                                  THE COMPANY
 
     We are engaged in financing long-term accounts receivable arising out of
equipment sales by Xerox Corporation ("Xerox") to its Document Processing
customers throughout the United States. Contract terms on these accounts
receivable range primarily from two to five years. In 1990, we discontinued our
real-estate development and related real-estate financing businesses and our
third-party financing and leasing businesses.
 
     Pursuant to a Support Agreement between Xerox and us (the "Support
Agreement"), Xerox has agreed to retain 100% ownership of our voting capital
stock and make periodic payments to us to the extent necessary to ensure that
our annual pre-tax earnings available for fixed charges equal at least 1.25
times our fixed charges. The Support Agreement specifically provides that Xerox
is not directly or indirectly guaranteeing any of our indebtedness, liabilities
or obligations. The Support Agreement may not be terminated or modified while
any Debt Securities are outstanding. The calculation of annual earnings
available for fixed charges under the Support Agreement differs from the
calculation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges in the table below, which
has been calculated in accordance with the Regulations of the Commission. Under
the Support Agreement, the results of discontinued operations are included
whereas under the Commission's Regulations such results are excluded.
 
     We are a Delaware corporation with our principal executive offices located
at 100 First Stamford Place, P.O. Box 10347, Stamford, Connecticut 06904-2347,
telephone: (203) 325-6600. All of our outstanding capital stock is owned by
Xerox Financial Services, Inc., a holding company which is wholly-owned by
Xerox.
 
               RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES OF THE COMPANY
 
     The following table shows the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the
periods indicated.

- ---------------
(1) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed by dividing total
    earnings available for fixed charges by total fixed charges. Debt has been
    assigned to discontinued operations based on the net assets of the
    discontinued operations and the debt to equity ratios in accordance with our
    internal policy. Beginning in 1995, the amount of interest expense that
    would have been allocated to discontinued operations was insignificant and
    is therefore now being reported within continuing operations and included in
    the fixed charges. Discontinued operations consist of our third-party
    financing and real estate businesses.
 
                          INFORMATION CONCERNING XEROX
 
     Xerox Corporation is The Document Company and a leader in the global
document market, providing document solutions that enhance business
productivity. Xerox distributes its products in the Western Hemisphere through
divisions and wholly-owned subsidiaries. In Europe, Africa, the Middle East and
parts of Asia including India, China and Hong Kong, Xerox distributes through a
number of direct and indirect wholly-owned European subsidiaries. Fuji Xerox
Co., Limited, an unconsolidated entity jointly owned by Xerox Limited and Fuji
Photo Film Company Limited, develops, manufactures and distributes document
processing products in Japan and the Pacific Rim. Japan represents approximately
90 percent of Fuji Xerox revenues, and Australia, New Zealand, Singapore,
Malaysia and Korea represent the remaining 10 percent. Fuji Xerox conducts
business in other Pacific Rim countries through joint ventures and our
distributors. For the year ended December 31, 1998, Xerox' international
operations accounted for 48 percent of Document Processing revenues.

     In the past, Xerox engaged in Insurance and Other Financial Services
("IOFS") businesses. In 1993, however, Xerox announced its decision to sell or
otherwise disengage from these businesses. Since 1995, Xerox has sold all five
of the remaining Talegen Holdings, Inc. ("Talegen") insurance companies and
three related service companies, effectively completing its disengagement
strategy from the Talegen companies. The results of Xerox' Insurance operations
have been accounted for as discontinued operations and the Document Processing
business has been the only component of continuing operations since 1995.
 
     Xerox' Document Processing activities encompass developing, manufacturing,
marketing, servicing and financing a complete range of document processing
products and solutions designed to make offices around the world more
productive. Xerox helps customers make documents better, make better documents,
and work better with documents.
 
     Xerox creates customer value by providing innovative document technologies,
products, systems, services and solutions that allow its customers to:
 
     - Move easily within and between the electronic and paper forms of
       documents.
 
     - Scan, store, retrieve, view, revise and distribute documents
       electronically anywhere in the world.
 
     - Print or publish documents on demand, at the point closest to their
       needs, including those locations of our customers' customers.
 
