          Xerox Corporation, a New York corporation (herein called the “Company,” which term
includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received,
hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns, the principal sum of $      
(             U.S. DOLLARS) on             , at the office or agency of the
Company referred to below, and to pay interest thereon from December 4, 2009, or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually on
                          of each
year, commencing                 , at the rate of    % per annum,
until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for, and (to the extent lawful) to pay on
demand interest on any overdue interest at the rate borne by the Notes from the date on which such
overdue interest becomes payable to the date payment of such interest has been made or duly
provided for.

          The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or

not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder
on such Regular Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest, and (to the extent lawful) interest on
such Defaulted Interest at the rate borne by the Notes, may be paid to the Person in whose name
this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a

(REVERSE OF NOTE)

          1. Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company
designated as its      % Senior Notes due      (herein called the “Notes”), issued under an
indenture (herein called the “Indenture”) dated as December 4, 2009, between the Company
and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term
includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations
of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Notes, and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered.

          Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning
assigned to such terms in the Indenture.

          The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture (except as superceded by the
terms set forth in the Notes) and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of
the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such
terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such
terms.

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provisions of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the
coin or currency, herein prescribed.

          2. Optional Redemption. Except as set forth in this paragraph and in paragraph 3, the
Notes are not redeemable.

          (a) The Company may, at any time and from time to time, at its option, redeem the Outstanding
Notes (in whole or in part) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to the applicable redemption date, plus the
Make-Whole Premium. The Company shall give not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice of such
redemption.

          “Make-Whole Premium” with respect to a Note means an amount equal to the excess of (a)
the present value of the remaining interest, premium and principal payments due on such Note to its
final maturity date, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate on such date plus
     %, over (b) the outstanding principal amount of such Note. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Make-Whole Premium shall not be less than zero.

          “Treasury Rate,” for any date, means the yield to maturity at the time of computation
of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the
most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) that has become publicly available at
least two business days prior to the date the redemption is effected (the “Specified Redemption
Date”) (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source
of similar market data) most nearly equal to the period from the

 

6

Specified Redemption Date to             ;
provided, however, that if the
period from the Specified Redemption Date to             , is not equal to the constant
maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the
Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a
year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are
given, except that if the period from the Specified Redemption Date to             , is less
than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities
adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

          (b) In the case of any redemption of Notes, interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on
or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date
referred to on the face hereof. Notes (or portions thereof) for whose redemption and payment
provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest from and after the
Redemption Date.

          (c) In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the
unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation
hereof.

          (d) In the event that less than all of the Notes are redeemed, selection of the Notes for
redemption will be made by the Trustee either:

     (1) in compliance with the requirements of the principle national securities exchange,
if any, on which the Notes are listed; or,

     (2) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, with adjustments so that only
Notes in a minimum of $2,000 aggregate principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof will be selected.

          The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption
and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed.

          (e) The election of the Company to redeem any Notes shall be evidenced by an Officers’
Certificate. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least
60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, the Notes and of the
principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed and shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation
and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Notes to be redeemed.

          (f) For all purposes of the Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed
only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Note which has been or is to be
redeemed.

 

7

          (g) Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided for in Section 107 of the
Indenture not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of
Notes to be redeemed.

All notices of redemption shall state:

     (1) the Redemption Date,

     (2) the Redemption Price,

     (3) the CUSIP, ISIN or similar number,

     (4) the name and address of the Paying Agent,

     (5) if less than all Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in
the case of a partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the particular Notes
to be redeemed,

     (6) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed,

     (7) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price (together with accrued interest
to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106 of the Indenture) will become due
and payable upon each such Note, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and that interest
thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, and

     (8) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price.

Notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the
Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

          3. Special Mandatory Redemption. If for any reason the Company’s acquisition (the
“Acquisition”) of Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (“ACS”) pursuant to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 27, 2009, among the Company, Boulder
Acquisition Corp. and ACS (the “Merger Agreement”) is not consummated on or prior to June
27, 2009 or (ii) the Merger Agreement is terminated at any time prior thereto, then the Company
shall redeem all the Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at a redemption price equal to
101% of the aggregate accreted principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest from
December 4, 2009 to but excluding the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (the “Special Mandatory
Redemption Price”) (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to
receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). The provisions in this Section 3 may
not be waived or modified without the written consent of Holders of at least 90% in principal
amount of Outstanding Notes.

          (a) Within five Business Days following the occurrence of the event triggering redemption
notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph 3 (a “Special Mandatory 

 

8

Redemption Notice”) shall be mailed, in the manner provided for in Section 107 of the
Indenture, with a written copy to the Trustee, by first-class mail, postage prepaid to each Holder
of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s address as shown in the Security Register. Failure to give
notice by mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Notes designated for
redemption, as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Notes or portions thereof.

