Dear Sirs:
KeyCorp, an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), confirms its agreement
with each of you with respect to the issue and sale from time to time by the
Company of its Senior Medium-Term Notes, Series C and Subordinated Medium-Term
Notes, Series B due 9 months or more from date of issue (the "Notes") in an
<PAGE> 2

aggregate initial offering price of up to $750,000,000 (or the equivalent
thereof in one or more foreign currencies or composite currencies), as such
amount shall be reduced by the aggregate initial offering price of any other
debt securities issued by the Company, whether within or without the United
States ("Other Securities") pursuant to the registration statement referred to
below, and agrees with each of you (individually, an "Agent", and collectively,
the "Agents", which term shall include any additional agents appointed pursuant
to Section 13 hereof) as set forth in this Agreement. The Notes may be issued
as senior indebtedness (the "Senior Notes") or as subordinated indebtedness (the
"Subordinated Notes") of the Company. The Senior Notes will be issued under an
indenture, dated as of June 10, 1994 (as the same may be supplemented or
amended from time to time, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Company and
Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Senior Trustee"), and the Subordinated
Notes will be issued under an indenture, dated as of June 10, 1994 (as the
same may be supplemented or amended from time to time, the "Subordinated
Indenture"), between the Company and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee (the
"Subordinated Trustee"). The Senior Indenture and Subordinated Indenture are
herein sometimes collectively referred to individually as an "Indenture" and
collectively as "Indentures" and the Senior Trustee and Subordinated Trustee are
herein sometimes collectively referred to individually as a "Trustee" and
collectively as the "Trustees". Wherever the terms "Indenture" and "Trustee"
are used with respect to a specific issuance of Notes they shall mean the Senior
Indenture and Senior Trustee, in the case of an issuance of unsecured and
unsubordinated Notes, and the Subordinated Indenture and Subordinated Trustee,
in the case of an issuance of unsecured and subordinated Notes. The Notes shall
have the maturities, interest rates, redemption provisions, if any, and other
terms set forth in the supplement to the Basic Prospectus referred to below.
The Notes will be issued, and the terms and rights thereof established, from
time to time by the Company in accordance with the Indenture.
On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained,
but subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and to the reservation by
the Company of the right to sell Notes directly to investors (other than broker-
dealers, except as provided in Section 2(a)) on its own behalf, the Company
hereby (i) appoints the Agents as the agents of the Company for the purpose of
soliciting and receiving offers to purchase Notes from the Company by others
pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof and (ii) agrees that, except as otherwise
contemplated herein, whenever it determines to sell Notes directly to any Agent
as principal, it will enter into a separate agreement (each such agreement a
"Terms Agreement"), substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, relating to
such sale in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof.
The Company has prepared and filed a registration statement on Form
S-3 (No. 58405), including a prospectus, relating to the Notes with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the "Securities Act").
The Company also has filed with, or proposes to file with, the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act
<PAGE> 3

supplements to the Basic Prospectus included in the Registration Statement that
will describe certain terms of the Notes. The Registration Statement, including
the exhibits thereto, as amended to the Commencement Date (as hereinafter
defined) is hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement" and the
prospectus in the form in which it appears in the Registration Statement is
hereinafter referred to as the "Basic Prospectus". The Basic Prospectus as
supplemented by the prospectus supplement or supplements (each a "Prospectus
Supplement") specifically relating to the Notes in the form filed with, or
transmitted for filing to, the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the
Securities Act is hereinafter referred to as the "Prospectus". Any reference in
this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any
preliminary form of Prospectus (a "preliminary prospectus") previously filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 or the Prospectus shall be deemed to
refer to and include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein
pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act which were filed under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the "Exchange Act") on or before the
date of this Agreement or the date of the Basic Prospectus, any preliminary
prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference to "amend",
"amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Registration Statement, the
Basic Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, including any
supplement to the Prospectus that sets forth only the terms of a particular
issue of the Notes (a "Pricing Supplement"), shall be deemed to refer to and
include any documents filed under the Exchange Act after the date of this
Agreement, or the date of the Basic Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or
the Prospectus, as the case may be, which are deemed to be incorporated by
reference therein.

2. Solicitations as Agent; Purchases as Principal. (a)
----------------------------------------------
Solicitations as Agent. On the basis of the representations and warranties
- ----------------------
herein contained, but subject to
<PAGE> 7
7
the terms and conditions herein set forth, each of the Agents hereby severally
and not jointly agrees, as agent of the Company, to use its reasonable efforts
to solicit offers to purchase the Notes from the Company upon the terms and
conditions set forth in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented from time to
time. So long as this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to any
Agent, the Company shall not, without the consent of such Agent, solicit or
accept offers to purchase, or sell, Notes or any other debt securities with a
maturity at the time of original issuance of 9 months or more except pursuant
to this Agreement and any Terms Agreement, or except pursuant to a private
placement not constituting a public offering under the Securities Act or except
in connection with a firm commitment underwriting pursuant to an underwriting
agreement that does not provide for a continuous offering of medium-term debt
securities. However, the Company reserves the right to sell, and may solicit
and accept offers to purchase, Notes directly on its own behalf to investors
(other than broker-dealers, except to the extent set forth in the next
succeeding sentence). The Company may also sell Notes to an Agent acting as
principal for its own account or for resale to one or more investors. The
Company may from time to time offer Notes for sale otherwise than through an
Agent; provided, however, that so long as this Agreement shall be in effect the
Issuer shall not solicit or accept offers to purchase Notes through any agent
other than an Agent without amending this Agreement to appoint such agent an
additional Agent hereunder on the same terms and conditions as provided herein
for the Agents and without giving the Agents prior notice of such appointment;
except, that if from time to time the Company is approached by a prospective
agent offering to solicit a specific purchase of Notes, the Company may engage
such agent with respect to such specific purchase, only if, (i) such agent is
engaged on terms substantially similar (including the same commission schedule
as set forth herein) to the applicable terms of this Agreement (without being
required to become a party hereto) and (ii) the Agents are given notice of such
purchase promptly, in each case after the purchase is agreed to.
The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to instruct
the Agents to suspend at any time, for any period of time or permanently, the
solicitation of offers to purchase Notes. Upon receipt of at least one business
day's prior notice from the Company, each Agent will suspend solicitation of
offers to purchase Notes from the Company until such time as the Company has
advised such Agent or Agents that such solicitation may be resumed. During the
period of time that such solicitation is suspended, the Company shall not be
required to deliver any opinions, letters or certificates in accordance with
Sections 4(i), 4(j) and 4(k); provided that if the Registration Statement or
Prospectus is amended or supplemented during the period of suspension (other
than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest
rates, redemption provisions, amortization schedules or maturities offered for
the Notes or for a change that the Agents deem to be immaterial), no Agent shall
be required to resume soliciting offers to purchase Notes until the Company has
delivered such opinions, letters and certificates as such Agent may request.
The Company agrees to pay each Agent, as consideration for the sale of
each Note resulting from a solicitation made or an offer to purchase received by
such Agent, a
<PAGE> 8

commission in the form of a discount from the purchase price of such Note in an
amount equal to the following applicable percentage of the principal amount of
such Note sold:

</TABLE>
The Agents are authorized to solicit offers to purchase Notes only in
the principal amount of $100,000 (or, in the case of Notes not denominated in
U.S. dollars, the equivalent thereof in the applicable foreign currency or
composite currency, rounded down to the nearest 1,000 units of such foreign
currency or composite currency) or any amount in excess thereof which is an
integral multiple of $1,000 (or, in the case of Notes not denominated in U.S.
dollars, 1,000 units of such foreign currency or composite currency). Each
Agent shall communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each offer to
purchase Notes received by such Agent as agent that in its judgment should be
considered by the Company. The Company shall have the sole right to accept
offers to purchase the Notes and may reject any such offer in whole or in part.
Each Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any offer to
purchase Notes, as a whole or in part, that it considers to be unacceptable and
any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of its agreements herein
contained. The procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of Notes
sold by an Agent as agent and the payment therefor are set forth in the
Administrative Procedures (as hereinafter defined).
(b) Purchase as Principal. Each sale of Notes to any Agent as
---------------------
principal shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
(unless such Agent shall otherwise agree) a Terms Agreement which will provide
for the sale of such Notes to, and
<PAGE> 9
9
the purchase and reoffering thereof by, such Agent. Each Terms Agreement will
take the form of Exhibit A hereto but may take the form of either (i) a written
agreement between you and the Company which may be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto or (ii) an oral agreement between you and the Company confirmed
in writing by you to the Company.
The commitment of any Agent to purchase Notes as principal, whether
pursuant to any Terms Agreement or otherwise, shall be deemed to have been made
on the basis of the representations and warranties (made or deemed to have been
made as of the date of the Terms Agreement and as of the Time of Delivery (as
defined below)) of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Terms Agreement.
Each Terms Agreement by an Agent to purchase Notes as principal (pursuant to a
Terms Agreement or otherwise) shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be
purchased by such Agent pursuant thereto, the price to be paid to the Company
for such Notes, the maturity date of such Notes, the interest rate or interest
rate basis, if any, applicable to such Notes, any other terms of such Notes, the
time and date and place of delivery of and payment for such Notes (the time and
date of any and each such delivery and payment, the "Time of Delivery"), any
provisions relating to rights of, and default by, underwriters acting together
with such Agent in the reoffering of Notes, and shall also specify any
requirements for opinions of counsel, accountants' letters and officers'
certificates pursuant to Section 4 hereof. Unless otherwise specified in a
Terms Agreement, the procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of
Notes purchased by an Agent as principal and the payment therefore shall be as
set forth in the Administrative Procedures.
Unless otherwise specified in a Terms Agreement, if you are purchasing
Notes as principal you may resell such Notes to other dealers or to investors
and other purchasers. Any such sales to other dealers may be at a discount,
which shall not exceed the amount set forth in the Prospectus Supplement
relating to such Notes. Any such sales to investors and other purchasers may be
at prevailing market prices, or prices related thereto at the time of such
resale, at negotiated prices or otherwise, as determined by the Agent.
(c) Obligations Several. The Company acknowledges that the
-------------------
obligations of the Agents are several and not joint and, subject to the
provisions of this Section 2, each Agent shall have complete discretion as to
the manner in which it solicits purchasers for the Notes and as to the identity
thereof.
(d) Administrative Procedures. The Agents and the Company agree to
-------------------------
perform their respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be
performed in the Medium-Term Notes Administrative Procedures (the
"Administrative Procedures") attached hereto as Exhibit B, as the same may be
amended from time to time. The Administrative Procedures may be amended only by
written agreement of the Company and the Agents.

3. Commencement Date. The documents required to be delivered
-----------------
pursuant to Section 6 hereof on the Commencement Date (as defined below) or as
a condition precedent to your obligation to begin soliciting offers to
purchase Notes as agent of the Company shall be delivered to the Agents at the
offices of Shearman & Sterling, 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York, at
11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date of this Agreement, which date and
time of such delivery may be postponed by agreement between the Agents and the
Company but in no event shall be later than the day prior to the date on which
solicitation of offers to purchase Notes is commenced or the first date on
which the Company accepts an offer by any Agent to purchase Notes as principal
(such time and date being referred to herein as the "Commencement Date").
4. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees
------------------------
with each Agent:
(a) (i) To make no amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus prior to the termination of the offering of the
Notes pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement which shall be
reasonably disapproved by any Agent after reasonable opportunity to comment
thereon, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any of
the Company's periodic filings with the Commission described in subsection
(iii) below, copies of which filings the Company will cause to be delivered
to the Agents promptly after their transmission to the Commission for
filing; (ii) subject to the foregoing clause (i), promptly to cause each
Prospectus Supplement to be filed with or transmitted for filing to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and to
prepare, with respect to any Notes to be sold through or to such Agent
pursuant to this Agreement, a Pricing Supplement with respect to such Notes
in a form previously approved by such Agent and to file such Pricing
Supplement in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act; and
(iii) promptly to file all reports and any definitive proxy or information
statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant
to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for so long as the
delivery of a prospectus is required in connection with the offering or
sale of the Notes. The Company will promptly advise each Agent (i) of the
filing of any amendment or supplement to the Basic Prospectus or any
amendment to the Registration Statement and of the effectiveness of any
such amendment to the Registration Statement, (ii) of the receipt of any
comments from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement,
the Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, (iii) of the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement, of the suspension of the qualification of the Notes
for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the institution or threatening
of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission
for any amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or Prospectus
or for additional information relating thereto or to any document
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus; and (iv) of the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to any suspension of the
qualification of the Notes for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the
<PAGE> 11
11
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose. The
Company agrees to use every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of
any such stop order or of any order suspending any such qualification
and, if issued, to use every reasonable effort to obtain the lifting
thereof at the earliest possible moment. If the Basic Prospectus is
amended or supplemented as a result of the filing under the Exchange Act
of any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, no Agent
shall be obligated to solicit offers to purchase Notes so long as it is
not reasonably satisfied with such document.
(b) To use its reasonable best efforts to qualify the Notes for offer
and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the
Agents shall reasonably request and to continue such qualification in
effect so long as reasonably required in connection with the distribution
of the Notes and to pay all fees and expenses (including fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Agents) reasonably incurred in connection
with such qualification and in connection with the determination of the
eligibility of the Notes for investment under the laws of such
jurisdictions as such Agent may reasonably designate; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to file a general consent to service
of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in
securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to
subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction
in which it is not otherwise so subject. The Company will file such
statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each jurisdiction
in which the Notes have been qualified as above provided.
(c) To furnish each Agent and counsel to the Agents, at the expense
of the Company, a signed copy of the Registration Statement (as originally
filed) and each amendment thereto, in each case including exhibits and
documents incorporated by reference therein and, during the period
mentioned in paragraph (d) below, to furnish each Agent as many copies of
the Prospectus (including all amendments and supplements thereto) and
documents incorporated by reference therein as such Agent may reasonably
request.
(d) If at any time when a prospectus relating to the Notes is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event shall occur as
a result of which, in the opinion of counsel for the Agents or counsel for
