THE SECURITIES WE MAY OFFER

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be added to the general funds of the Company and will be used for general corporate purposes. The amount of such net proceeds cannot be determined at this time, since it will depend upon the market price of the shares of Common Stock at the time the shares of Common Stock covered hereby are sold to XCI.


Table of Contents

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

On November 15, 1989, the shareholders of XCI approved an amendment to the Articles of XCI whereby the conditions of its Common Shares would be amended to redesignate such shares as Non-Voting Exchangeable Class B Shares (“XCI Exchangeable Shares”) and to entitle the holders thereof to elect to exchange such shares for shares of Xerox Common Stock at the exchange rate of one XCI Exchangeable Share for two shares of Xerox Common Stock, as adjusted for any subdivision, reduction, combination or consolidation thereof (the “Exchangeable Share Proposal”).

The Xerox Board of Directors has authorized the proper officers of Xerox to from time to time issue and deliver to XCI, in connection with the Exchangeable Share Proposal, shares of Common Stock not to exceed a total of three million shares, as adjusted for any subdivision, reduction, combination, consolidation thereof, for a cash consideration equal to the then current market price, but not less than the par value of such shares. XCI may purchase such shares of Common Stock from Xerox to satisfy requests for exchange of XCI Exchangeable Shares for shares of Common Stock. This Prospectus relates to such shares of Common Stock.

Item 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of the securities registered hereby are being made, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”); (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement, provided, however, that clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

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

EX-5.A 2 dex5a.htm OPINION OF DON H. LIU, ESQ., AS TO THE LEGALITY OF THE COMMON STOCK Opinion of Don H. Liu, Esq., as to the legality of the Common Stock

Exhibit (5)(a)

November 26, 2008

Xerox Corporation Registration Statement on Form S-3

Xerox Corporation

45 Glover Avenue

Norwalk, CT 06856

Ladies and Gentlemen:

As General Counsel to Xerox Corporation, a New York corporation (the “Company”), I am familiar with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company (as defined below) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on November 26, 2008 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement relates to the registration, pursuant to Rule 415 of the General Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, of up to 1,800,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, par value $1 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company.

The Shares may be offered and sold by the Company from time to time at then current market prices to the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, Xerox Canada Inc., a Canadian corporation (“XCI”), to fulfill XCI’s obligations to deliver such Shares upon the exchange of Non-Voting Exchangeable Class B Shares of XCI (“XCI Exchangeable Shares”) by the holders thereof for shares of Common Stock.

This opinion is delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.


In rendering the opinions set forth herein, I or other attorneys of the Company who report directly or indirectly to me have examined and relied on originals or copies of the following:

 

  (i) the Registration Statement;

 

  (ii) the Agreement dated as of February 14, 1990, as amended by the Amending Agreement dated as of January 1, 1996, between the Company and XCI, pursuant to which the Shares may be issued and sold by the Company to XCI;

 

  (iii) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, and certified by the Secretary of State of the State of New York as being currently in effect (the “Certificate of Incorporation”);

 

  (iv) the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company as currently in effect (the “By-Laws”); and

 

  (v) certain resolutions adopted to date by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”).

I or other attorneys of the Company who report directly or indirectly to me have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents as I have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below.

In my examination, I have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. In making my examination of executed documents or documents to be executed, I have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had or will have the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and the execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that I did not independently establish or verify, I have relied on statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company, of public officials and others.

My opinions set forth herein are limited to those laws of the State of New York and the United States of America, in each case, that, in my experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Registration Statement and to the extent that judicial or regulatory orders or decrees or consents, approvals, licenses, authorizations, validations, filings, recordings or registrations with governmental authorities are relevant, to those required under such laws (all of the foregoing being referred to as “Opined on Law”).
