Item 9.

Undertakings.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

---

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities 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) and (ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities 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 Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act ) 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 Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant 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 Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Exhibit(5)(a)

Xerox Corporation

45 Glover Avenue

Norwalk, CT 06856

Ladies and Gentlemen:

As General Counsel of Xerox Corporation, a New York corporation (the “Company”), I am familiar with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on February 8, 2010 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement relates to the registration under the Securities Act of up to 4,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), and an indeterminate number of participation interests (the “Participation Interests”), which may be issued pursuant to the ACS Savings Plan (the “Plan”). 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, either I or other lawyers in the Office of General Counsel of the Company who report to me have examined (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Plan, (iii) the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, each as amended to date, (iv) certain minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company and (v) such other documents and matters of law as have been considered necessary or desirable in rendering the opinions set forth herein.

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 I have assumed 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 the 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 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”). I do not express any opinion with respect to the law of any jurisdiction other than Opined on Law or as to the effect of any such non-Opined on Law on the opinions herein stated. The Shares and Participation Interests may be issued from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis, and this opinion is limited to the laws, including the laws and regulations, as in effect on the date hereof, which laws are subject to change with possible retroactive effect.

Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that:

 

1)

The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of New York.

 

2)

The Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plans, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, with no personal liability attaching to the holders thereof under the laws of the State of New York.

 

3)

The Participation Interests, when issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plans, will be validly issued.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not thereby admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated and I disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes of the facts stated or assumed herein or any subsequent changes in applicable law.

 

Very truly yours,

/s/ Don H. Liu

Don H. Liu
