possessive form of nouns ending in "x"

Where a noun ends with the letter x, is it proper for the possessive form of the word to end with 's or simply ' ?



Example 1:





"It is Xerox' position that it owns the patent."



vs.



"It is Xerox's position that it owns the patent."




Example 2:





"The ox's tail was short."



vs.



"The ox' tail was short."