     - Integrate the currently separate modes of producing documents, such as
       the data center, production publishing and office environments into a
       seamless, user-friendly enterprise-wide document systems network -- with
       technology acting as an enabler.
 
     Xerox offers its document processing customers financing of their purchases
of Xerox equipment primarily through Xerox Credit Corporation in the United
States, largely by wholly-owned financing subsidiaries in Europe, and through
divisions in Canada and Latin America. While competition for this business from
banks and other finance companies remains extensive, Xerox actively markets its
equipment financing services on the basis of customer service, convenience and
competitive rates. On average, 75 to 80 percent of equipment sales are financed
through Xerox.
 
     Xerox is a New York corporation with its principal executive offices
located at 800 Long Ridge Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06904, telephone (203)
968-3000.
 
                  RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES OF XEROX
 
     The following table shows the ratios of earnings to fixed charges of Xerox
for the periods indicated.

</TABLE>
 
- ---------------
(1) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed based on Xerox'
    continuing operations by dividing total earnings available for fixed
    charges, excluding capitalized interest and preferred stock dividends of
    subsidiaries, by total fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest,
    including capitalized interest and preferred stock dividends of
    subsidiaries, and one-third of rent expense as representative of the
    interest portion of rentals. Debt has been assigned to discontinued
    operations based on historical levels assigned to the businesses when they
    were continuing operations adjusted for subsequent paydowns. Discontinued
    operations consist of Xerox' Insurance, Other Financial Services and Third
    Party Financing and Real Estate businesses.
 
(2) Xerox' ratio of earnings to fixed charges includes the effect of its finance
    subsidiaries, which primarily finance Xerox equipment. Financing businesses
    are more highly leveraged and, therefore, tend to operate at lower earnings
    to fixed charges ratio levels than do nonfinancial businesses.
 
  * Excluding the effects of the charges recorded in connection with the 1998
    restructuring plan, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges would be 3.55.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     We expect to use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the debt
securities offered by this Prospectus and the accompanying prospectus
supplement(s) for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may
include:
 
     - the repayment of debt, and
 
     - investments in or extensions of credit to our subsidiaries or
       subsidiaries of Xerox.
 
The net proceeds may be invested temporarily or applied to repay short-term debt
until they are used for their stated purpose.
 
                          THE SECURITIES WE MAY OFFER
 
     This Prospectus is part of a shelf registration statement. Under this shelf
registration statement, we may offer from time to time up to $2,500,000,000 of
debt securities.
 
                       DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES
 
     We may offer unsecured general obligations, which may be senior (the
"Senior Debt Securities") or subordinated (the "Subordinated Debt Securities").
The Senior Debt Securities and the Subordinated Debt Securities are together
referred to in this prospectus as the "Debt Securities." The Senior Debt
Securities will have the same rank as all of our other unsecured, unsubordinated
debt. The Subordinated Debt Securities may be senior or junior to, or rank pari
passu with, our other subordinated obligations and will be entitled to payment
only after payment of our Senior Indebtedness (as described below). The
Subordinated Debt Securities will be effectively subordinated to our creditors
(including trade creditors).
 
     The Senior Debt Securities will be issued in one or more series under an
indenture dated as of April 1, 1999 between us and Citibank, N.A., as the
trustee (the "Trustee") (as may be amended, supplemented or modified from time
to time, the "Indenture"). The Subordinated Debt Securities will be issued under
an indenture to be entered into between us and the trustee named in the
prospectus supplement. We have summarized certain general features of the Debt
Securities from the indentures. We encourage you to read the indentures (which
are exhibits to the Registration Statement or, in the case of Subordinated Debt
Securities, will be filed with the Commission prior to the time we offer any
Subordinated Debt Securities) and our recent periodic and current reports that
we file with the Commission. The following summaries of certain provisions of
the indentures do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the
indentures and the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended
(the "TIA"). Capitalized terms used but not defined shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the indentures. References in parentheticals below to
sections or articles are to Sections or Articles of the Indenture.
 
