                 A/A filed on February 25, 1994, under Section 12 of the

         statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

                 Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

                 Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

                 Under Ohio law, Ohio corporations are authorized to indemnify
         directors, officers, employees, and agents within prescribed limits
         and must indemnify them under certain circumstances.  Ohio law does
         not provide statutory authorization for a corporation to indemnify
         directors, officers, employees, and agents for settlements, fines, or
         judgments in the context of derivative suits.  However, it provides
         that directors (but not officers, employees, and agents) are entitled
         to mandatory advancement of expenses, including attorneys' fees,
         incurred in defending any action, including derivative actions,
         brought against the director, provided the director agrees to
         cooperate with the corporation concerning the matter and to repay the
         amount advanced if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that
         his act or failure to act was done with deliberate intent to cause
         injury to the corporation or with reckless disregard for the
         corporation's best interests.

                 Ohio law does not authorize payment of judgments to a
         director, officer, employee, or agent after a finding of negligence or
         misconduct in a derivative suit absent a court order.  Indemnification
         is required, however, to the extent such person succeeds on the
         merits.  In all other cases, if





                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>   4
         a director, officer, employee, or agent acted in good faith and in a
         manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
         best interests of the corporation, indemnification is discretionary
         except as otherwise provided by a corporation's articles, code of
         regulations, or by contract except with respect to the advancement of
         expenses of directors.

                 Under Ohio law, a director is not liable for monetary damages
         unless it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that his or her
         action or failure to act was undertaken with deliberate intent to
         cause injury to the corporation or with reckless disregard for the
         best interests of the corporation.  There is, however, no comparable
         provision limiting the liability of officers, employees, or agents of
         a corporation.  The statutory right to indemnification is not
         exclusive in Ohio, and Ohio corporations may, among other things,
         procure insurance for such persons.

                 The Corporation's Regulations provide that the Corporation
         shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made
         or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding by
         reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, or
         employee of the Corporation or of any other bank, corporation,
         partnership, trust, or other enterprise for which he or she was
         serving as a director, officer, or employee at the request of the
         Corporation.

                 The Corporation is a party to Employment Agreements with,
         respectively, Victor J. Riley, Jr., Robert W. Gillespie, and Roger
         Noall, and the Corporation is a party to Change of Control Agreements
         with certain other executive officers (the provisions of which became
         effective as a result of the merger of the former KeyCorp with and
         into Society Corporation), pursuant to which the Corporation has
         agreed to indemnify the officer, to the full extent permitted or
         authorized by Ohio law, if the officer is made or threatened to be
         made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the
         officer's serving as an employee, officer, or director of the
         Corporation and/or any of its subsidiaries or any other company at the
         request of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, and the
         Corporation has agreed to advance expenses incurred by the officer in
         defending any such action, suit, or proceeding.

                 Except as stated above, neither the Amended and Restated
         Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation nor any other contract or
         arrangement to which the Corporation is a party provides for such
         indemnification.  Under the terms of the Corporation's directors' and
         officers' liability and company reimbursement insurance policy,
         directors and officers of the Corporation are insured against certain
         liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
         1933.

                 Not applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

                 See Index to Exhibits.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         A.      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 of
                          1933; (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; (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) do not apply if the Registration
                          Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the
                          information required to be included in a
                          post-effective amendment by those clauses is
                          contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished
                          to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
                          Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
                          Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
                          reference in the Registration Statement.

                 (2)      That, for the purpose of determining any liability
                          under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.

         B.      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
                 purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
                 of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report
                 pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the





                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   6
                 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
                 filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
                 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.

         C.      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
                 Securities Act of 1933 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 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

        Gentlemen:

                      As counsel for KeyCorp (the "Company"), we
        are familiar with the Registration Statement on Form S-8
        (the "Registration Statement") to be filed by the Company
        with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
        "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
        with respect to 400,000 additional KeyCorp Common Shares,
        $1 par value each (the "Shares"), to be registered in
        connection with the Company's Discounted Stock Purchase
        Plan (formerly known as the Employees' Stock Purchase Plan
        and referred to herein as the "Plan").

                      In connection with the foregoing, we have
        examined the following:

                      1.  The Amended and Restated Articles of
        Incorporation and the Regulations of the Company, both as
        amended to date;

                      2.  The records relating to the organization
        of the Company and such other records of corporate
        proceedings and such other documents as we deemed necessary
        to examine as a basis for the opinions hereinafter
        expressed;

                      3.  The Registration Statement (including
        Exhibits thereto) to be filed with the Commission; and

                      4.  Copies of the Plan, and the records of
        the proceedings of the Board of Directors of the Company
        relating to the adoption and approval thereof.

                      Based upon such examination, we are of the
        opinion that:
