1. | Description of the Plan | |
The following description of The Savings Plan of Xerox Corporation and the Xerographic Division, UNITE HERE (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the summary plan description and the plan document for a more complete description of the Plans provisions. | ||
General | ||
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all domestic full and part-time UNITE HERE employees of Xerox Corporation (the Company). Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan immediately upon date of hire. | ||
Contributions | ||
Subject to limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), eligible employees may contribute up to 80% of pay (as defined in the Plan) through a combination of before-tax and after-tax payroll deductions. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. | ||
For the plan year 2004, Xerox Corporation matched 50% of employee before-tax savings contributions (up to 6%), which equals a maximum match of 3% of annual pay up to the IRS 401(k) elective deferral limit. These matching contributions were made annually to eligible participants of record on the last day of February following the plan year-end. To be eligible to receive the matching company contribution, the employee had to complete six months of service, and be actively employed on the last day in February of the year (except by reason of death, retirement, approved leave of absence, disability, or layoff) in which the contribution is made by the Company. | ||
For the plan year 2005, Xerox Corporation matched 50% of employee before-tax savings contributions (up to 6%), which equals a maximum match of 3% of annual pay up to the IRS 401(k) elective deferral limit. However, during 2005 union negotiations, the decision was reached that the Company will make matching contributions on a quarterly basis going forward beginning with the match for quarters 1 through 3 YTD and each quarter thereafter. To be eligible to receive the quarterly matching company contribution, the employee must complete six months of service, and be actively employed on the last business day of the calendar quarter for which the allocation occurs, or have retired, died, began an approved leave, become disabled, or was laid off during the calendar quarter. | ||
Effective January 1, 2006 all employees who would be eligible for the Company matching contribution but have not yet satisfied the six months service requirement will become eligible. | ||
Vesting of Benefits | ||
Participants are vested immediately in employee and employer contributions and actual earnings thereon. |
4
Payment of Benefits | ||
Upon termination of service, a participant may elect to defer receipt of benefits or receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of his or her account. | ||
Investment Options | ||
Plan participants are able to direct the investment of their plan holdings (employer and employee contributions) into various investment options as offered under the Plan on a daily basis. The investment options consist of three tiers of funds (Tier I, II, and III); each tier consists of several underlying funds with various levels of market risk and returns. The options consist of several balanced funds, a company stock fund, several other stock funds, a bond fund, and a marketplace window (mutual funds). | ||
Participant Loans | ||
Participants are permitted to borrow from their accounts subject to limitations set forth in the plan document. The loans are generally payable up to 4.5 years, except for loans to secure private residence which can be payable up to 14.5 years, and bear interest at the quarterly Citibank commercial prime rate in effect at the time of loan issuance plus 1%. Principal and interest payments on the loans are redeposited into the participants accounts based on their current investment allocation elections. Participants may not have more than five loans outstanding at any one time and the balance of outstanding loans for any one individual cannot exceed $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Interest rates ranged from 5% to 11.5% and 5% to 11% at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. | ||
Administration | ||
The Company is responsible for the general administration of the Plan and for carrying out the plan provisions. The trustee of the Plan is State Street Bank and Trust Company (the Trustee). Hewitt Associates (the Recordkeeper) is the recordkeeper of the Plan. | ||
Plan Termination | ||
The Plan was established with the expectation that it will continue indefinitely; however, the Company and UNITE reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. | ||
Reclassifications | ||
Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal year 2004 balances to conform with current year presentation. | ||
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Accounting | ||
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. | ||
Benefit Payments | ||
Benefit payments are recorded when paid. |

Risks and Uncertainties | ||
Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate and market risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that the changes in values of investments in the near term would materially affect the amount reported in the statements of assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in assets available for benefits. | ||
3. | Federal Income Tax Status | |
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated August 28, 2002, covering plan amendments through October 30, 2001, that the Plan and related Master Trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plans financial statements. | ||
4. | Master Trust | |
As discussed in Note 2, the Plan participates in the Master Trust. The Trustee holds the Master Trusts investment assets, provides administrative functions for each of the Plans participating in the Master Trust, and executes investment transactions as directed by participants. The following Xerox employee benefit plans represent the following percentages in the net assets of the Master Trust as of December 31: |

5. | Derivative Policy | |
The Master Trust may enter into contractual arrangements (derivatives) in carrying out its investment strategy, principally to: (1) hedge a portion of the Master Trusts portfolio to limit or minimize exposure to certain risks, (2) gain an exposure to a market more rapidly or less expensively than could be accomplished through the use of the cash markets, and (3) reduce the cost of structuring the portfolio or capture value disparities between financial instruments. The Master Trust may utilize both exchange traded investment instruments such as equity and fixed income futures and options on fixed income futures and forward currency contracts. When engaging in forward currency contracts, there is exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to these transactions. The Master Trust manages this exposure through credit approvals and limited monitoring procedures. Procedures are in place to regularly monitor and report market and counterparty credit risks associated with these instruments. | ||
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies associated with the Master Trusts use of derivatives: | ||
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts | ||
Forward currency contracts are generally utilized to hedge a portion of the currency exposure that results from the Master Trusts holdings of equity and fixed income securities denominated in foreign currencies. |

Securities Lending | ||
The Master Trust is not restricted from lending securities to other qualified financial institutions, provided such loans are callable at any time and are at all times fully secured by cash (including both U.S. and foreign currency), cash equivalents or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and the sovereign debt of foreign countries. The portfolios may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Consequently, loans of Portfolio securities will only be made to firms deemed by the subadvisors to be creditworthy. The Portfolios receive compensation for lending their securities either in the form of fees or by retaining a portion of interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. Cash collateral is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio. | ||
All collateral received will be in an amount equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities and is intended to be maintained at that level during the period of the loan. The value of the collateral on-hand at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $33,002,000 and $24,272,000, respectively. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Portfolio and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Portfolio the next business day. The market value of the loaned securities at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $32,124,000 and $23,237,000 respectively. During the loan period, the Portfolio continues to retain rights of ownership, including dividends and interest of the loaned securities. Loan income generated from securities lending arrangements was $175,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The income from securities lending is included in the Other income line item on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. | ||
6. | Related Party Transactions | |
The Plan, along with Xerox Corporation Savings Plan (the Plans), invests in a unitized stock fund, The Xerox Stock Fund (the Fund), which is primarily comprised of Xerox Corporation common shares. The unit values of the Fund are recorded and maintained by the Trustee. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Plan purchased common shares in the Fund in the approximate amount of $163,066,000, sold common shares in the Fund in the approximate amount of $221,716,000, and had net depreciation in the Fund of approximately $60,446,000. The total value of the Plans investment in the Fund was approximately $290,329,000 and $408,652,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These transactions, as well as participant loans, qualify as party-in-interest transactions. In addition, certain funds are managed by an affiliate of the trustee and therefore, qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The Plan also accepts rollovers from an affiliated plan, the Retirement Income Guarantee Plan of Xerox Corporation and The Xerographic Division, UNITE HERE, and these transactions qualify as party-in-interest. | ||
7. | Contingencies | |
In the normal course of business, the Plan enters into agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Plans maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Plan that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Plan expects the risk of loss to be remote. |

8. | Litigation | |
Patti v. Xerox Corporation et al | ||
A class was certified in an action originally filed in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut on July 1, 2002 against Xerox Corporation alleging violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Four additional class actions were subsequently filed and the five actions were later consolidated as In Re Xerox Corporation ERISA Litigation and a consolidated amended complaint was filed. The purported class includes all persons who invested or maintained investments in the Xerox Stock Fund in the Xerox 401(k) Plans during the proposed class period which begins on May 12, 1997 and allegedly exceeds 50,000 persons. The defendants include Xerox Corporation and the following individuals or groups of individuals: the plan administrator, the Board of Directors, the Fiduciary Investment Review Committee, the Joint Administrative Board, the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors, and the Treasurer. The complaint claims that all the foregoing defendants were fiduciaries of the Plans under ERISA and, as such, were obligated to protect the Plans assets and act in the best interest of plan participants. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants failed to do so and thereby breached their fiduciary duties. It does not specify the amount of damages sought. However, it asks that the losses to the Plan be restored. The actions also seek other legal and equitable relief, as well as interest, costs and attorneys fees. The defendants deny any wrongdoing and have filed a motion to dismiss the action. Defendants motion is still pending. |