the Company, the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or, if in the
opinion of the Agents or the Company, it is necessary at any time to amend
or supplement the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, to comply
with law, to immediately notify the Agents by telephone (with confirmation
in writing) and request each Agent (i) in its capacity as agent of the
Company, to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Notes from the
Company (and, if so notified, such Agent shall cease such solicitations and
cease using the Prospectus as soon as practicable, but in
<PAGE> 12
12
any event not later than one business day later); and (ii) to cease sales
of any Notes such Agent may then own as principal. If the Company shall
decide to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, it shall so advise each
Agent promptly by telephone (with confirmation in writing) and, at its
expense, shall prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the Commission
an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, reasonably satisfactory in
all respects to the Agents, that will correct such statement or omission
or effect such compliance and will supply such amended or supplemented
Prospectus to the Agents in such quantities as you may reasonably
request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is incorrect information
in the written information furnished by the Agent or Agents to the Company
for use in the Prospectus and if such Prospectus is required to be
reprinted, then the expense of reprinting such Prospectus shall be borne,
severally, by the Agent or Agents who shall have furnished such incorrect
information. If any such amendment or supplement and any documents,
opinions, letters and certificates furnished to the Agents pursuant to
Sections 4(e), 4(i), 4(j) and 4(k) in connection with the preparation and
filing of such amendment or supplement are reasonably satisfactory in all
respects to the Agents, upon the filing with the Commission of such
amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or upon the effectiveness of an
amendment to the Registration Statement, the Agents will resume the
solicitation of offers to purchase Notes hereunder. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 4(d), until the distribution of any Notes
any Agent may own as principal has been completed or in the event such
Agent, in the opinion of its counsel, is otherwise required to deliver a
prospectus in respect of a transaction in the Notes, if any event
described in this Section 4(d) occurs the Company will, at its own
expense, promptly prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or
supplement, satisfactory in all respects to such Agent; that will correct
such statement or omission or effect such compliance, will supply such
amended or supplemented Prospectus to such Agent in such quantities as
such Agent may reasonably request and shall furnish to such Agent pursuant
to Sections 4(e), 4(i), 4(j) and 4(k) such documents, certificates,
opinions and letters as it may request in connection with the preparation
and filing of such amendment or supplement.
(e) To furnish to the Agents during the term of this Agreement such
relevant documents and certificates of officers of the Company relating to
the business, operations and affairs of the Company, the Registration
Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any amendments or supplements thereto, the
Indentures, the Notes, this Agreement, the Administrative Procedures, any
applicable Terms Agreement and the performance by the Company of its
obligations hereunder or thereunder as the Agents may from time to time
reasonably request and shall notify the Agents promptly in writing of any
downgrading, or on its receipt of any notice of (i) any intended or
potential downgrading or (ii) any review or possible change that does not
indicate an improvement in the rating accorded any of the securities of, or
guaranteed by, the
<PAGE> 13
13
Company by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization,"
as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the
Securities Act.
(f) To make generally available to its security holders and to such
Agent as soon as practicable but not later than 90 days after the close of
the period covered thereby earnings statements which shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the
Commission promulgated thereunder covering periods of at least twelve
months beginning in each case with the first day of the fiscal quarter of
the Company occurring after the "effective date" (as defined in Rule 158)
of the Registration Statement with respect to each sale of Notes.
(g) So long as any Notes are outstanding, to furnish to such Agent
copies of all reports or other communications (financial or other)
furnished to holders of the Notes and copies of all annual reports,
quarterly reports and current reports filed with the Commission on Forms
10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, or such other similar forms as may be designated by the
Commission, and all material reports or other communications (financial or
other) furnished to or filed with any national securities exchange on which
any class of securities of the Company is listed.
(h) That, from the date of any applicable Terms Agreement with such
Agent or other agreement by such Agent to purchase Notes as principal with
a maturity of one year or longer and continuing to and including the
business day following the related Time of Delivery, not to offer, sell,
contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of or
guaranteed by the Company which are denominated in the same currency as
such Notes and with a maturity of one year or longer, without the prior
written consent of such Agent.
(i) That each time the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall
be amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment or supplement
providing solely for a change in the interest rates, redemption provisions,
amortization schedules or maturities offered on the Notes or for a change
the Agents deem to be immaterial) and each time the Company sells Notes to
such Agent as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement or other agreement
and such Terms Agreement or other agreement specified the delivery of an
opinion under this Section 4(i) as a condition to the purchase of Notes
pursuant to such Terms Agreement or other agreement, the Company shall
furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to such Agent a written opinion
of Thompson, Hine and Flory, and/or the General Counsel or any Senior
Managing Counsel to the Company, dated the date of such amendment or
supplement, or the related Time of Delivery relating to such sale, as the
case may be, in form satisfactory to such Agent, of the same tenor as the
opinion referred to in Section 6(b) hereof but modified to relate to the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to
the date of such opinion, or, in lieu of such opinion, counsel last
furnishing such an opinion, may furnish to the Agents a letter to the
effect that such Agent may rely on the opinion of such counsel which was
last
<PAGE> 14
14
furnished to such Agent to the same extent as though it were dated the
date of such letter (except that the statements in such last opinion
shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus as amended or supplemented to date of delivery of such
letter).
(j) That each time the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall
be amended or supplemented to include or incorporate amended or
supplemented financial information and each time the Company sells Notes to
such Agent as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement or other agreement
and such Terms Agreement or other agreement specifies the delivery of a
letter under this Section 4(j) as a condition to the purchase of Notes
pursuant to such Terms Agreement or other agreement, the Company shall
cause the independent certified public accountants who have certified the
financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries included or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement forthwith to
furnish such Agent a letter, dated the date of such amendment or supplement
or the related Time of Delivery relating to such sale, as the case may be,
of the same tenor as the letter referred to in Section 6(d) hereof but
modified to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as
amended or supplemented to the date of such letter with such changes as may
be necessary to reflect such amended or supplemented financial information
included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus as amended or supplemented, provided, however, that, with
respect to any financial information or other matter, such letter may
reconfirm as true and correct at such date, as though made at and as of
such date, rather than repeat, statements with respect to such financial
information or other matter made in the letter referred to in Section 6(d)
hereof which was last furnished to such Agent.
(k) That each time the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall
be amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment or supplement
providing solely for a change in the interest rates, redemption provisions,
amortization schedules or maturities offered on the Notes or for a change
the Agents deem to be immaterial), and each time the Company sells Notes to
such Agent as principal and the applicable Terms Agreement or other
agreement specifies the delivery of a certificate under this Section 4(k)
as a condition to the purchase of Notes pursuant to such Terms Agreement or
other agreement, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished
forthwith to such Agent a certificate signed by an executive officer of the
Company, dated the date of such amendment or supplement or the related Time
of Delivery relating to such sale, as the case may be, of the same tenor as
the certificates referred to in Section 6(e) but modified to relate to the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to
the date of delivery of such certificate or to the effect that the
statements contained in the certificate referred to in Section 6(e) hereof
which was last furnished to such Agent are true and correct at such date as
though made at and as of such date (except that such statements shall be
deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as
amended or supplemented to such date).