     The following description of the terms of the Debt Securities sets forth
certain general terms and provisions of the Debt Securities to which any
prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the Debt Securities
offered by any prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which such
general provisions may apply to the Debt Securities will be described in the
related prospectus supplement. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of a
particular issue of Debt Securities, reference must be made to both the related
prospectus supplement and to the following description.
 
     The indentures do not contain any covenants or provisions which may afford
holders of Senior Debt Securities protection in the event that we engage in a
highly leveraged transaction. No such transaction is contemplated. See "The
Company" on page 3 of this Prospectus concerning Xerox' obligation to retain
 
                                        5

ownership of 100% of our voting capital stock and to make support payments to us
under certain circumstances.

                                        6

     One or more series of Debt Securities may be sold at a substantial discount
below their stated principal amount, bearing no interest or interest at a rate
which at the time of issuance is below market rates ("Discount Securities"). One
or more series of Debt Securities may be variable rate Debt securities that may
be exchanged for fixed rate Debt Securities. Federal income tax consequences and
special considerations applicable to any such series will be described in the
applicable prospectus supplement.
 
     Debt Securities may be issued where the amount of principal and/or interest
payable is determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates,
commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such securities
may receive a principal amount or a payment of interest that is greater than or
less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise payable on such dates,
depending upon the value of the applicable currencies, commodities, equity
indices or other factors. Information as to the methods for determining the
amount of principal or interest, if any, payable on any date, the currencies,
commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on such
date is linked and certain additional Federal income tax considerations will be
set forth in the prospectus supplement.
 
     The term "Debt Securities" includes Debt Securities denominated in U.S.
dollars or, if specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, in any other
freely transferable currency or units based on or relating to foreign
currencies.
 
     We expect most Debt Securities to be issued in fully registered form
without coupons and in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of
$1,000. (Section 3.02) Subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture and
in the prospectus supplement, Debt Securities which are issued in registered
form may be transferred or exchanged at the office of the transfer agent
maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or the Principal
Corporate Trust Office of the trustee, without the payment of any service
charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith. (Section 3.05)
 
GLOBAL SECURITIES
 
     We expect the following provisions to apply to all Debt Securities.
 
     The Debt Securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the
form of one or more Global Securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf
of, a depositary (the "Depositary") identified in the prospectus supplement.
Global Securities will be issued in registered form and in either temporary or
definitive form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the
individual Debt Securities, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a
whole by the Depositary for such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary
or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such
Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such
Depositary or a nominee of such successor. (Sections 3.01, 3.03 and 3.05)
 
     The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any Debt
Securities of a series and the rights of and limitations upon owners of
beneficial interests in a Global Security will be described in the prospectus
supplement. We expect that the following provisions will generally apply to
depositary arrangements.
 
     Upon the issuance of a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global
Security or its nominee will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer
system, the respective principal amounts of the individual Debt Securities
represented by such Global Security to the accounts of persons that have
accounts with such Depositary. Such accounts shall be designated by the dealers,
underwriters or agents with respect to the Debt Securities or by us if such Debt
Securities are offered and sold directly by us. Ownership of beneficial
interests in a Global Security will be limited to persons that have accounts
with the applicable Depositary ("participants") or persons that may hold
interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global
Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected
only through, records maintained by the applicable Depositary or its nominee
with respect to interests of participants and the records of participants with
respect to interests of persons other than participants. The laws of some states
require that certain purchasers of securities
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   9
 
take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and
such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global
Security.
 
     So long as the Depositary for a Global Security, or its nominee, is the
registered owner of a Global Security, such Depositary or such nominee, as the
case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Debt Securities
represented by that Global Security for all purposes under the indenture
governing those Debt Securities. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial
interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to have any of the
individual Debt Securities of the series represented by that Global Security
registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical
delivery of any Debt Securities of such series in definitive form and will not
be considered the owners or holders thereof under the indenture governing such
Debt Securities.
 
     Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on individual
Debt Securities represented by a Global Security registered in the name of a
Depositary or its nominee will be made to the Depositary or its nominee, as the
case may be, as the registered owner of the Global Security representing the
Debt Securities. Neither we, the trustee for the Debt Securities, any paying
agent (a "Paying Agent"), nor the Registrar for the Debt Securities will have
any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or
payments made by the Depositary or any participants on account of beneficial
ownership interests of the Global Security for the Debt Securities or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
ownership interests.
 