     All notices of redemption shall state:

     (1) the Special Mandatory Redemption Date,

     (2) the Special Mandatory Redemption Price,

     (3) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number,

     (4) the name and address of the Paying Agent,

     (5) that on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Special Mandatory Redemption
Price (together with accrued interest to but excluding the Special Mandatory Redemption Date
payable as provided in Section 1106 of the Indenture) will become due and payable upon each
such Note to be redeemed and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said
date, and

     (6) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the
Special Mandatory Redemption Price.

          Notice of redemption of the Notes to be redeemed shall be given by the Company or, at the
Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

          “Special Mandatory Redemption Date” means the earlier to occur of (1) June 27, 2009,
if the Acquisition has not been completed on or prior to such date, or (2) the 30th day (or if such
day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter) following the termination of the
Merger Agreement for any reason.

          4. Offers to Purchase. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event,
each Holder will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion (equal to
$2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the
offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of
the principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
purchase.

          (a) Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Repurchase Event
occurred, the Company shall send, or cause the Trustee to send, by first class mail, a notice to
each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee stating:

     (1) that a Change of Control Repurchase Event has occurred and that such Holder has the
right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a

 

9

purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the date of purchase;

     (2) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days
from the date such notice is mailed, other than as required by law) (the “Change of
Control Payment Date”);

     (3) the procedures determined by the Company, consistent with the Indenture, that a
Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased;

     (4) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to the terms of this Note

be accepted for payment; and that the Change of Control Offer shall remain open for a period
of 20 Business Days or such longer period as may be required by applicable law;

     (5) the purchase price (including the amount of accrued interest, if any) for each Note
and the date on which the Change of Control Offer expires;

     (6) that any Note not tendered for payment will continue to accrue interest in
accordance with the terms hereof;

Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue
interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

     (8) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer
will be required to surrender their Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in
the notice prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day prior to the

     (9) that Holders of Notes will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying
Agent receives, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day
prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting
forth the name of the Holders, the principal amount of Notes the Holders delivered for
purchase, the Note certificate number (if any) and a statement that such Holder is
withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased;

     (10) that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part will be issued Notes of like
tenor equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered;
provided, however, that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in
denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; and

     (11) a description of the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of
Control.

 

10

          (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Notes in
denominations of $2,000 or portions thereof in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof
validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the
Paying Agent money, in immediately available funds, sufficient to pay the purchase price of all
Notes or portions thereof validly tendered and accepted and (iii) deliver to the Trustee the Notes
so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Notes or portions thereof
tendered to and accepted for payment by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or
deliver to the Holders of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price, and
the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or cause to be transferred by book-entry to such
Holders a new Note of like tenor equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Note
surrendered. Any Notes not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the
Holder thereof. Upon the payment of the purchase price for the Notes accepted for purchase, the
Trustee shall cancel the Notes purchased by the Company. Any monies remaining after the purchase of
all Notes validly tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be returned within three (3)
Business Days by the Paying Agent to the Company. The Company shall publicly announce the results
of the Change of Control Offer as soon as practicable following the Change of Control Payment Date.

          (c) The Company is not required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control
Repurchase Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and
otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Note applicable to a Change of Control Offer
made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of
Control Offer.

          (d) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the
extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the terms of this
Note the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be
deemed to have breached its obligations under this Note by virtue thereof.

          (e) Definitions.

     (1) “Below Investment Grade Ratings Event” means that on any day within the
60-day period (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under

after the earlier of (1) the occurrence of a Change of Control; or (2) public notice of the
occurrence of a Change of Control or the intention by the Company to effect a Change of
Control, the Notes are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event otherwise arising by
virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect
of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade
Ratings Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event
hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition
would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the trustee in writing
at its request that the reduction was the result, in

 

11

whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of,

Control shall have occurred at the time of the ratings event).

group has become the “beneficial owner” of 50% or more of the combined voting power
of the Company’s Capital Stock or other Capital Stock into which the Company’s

managers, trustees or a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors;

     (b) there shall be consummated any share exchange, consolidation or merger of
the Company pursuant to which the Company’s Common Stock would be converted into
cash, securities or other property, or the Company sells, assigns, conveys,

in each case other than pursuant to a share exchange, consolidation or merger of the
Company in which the holders of the Company’s Common Stock immediately prior to the
share exchange, consolidation or merger have, directly or indirectly, at least a
majority of the total voting power in the aggregate of all classes of Capital Stock
of the continuing or surviving corporation immediately after the share exchange,
consolidation or merger;

all unissued shares deemed to be held by all other persons.

     (3) “Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change
of Control and a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event.

     (4) “Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member
of the Company’s Board of Directors who (1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the
date of the issuance of the notes; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such
Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or
by approval of the Company’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for
election as a director).

     (5) “Fitch” means Fitch Ratings Ltd.

     (6) “Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its

provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company

aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
the Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain
past Defaults or Events of Default under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