----------
Company, at any time ("Solicitation Time") to solicit offers to purchase the
Notes, the obligation of any Agent to purchase Notes as principal pursuant to
any Terms Agreement or otherwise, and the obligation of any other purchaser to
purchase Notes shall in each case be subject (1) to the condition that all

provisions hereof are accurate (i) in the case of an Agent's obligation to
solicit offers to purchase Notes, at and as of such Solicitation Time and (ii)
in the case of any Agent's or any other purchaser's obligation to purchase

of purchase; (2) to the condition that at or prior to such Solicitation Time,
time of acceptance, Time of Delivery or time of purchase, as the case may be,

rating organization", as that term is defined by the Commission for
purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act;

taken as a whole; and all of the outstanding shares of capital stock
of each of the National Banks and the State Banks have been duly
authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable

(vi) The issue and sale of the Notes and the performance by the
Company of its obligations under the Notes, the Indenture, this
Agreement and any applicable Terms Agreement or other agreement

rule or regulation, any agreement or instrument known to such counsel
to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, the Company's
Articles of Incorporation or Regulations, or any order known to such

<PAGE> 19
19
Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been
instituted or threatened by the Commission.
(ix) Such counsel is of the opinion ascribed to it in the
Prospectus under the caption "United States Federal Taxation", if any.
(x) Such counsel (A) is of the opinion that the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus each as amended or supplemented on the
Commencement Date or the applicable Time of Delivery (except for the
financial statements and other financial and statistical data included
therein or omitted therefrom and the Statement of Eligibility (Form T-
1) under the Trust Indenture Act of the Trustee as to which such
counsel need express no opinion) complied as to form in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act and the respective rules thereunder, (B) has no reason to believe
that (except for the financial statements or other financial and
statistical data included therein or omitted therefrom and the
Statement of Eligibility (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of
the Trustee as to which such counsel need express no belief) each part
of the Registration Statement, as amended (including the documents
incorporated by reference therein), filed with the Commission pursuant
to the Securities Act relating to the Notes, when such part became
effective and, as of the date such opinion is delivered, contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, (C) has no reason to believe that (except for
the financial statements and other financial and statistical data
included therein or omitted therefrom and the Statement of Eligibility
(Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of the Trustee as to which
such counsel need express no belief) the Prospectus, as amended or
supplemented, if applicable, as of the date such opinion is delivered
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading and (D) does not know of any amendment to the Registration
Statement required to be filed which is not filed as required;
provided that in the case of an opinion delivered on the Commencement
Date or pursuant to Section 4(i) (other than in connection with a
Terms Agreement), the opinion and belief set forth in clauses (A) and
(C) above shall be deemed not to cover information concerning an
offering of particular Notes to the extent such information will be
set forth in a supplement to the Basic Prospectus.
Such opinion or opinions shall be to such further effect with respect
to other legal matters relating to this Agreement, and the sale of the
Notes, pursuant to this Agreement as counsel for the Agents may reasonably
request. Such opinion or opinions shall be limited to New York, Ohio,
Washington and federal law and, if
<PAGE> 20
20
applicable, the law of the state of incorporation of any other Significant
Subsidiary. In giving such opinion, such counsel may rely, as to all
matters governed by the laws of jurisdictions in which such counsel is not
qualified and the federal law of the United States, upon opinions of other
counsel, who shall be counsel satisfactory to counsel for the Agents, in
which case the opinion shall state that they believe you and they are
entitled to so rely. Such counsel may also state that, insofar as such
opinion involves factual matters, they have relied, to the extent they deem
proper, upon certificates of officers of the Company, the National Banks
and the State Banks and the Significant Subsidiaries and certificates of
public officials.
In rendering their opinion, such counsel may rely upon the opinion of
Shearman & Sterling referred to below as to any matters governed by New
York law covered therein.
(c) On the Commencement Date, and in the case of a purchase of Notes
by an Agent as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement or otherwise, if
called for by the applicable Terms Agreement or other agreement, at the
corresponding Time of Delivery, Shearman & Sterling, counsel to the Agents,
shall have furnished to the relevant Agent or Agents such opinion or
opinions, dated the Commencement Date or Time of Delivery, as the case may
be, to the effect that the opinion delivered pursuant to Section 6(b)
appears on its face to be appropriately responsive to the requirements of
this Agreement and with respect to the incorporation of the Company, the
validity of the Indenture, the securities, the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus as amended or supplemented and other related matters as such
Agent or Agents may reasonably request, and in each case such counsel shall
have received such papers and information as they may reasonably request to
enable them to pass upon such matters. In rendering their opinion, such
counsel may rely upon the opinion rendered on behalf of the Company
referred to above as to all matters of Ohio law.
(d) On the Commencement Date, and in the case of a purchase of Notes
by an Agent as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement or otherwise, if
called for by the applicable Terms Agreement or other agreement, at the
corresponding Time of Delivery, the Company's independent certified public
accountants who have certified the financial statements of the Company and
its subsidiaries included or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement and Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, shall have
furnished to the relevant Agent or Agents a letter, dated the Commencement
Date or Time of Delivery, as the case may be to the effect set forth in
Annex I hereto.
(e) On the Commencement Date, and in the case of a purchase of Notes
by an Agent as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement or otherwise, if
called for by the applicable Terms Agreement or other agreement, at the
corresponding Time of Delivery, the relevant Agent or Agents shall have
received from the Company a certificate or certificates signed by the
Chairman of the Board, the President or an
<PAGE> 21
21
Executive Vice President, and by the principal financial or accounting
officer, dated the Commencement Date or Time of Delivery, as the case may
be, to the effect that, to the best of their knowledge based upon
reasonable investigation (1) the representations and warranties of the
Company contained herein are true and correct on and as of the Commencement
Date or Time of Delivery, as the case may be, as if made on and as of such
date, and the Company has complied with all agreements and all conditions
on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder or under the applicable
Terms Agreement or other agreement at or prior to the Commencement Date or
Time of Delivery, as the case may be, and (2) no stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, and no
proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or is threatened by the
Commission.
(f) On the Commencement Date and at each Time of Delivery, the
Company shall have furnished to the relevant Agent or Agents such further
certificates and documents as such Agent or Agents may reasonably request.
All such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents will be in
compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are satisfactory in form
and substance to the relevant Agent or Agents. The Company will furnish
the relevant Agent or Agents with such conformed copies of such opinions,
certificates, letters and other documents as the relevant Agent or Agents
shall reasonably request.
7. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company will
--------------------------------
indemnify and hold harmless each Agent against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which such Agent may become subject, under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
part of the Registration Statement when such part became effective, any
preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or any other prospectus with respect to the Notes, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and will reimburse each Agent for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending against such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided,
however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent
that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by you, or by any Agent through you, specifically for
use therein and (ii) such indemnity with respect to any Preliminary Prospectus
shall not inure to the benefit of any Agent (or any person controlling such
Agent) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such
Agent results from the fact that such Agent sold Notes to a person as to whom it
shall be established that there was not sent or given, at or prior to the
written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the Prospectus (excluding documents
incorporated by reference) or of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented
(excluding documents incorporated by reference) in any case
<PAGE> 22
22
where such delivery is required by the Securities Act if the Company has
previously furnished copies thereof in sufficient quantity to such Agent and the
loss, claim, damage or liability of such Agent results from an untrue statement
or omission of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus which was
corrected in the Prospectus (excluding documents incorporated by reference) or
in the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented (excluding documents
incorporated by reference).
(b) Each Agent will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any part of the Registration Statement when such part became
effective, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any other prospectus relating to the Notes, or arise out
of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission was made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by you, or by such Agent through you,
specifically for use therein, and will reimburse the Company for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with
investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action as such expenses are incurred.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection
(a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such
action shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with
any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof,
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party provided,
however, that, if the defendants in any such action (including any impleaded
parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and
representations of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due
to actual or potential differing interests between them, the indemnified party
or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the
defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties (and the
reasonable fees and expenses of one such separate counsel shall be paid by the
indemnifying party). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened action in respect of which indemnified party is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party.
<PAGE> 23

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other from the
offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is
not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the
notice required under subsection (c) above, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but
also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the
other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand
and the Agents on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the
total proceeds from the offering of the Notes (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company bear to the total compensation or profit (before
deducting expenses) received or realized by the Agents from the purchase and
resale, or underwriting, of the Notes. The relative fault shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Agents and
the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the
Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant
to this subsection (d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the
Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in the first sentence of this subsection (d). The amount paid by an
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to
include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim
which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of
this subsection (d), no Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes underwritten by
it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount
of any damages that such Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Agents'
obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute shall be several in proportion
to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 7 shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend,
upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any
Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the
Agents under this Section 7 shall be
<PAGE> 24
24
in addition to any liability that the respective Agents may otherwise have and
shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the
Company (including any person who, with his consent, is named in the
Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company), to each
officer of the Company who has signed the Registration Statement and to each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities
Act.
8. Termination. (a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time
-----------
(i) by the Company with respect to any or all of the Agents or (ii) by any Agent
with respect to itself only, in each case upon the giving of written notice of
such termination to each other party hereto. Any Terms Agreement shall be
subject to termination in the discretion of the Agent or Agents that are parties
thereto by notice given to the Company prior to the payment for any Note to be
purchased thereunder, if at or prior to such time any of the conditions
specified in Section 6(a) hereof shall not have been satisfied. The termination
of this Agreement shall not require termination of any agreement by an Agent to
purchase Notes as principal (whether pursuant to a Terms Agreement or otherwise)
and the termination of such an agreement shall not require termination of this
Agreement. In the event this Agreement is terminated with respect to any Agent,
(x) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to any
Agent as to which such termination has not occurred, (y) this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect with respect to the rights and obligations of
any party which have previously accrued or which relate to Notes which are
already issued, agreed to be issued or the subject of a pending offer at the
time of such termination and (z) in any event, the provisions of the fourth
paragraph of Section 2(a), Section 2(c), the last sentence of Section 4(d) and
Sections 4(f), 4(g), 5, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 15 shall survive; provided that if at
the time of termination an offer to purchase Notes has been accepted by the
Company but the time of delivery to the purchaser or its agent of such Notes has
not yet occurred, the provisions of Sections 2(b), 2(d), 4(a) through 4(e), 4(h)
through 4(k) and 6 shall also survive. If any Terms Agreement is terminated,
the provisions of the last sentence of Section 4(d) and Sections 2(b), 2(d),
4(a), 4(b), 4(e), 4(g) through 4(k), 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 15 (which shall have
been incorporated by reference in such Terms Agreement) shall survive.
(b) If this Agreement or any Terms Agreement shall be terminated by
an Agent or Agents because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company
to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement
or any Terms Agreement or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Terms Agreement or any
condition of any Agent's obligations cannot be fulfilled, the Company agrees to
reimburse each Agent or such Agents as have so terminated this Agreement with
respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the
fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Agent or Agents
in connection with this Agreement or the offering of Notes.
<PAGE> 25
25
9. Position of the Agents. Each Agent, in soliciting offers to
----------------------
purchase Notes from the Company and in performing the other obligations of such
Agent hereunder (other than in respect of any purchase by an Agent as principal,
pursuant to a Terms Agreement or otherwise), is acting solely as agent for the
Company and not as principal and does not assume any obligation towards or
relationship of agency or trust with any purchaser of Notes. Each Agent will
make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each
purchaser whose offer to purchase Notes from the Company was solicited by such
Agent and has been accepted by the Company, but such Agent shall not have any
liability to the Company in the event such purchase is not consummated for any
reason. If the Company shall default on its obligation to deliver Notes to a
purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall (i) hold the relevant
Agent harmless against any loss, claim, damage or liability arising from or as a
result of such default by the Company and (ii) notwithstanding such default, pay
to the Agent that solicited such offer any commission to which it would be
entitled in connection with such sale.
10. Representations and Agreements to Survive. The respective
-----------------------------------------
indemnities and contribution agreements, representations, warranties and
agreements of the Company herein or certificates of its officers and the Agents
set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any agreement by an Agent to
purchase Notes as principal shall remain in full force and effect regardless of
any termination of this Agreement or any such agreement, any investigation made
by or on behalf of any Agent or any controlling person of any Agent, or the
Company, or any officer or director or any controlling person of the Company,
and shall survive each delivery of and payment for any of the Notes.

