PART I

Item 1. Business

Overview

LOGO

References in this section to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Xerox” refer to Xerox Corporation and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically states or implies otherwise.

The document industry is transitioning to digital systems, to color, and to an increased reliance on electronic documents. More and more, businesses are creating and storing documents digitally and using the Internet to exchange electronic documents. We believe these trends play to the strengths of our product and service offerings and represent opportunities for future growth in the $125 billion market we serve.

In our core markets of Production and Office, we are well-positioned to lead in this large and growing market through our four growth planks:

 

 

Accelerate the adoption of color

 

 

Lead with services in large enterprises

 

 

Drive the New Business of Printing®

 

 

Expand participation in small/mid-size business market

LOGO

Color is the fastest growing portion of our market, and we estimate that it represents $27 billion of the market opportunity. Economic and quality improvements in color are driving the market transition to color. We have the broadest color portfolio in the industry and our leading technologies, such as solid ink, position us well to participate in this transition and accelerate the adoption of color. At the same time, we continue to compete to capture growth opportunities within the black-and-white segment of our core markets, which we estimate is a $58 billion market.

We are growing our core markets by leading with document management services (also referred to as Xerox Global Services), which is the combination of managed services and value-added services. We have organized our document management services around three offerings:

1) Xerox Office Services, where we help our customers reduce costs and improve productivity by optimizing their global print infrastructure through analyzing the most efficient ways to create and share documents in the office;

2) Document Outsourcing and Communication Services, which focuses on optimizing the production environment as well as operating in-house production centers; and

3) Business Process Services, where we show our customers how to use digital workflow to re-engineer their business processes and develop online document repositories.

We are creating new market opportunities with digital printing as a complement to traditional offset printing through a market transition we call “The New Business of Printing”. We are driving the New Business of Printing opportunity by identifying applications which are suitable for digital production and represent what we refer to as the “eligible offset” market. With our leading business development tools, workflow and digital technology, led by our market-making Xerox iGen3® technology, we are uniquely positioned to meet the increasing demand for short-run, customized and quick-turnaround offset quality printing.

Over the past year we have scaled up our presence in the small and mid-size business (SMB) market, most notably through our acquisition of Global Imaging Systems, Inc. (GIS). This

increased distribution capacity, along with a strong product portfolio in this segment, is expanding our participation in SMB and opening up new growth opportunities.

Our products include high-end printing and publishing systems; digital multifunctional devices (MFDs) which can print, copy, scan and fax; digital copiers; laser and solid ink printers; fax machines; document-management software; and supplies such as toner, paper and ink. We provide software and workflow solutions with which businesses can easily and affordably print books, create personalized documents for their customers, and scan and route digital information.

Our business model is an annuity model where post sale and financing revenue growth is driven by increasing equipment installations which increases the number of page producing machines in the field (MIF) and expanding the document management services we offer our customers. 72% of our 2007 total revenue was post sale and financing revenue that includes equipment maintenance and consumable supplies, among other elements. We sell the majority of our equipment through sales-type leases that we record as equipment sale revenue. Equipment sales represented 28% of our 2007 total revenue.

LOGO

The number of equipment installations is a key indicator of post sale and financing revenue trends as is the growth in document management services. The mix of color pages is another significant indicator of post sale revenue trends because color pages use more consumables per page than black-and-white. In addition, expanding our market, particularly within the eligible offset market, is key to increasing pages and we have leading tools and resources to develop this large market opportunity.

Acquisitions

LOGO

To further our business goals, in 2007 we completed the acquisitions of GIS, a provider of office technology for small and mid-size businesses in the United States, and Advectis, Inc. (Advectis), a provider of a web-based solution that electronically manages the process to underwrite, audit, collaborate, deliver and archive mortgage loan documents. GIS focuses on the SMB market through 22 regional core companies in the U.S. that sell and service document management systems. With the GIS acquisition, we increased our distribution capacity in the SMB market in the U.S. by approximately 50%, where the total opportunity for document-related offerings is estimated at $16 billion. GIS currently serves about 200,000 customers with about 1,400 sales representatives and 1,700 service technicians. Since acquiring GIS, they acquired four additional companies in 2007, further expanding our distribution. In addition, as of the fourth quarter of 2007, roughly half of GIS equipment available for sale was Xerox equipment compared to none a year ago.

Advectis’ web-based BlitzDocs Collaboration Suite helps users reduce costs associated with the lending process, deliver better services, decrease credit risk and build a competitive advantage in capturing new loan applications. Advectis, now branded Xerox Mortgage Services, similar to our acquisition last year of Amici, expands our business process services capabilities into yet another vertical document intensive area.

Segment Information

Our reportable segments are Production, Office, Developing Markets Operations (DMO), and Other. We present operating segment financial information in Note 2-Segment Reporting in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which we incorporate by reference here. We have a very broad and diverse base of customers, both geographically and demographically, ranging from SMB to graphic communications companies, governmental entities, educational institutions and large (Fortune 1,000) corporate accounts. None of our business segments depends upon a single customer, or a few customers, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Beginning in 2008, we will not report DMO results in a separate segment, but will include their results within our Office, Production and Other segments. More details on this change are included on page 17 within the Segment Reporting Change section of the Management Discussion and Analysis in our 2007 Annual Report.

Production

We provide high-end digital monochrome and color systems designed for customers in the graphic communications industry and for large enterprises. These high-end devices enable digital on-demand printing, digital full-color printing, and enterprise printing. We are the only manufacturer in the market that offers a complete family of cut sheet monochrome production systems from 65 to 288 pages per minute (ppm), color production systems from 40 to 110 ppm, and a complete line of continuous feed printers from 250 to 1,064 ppm. In addition, we offer a variety of pre-press and post-press options and the industry’s broadest set of workflow software.

With our Freeflow™ digital workflow collection, our customers can improve all aspects of their processes, from content creation and management to production and fulfillment. Our digital technology, combined with total document solutions and services that enable personalization and printing on demand, delivers value that improves our customers’ business results.

Our 2007 Production Goals

Our 2007 goals for our Production segment were to continue strengthening our leadership position in monochrome and color and to build on the power of digital printing in the eligible offset market. Our “New Business of Printing” strategy complements the traditional offset market and continues to transform our industry. We are enabling print providers in graphic communications and large enterprises to profit and grow by meeting their customers’ specific business needs with just-in-time, one-to-one and e-based services – rather than simply manufacturing a printed piece. Having the right business model, the right workflow, and the right technology are fundamental to this transformation.

In 2007 we launched an application-focused program to assist our customers implement solutions in four major categories. The “Can Do” program provides our customers live end-to-end applications for: Collaterals by Request, Books, Transactional/Promotional and Direct Mail.

We continued to increase installations of our flagship Digital Color Production Presses. In April 2007, according to estimates by InfoTrends, a leading independent research firm, Xerox’s installed base of DocuColor and iGen3 presses accounted for approximately 50 percent of the total worldwide page volume printed by high speed production color printers. We are the industry leader in the number of pages produced on digital production color presses, with our flagship Xerox iGen3 Digital Production Press and DocuColor® Digital Presses.

In 2007, we continued to build on our unmatched product breadth, world class market and business development tools and integrated end-to-end applications. Below are some of the key accomplishments that enabled us to reach our goals:

With scanning speeds up to 100 ppm and print and copy speeds up to 95 ppm, this system is a true workhorse for high-volume environments such as office workgroups, and educational and financial institutions. The Xerox 4595 is also available with the light-production finisher for a full range of output choices.

 

 

Extensible Interface Platform - Announced in October 2006, Xerox’s Extensible Interface Platform (EIP) is a software platform developers can use to create server-based applications for multifunction devices and that can be configured for the MFD’s touch-screen user interface. Using this interface, workers can enter a password or use a secure smart card at the MFD and access a set of features and options designed specifically for their business needs. A wide range of document management and workflow software has already been developed by Xerox and its Alliance Partners to help organizations manage costs, boost productivity and improve efficiency. In 2007, Xerox expanded the worldwide implementation of this platform including it on all major workgroup and departmental MFD introductions.

DMO

DMO includes the marketing, sales and servicing of Xerox products, supplies, and services in Latin America, Brazil, the Middle East, India, Eurasia and Central-Eastern Europe and Africa. In countries with developing economies, DMO manages the Xerox business through operating companies, subsidiaries, joint ventures, product distributors, affiliates, concessionaires, value-added resellers and dealers. Our two-tiered distribution model has proven very successful in the high-growth geographies of Russia and Central-Eastern Europe. Our 2007 DMO goals included revenue growth, a continued focus on improving the entire cost base and providing a foundation for profitable growth.

Other

The Other segment primarily includes revenue from paper sales, value-added services, wide-format systems and GIS network integration solutions and electronic presentation systems.

We sell cut-sheet paper to our customers for use in their document processing products. The market for cut-sheet paper is highly competitive and revenues are significantly affected by pricing. Our strategy is to charge a premium over mill wholesale prices, which is adequate to cover our costs and the value we add as a distributor, as well as to provide unique products that enhance the “New Business of Printing” and color output.

