The grant will occur on the next quarterly grant date following your date of hire and the actual number of RSUs will be based on the closing price of Xerox common stock on the grant date (value divided by stock price).

Financial Planning assistance up to $10,000 every two years

You will receive communications on these topics directly from the Secretary of the Company.

You are also eligible for a severance arrangement if your employment is terminated by Xerox for any reason (other than for cause) as defined herein. Severance benefits will be the equivalent of twelve months of your annual base salary and paid in accordance with our regularly scheduled payroll. In addition, subject to Board approval, you will be provided with a change-in-control agreement that provides for certain payments in the event of involuntary termination not for cause following the occurrence of a change-in-control. The payment of any severance benefits will be contingent upon your execution of both a general release of all claims and an agreement not to engage in detrimental activity as determined by the Company upon your termination.

You will be expected to sign a company provided non-compete/non-solicitation agreement as a condition of your employment. In addition, your role has a requirement to accumulate and maintain a target ownership level in Xerox stock of three times base salary.

When eligible, under this plan, you may defer 3% of your applicable compensation in excess of the IRS limit, which will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

Xerox respects and expects you to honor all of your obligations to your current and former employers. Should you accept this offer of employment, Xerox directs you not to use or disclose any confidential or proprietary information of any former employer in the course of your duties to Xerox. If you accept the offer and begin work at Xerox, and at any time, you feel you would need to use confidential information of a prior employer to perform your Xerox job duties, please notify the Xerox General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. Your Xerox job duties will be revised appropriately.

We look forward to your acceptance of this offer; we believe that you will make significant contributions to the Corporation. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Darrell Ford.