SENIOR MEDIUM-TERM NOTES, SERIES C
SUBORDINATED MEDIUM-TERM NOTES, SERIES B
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES
The Senior Medium-Term Notes, Series C (the "Notes") and the
Subordinated Medium-Term Notes, Series B, are to be offered on a continuous
basis by KeyCorp (the "Company"). Each of Salomon Brothers Inc, CS First
Boston Corporation, Goldman Sachs & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (each an
"Agent" and collectively, the "Agents") has agreed to solicit offers to
purchase the Notes. The Notes are being sold pursuant to a Distribution
Agreement dated ______________, 1995 (the "Agreement") between the Company and
the Agents. In the Agreement, each Agent has agreed to use reasonable efforts
to solicit purchases of the Notes. Each Agent, as principal, may purchase
Notes for its own account and, if such Agent so elects, the Company and such
Agent will enter into a Terms Agreement, as contemplated by the Agreement. The
Company may also solicit offers to purchase and may sell Notes directly on its
own behalf to investors (other than broker-dealers).
The Notes will be issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 10, 1994
(as supplemented or amended from time to time, the "Senior Indenture") between
the Company and Bankers Trust Company, as trustee (the "Senior Trustee"), with
respect to unsecured and unsubordinated Notes, or the Indenture, dated as of
June 10, 1994 (as supplemented or amended from time to time, the "Subordinated
Indenture"), between the Company and Bankers Trust Company, as trustee (the
"Subordinated Trustee"), with respect to unsecured and subordinated Notes. The
Senior Indenture and Subordinated Indenture are herein collectively referred to
as the "Indenture" and the Senior Trustee and Subordinated Trustee are herein
collectively referred to as the "Trustee." Wherever the terms "Indenture" and
"Trustee" are used with respect to a specific issuance of Notes they shall mean
the Senior Indenture and Senior Trustee, in the case of an issuance of unsecured
and unsubordinated Notes, and the Subordinated Indenture and Subordinated
Trustee, in the case of an issuance of unsecured and subordinated Notes.
Society National Bank, Cleveland, Ohio, a national banking association
("Society") will be the Paying Agent, Registrar, Authenticating Agent and the

Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate (the "Fixed Rate Notes"), which may be
zero in the case of certain original issue discount notes (the "OID Notes"), or
at floating rates (the "Floating Rate Notes"). Fixed Rate Notes may pay a level
amount in respect of both interest and principal amortized over the life of the
Notes ("Amortizing Notes"). Each Note will be represented by either a Global
Security (as defined below) delivered to Society, as agent for The Depository
Trust Company ("DTC"), and recorded in the book-entry system maintained
<PAGE> 33
2
by DTC (a "Book-Entry Note") or a certificate delivered to the holder thereof or
a person designated by such holder (a "Certificated Note"). Except in limited
circumstances, an owner of a Book-Entry Note will not be entitled to receive a
Certificated Note.
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the
Notes will be denominated in U.S. dollars and payments of principal of and any
premium and interest on the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars in the manner

Currency Notes, see the sections entitled "Special Provisions Relating to

exchange controls, shall be contained in a Pricing Supplement to the Prospectus
Supplement reflecting the terms of such Note.
The Company will advise each Agent in writing of those persons
representing the Company with whom such Agent is to communicate regarding offers
to purchase Securities and the related settlement details.
PART I: ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR BOOK-ENTRY NOTES
In connection with the qualification of the Book-Entry Notes for
eligibility in the book-entry system maintained by DTC, Society will perform the
custodial, document control and administrative functions described below, in
accordance with its respective obligations under a Letter of Representation from
the Company and Society to DTC, dated as of the date hereof (the "Letter of
Representation"), and a Medium-Term Note Certificate Agreement between Society
and DTC, dated as of April 24, 1991 and its obligations as a participant in DTC,
including DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System ("SDFS").
Issuance: On any date of settlement (as defined under "Settlement" below)
for one or more Book-Entry Notes, the Company will issue a single
global security in fully registered form without coupons (a
"Global Security") representing up to U.S. $150,000,000 principal
amount of all such Notes that have the same Maturity Date,
redemption or repayment provisions, Interest Payment Dates,
Original Issue Date, original issue discount provisions (if any),
and, in the case of Fixed Rate Notes, Interest Rate, modified
payment upon acceleration (if any), amortization schedule (if
any) or, in the case of Floating Rate Notes, Initial Interest
Rate, Interest Payment Dates, Interest Payment Period,
<PAGE> 34