An increasingly important part of our offering is value-added services, which uses our document industry knowledge and experience. Our value-added services deliver solutions that optimize our customers’ document output and infrastructure costs while streamlining, simplifying, and digitizing their document-intensive business processes. In October 2007, we acquired Advectis, a provider of a web-based solution that electronically manages the process to underwrite, audit, collaborate, deliver and archive mortgage loan documents. In July 2006 we acquired Amici, a provider of web-based electronic discovery (E-discovery) services, primarily supporting litigation and regulatory compliance. Often our value-added services solutions lead to larger managed services contracts which include our equipment, supplies, service, and labor. We report the revenue from managed services contracts in the Production, Office, or DMO segments. In 2007, the combined value-added services and managed services revenue, including equipment, totaled $3.8 billion.

In our wide-format systems business, we offer document processing products and devices designed to reproduce large engineering and architectural drawings up to three feet by four feet in size.

Revenue

LOGO

We sell the majority of our products and services under bundled lease arrangements, in which our customers pay a monthly amount for the equipment, maintenance, services, supplies and financing over the course of the lease agreement. These arrangements are beneficial to our customers and us since, in addition to customers receiving a bundled offering, these arrangements allow us to maintain the customer relationship for future sales of equipment and services.

We analyze these arrangements to determine whether the equipment component meets certain accounting requirements such that the equipment fair value should be recorded as a sale at lease inception, that is, a sales-type lease. We allocate the remaining portion of the monthly minimum payments to the various elements of the lease based on fair value - service, maintenance, supplies and financing - that we generally recognize over the term of the lease agreement, and that we report as “post sale and other revenue” and “finance income” revenue. In those arrangements that do not qualify as sales-type leases, which have increased as a result of our services-led strategy, we recognize the entire monthly payment over the term of the lease agreement, whether rental or operating lease, and report it in “post sale and other revenue.” Our accounting policies for revenue recognition for leases and bundled arrangements are included in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2007 Annual Report.

Research and Development

Investment in R&D is critical for competitiveness in Xerox’s fast-paced markets where more than two-thirds of our equipment sales are from products launched during the past two years.

Xerox’s R&D drives innovation and customer value by:

 

 

Creating new differentiated products and services.

 

 

Enabling cost competitiveness through disruptive products and services.

 

 

Enabling new ways to serve customers.

 

 

Creating new business opportunities to drive future growth by reaching new customers.

LOGO

To ensure our success, we have aligned our R&D investment portfolio with our strategic planks: accelerating the color transition, driving the “New Business of Printing®”, enhancing customer value by leading with services and expanding our participation in the SMB market. 2007 R&D spending focused primarily on the development of high-end business applications to drive the “New Business of Printing®”, extending our color capabilities, expanding our services offerings and delivering lower-cost platforms and customer productivity enablers. The Xerox iGen3, an advanced next-generation digital printing press that produces photographic-quality prints indistinguishable from offset, the Xerox Nuvera 288 Digital Perfecting System that boasts the fastest (288 duplex impressions per minute) digital duplex monochrome cut-sheet printer in the industry and Xerox’s proprietary Solid Ink technology for the office are examples of the type of breakthrough technology we developed and that we expect will drive future growth. Sustaining engineering expenses, which are the hardware engineering and software development costs we incur after we launch a product are included in our R,D&E expenses. We are incorporating by reference the amounts spent for research, development and engineering for 2007, 2006 and 2005 that are included in Note 1–Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2007 Annual Report.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

We are a technology company. Including our Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) subsidiary, we were awarded 584 U.S. utility patents in 2007. We were ranked 33rd on the list of companies that were awarded the most U.S. patents during the year and would have been ranked 27th with the inclusion of PARC patents. Including our research partner, Fuji Xerox Co., Limited, we were awarded over 900 U.S. utility patents in 2007. Our patent portfolio evolves as new patents are awarded to us and as older patents expire. As of December 31, 2007, we held approximately 8,600 design and utility U.S. patents. These patents expire at various dates up to 20 years or more from their original filing dates. While we believe that our portfolio of patents and applications has value, in general no single patent is essential to our business or any individual segment. In addition, any of our proprietary rights could be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented or may not provide significant competitive advantages.

In the U.S., we are party to numerous patent-licensing agreements and, in a majority of them, we license or assign our patents to others, in return for revenue and/or access to their patents. Most of the patent licenses expire concurrently with the expiration of the last patent identified in the license. In 2007, including our PARC subsidiary, we added 9 agreements to our portfolio of patent licensing agreements, and either we or our PARC subsidiary was a licensor in 7 of the agreements. We also have a number of cross-licensing agreements with companies with substantial patent portfolios, including Canon, Microsoft, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Océ and Sharp. Those agreements vary in subject matter, scope, compensation, significance and time.

In the U.S., we own approximately 550 trademarks, either registered or applied for. These trademarks have a perpetual life, subject to renewal every ten years. We vigorously enforce and protect our trademarks.