     We expect that the Depositary for a series of Debt Securities or its
nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium or interest in
respect of a permanent Global Security representing the Debt Securities,
immediately will credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts
proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount
of such Global Security for the Debt Securities as shown on the records of the
Depositary or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to
owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security held through such
participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices,
as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer
form or registered in "street name". Such payments will be the responsibility of
such participants.
 
     If the Depositary for a series of Debt Securities is at any time unwilling,
unable or ineligible to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not
appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue definitive Debt Securities of that
series in exchange for the Global Security or Securities representing that
series of Debt Securities. In addition, we may at any time and in our sole
discretion, subject to any limitations described in the prospectus supplement
relating to the Debt Securities, determine not to have any Debt Securities of a
series represented by one or more Global Securities, and, in such event, will
issue definitive Debt Securities of that series in exchange for the Global
Security or Securities representing that series of Debt Securities. If
definitive Debt Securities are issued, an owner of a beneficial interest in a
Global Security will be entitled to physical delivery of definitive Debt
Securities of the series represented by that Global Security equal in principal
amount to that beneficial interest and to have the Debt Securities registered in
its name. Definitive Debt Securities of any series so issued will be issued in
denominations, unless otherwise specified by us, of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000.
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT, NOTICE AND WAIVER
 
     Each indenture provides that, if an Event of Default in respect of any
series of Debt Securities shall have happened and be continuing, either the
trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
outstanding Debt Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or
a portion thereof in the case of certain Debt Securities issued with an original
issue discount) of all the Debt Securities of that series to be immediately due
and payable. (Section 7.02)
 
     Each indenture defines Events of Default in respect of any series of Debt
Securities as:
 
     - default for 30 days in payment of any interest installment when due,
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   10
 
     - default in payment of principal of or premium, if any, (including accrued
       original issue discount, in the case of certain Debt Securities of such
       issuer issued with original issue discount) on, or any sinking fund
       installment or analogous obligation with respect to, Debt Securities of
       such series when due,
 
     - default for 90 days after notice to us by the trustee or by the holders
       of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of
       such series in performance of any covenant in such indenture in respect
       of the Debt Securities of such series,
 
     - certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization, and any
       other Event of Default provided for with respect to the Debt Securities
       of such series. (Section 7.01)
 
     The TIA provides that the trustee will, within 90 days after the occurrence
of a default in respect of any series of Debt Securities, give to the holders of
that series notice of all uncured and unwaived defaults known to it; provided
that, except in the case of default in the payment of principal of, premium, if
any, or interest, if any, on, or any sinking fund installment or analogous
obligation with respect to, any of the Debt Securities of that series, the
trustee will be protected in withholding such notice if it in good faith
determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the holders
of that series. The term "default" for the purpose of this provision means any
event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event
of Default with respect to Debt Securities of such series.
 
     Each indenture provides that the holders of a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, subject to certain
limitations, direct the time, method and place of conducting proceedings for
remedies available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the trustee, in respect of the Debt Securities of that series. (Section 7.11)
 
     Each indenture contains provisions entitling the trustee, subject to the
duty of the trustee during an Event of Default in respect of any series of Debt
Securities to act with the required standard of care, to be indemnified by the
holders of the Debt Securities of that series before proceeding to exercise any
right or power under the indenture at the request of holders of those Debt
Securities. (Section 8.01)
 
     Each indenture includes covenants that we will file annually with the
trustee a certificate of no default, or specifying any default that exists.
(Section 5.04)
 
     In certain cases, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Debt Securities of a series may, on behalf of the holders of all
Debt Securities of that series, waive any past default or Event of Default, or
compliance with certain provisions of the indenture, except for defaults not
theretofore cured in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, or any sinking fund instalment or analogous obligation with respect
to, any of the Debt Securities of that series and compliance with certain
covenants. (Sections 5.07, 7.02 and 7.12)
 