Calculation Agent, Base Rate, Index Maturity, Interest Reset
Period, Interest Reset Dates, Spread or Spread Multiplier (if
any), Minimum Interest Rate (if any) and Maximum Interest Rate
(if any) and, in each case, any other relevant terms
(collectively "Terms"). Each Global Security will be dated and
issued as of the date of its authentication. Each Global
Security will bear an "Interest Accrual Date," which will be (i)
with respect to an original Global Security (or any portion
thereof), its original issuance date and (ii) with respect to any
Global Security (or any portion thereof) issued subsequently upon
exchange of a Global Security, or in lieu of a destroyed, lost or
stolen Global Security, the most recent Interest Payment Date to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the
predecessor Global Security or Securities (or if no such payment
or provision has been made, the original issuance date of the
predecessor Global Security), regardless of the date of
authentication of such subsequently issued Global Security.
Book-Entry Notes may currently be denominated and payable only in
U.S. dollars. No Global Security will represent (i) both Fixed
Rate and Floating Rate Book-Entry Notes or (ii) any Certificated
Note.
Identification The Company has arranged with the CUSIP Service Bureau of
Numbers: Standard & Poor's Ratings Group (the "CUSIP Service Bureau") for
the reservation of a series of approximately 900 CUSIP numbers
(including tranche numbers) for assignment to the Global
Securities representing the Book-Entry Notes. The Company has
obtained from the CUSIP Service Bureau a written list of such
series of reserved CUSIP numbers and has delivered to the
Trustee, Registrar and DTC the written list of 900 CUSIP numbers
of such series. The Company will assign CUSIP numbers to Global
Securities as described below under Settlement Procedure "B".
DTC will notify the CUSIP Service Bureau periodically of the
CUSIP numbers that the Company has assigned to Global Securities.
At any time when fewer than 100 of the reserved CUSIP numbers
remain unassigned to Global Securities, Society shall so advise
the Company and, if it deems necessary, the Company will reserve
additional CUSIP numbers for assignment to Global Securities
representing Book-Entry Notes. Upon obtaining such additional
CUSIP numbers, the Company shall deliver a list of such
additional CUSIP numbers to the Trustee, Registrar and DTC.
Registration: Each Global Security will be registered in the name of Cede &
Co., as nominee for DTC, on the security register maintained
under the Indenture. The beneficial owner of a Book-Entry Note
(or one or more indirect participants in DTC designated by such
owner) will designate
<PAGE> 35
4
one or more participants in DTC with respect to such Note (the
"Participants") to act as agent or agents for such owner in
connection with the book-entry system maintained by DTC and DTC
will record in book-entry form, in accordance with instructions
provided by such Participants, a credit balance with respect to
such beneficial owner in such Note in the account of such
Participants. The ownership interest of such beneficial owner in
such Note will be recorded through the records of such
Participants or through the separate records of such Participants
and one or more indirect participants in DTC.
Transfers: Transfers of a Book-Entry Note will be accompanied by book
entries made by DTC and, in turn, by Participants (and in certain
cases, one or more indirect participants in DTC) acting on behalf
of beneficial transferors and transferees of such Note.
Exchanges: The Registrar may deliver to DTC, the Trustee and the CUSIP
Service Bureau at any time a written notice of consolidation
specifying (i) the CUSIP numbers of two or more Outstanding
Global Securities that represent Book-Entry Notes having the same
Terms and for which interest has been paid to the same date, (ii)
a date, occurring at least thirty days after such written notice
is delivered and at least thirty days before the next Interest
Payment Date for such Book-Entry Notes, on which such Global
Securities shall be exchanged for a single replacement Global
Security and (iii) a new CUSIP number to be assigned to such
replacement Global Security. Upon receipt of such a notice, DTC
will send to its Participants (including the Trustee) a written
reorganization notice to the effect that such exchange will occur
on such date. Prior to the specified exchange date, the
Registrar will deliver to the CUSIP Service Bureau a written
notice setting forth such exchange date and the new CUSIP number
and stating that, as of such exchange date, the CUSIP numbers of
the Global Securities to be exchanged will no longer be valid.
On the specified exchange date, the Registrar will exchange such
Global Securities for a single Global Security bearing the new
CUSIP number and a new Interest Accrual Date, and the CUSIP
numbers of the exchanged Global Securities will, in accordance
with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures, be cancelled and not
immediately reassigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Global Securities to be exchanged exceed $150,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount, one Global Security will be
authenticated and issued to represent each $150,000,000,
principal amount of the exchanged Global Security and an
additional Global Security will be authenticated
<PAGE> 36
5
and issued to represent any remaining principal amount of such
Global Securities (see "Denominations" below).
Maturities: Each Book-Entry Note will mature on a date nine months or more
from date of issue.
Notice of The Company will give notice to Society and to the
Redemption and Trustee and Society as the Paying Agent will give
Repayment notice to DTC prior to each Redemption Date or
Dates: Repayment Date (as specified in the Note), if any, at the time
and in the manner set forth in the Letter of Representation.
Such notice shall be sent to DTC by a secure means (e.g., legible
----
telecopy, registered or certified mail, overnight delivery) in a
timely manner designed to assure that such notice is in DTC's
possession no later than two business days before the Publication
Date. Society shall forward such notice either in a separate
secure transmission for each CUSIP number or in a secure
transmission for multiple CUSIP numbers (if applicable) which
includes a manifest or list of each CUSIP number submitted in
that transmission. Society shall verify the use of such means
and the timeliness of such notice. The Publication Date shall
not be less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the
redemption date.
With respect to repayment of Notes at the option of the holder,
Society shall send notice to DTC and to the Trustee on the day
which is the earlier of 60 days prior to the purchase date or 5
days prior to the commencement of the tender exercise period, and
such notice shall specify the CUSIP number of such issue, the
start date and end date of the tender exercise period, the
repayment price, and the purchase date. Society shall send such
notice to DTC and to the Trustee with respect to an issue of
Notes with a "one time only" repayment option when such option
arises; in the case of an issue of Notes that are repayable on a
regular quarterly, semi-annual, annual, or less frequent cycle,
Society shall send such notice with respect to each repayment
option as it arises, or shall send such notice with respect to
all repayment options when the first such option arises; and, for
an issue of Notes that are repayable on a regular monthly cycle,
Society shall send such notice with respect to the first
repayment option and annually thereafter; provided, however,
Society shall in all cases promptly send notice of any change in
the issue's operational terms affecting the repayment options
(e.g., an upcoming mandatory tender), when known. Society
-----
recognizes that DTC will use its Repayment Option Procedures, a
copy of which previously has been furnished to Society, to
process tenders of
<PAGE> 37
6
the Notes. It is understood that under the Repayment Option
Procedures DTC will receive daily instructions from its
Participants to tender Notes for purchase. On the purchase date,
after paying DTC for tendered Notes, Society shall cancel the
tendered Notes, notify DTC to reduce the principal amount of the
issue of the Notes by the aggregate principal amount of the
tendered Notes and shall reduce the principal amount of the
Global Security evidencing the tendered Notes accordingly.
Denominations: Book-Entry Notes will be issued in principal amounts of $100,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Global
Securities will be denominated in principal amounts not in excess
of $150,000,000. If one or more Book-Entry Notes having an
aggregate principal amount in excess of $150,000,000 would, but
for the preceding sentence, be represented by a single Global
Security, then one Global Security will be issued to represent
each $150,000,000 principal amount of such Book-Entry Note or
Notes and an additional Global Security will be issued to
represent any remaining principal amount of such Book-Entry Note
or Notes. In such a case, each of the Global Securities
representing such Book-Entry Note or Notes shall be assigned the
same CUSIP number.
Interest: General. Interest on each Book-Entry Note will accrue from the
-------
Interest Accrual Date of the Global Security representing such
Note. Unless otherwise specified therein, each payment of
interest on a Book-Entry Note will include interest accrued to
but excluding the Interest Payment Date. Interest payable at the
maturity or upon redemption or repayment of a Book-Entry Note
will be payable to the person to whom the principal of such Note
is payable. Standard & Poor's Corporation will use the
information received in the pending deposit message described
under Settlement Procedure "C" below in order to include the
amount of any interest payable and certain other information

repayment date of such Global Security. In the case of
Amortizing Notes, the Paying Agent will provide separate written
notice to the Company (if required) and to DTC prior to the

Business Day, the payment due on such day shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue on such
payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date,
Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date, as the case may
be. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or
redemption or repayment date of a Global Security representing a
Floating Rate Book-Entry Note would otherwise fall on a day that
is not a Business Day, the payment due on such day shall be made
on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day with respect to
such Notes with the same effect as if such Business Day were the
Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of redemption or
repayment, as the case may be, except that, in the case of Book-
Entry LIBOR Notes, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding
calendar month, such Interest Payment Date or redemption or
repayment date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a
Business Day with respect to such Book-Entry LIBOR Notes.

such date is not a Business Day, as soon as possible thereafter,
following receipt of such funds from the Company the Paying Agent
will pay by separate wire transfer (using Fedwire message entry

at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York previously specified by
DTC, in funds available for immediate use by DTC, each payment of

