and 60 days before the date fixed for redemption or conversion. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per share on the applicable class or series of preferred stock. If less than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary will select which shares are to be redeemed by lot on a pro rata basis or by any other equitable method as the depositary may decide. After the redemption or conversion date, the depositary shares called for redemption or conversion will no longer be outstanding. When the depositary shares are no longer outstanding, all rights of the holders will end, except the right to receive money, securities or other property payable upon redemption or conversion.

Voting the Preferred Stock

When the depositary receives notice of a meeting at which the holders of the particular class or series of preferred stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the particulars of the meeting to the record holders of the depositary shares. Each record holder of depositary shares on the record date may instruct the depositary on how to vote the shares of preferred stock underlying the holder’s depositary shares. The depositary will try, if practical,

to vote the number of shares of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares according to the instructions. We will agree to take all reasonable action requested by the depositary to enable it to vote as instructed.

Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement

We and the depositary may agree at any time to amend the deposit agreement and the depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares. Any amendment that (a) imposes or increases certain fees, taxes or other charges payable by the holders of the depositary shares as described in the deposit agreement that (b) otherwise materially adversely affects any substantial existing rights of holders of depositary shares, will not take effect until such amendment is approved by the holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares then outstanding. Any holder of depositary shares that continue to hold its shares after such amendment has become effective will be deemed to have agreed to the amendment.

We may direct the depositary to terminate the deposit agreement by mailing a notice of termination of holders of depositary shares at least 30 days prior to termination. The depositary may terminate the deposit agreement if 90 days have elapsed after the depositary delivered written notice of its election to resign and a successor depositary is not appointed. In addition, the deposit agreement will automatically terminate if:

•

the depositary has redeemed all related outstanding depositary shares;

•

all outstanding shares of preferred stock have been converted into or exchanged for common stock; or

•

we have liquidated, terminated or wound up our business and the depositary has distributed the preferred stock of the relevant series to the holders of the related depositary shares.

Reports and Obligations

The depositary will forward to the holders of depositary shares all reports and communications from us that are delivered to the depositary and that we are required by law, the rules of an applicable securities exchange or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to furnish to the holders of the preferred stock. Neither we nor the depositary will be liable if the depositary is prevented or delayed by law or any circumstances beyond its control in performing its obligations under the deposit agreement. The deposit agreement limits our obligations to performance in good faith of the duties stated in the deposit agreement. The depositary assumes no obligation and will not be subject to liability under the deposit agreement except to perform such obligations as are set forth in the deposit agreement without negligence or bad faith. Neither we nor the depositary will be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding connected with any depositary shares or class or series of preferred stock unless the holders of depositary shares requesting us to do so furnish us with a satisfactory indemnity. In performing our obligations, we and the depositary may rely and act upon the advice of our counsel on any information provided to us by a person presenting shares for deposit, any holder of a receipt, or any other document believed by us or the depositary to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

Payment of Fees and Expenses

We will pay all fees, charges and expenses of the depositary, including the initial deposit of the preferred stock and any redemption of the preferred stock. Holders of depositary shares will pay taxes and governmental charges and any other charges as are stated in the deposit agreement for their accounts.

Resignation and Removal of Depositary

At any time, the depositary may resign by delivering notice to us, and we may remove the depositary at any time. Resignations or removals will take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of the appointment. The successor depositary must be appointed within 90 days after the delivery of the notice of resignation or removal and must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We and our respective agents and underwriters, may offer and sell the securities at a fixed price or prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The securities may be offered on an exchange, which will be disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may, from time to time, authorize dealers, acting as our agents, to offer and sell the securities upon such terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If we use underwriters to sell securities, we will enter into an underwriting agreement with them at the time of the sale to them. In connection with the sale of the securities, underwriters may receive compensation from us in the Form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agent. Any underwriting compensation paid by us to underwriters or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement to the extent required by applicable law. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the Form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions (which may be changed from time to time) from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents.

Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase debt securities as a principal, and may then resell the debt securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.

If so indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain specified institutions to purchase offered securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. Such contracts will be subject to any conditions set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts. The underwriters and other persons soliciting such contracts will have no responsibility for the validity or performance of any such contracts.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled under agreements entered into with us to indemnification against and contribution towards certain civil liabilities, including any liabilities under the Securities Act.

We may enter into derivative or other hedging transactions with financial institutions. These institutions may in turn engage in sales of our common stock to hedge their position, deliver this prospectus in connection with some or all of those sales and use the shares covered by this prospectus to close out any short position created in connection with those sales.

To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of the securities. These may include over-allotment, stabilization, syndicate short covering transactions and penalty bids. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Syndicate short covering transactions involve purchases of securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim selling concessions from dealers when the securities originally sold by the dealers are purchased in covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions. These transactions may cause the price of the securities sold in an offering to be higher than it would otherwise be. These transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time.

Any securities, other than our common stock issued hereunder, may be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters, or agents to or through whom such securities are sold for public offering and sale, may make a market in such securities, but such underwriters or agents will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any such securities. The amount of expenses expected to be incurred by us in connection with any issuance of securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Certain of the underwriters, dealers or agents and their associates may engage in transactions with, and perform services for, us and certain of our affiliates and in the ordinary course of our business.

The broker dealers, if any, acting in connection with these sales might be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any commission they receive and any profit upon the resale of the securities might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

During such time as we may be engaged in a distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus we are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes us, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in such distributing from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also restricts bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our common stock.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that Xerox Corporation (the “Company”) has filed with the SEC utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may, from time to time over approximately the next three years, sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. References to “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Xerox Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with additional information described below under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

You should rely only on the information provided in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement including the information incorporated by reference. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. We are not offering the securities in any state where the offer is not permitted. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus, or any supplement to this prospectus, is accurate at any date other than the date indicated on the cover page of the documents.

Any statement made in this prospectus or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus to the extent that a statement contained in this prospectus or in any other subsequently filed document that is also incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus modifies or supersedes that statement. Any statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus. See “Incorporation of Certain Documents By Reference.”

MARKET SHARE, RANKING AND OTHER DATA

The market share, ranking and other data contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus are based either on management’s own estimates, independent industry publications, reports by market research firms or other published independent sources and, in each case, are believed by management to be reasonable estimates. However, market share data is subject to change and cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey of market shares. In addition, consumption patterns and consumer preferences can and do change. As a result, you should be aware that market share, ranking and other similar data set forth herein, and estimates and beliefs based on such data, may not be reliable.