     Each indenture provides that for purposes of calculating the principal
amount of Debt Securities of any series denominated in a foreign currency or in
units based on or relating to currencies thereunder, such principal amount shall
be deemed to be that amount of United States dollars that could be obtained for
such principal amount on the basis of a spot rate of exchange, specified to the
trustee by us in an Officers' Certificate, for such currency or currency units
into United States dollars as of the date of any such calculation. (Section
1.15)
 
MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE
 
     Each indenture contains provisions permitting us and the trustee, with the
consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Debt Securities of the affected series, to execute supplemental
indentures adding any provisions to or changing or eliminating any of the
provisions of the indenture or modifying the rights of the holders of Debt
Securities of that series. No supplemental
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   11
 
indenture may, without the consent of the Holders of all of the affected Debt
Securities, among other things:
 
     - change the maturity of any Debt Securities,
 
     - change the currency in which such Debt Securities are payable,
 
     - reduce the principal amount thereof or any premium thereon,
 
     - reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon,
 
     - change the method of computing the amount of principal thereof on any
       date, or
 
     - reduce the percentage of holders of Debt Securities which must consent to
       any such supplemental indenture. (Section 9.02)
 
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF THE INDENTURES; DEFEASANCE
 
     The indenture shall generally cease to be of any further effect with
respect to a series of Debt Securities if:
 
     - we have delivered to the trustee for cancellation all Debt Securities of
       that series (with certain limited exceptions) or
 
     - all Debt Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the
       trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by
       their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called
       for redemption within one year, and we shall have deposited with the
       trustee as trust funds the entire amount sufficient to pay at maturity or
       upon redemption all Debt Securities of that series (and if, in either
       case, we shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable under
       the Indenture by us in respect of all Debt Securities of that series and
       deliver to the trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of
       counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent in the indenture have
       been complied with). (Section 11.01)
 
     The trustee shall hold in trust all money deposited with it as described
above and shall apply the deposited money, in accordance with the provisions of
the Debt Securities of the defeased series and the indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent, as the trustee may determine, to
the Persons entitled thereto, of principal, premium, if any, and interest for
whose payment such money has been deposited with the trustee. (Section 11.02)
 
GOVERNING LAW
 
     Each indenture and the Debt Securities shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to
the principles thereof relating to conflicts of law (other than Section 5-1401
of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, and any successor
statute or statutes).
 
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE ONLY TO SENIOR DEBT SECURITIES
 
  RANKING
 
     The Senior Debt Securities will be unsecured obligations, and will rank
pari passu with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt.
 
  COVENANTS
 
     Limitations on Liens. So long as any of the Senior Debt Securities are
outstanding, we will not create or suffer to exist, or permit any of our
Subsidiaries to create or suffer to exist, any lien, security interest or other
charge or encumbrance, or any other type of preferential arrangement, upon or
with respect to any of our properties or the properties of our Subsidiaries
(other than "margin stock" as that term is defined in Regulation U issued by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), whether now owned
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   12
 
or hereafter acquired, or assign, or permit any of our Subsidiaries to assign,
any right to receive income, in each case to secure any Debt without making
effective provision whereby all of the Senior Debt Securities of each series
(together with, if we shall so determine, any of our other Debt or Debt of our
Subsidiaries then existing or thereafter created which is not subordinate to the
Senior Debt Securities) shall be equally and ratably secured with the
indebtedness or obligations secured by such security. We or our Subsidiaries may
create or suffer to exist any lien, security interest, charge, encumbrance or
preferential arrangement of any kind in, of or upon any of our properties or
assets or the property or assets of our Subsidiaries to secure any Debt or Debts
in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not greater than 20% of our
Consolidated Net Worth. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to any of the
following:
 
     - deposits, liens or pledges arising in the ordinary course of business to
       enable us or any of our Subsidiaries to exercise any privilege or license
       or to secure payments of workers' compensation or unemployment insurance,
       or to secure the performance of bids, tenders, contracts (other than for
       the payment of money) or statutory landlords' liens or to secure public
       or statutory obligations or surety, stay or appeal bonds, or other
       similar deposits or pledges made in the ordinary course of business;
 
     - liens imposed by law or other similar liens, if arising in the ordinary
       course of business, such as mechanic's, materialman's, workman's,
       repairman's or carrier's liens, or deposits or pledges in the ordinary
       course of business to obtain the release of such liens;
 
     - liens arising out of judgments or awards against us or any of our
       Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (a) 15%
       of the Consolidated Net Worth of Xerox or (b) the minimum amount which,
       if subtracted from such Consolidated Net Worth, would reduce such
       Consolidated Net Worth below $3.2 billion and, in each case, with respect
       to which we or our Subsidiary shall in good faith be prosecuting an
       appeal or proceedings for review, or liens for the purpose of obtaining a
       stay or discharge in the course of any legal proceedings;
 
     - liens for taxes if such taxes are not delinquent or thereafter can be
       paid without penalty, or are being contested in good faith by appropriate
       proceedings, or minor survey exceptions or minor encumbrances, easements
       or restrictions which do not in the aggregate materially detract from the
       value of the property so encumbered or restricted or materially impair
       their use in the operation of our business or that of any Subsidiary
       owning such property;
 
     - liens in favor of any government or department or agency thereof or in
       favor of a prime contractor under a government contract and resulting
       from the acceptance of progress or partial payments under government
       contracts or subcontracts thereunder;
 
     - liens, security interests, charges, encumbrances, preferential
       arrangements and assignments of income existing on the date of the
       Indenture;
 
     - purchase money liens or security interests in property acquired or held
       by us or by any Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business to secure
       the purchase price thereof or indebtedness incurred to finance the
       acquisition thereof;
 
     - liens or security interests existing on property at the time of its
       acquisition;
 
     - liens incurred (no matter when created) in connection with any leveraged
       or single investor lease transactions engaged in by us or any Subsidiary,
       provided that the instrument evidencing any borrowings secured by such
       lien shall provide that such borrowings are payable solely out of the
       income and proceeds of the property subject to such lien and are not our
       corporate obligation or that of any of our Subsidiaries;
 
     - the replacement, extension or renewal of any of the foregoing; and
 
     - liens on any of our assets or those of any Subsidiary of up to
       $500,000,000 incurred in connection with the sale or assignment of our
       assets or those of that Subsidiary for cash where the proceeds are
       applied to repayment of our Debt or that of that Subsidiary and/or
       invested by us or by that
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   13
 
       Subsidiary in assets which would be reflected as receivables on our
       balance sheet or the balance sheet of that Subsidiary. (Section 5.06)
 
     "Consolidated Net Worth" means, at any time, as to a given entity, the sum
of the amounts appearing on the latest consolidated balance sheet of such entity
and its Subsidiaries, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied, as:
 
        - the par or stated value of all outstanding capital stock (including
          preferred stock),
 
        - capital paid-in and earned surplus or earnings retained in the
          business plus or minus cumulative translation adjustments,
 
        - any unappropriated surplus reserves, and
 
        - any net unrealized appreciation of equity investments,
 
less treasury stock, plus, in the case of Xerox, $600,000,000.
 
     "Debt" means:
 
     - indebtedness for borrowed money or for the deferred purchase price of
       property or services (excluding trade accounts payable incurred in the
       ordinary course with a maturity of not greater than 90 days),
 
     - obligations as lessee under capital leases,
 
     - obligations under direct or indirect guaranties in respect of, and
       obligations (contingent or otherwise) to purchase or otherwise acquire,
       or otherwise to insure a creditor against loss in respect of,
       indebtedness or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in either
       of the immediately preceding bullet points, and
 
     - the amount of unfunded benefit liabilities, as defined in Section 4001
       (a)(18) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
       amended from time to time, and any successor statute or statute, under
       plans covered by Title IV thereof.
 
     "Subsidiary" means any corporation of which more than 50% of the
outstanding capital stock having ordinary voting power to elect a majority of
the Board of Directors of that corporation is at the time directly or indirectly
owned by us and which is organized and existing under the laws of any State of
the United States or the District of Columbia.
 
     CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE OF ASSETS. We shall not consolidate with or
merge into any other corporation or sell our assets substantially as an
entirety, unless:
 
     - the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which we are merged
       or the corporation which acquires our assets is Xerox or a corporation
       all of the voting capital stock of which is directly or indirectly owned
       by Xerox, is organized in the United States and expressly assumes the due
       and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest,
       if any, on all the Debt Securities and the performance of every covenant
       of the Indenture to be performed or observed by us; and
 
     - immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default,
       and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become
       an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing. (Section
       10.01)
 
Upon any such consolidation, merger or sale, the successor corporation formed by
such consolidation or into which we are merged or to which such sale is made
shall succeed to and be substituted for us under the Indenture. (Section 10.02)

  CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
 
     We may from time to time maintain credit facilities, and have other
customary banking relationships with Citibank, N.A., the Trustee under the
Indenture.
 
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE ONLY TO SUBORDINATED DEBT SECURITIES
 
     The Subordinated Debt Securities may be senior or junior to, or rank pari
passu with, our other subordinated obligations and will be subordinated to all
of our existing and future "Senior Indebtedness". Senior Indebtedness means,
without duplication, the principal, premium (if any) and unpaid interest on all
present and future:
 
     - indebtedness for borrowed money,
 
     - obligations evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or similar instruments,
 
     - all obligations under
 
        (x) interest rate swaps, caps, collars, options and similar
            arrangements,
 
        (y) any foreign exchange contract, currency swap contract, futures
            contract, currency option contract or other foreign currency hedge,
            and
 
        (z) credit swaps, caps, floors, collars and similar arrangements,
 
     - indebtedness incurred, assumed or guaranteed by us in connection with the
       acquisition by us or a subsidiary of any business, properties or assets

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
     We may sell the Securities being offered hereby in any one or more of the
following ways:
 
     - directly to investors,
 
     - to investors through agents,
 
     - to broker-dealers as principals,
 
     - through underwriting syndicates led by one or more managing underwriters
       as we may select from time to time, or
 
     - through one or more underwriters acting alone.
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   15
 
     If an underwriter or underwriters are utilized in the sale, the specific
managing underwriter or underwriters with respect to the offer and sale of the
offered securities are set forth on the cover of the prospectus supplement
relating to such offered securities and the members of the underwriting
syndicate, if any, are named in the prospectus supplement.
 
     Sales of the offered securities by underwriters may be in negotiated
transactions, at a fixed offering price or at various prices determined at the
time of sale. The prospectus supplement describes the method of reoffering by
the underwriters. The prospectus supplement also describes the discounts and
commissions to be allowed or paid to the underwriters, if any, all other items
constituting underwriting compensation, the discounts and commissions to be
allowed or paid to dealers, if any, and the exchanges, if any, on which the
securities offered thereby will be listed.
 
     We may authorize underwriters to solicit offers by certain institutions to
purchase Securities at the price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant
to Delayed Delivery Contracts providing for payment and delivery at a future
date.
 
     If any Securities are sold pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the
several underwriters will ordinarily agree, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth therein to purchase all the securities offered by the accompanying
prospectus supplement if any of such securities are purchased. In the event of
default by any underwriter, in certain circumstances, the purchase commitments
may be increased or the Underwriting Agreement may be terminated.
 
     Offers to purchase securities may be solicited directly by us or by agents
designated by us from time to time. Any such agent, who may be deemed to be an
underwriter as the term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"),
involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities in respect of which this
Prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by either of
the Issuers to such agent set forth, in a prospectus supplement. Any such agent
will ordinarily be acting on a best efforts basis.
 
     If a broker-dealer is utilized in the sale of the offered securities in
respect of which this Prospectus is delivered, we will sell such offered
securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell such offered
securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer at
the time of resale.
 
     Agents, broker-dealers or underwriters may be entitled under agreements
which may be entered into by us to indemnification or contribution in respect of
certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Act, and may be
customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the
ordinary course of business.
 
     The place and time of delivery for the offered securities in respect of
which this Prospectus is delivered are set forth in the accompanying prospectus
supplement.
 
     The offered securities may or may not be listed on a national securities
exchange. No assurances can be given that there will be a market for the offered
securities.
 
                                 LEGAL OPINIONS
 
     The validity of the Debt Securities to be offered will be passed upon by
Martin S. Wagner, Esq., Associate General Counsel, Corporate, Finance and
Ventures of Xerox. Certain legal matters in connection with the offerings
contemplated herein will be passed upon for the underwriters, agents or dealers,
as the case may be, by Cravath, Swaine & Moore, Worldwide Plaza, 825 Eighth
Avenue, New York, New York. Cravath, Swaine & Moore provides various legal

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.
 
     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
          (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of the
     securities registered hereby are being made, a post-effective amendment to
     the registration statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by
     section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "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
                                      II-2
<PAGE>   19
 
     fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
     statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
     volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
     offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
     the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
     reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
     Rule 42(b), if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
     no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
     forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
     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 paragraphs (i) and (ii) do
     not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
     amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
     Company pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
     Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration
     statement.
 
          (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 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 Act,
     each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or
     section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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.
 
          (5) The undersigned registrants hereby undertake to file an
     application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee
     to act under subsection (1) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in
     accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission
     under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, 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 Act
and is, therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

Gentlemen:

As Associate General Counsel, Corporate, Finance and Ventures of Xerox
Corporation, I am familiar with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Registration Statement"),
relating to the proposed offering and sale from time to time by Xerox Credit
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), of debt securities ("Debt
Securities") from which the Company may receive an aggregate of up to
$2,500,000,000 of proceeds and which will be offered on terms to be determined
at the time of sale. In rendering the opinions set forth herein, either I or
other attorneys in the Office of General Counsel of Xerox Corporation who report
either directly or indirectly to me have examined the Indenture dated as of
April 1, 1999, between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (the
"Indenture"), under which the Debt Securities are to be issued, the Company's
certificate of incorporation and by-laws, each as amended to date, certain
minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company and such other
documents and matters of law as have been considered necessary or desirable of
rendering the opinions set forth herein.

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 Delaware.

2. The Debt Securities, when duly authorized by appropriate corporate action and
   duly executed and authenticated, and when issued and delivered against
   payment therefor as described in the Registration Statement and a Prospectus
   Supplement, will be legally issued and validly and legally binding
   obligations of the Company and such Debt Securities will be entitled to the
   benefits of the Indenture under which they are issued.

I consent to the reference to my name under the caption "Legal Opinions" in the
Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement and to the filing of this
letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,

MARTIN S. WAGNER
Associate General Counsel,
Corporate, Finance and Ventures

- ----------

(1) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed by dividing
    total earnings available for fixed charges by total fixed charges.

(2) Debt has been assigned to discontinued operations based on the net 
    assets of the discontinued operations and the debt to equity ratios
    in accordance with our internal policy. Beginning in 1995, the amount of
    interest expense that would have been allocated to discontinued operations
    was insignificant and therefore is now being reported within continuing
    operations and included in the fixed charges. Discontinued operations
    consist of the Company's third-party financing and real estate businesses.

</TABLE>

(1) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed based on the
    Company's continuing operations by dividing total earnings available for
    fixed charges, excluding capitalized interest and preferred stock dividends
    of subsidiaries, by total fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest,
    including capitalized interest and preferred stock dividends of
    subsidiaries, and one-third of rent expense as representative of the
    interest portion of rentals. Debt has been assigned to discontinued
    operations based on historical levels assigned to the businesses when they
    were continuing operations, adjusted for subsequent paydowns. Discontinued
    operations consist of the Company's Insurance, Other Financial Services, and
    Third Party Financing and Real Estate businesses.

(2) The Company's ratio of earnings to fixed charges includes the effect of the
    Company's finance subsidiaries, which primarily finance Xerox equipment.
    Financing businesses are more highly leveraged and, therefore, tend to
    operate at lower earnings to fixed charges ratio levels than do
    non-financial businesses.

(3) The ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends has
    been computed upon earnings divided by fixed charges and preferred stock
    dividend requirements for the periods indicated.

  * Excluding the effects of the charges recorded in connection with the 1998
    restructuring plan, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges would be 3.55.

 ** Sum of "Income before Income Taxes, Equity Income and Minorities' Interests"
    and "Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates."

*** Excluding the effects of the charges recorded in connection with the 1998
    restructuring plan, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and
    preferred dividends would be 3.35.