Settlement For sales by the Company of Book-Entry Notes to or through an
Procedures Agent (unless otherwise specified pursuant to a Terms Agreement)
Timetable: for settlement on the first Business Day after the sale date,
Settlement Procedures "A" through "J" set forth above shall be
completed as soon as possible but not later than the respective
times (New York City time) set forth below:
Settlement
Procedure Time
--------- ----
A 11:00 A.M. on the sale date
B 12:00 noon on the sale date
C 2:00 P.M. on the sale date
D 9:00 A.M. on settlement date
E 10:00 A.M. on settlement date
F-G 2:00 P.M. on settlement date
H 4:45 P.M. on settlement date
I-J 5:00 P.M. on settlement date
If a sale is to be settled more than one Business Day after the
sale date, Settlement Procedures "A", "B" and "C" shall be
completed as soon as practicable but no later than 11:00 A.M., 12
noon and 2:00 P.M., respectively, on the first Business Day after
the sale date. If the Initial Interest Rate for a Floating Rate
Book-Entry Note has not been determined at the time that
Settlement Procedure "A" is completed, Settlement Procedures "B"
and "C" shall be completed as soon as such rate has been
determined but no later than 12 noon and 2:00 P.M.,
<PAGE> 48
17
respectively, on the second Business Day before the settlement
date. Settlement Procedure "H" is subject to extension in
accordance with any extension of Fedwire closing deadlines and in
the other events specified in the SDFS operating procedures in
effect on the settlement date.
If settlement of a Book-Entry Note is rescheduled or cancelled,
Society, after receiving notice from the Company or the Agent,
will deliver to DTC, through DTC's Participant Terminal System, a
cancellation message to such effect by no later than 2:00 P.M. on
the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled settlement
date.
Failure to If the Registrar fails to enter an SDFS deliver order with
Settle: respect to a Book-Entry Note pursuant to Settlement Procedure
"F", the Registrar may deliver to DTC, through DTC's Participant
Terminal System, as soon as practicable a withdrawal message
instructing DTC to debit such Note to the Registrar's participant
account, provided that the Registrar's participant account
contains a principal amount of the Global Security representing
such Note that is at least equal to the principal amount to be
debited. If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to
all the Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Security, the
Registrar will mark such Global Security "cancelled", make
appropriate entries in the Registrar's records and send such
cancelled Global Security to the Company. The CUSIP number
assigned to such Global Security shall, in accordance with CUSIP
Service Bureau procedures, be cancelled and not immediately
reassigned. If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to
one or more, but not all, of the Book-Entry Notes represented by
a Global Security, the Registrar will exchange such Global
Security for two Global Securities, one of which shall represent
such Book-Entry Note or Notes and shall be cancelled immediately
after issuance and the other of which shall represent the
remaining Book-Entry Notes previously represented by the
surrendered Global Security and actions described in the
preceding paragraph.
If the purchase price for any Book-Entry Note is not timely paid
to the Participants with respect to such Note by the beneficial
purchaser thereof (or a person, including an indirect participant
in DTC, acting on behalf of such purchaser), such Participants
and, in turn, the Agent may enter a deliver order through DTC's
Participant Terminal System debiting such Note to such Agent's
participant account and crediting such Note to the participant
account of Society and shall notify the
<PAGE> 49
18
Trustee, Society and the Company thereof. Thereafter, Society,
(i) will immediately notify the Company, once Society has
confirmed that such Note has been credited to its participant
account, and the Company shall immediately transfer by Fedwire
(in immediately available funds) to the Agent an amount equal to
the price of such Note which was previously sent by wire transfer
to the account of the Company maintained at Society National Bank
and (ii) Society will deliver the withdrawal message and take the
related actions described in the preceding paragraph. Such
debits and credits will be made on the settlement date, if
possible, and in any event not later than 5:00 P.M. on the
following Business Day. If the fail shall have occurred for any
reason other than failure of such Agent to provide the settlement
information to the Company or to provide a confirmation to the
purchaser, the Company will reimburse the Agent on an equitable
basis for its loss of the use of funds during the period when the
funds were credited to the account of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any failure to settle with
respect to a Book-Entry Note, DTC may take any action in
accordance with its SDFS operating procedures then in effect.
In the event of a failure to settle with respect to one or more,
but not all, of the Book-Entry Notes to have been represented by
a Global Security, Society will provide, in accordance with
Settlement Procedures "D" and "F", for the authentication and
issuance of a Global Security representing the Book-Entry Notes
to be represented by such Global Security and will make
appropriate entries in its records.
Posting Rates The Company and the Agents will discuss from time to time the
by Company: rates of interest per annum to be borne by and the maturity of
Securities that may be sold as a result of the solicitation of
offers by an Agent. The Company may establish a fixed set of
interest rates and maturities for an offering period ("posting").
If the Company decides to change already posted rates, it will
promptly advise the Agents to suspend solicitation of offers
until the new posted rates have been established with the Agent.
Society Not To Nothing herein shall be deemed to require Society or the Trustee
Risk Funds: to risk or expend its own funds in connection with any payments
to the Company, the Agents, DTC or any holders of Notes, it being
understood by all parties that payments made by Society to the
<PAGE> 50
19
Company, the Agents, DTC or any holders of Notes shall be made
only to the extent that funds are provided to Society for such
purpose.

amount due on such Note on such date, together with interest due
thereon, at its Maturity Date or upon redemption or repayment of
such Note in funds available for immediate use by the Paying
Agent. The Paying Agent will pay such amount to the holder of
such Note at its Maturity Date or upon redemption or repayment of
such Note upon presentation and surrender of such Note to the
Paying Agent. Such payment, together with payment of interest
due at maturity or upon redemption or repayment, will be made in
funds available for immediate use by the holder of such Note.
Promptly after such presentation and surrender, the Registrar
will cancel such Certificated Note in accordance with the terms
of the Indenture and deliver it to the Company with a certificate
of cancellation. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable
Pricing Supplement, all interest payments on a Certificated Note
or, in the case of a Certificated Amortizing Note, payments of
principal and interest (other than interest (or interest and
principal) due at maturity or upon redemption or repayment) will
be made by check drawn on the Paying Agent and mailed by the
Paying Agent to the person entitled thereto as provided in such
Note and the Indenture; provided, however, that (i) the holder of
-------- -------
$10,000,000 or more of Notes having the same Interest Payment
Date will be entitled to receive payment by wire transfer of
immediately available funds and (ii) unless otherwise specified
in the applicable Pricing Supplement or unless alternative
arrangements are made, payments on Notes in a currency other than
U.S. dollars will be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank
located outside the United States and, with respect to clauses
(i) and (ii) above, the holder of such Notes will provide the
Paying Agent with appropriate and timely wire transfer
instructions.
Promptly after each Record Date, the Paying Agent will deliver to
the Company a written notice specifying the amount of interest to
be paid
<PAGE> 54
23
on each Certificated Note other than an Amortizing Note on the
following Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment
Date coinciding with maturity or any earlier redemption or
repayment date) and the total of such amounts. In the case of
Amortizing Notes, the Paying Agent will provide separate written
notice to the Company specifying the amount of interest and
principal to be paid on each Amortizing Note on the following
Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date
coinciding with maturity or any earlier redemption or repayment
date) and the total of such amounts. Interest at maturity or
upon redemption or repayment will be payable to the person to
whom the payment of principal is payable. On or about the first
Business Day of each month, the Paying Agent will deliver to the
Company and the Trustee a written list of principal and interest,
to the extent ascertainable, to be paid on each Certificated Note
including Amortizing Notes maturing or to be redeemed or repaid
in the following month. The Paying Agent will be responsible for
withholding taxes on interest paid on Certificated Notes as
required by applicable law.
If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or redemption
or repayment date of a Fixed Rate Certificated Note is not a
Business Day, the payment due on such day shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue on such
payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date,
Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date, as the case may
be. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or
redemption or repayment date of a Floating Rate Certificated Note
would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day with
respect to such Note, the payment due on such day shall be made
on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day with respect to
such Note with the same effect as if such Business Day were the
stated Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of redemption
or repayment, as the case may be, except that, in the case of
Certificated LIBOR Notes, if such Business Day is in the next
succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date, Maturity
Date or redemption or repayment date shall be the immediately
preceding day that is a Business Day with respect to such
Certificated LIBOR Notes.

equal to the amount previously credited thereto in respect of
such Note. Such wire transfer will be made on the settlement

occurred for any reason other than a default by such Agent in the
performance of its obligations hereunder and under the Agreement,

Company and its subsidiaries within the meaning of the Securities Act and the
applicable published Securities Act Regulations.
(2) In their opinion, the consolidated financial statements and any
supplemental financial information or schedules audited by them and included or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or Prospectus comply as
to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of

Accountants for a review of interim financial information as described in SAS
No. 71, Interim Financial Information, on the unaudited consolidated interim

officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting
matters whether the internal unaudited consolidated interim financial statements
are stated on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited
consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the Registration