Competition

Although we encounter aggressive competition in all areas of our business, we are the leader or among the leaders in each of our principal business segments. Our competitors range from large international companies to relatively small firms. We compete primarily on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand, distribution, and customer service and support. To remain competitive we invest in and develop new products and services and continually improve our existing offerings. Our key competitors include Canon, Ricoh, IKON, Hewlett-Packard, and, in certain areas of the business, Pitney Bowes, Kodak, Océ, Konica-Minolta and Lexmark. We believe that our brand recognition, reputation for document knowledge and expertise, innovative technology, breadth of product offerings, global distribution channels, customer relationships and large customer base are important competitive advantages. We and our competitors continue to develop and market new and innovative products at competitive prices, and, at any given time, we may set new market standards for quality, speed and function.

Marketing and Distribution

LOGO

We manage our business based on the principal business segments described earlier. However, we have organized the marketing and selling of our products and solutions according to geography and channel types. We sell our products and solutions directly to customers through our worldwide sales force and through a network of independent agents, dealers, value-added resellers and systems integrators. We use our direct sales force to address our customers’ more advanced technology, solutions and services requirements, and use cost-effective indirect distribution channels for basic product offerings.

In large enterprises, we follow a services led approach that allows us to address two basic challenges facing large enterprises:

1) How to optimize their infrastructure to be both cost effective and globally consistent.

2) How to improve their value proposition and communication with their customers.

In response to these needs, we bring a go-to-market approach that leads with the largest direct sales and service delivery force in the industry available on a globally consistent manner. This can range from hardware, software or services in whatever combination is necessary to meet the needs of that customer.

In 2007 we substantially increased our distribution capabilities to the SMB market in the U.S. through our acquisition of GIS. GIS has a proven track record of delivering value to customers in the SMB market through a decentralized management structure that emphasizes local customer connections and empowerments. We have maintained that operating structure and approach. GIS, which had previously not distributed Xerox products, now brings Xerox product options to a segment of the market where we were previously underrepresented. GIS was built up over the years through acquisitions and now operates in 32 states in the U.S. In 2007 GIS acquired six additional companies, four after our acquisition of GIS, and going forward we will continue to support GIS in expanding its footprint.

We market our Phaser line of color and monochrome laser-class and solid ink printers primarily through office information technology industry resellers, who typically access our products through distributors. In 2007, we expanded our distribution partnerships in North America by recruiting an expanded set of information technology resellers and enhancing our network of independent agents. We also continued to increase the product offerings available through a two-tiered distribution model in Europe and DMO.

LOGO

We are increasing our use of partners to expand our market coverage. Through reseller alliances with Fujifilm Graphics Systems and Fujifilm Imaging Systems, we distribute our production products to graphic communications customers and the photo market industries. In 2007 we signed a contract with Fujifilm Graphics Systems in Europe to compliment the contracts in the U.S. and Canada. We have launched in six western European countries and will continue to expand throughout 2008. We also signed a reseller contract with Fujifilm Imaging Systems in both the U.S. and Canada to enable a channel for production products that support the digital photo specialty application market. We also have an alliance with Electronic Data Systems (EDS) which is designed to integrate EDS’ information technology (IT) services with our document management systems and services to provide customers with full IT infrastructure support. Overall, through The Xerox Connection partner program, we have over 125 partners who work with us to provide solutions.

In Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, and parts of Asia, we distribute our products through Xerox Limited, a company established under the laws of England, and related non-U.S. companies all of which we refer to as Xerox Limited. Xerox Limited enters into distribution agreements with unaffiliated third parties covering distribution of our products in some of the countries located in these regions, and previously entered into agreements with unaffiliated third parties covering distribution of our products in Iran, Sudan, and Syria. Iran, Sudan, and Syria, among others, have been designated as state sponsors of terrorism by the U.S. Department of State and are subject to U.S. economic sanctions. We maintain an export and sanctions compliance program and believe that we have been and are in compliance with U.S. laws and government regulations for these countries. In addition, we had no assets, liabilities, or operations in these countries other than liabilities under the distribution agreements. After observing required prior notice periods, Xerox Limited terminated its distribution agreements related to Sudan and Syria in August 2006 and terminated its distribution agreement related to Iran in December 2006, and now has only legacy obligations such as providing spare parts and supplies to these third parties. In 2007, we had total revenues of $17.2 billion, of which approximately $7.7 million was attributable to Iran and less than $0.25 million in total was attributable to Sudan and Syria. As a result of the termination of these agreements, we anticipate that our revenues attributable to these countries will decline.

In January 2006, Xerox Limited entered into a five-year distribution agreement with an unaffiliated third party covering distribution of our products in Libya. Libya is also designated as a state sponsor of terrorism by the U.S. Department of State. The decision to enter into this distribution agreement was made in light of recent U.S. federal government actions that have lifted the countrywide embargo previously imposed on Libya. Our sales in Libya through this distribution agreement will be subject to our export and sanctions compliance program and will be according to the U.S. laws and government regulations that relate to Libya.

