ARTICLE 3

Eligibility

Section 3.1. Eligibility. All Employees and beneficiaries of Employees eligible to receive benefits from the Funded Plan shall be eligible to receive benefits under this Plan in accordance with Section 4.1 regardless of when the Employees may have retired. Notwithstanding the above, if, prior to

a Change in Control, a participant who is an Employee or former Employee of the Company, or a surviving beneficiary of a participant, is deemed by the Plan Administrator, in his sole and absolute discretion, to have engaged in detrimental activity against the Company, such employee, former employee or surviving beneficiary shall not be eligible to receive benefits under the Plan. (Detrimental activity shall include, but not be limited to, engaging in litigation against the Company or the Plan).

ARTICLE 4

Benefits

Section 4.1. Amount of Benefits. The amount of the benefit payable under the Plan shall be equal to the monthly benefit which would be payable to or on behalf of an Employee under the Funded Plan as a Life Annuity if Section 9.5 of the Funded Plan were inapplicable and if the amount of any compensation deferred by the Employee was included in the calculation of Average Monthly Compensation (except the increase in compensation which became payable under the Company’s policy of increasing compensation by the amount which cannot be added to an Employee’s accounts under the Profit Sharing Plan by reason of the limitation contained in Section 415 of the Code) and if the limitations on the amount of Compensation considered in the Average Monthly Compensation which apply in the Funded Plan due to the requirements of section 401(a)(17) of the Code were inapplicable, less the following “applicable offsets”:

(a) The monthly benefit payable as a Life Annuity to or on behalf of the Employee under the Funded Plan other than the RIGP Plus Benefit payable under Article 17 thereof which would be payable on the benefit calculation date under this Plan.

(b) Any amount deducted for the payment of FICA taxes payable on benefits under the Plan.

(c) The monthly benefit calculated as a Life Annuity payable at the benefit calculation date under this Plan to or on behalf of the Employee under the Xerox Corporation Provisional Supplement Benefit Plan, except that any increase in the offset computed under this subsection (c) may never exceed the increase in the benefit under the Plan computed under this section without regard to such offset.

(d) The benefit payable under the Xerox Corporation Unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (without regard to section 6(F)(2)(b) thereof).

(e) Any severance or post-employment amounts paid by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, to the extent provided by agreement between the Company and the Participant, except that any increase in the offset computed under this subsection (e) may never exceed the increase in the benefit under the Plan computed under this section without regard to such offset, and any agreement providing to the contrary shall be treated as void with regard to such excess amount.

Section 4.1A. Unfunded Cash Balance Retirement Account. For periods after 2002, an Unfunded Cash Balance Retirement Account (UCBRA) shall apply in the calculation of benefits under Section 4.1 to the extent an employee has a vested CBRA in the Funded Plan. The UCBRA shall be added to the CBRA and this benefit expressed as a Life Annuity will be compared to other Funded Plan formulas as modified by Section 4.1 with the highest determining the Life Annuity under Section 4.1 prior to the application of applicable offsets. The UCBRA is a notional unfunded account and is $0 as of January 1, 2003, and is increased with Employer Credits and Interest as described in the Funded Plan with the following adjustment: The Employer Credit under this section is first computed without regard to the limitations of Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, and then such amount as so computed shall be reduced by the Employer Credit in the Funded Plan. Interest will apply at the same rate as in the Funded Plan but only to the net Employer Credit as computed in the preceding sentence.

Section 4.1B. Additional Benefit. In addition to the benefit provided by the foregoing provisions of Section 4.1 and Section 4.1A, there shall be an additional benefit equal to the excess of (a) over (b) where (a) is the RIGP Plus Benefit which would be payable under Article 17 of the Funded Plan as if “Annual Pay”, as defined in Article 17 of the Funded Plan, had been calculated without regard to the applicable limitations of the “Code” as defined in the Funded Plan and to include deferred compensation to the extent not already included and (b) is the RIGP Plus Benefit calculated under Article 17 of the Funded Plan subject to such Code limitations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the benefit under this Section 4.1B shall be payable in cash in a lump sum. Such benefit shall be paid at the time specified in Section 4.4.

Section 4.2. Form of Benefit Payments. The forms of benefit available under the Plan shall be for unmarried Employees a 10-Year certain and life annuity or a life annuity and for married Employees a 50% or 100% joint and survivor annuity option, all as shall have been elected by Employee on forms provided by the Administrator. The benefit payable to an unmarried Employee who has failed to make such an election shall be a life annuity and for any such married Employee a 50% joint and survivor annuity. The 10-year certain and life annuity is the actuarial equivalent of the life annuity and the 100% joint and survivor annuity is the actuarial equivalent of the 50% joint and survivor annuity. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1 in no event is the benefit payable in a lump sum.

Notwithstanding the above, the lump sum actuarial equivalent of any benefit otherwise payable as a monthly amount of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or less, shall be distributed in accordance with Section 4.4. The lump sum actuarial equivalent amount shall be determined using the basis for a lump sum described in the section entitled “Optional Forms of Benefit Payment” of the Funded Plan.