Service

As of December 31, 2007, we had a worldwide service force of approximately 13,000 employees and an extensive variable contract service force. We are expanding our use of cost-effective remote service technology for basic product offerings while utilizing our direct service force and a variable contract service force to address customers’ more advanced technology requirements. The increasing use of a variable contract service force is consistent with our strategy to reduce service costs while maintaining high-quality levels of service. We believe that our service force represents a significant competitive advantage in that the service force is continually

trained on our products and their diagnostic equipment is state-of-the-art. We offer service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in major metropolitan areas around the world, providing a consistent and superior level of service worldwide.

Manufacturing and Supply

We are currently in the first year of a 2007 master supply agreement with Flextronics, a global electronics manufacturing services company, to outsource portions of manufacturing for our Office segment. The agreement is for three years with two additional one year extension periods at our option. Our inventory purchases from Flextronics currently represent approximately 20% of our overall worldwide inventory procurement. We have agreed to purchase from Flextronics some products and consumables within specified product families. Flextronics must acquire inventory in anticipation of meeting our forecasted requirements and must maintain sufficient manufacturing capacity to satisfy these requirements. Under certain circumstances, we may be obligated to purchase inventory that remains unused for more than 180 days or becomes obsolete, or on the termination of the supply agreement.

We acquire other office products from various third parties, to increase the breadth of our product portfolio, and to meet channel requirements. We also have arrangements with Fuji Xerox under which we purchase some products from and sell other products to Fuji Xerox. Some of these purchases and sales are the result of mutual research and development arrangements. Our remaining manufacturing operations are primarily located in Rochester, New York and Dundalk, Ireland for our high-end production products and consumables, and in Wilsonville, Oregon for solid ink products, consumable supplies, and components for our Office segment products.

In 2007 Xerox opened a $60 million emulsion aggregation (EA) toner plant in Webster, New York. EA toner was developed by Xerox and is protected by more than 300 patents. EA toner is chemically grown enabling the size, shape and structure of the particles to be precisely controlled which leads to improved print quality, less toner usage, less toner waste and less energy required for manufacturing and for printing. Xerox also opened in 2007 a $24 million state-of-the art automated ink manufacturing plant in Wilsonville, Oregon to serve growing demand for its proprietary solid ink color printers.

Fuji Xerox

Fuji Xerox Co., Limited is an unconsolidated entity in which we currently own 25% and FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (FujiFilm) owns 75%. Fuji Xerox develops, manufactures and distributes document processing products in Japan, China, Hong Kong and other areas of the Pacific Rim, Australia and New Zealand. We retain significant rights as a minority shareholder. Our technology licensing agreements with Fuji Xerox ensure that the two companies retain uninterrupted access to each other’s portfolio of patents, technology and products.

International Operations

We are incorporating by reference the financial measures by geographical area for 2007, 2006 and 2005 that are included in Note 2-Segment Reporting in the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2007 Annual Report. See also the risk factors entitled “Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted by economic conditions abroad, including fluctuating foreign currencies and shifting regulatory schemes.” in Part 1, Item 1A of this Form 10K.

Backlog

We believe that backlog, or the value of unfilled orders, is not a meaningful indicator of future business prospects because of the significant proportion of our revenue that follows equipment installation, the large volume of products we deliver from shelf inventories, and the shortening of product life cycles.

 

17


 

Seasonality

Our revenues are affected by such factors as the introduction of new products, the length of the sales cycles, and the seasonality of technology purchases. As a result, our operating results are difficult to predict. These factors have historically resulted in lower revenue in the first quarter than in the immediately preceding fourth quarter.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

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 which 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 and protect our intellectual property rights, 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 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. In developing these new technologies and products, we rely upon patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and similar laws in other countries, and agreements with our employees, customers, suppliers and other parties, to establish and maintain our intellectual property rights in technology and products used in our operations. However, the laws of certain countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States and we may be unable to protect our proprietary technology adequately against unauthorized third-party copying or use, which could adversely affect our competitive position. In addition, some of our products rely on technologies developed by third parties. We may not be able to obtain or to continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third parties at all or on reasonable terms, or such third parties may demand cross-licenses to our intellectual property. It is also possible that our intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, allowing others to use our intellectual property to our competitive detriment. 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 technologies and products or if we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights 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.

We are continually reviewing our operations with a view towards reducing our cost structure, including but not limited to downsizing our employee base, exiting certain businesses, improving process and system efficiencies and outsourcing some internal functions. 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 prior restructuring actions, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

18


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, all 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 interruptions in supply or increases 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, 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 completely 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 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 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, as well as our ability to retain a high level of supplies sales in unbundled contracts. 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.

 

19


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 markets.

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 and is subject to credit market volatility. We are currently funding our customer financing activity through a combination of capital market offerings, cash generated from operations, cash on hand, other 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 significant debt could adversely affect our financial health and pose challenges for conducting our business.

We have and will continue to have a significant amount of debt and other obligations, primarily to support our customer financing activities. As of December 31, 2007, we had $7.5 billion of total debt ($275 million of which is secured by finance receivables) and a $632 million liability to a subsidiary trust issuing preferred securities. The total value of financing activities, shown on the balance sheet as Finance Receivables and On-Lease equipment, was $8.6 billion at December 31, 2007. The total cash and cash equivalents was $1.1 billion at December 31, 2007. Our substantial debt and other obligations could have important consequences. For example, it could (i) increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; (ii) limit our ability to obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate requirements; (iii) increase our vulnerability to interest rate fluctuations because a portion of our debt has variable interest rates; (iv) require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to service debt and other obligations thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows from operations for other purposes; (v) limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; (vi) place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and (vii) become due and payable upon a change in control. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, these related risks could increase.

We need to maintain adequate liquidity in order to have sufficient cash to meet operating cash flow requirements, repay maturing debt and meet other financial obligations, such as payment of dividends to the extent declared by our Board of Directors. 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, access to capital markets, securitizations, funding from third parties and borrowings secured by our finance receivables portfolios. As of December 31, 2007, total cash and cash equivalents was $1.1 billion, and our borrowing capacity under our 2007 Credit Facility was $1.4 billion, reflecting $600 million of outstanding borrowings. We also have funding available through a secured borrowing arrangement with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”). 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; however, our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity going forward depends on our ability to generate cash from operations and access to the capital markets, secured borrowings, securitizations and funding from third parties, all of which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other market factors that are beyond our control.

The 2007 Credit Facility contains 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 contains 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 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 charge coverage ratio applicable to certain types of payments. Our U.S. Loan Agreement with 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 one time. As of December 31, 2007, $275 million was outstanding under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement incorporates the financial maintenance covenants contained in the 2007 Credit Facility and contains other affirmative and negative covenants.

 

20


At December 31, 2007, we were in full compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the 2007 Credit Facility, the senior notes and the Loan Agreement. Any failure to be in compliance with any material provision or covenant of the 2007 Credit Facility or the 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.

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 in 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 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 and our products are subject to environmental regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we conduct our business and sell our products. Some of our manufacturing operations use, and some of our products contain, substances that are regulated in various jurisdictions. For example, various countries and jurisdictions have adopted or proposed or are expected to adopt restrictions on the types and amounts of chemicals that may be present in electronic equipment or other items. The previously enacted European Union Directive known as the Restriction on the Use of Hazardous Substances (“RoHS”) is one example. 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, various countries and jurisdictions have adopted or proposed, or are expected to propose, programs that make producers of electrical goods, including computers and printers, responsible for certain labeling, collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of these recovered products. The previously enacted European Union Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (“WEEE”) is one example. 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. For example, the European Union’s Energy-Using Products Directive (“EUP”) is expected to lead to the adoption of “implementing measures” intended to require certain classes of products to achieve certain design and/or performance standards, in connection with energy use and potentially other environmental parameters and impacts. It is possible that some or all of our products may be required to comply with EUP implementing measures. Another example is the European Union “REACH” Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), a broad initiative that will require parties throughout the supply chain to register, assess and disclose information regarding many chemicals in their products. Depending on the types, applications, forms and uses of chemical substances in various products, REACH could lead to restrictions and/or bans on certain chemical usage. Xerox continues its efforts toward monitoring and evaluating the applicability of these and other regulatory initiatives in an effort to develop compliance strategies. As these and similar initiatives and programs become regulatory requirements throughout the world 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 bring GIS into our operations in order to realize all of the anticipated benefits from the transaction.

Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the GIS acquisition is subject to certain risks including, but not limited to the risks that the future business operations of GIS will not be successful; customer retention and revenue expansion goals for the GIS transaction will not be met; and disruptions from the GIS transaction will harm relationships with customers, employees, agents, distributors and suppliers.

Item 2. Properties

In December 2006, we sold our Corporate headquarters facility in Stamford, Connecticut. In connection with the sale, we leased our former headquarters until October of 2007 when we relocated to a leased facility in Norwalk, Connecticut.

We own several manufacturing, engineering and research facilities and lease additional facilities. The principal manufacturing and engineering facilities, located in California, New York, Oklahoma, Canada, U.K., Ireland and the Netherlands, are used jointly by the Production and Office Segments, those in Oregon by the Office Segment, and those in Brazil for both the Office and the DMO Segment, as well as India for the DMO Segment. In 2007, we completed construction of a new color toner plant on our manufacturing campus in Webster, NY and opened an automated ink manufacturing plant on the Company’s campus in Wilsonville, Oregon. Our principal research facilities are located in California, New York, Canada, France and the U.K. The research activities in our principal research centers benefit all our operating segments.

As we implemented our restructuring programs (refer to Note 9-”Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges” in the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report, incorporated by reference), several leased properties became surplus. The surplus properties have leases that we are obligated to maintain through required contractual periods. We have disposed or subleased certain of these properties and are aggressively pursuing the successful disposition and subleasing of all remaining surplus properties anticipating the majority to be disposed by 2009. With respect to United States properties, at December 31, 2007, there were approximately 9 surplus facilities totaling approximately 248,000 square feet.

We continue to implement our Virtual Office Program for the United States sales force locations. As part of this program, approximately 3,100 employees are working virtually. In combination with other initiatives, this program has reduced our real estate portfolio by approximately 900,000 square feet. Overall, this program has been a success and is generally well received.

We own or lease numerous facilities, which encompass general offices, sales offices, service locations and distribution centers. As a result of the acquisition of GIS and Advectis, we acquired several leased facilities which have been incorporated into the portfolio and rationalized as appropriate. Our principal owned facilities are located in the United States, Ireland, Brazil, Netherlands and India and our principal leased facilities are located in the United States, Brazil, Canada, U.K., Mexico, France and Germany. In 2002, we entered into a joint venture (Xerox Capital Services) with General Electric to manage our administrative billing, credit and collection functions. Xerox Capital Services licenses several of our owned and leased facilities totaling approximately 500,000 square feet for their use. Our two principal Xerox Capital Services administrative facilities are located in Illinois and Texas. A third vacant administrative facility, located in Florida, is in the process of being closed. We also lease a portion of a training facility, located in Virginia. It is our opinion that our properties have been well maintained, are in sound operating condition and contain all the necessary equipment and facilities to perform our functions.

Graph assumes $100 invested on December 31, 2002 in Xerox Corp., in the S&P 500 Index, and in the S&P 500 Information Technology (IT) Index respectively, and assumes dividends are reinvested.

 

The graph also includes a comparison to the 2006 Business Week Computers & Peripherals Industry Group (2006 Business Week Index). Substantial changes have been made to the Business Week Computers & Peripherals Industry Group since 2006. Due to these changes and the subjective nature of this Group, the S&P 500 Information Technology Index has been selected to replace this index since we believe it is a more appropriate and standardized index for comparison.

 

The companies included in the 2006 Business Week Index are as follows:

Apple, Dell, Diebold, EMC Corp., Gateway (included through 2006), Hewlett-Packard, International Business Machines, Lexmark International, NCR, Network Appliance, Palm, Sandisk, Seagate Technology, Sun Microsystems and Western Digital.

2006 Business Week Index is weighted by market capitalization and assumes reinvestment of dividends.

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Statements

Our management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of all information presented in this annual report. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Management believes the consolidated financial statements fairly reflect the form and substance of transactions and that the financial statements fairly represent the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed solely of independent directors, meets regularly with the independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the internal auditors and representatives of management to review accounting, financial reporting, internal control and audit matters, as well as the nature and extent of the audit effort. The Audit Committee is responsible for the engagement of the independent auditors. The independent auditors and internal auditors have free access to the Audit Committee.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify the Company’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors. Based on their evaluation as of December 31, 2007, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and was accumulated and communicated to the Company’s Management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive, financial and accounting officers, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on the above evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in our 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders which is incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, there was no change identified in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

Directors:

On February 14, 2008, Ralph S. Larsen informed the Company that he will not stand for re-election to the Xerox Board of Directors at the May 2008 Annual Shareholders Meeting.

Executive Compensation

On February 14, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company took the following actions:

2007 and 2008 Annual Performance Incentive Plan (APIP):

The Compensation Committee approved the payments of cash awards under the Xerox 2004 Performance Incentive Plan (“2004 PIP”), as amended. The measures on which awards are based for the 2007 fiscal year are set out on Exhibit 10(e)(11) attached hereto and the measures for awards for fiscal year 2008 are set out on Exhibit 10(e)(16) attached hereto. The Compensation Committee approved cash awards under the 2004 PIP for fiscal year 2007 to Anne M. Mulcahy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Ursula M. Burns, President, Lawrence A. Zimmerman, Chief Financial Officer and certain other officers, including James A. Firestone and Jean-Noel Machon, our other two most highly compensated executive officers for fiscal year 2007 (collectively with Mrs. Mulcahy, the “Named Executive Officers”). The Compensation Committee approved a cash award of $2,178,000 to Mrs. Mulcahy, $1,168,750 to Ms. Burns, $770,000 to Mr. Zimmerman, $770,000 to Mr. Firestone, and $579,983 to Mr. Machon.