Section 4.3. Death Prior to Benefit Commencement. The spouse of a Participant who dies before commencement of benefits under the Plan shall be entitled to a survivor benefit calculated in accordance with Article 7 of the Funded Plan in an amount equal to the amount determined under (a) or (b) below.

(a) In the case of a Participant who is eligible to retire under the Funded Plan on the date of his or her death, the sum of (a) one half of the retirement benefit to which the Participant would have been entitled under the Plan if he or she had retired on the last day of the month coincident with or next following the date of the Participant’s death but only after such retirement benefit is reduced by the annuity equivalent of the UCBRA based on the Participant’s age, and (b) the annuity equivalent of UCBRA based on the spouse’s age at such date; or

(b) In the case of a Participant who is not eligible to retire under the Funded Plan on the date of his or her death, the sum of (a) one-half of the retirement benefit to which the Participant would have been entitled under the Plan if he or she had terminated on his or her date of death and survived to the date of payment of benefits as determined under Section 4.4 below but only after such retirement benefit is reduced by the annuity equivalent of the UCBRA based on the Participant’s age at such date, and (b) the annuity equivalent of UCBRA based on the spouse’s age at such date.

Section 4.4. Time of Benefit Payments. Benefits due under the Plan shall be paid as follows:

(a) Retirement before 2005. A Participant who retires with the Company before January 1, 2005, shall be paid benefits due under the Plan coincident with the payment date of benefits under the Funded Plan or at such other time or times as the Administrator in his discretion determines.

(b) Retirement from January 1, 2005 through November 30, 2007. A Participant who retires with the Company after December 31, 2004, but before December 1, 2007, shall be paid benefits due under the Plan as follows:

(i) If such Participant elects to receive his or her benefits under the Funded Plan with an annuity starting date that is on or before December 31, 2007, the Participant’s benefits due under the Plan shall be paid coincident with the payment date of his or her benefits under the Funded Plan.

(ii) If such Participant does not make the election described in subsection (b)(i), benefits due under the Plan shall be paid on July 1, 2008. For this purpose, the benefit payable on July 1, 2008 will have a January 1, 2008 benefit calculation date and the first of such benefit payments shall include the first six benefit payments that otherwise would have been made to such Participant absent such six-month delay.

(c) Retirement after November 30, 2007. A Participant who has a separation from service (as defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code) with the Company after November 30, 2007, and who is eligible to retire as of such separation, shall be paid benefits due under the Plan commencing six months after the date of such separation but not before July 1, 2008. For this purpose, the benefit payable on such commencement date shall be calculated six months earlier and the first of such benefit payments shall include the first six benefit payments that otherwise would have been made to such Participant absent such six-month delay. If a Participant has a separation from service on or before November 30, 2007, and is eligible to retire after such date because of Salary Continuance granted at separation, the commencement date is the later of 6 months following separation from service or age 55. The benefit calculation date will be the date the Employee attains age 55, if benefits commence at age 55, or six months prior to benefit commencement but not earlier than age 55. To the extent that the benefit commencement date is prior to age 55-1/2, the number of payments due to the six-month delay shall be reduced from six months by one month for each month that the commencement date precedes age 55-1/2.

(d) Termination without retirement. A Participant who has a separation from service (as defined for purposes of section 409A of the Code) before January 1, 2008, and is not eligible to retire, shall be paid benefits due under the Plan commencing at age 65. A Participant who has a separation from service (as defined for purposes of section 409A of the Code) on or after January 1, 2008, and who is not eligible to retire under the Funded Plan as of such separation, shall be paid benefits due under the Plan commencing on the later of (i) age 55, or (ii) six months after such separation. The first of such benefit payments shall include the first six benefit payments that otherwise would have been made, if any, to such Participant absent such six-month delay. The benefit calculation date will be the date the Employee attains age 55, if benefits commence at age 55, or six months prior to benefit commencement but not earlier than age 55. To the extent that the benefit commencement date is prior to age 55-1/2, the number of payments due to the six-month delay shall be reduced from six months by one month for each month that the commencement date precedes age 55-1/2.

Section 4.5. Employee’s Rights Unsecured. The benefits payable under this Plan shall be unfunded. Consequently, no assets shall be segregated for purposes of this Plan and placed beyond the reach of the Company’s general creditors. The right of any Employee to receive benefits under the provisions of the Plan shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company.

Section 5.3. Calculation of Present Value. For purposes of Section 5.1(b) hereof, the present value of a benefit shall be calculated using the interest rate and mortality assumptions used for computing lump sums in the Funded Plan. For purposes of the Funded Plan, each Employee shall be treated as if he or she terminated employment upon the Section 409A-Conforming Change in Control and had his or her benefits determined as if he or she were to begin receiving benefits on the commencement date used in developing the present value of the benefit in Section 5.1(b).