2005 E-LTIP Awards:

The Compensation Committee determined that one-third of the performance shares granted under the 2005 Executive Long-Term Incentive Program (“2005 E-LTIP”) were earned based on the Company’s 2007 performance against the annual

 

26


targets established for Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations (“EPS”) and Net Cash provided by Operating Activities. A description of the targets is set out on Exhibit 10(e)(4). The number of shares earned for 2007 for each Named Officer is as follows: Mrs. Mulcahy, 98,034 shares; Ms. Burns, 35,300 shares; Mr. Zimmerman, 31,367 shares; Mr. Firestone, 31,367 shares; and Mr. Machon, 19,634 shares.

The Compensation Committee also determined that an additional 46.36% of the 2005 original award amount was earned based on achievement of three-year cumulative performance results against the three-year targets established for EPS and Net Cash provided by Operating Activities. A description of the targets is set out on Exhibit 10(e)(4). The number of additional shares earned for each Named Executive Officer is as follows: Mrs. Mulcahy, 136,345 shares; Ms. Burns, 49,095 shares; Mr. Zimmerman, 43,625 shares; Mr. Firestone, 43,625 shares; and Mr. Machon, 27,307 shares. All performance shares earned under the 2005 E-LTIP vested on February 14, 2008. There are no performance shares remaining under the 2005 E-LTIP.

The Compensation Committee previously approved a modification to the EPS definition as originally established to exclude any gains/losses resulting from the settlement of tax audits. This modification was made to align the 2005 EPS definition with the 2006 E-LTIP EPS definition and to exclude the significant tax gains that occurred in 2006. As a result, the cumulative EPS result was lower than it otherwise would have been absent the modification.

2006 E-LTIP Awards:

The Compensation Committee determined that one-third of the performance shares granted under the 2006 Executive Long-Term Incentive Program (“2006 E-LTIP”) were earned based on the Company’s 2007 performance against the annual targets established for Earnings Per Share and Core Cash Flow from Operations. A description of the targets is set out on Exhibit 10(e)(6). The number of shares earned for 2007 for each Named Executive Officer is as follows: Mrs. Mulcahy, 148,000 shares; Ms. Burns, 56,933 shares; Mr. Zimmerman, 36,433 shares; Mr. Firestone, 45,567 shares; and Mr. Machon, 22,800 shares. Earned shares vest three years from their grant date.

2007 E-LTIP Awards:

The Compensation Committee determined that one-third of the performance shares granted under the 2007 Executive Long-Term Incentive Program (“2007 E-LTIP”) were earned based on the Company’s 2007 performance against the annual targets established for Earnings Per Share and Core Cash Flow from Operations. A description of the targets is set out on Exhibit 10(e)(12). The number of shares earned for 2007 for each Named Executive Officer is as follows: Mrs. Mulcahy, 162,533 shares; Ms. Burns, 46,200 shares; Mr. Zimmerman, 49,232 shares; Mr. Firestone, 36,966 shares; and Mr. Machon, 18,500 shares. Earned shares vest three years from their grant date.

2008 E-LTIP Awards:

2008 E-LTIP awards made to Named Executive Officers reflect their leadership role in the Company, their historical and future contributions, and competitive award levels. The purpose of the 2008 E-LTIP is to provide the necessary incentives to retain and reward executives for sustained performance improvements over the next three-year period. Awards under the 2008 E-LTIP for Named Executive Officers are comprised entirely of performance shares that may be earned based on achieving annual performance targets and three-year cumulative performance between threshold and maximum as determined by the Committee. All performance shares that are earned vest in 2011. Named Executive Officers who retire, are involuntarily terminated (without cause) or voluntarily terminate due to a reduction in force prior to the end of the three-year performance cycle will vest in a portion of the performance shares earned on a pro rata basis.

Performance metrics for the 2008 E-LTIP are Earnings Per Share (weighted 60%) and Core Cash Flow from Operations (weighted 40%). Earnings Per Share and Core Cash Flow from Operations are defined in Exhibit 10(e)(17) attached hereto. The Committee has established annual and cumulative targets. Based on annual or cumulative performance versus targets, the number of performance shares earned by Named Executive Officers under the 2008 E-LTIP may vary from 0% to 150% of the initial number of shares subject to the grant. The form of award agreement pursuant to which such grants were made is attached hereto as Exhibit 10(e)(19).

Participants in the 2008 E-LTIP are subject to meaningful ownership requirements and mandatory share holding requirements of 50% of the net vested shares until their ownership requirements have been met.