<PAGE> 62
a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited consolidated
financial statements incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;
or
(C) at the date of the latest available internal unaudited consolidated
interim financial statements of the Company, there was any decrease in
consolidated shareholders' equity as compared with amounts shown in the
latest balance sheet included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus
except in all instances for decreases that the Prospectus discloses have
occurred or may occur or as may be set forth in such letter; or
(D) for the period from the date of the latest balance sheet included or

available internal financial statements of the Company, there was any
decrease, as compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, in
consolidated net interest income, consolidated net interest income after
provision for possible loan losses, consolidated income before taxes or in
the total or per common share amounts of consolidated net income, except in
all cases for changes or decreases that the Prospectus discloses have
occurred or may occur or as may be set forth in such letter;
(E) as of a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of
delivery of such letter to the Agent(s), there was any decrease in
consolidated shareholders' equity as compared with the [amount shown in the
latest balance sheet included or incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus/amount shown in the latest internal unaudited consolidated interim
financial statements], except for any decrease that the Registration
Statement discloses has occurred or may occur.
(4) In addition to their examination referred to in their reports
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and Prospectus and the
procedures referred to in (3) above, (a) they have carried out certain other
procedures, not constituting an audit, with respect to certain of the dollar
amounts, percentages and other financial information (in each case to the
extent that such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial information,
either directly or by analysis or computation, are derived from the general
accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries) which are included or
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (other than those appearing in the
audited financial statements included therein) and appear in the Prospectus or
incorporated documents, as agreed to by officers of the Company and the
Representative(s), and have found such dollar amounts, percentages and
financial information to be in agreement with the general accounting records of
the Company and its subsidiaries and (b) if any pro forma financial information
is included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and
Prospectus, they have carried out other procedures, not constituting an audit,
with respect to such pro forma financial information and indicated the results
thereof, if requested by the Agent(s) and agreed to by officers of the Company.

KEYCORP, an Ohio corporation (herein referred to as the
"COMPANY", which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
___________________________________, or registered assigns, the principal sum
of __________________________ on the Stated Maturity shown above (except to the
extent redeemed, repaid, renewed or extended prior to the Stated Maturity) and
to pay interest thereon at the Interest Rate shown above from the Original
Issue Date shown above or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which
interest, if any, has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on June 1
and December 1 of each year (unless other Interest Payment Dates are shown on
the face hereof and except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph) (each,
an "INTEREST PAYMENT DATE") until the principal hereof is paid or made
available for payment and on the Stated Maturity, any Redemption Date or
Repayment Date (such terms are together hereinafter referred to as the
"MATURITY DATE" with respect to the principal repayable on such date);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any payment of principal (or premium, if any) or
interest, if any, to be made on any Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity
Date that is not a Business Day (as defined below) shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such
Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, and no
additional interest, if any, shall accrue on the amount so payable as a result
of such delayed payment. For purposes of this Security, unless otherwise
specified on the face hereof, "BUSINESS DAY" means any day that is not a
Saturday or Sunday and that is not a legal holiday nor a day on which banking
institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close
in The City of New York and (i) with respect to Securities denominated or
payable in a Specified Currency other than ECUs in the financial center of the
country issuing the Specified Currency and (ii) with respect to Notes
denominated or payable in ECUs, in the financial center of each country that
issues a component currency of the ECU, and that is not a non-ECU settlement
day.
Any interest hereon is accrued from, and including, the next
preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest, if any, has been
paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date if
no interest has been paid) to, but excluding, the succeeding Interest Payment
Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. The interest, if any, so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
will, as provided in the Indenture (referred to on the reverse hereof), be paid
to the person (the "HOLDER") in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at
snrfx.not
<PAGE> 4

the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) next
preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a "REGULAR RECORD DATE"); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, if this Security was issued between a Regular Record Date and
the initial Interest Payment Date relating to such Regular Record Date,
interest, if any, for the period beginning on the Original Issue Date and
ending on such initial Interest Payment Date shall be paid on the Interest
Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record Date to the Holder
hereof on such next succeeding Regular Record Date; and PROVIDED FURTHER that
interest, if any, payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to
whom the principal hereof shall be payable. Any such interest not so
punctually paid or duly provided for ("DEFAULTED INTEREST") will forthwith
cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be
paid to the person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date
(the "SPECIAL RECORD DATE") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be
fixed by the Trustee (referred to on the reverse hereof), notice whereof shall
be given to the Holder of this Security not less than ten days prior to such
Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all
as more fully provided in the Indenture.
Unless otherwise specified above, all payments in respect of
this Security will be made in U.S. dollars regardless of the Specified Currency
shown above unless the Holder hereof makes the election described below. If
the Specified Currency shown above is other than U.S. dollars, the Exchange
Rate Agent (referred to on the reverse hereof) will arrange to convert all
payments in respect hereof into U.S. dollars in the manner described on the
reverse hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Holder hereof may, if so indicated
above, elect to receive all payments in such Specified Currency by delivery of
a written request to the corporate trust office of the Trustee in The City of
New York, on or prior to the applicable Regular Record Date or at least fifteen
days prior to the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Such request may be in
writing with a signature guarantee, mailed or hand delivered, or by cable,
telex, or other form of facsimile transmission. The Holder hereof may elect to
receive payment in such Specified Currency for all principal, premium, if any,
and interest payments and need not file a separate election for each payment.
Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the
Trustee, but written notice of any such revocation must be received by the
Trustee on or prior to the Regular Record Date or at least fifteen days prior
to the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Company determines that the Specified Currency is not available for making
payments in respect hereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the Company's control, or is no longer used by the
government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking
community, then the Holder hereof may not so elect to receive payments in the
Specified Currency and any such outstanding election shall be automatically
suspended, until the Company determines that the Specified Currency is again
available for making such payments.

In the event of an official redenomination of the Specified
Currency, the obligations of the Company with respect to payments on this
Security shall, in all cases, be deemed immediately following such
redenomination to provide for payment of that amount of redenominated currency
representing the amount of such obligations immediately before such
redenomination. In no event shall any adjustment be made to any amount payable
hereunder as a result of any change in the value of the Specified Currency
shown above relative to any other currency due solely to fluctuations in
exchange rates.
Until the Securities are paid in full or payment therefor in
full is duly provided for, the Company will at all times maintain a Paying
Agent (which Paying Agent may be the Trustee) in The City of Cleveland (which,
unless otherwise specified above, shall be the "PLACE OF PAYMENT"). The
Company has initially appointed Society National Bank at its corporate trust
office in The City of Cleveland as paying agent.
Unless otherwise shown above, payment of interest on this
Security (other than on the Maturity Date) will be made by check mailed to the
registered address of the Holder hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if (i) the
Specified Currency is U.S. dollars and the Holder hereof is the Holder of U.S.
$1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series of
which this Security is a part (whether having identical or different terms and
provisions) or (ii) the Specified Currency is a Foreign Currency, and the
Holder has elected to receive payments in such Specified Currency as provided
for above, such interest payments will be made by transfer of immediately
available funds, but only if appropriate instructions have been received in
writing by the Trustee or Paying Agent on or prior to the applicable Regular
Record Date. Simultaneously with any election by the Holder hereof to receive
payments in respect hereof in the Specified Currency (if other than U.S.
dollars), such Holder may provide appropriate instructions to the Trustee or
Paying Agent, and all such payments will be made in immediately available funds
to an account maintained by the payee with a bank, but only if such bank has
appropriate facilities therefor. Unless otherwise specified above, the
principal hereof (and premium, if any) and interest hereon payable on the
Maturity Date will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender of
this Security at the corporate trust office of the Trustee maintained for that
purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York (or at such
other location as may be specified above). The Company will pay any
administrative costs imposed by banks in making payments in immediately
available funds, but, except as otherwise provided under Additional Amounts
above, any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon payments will be
borne by the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such payments are
made.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest on
this Security, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES C
Section 1. GENERAL. This Security is one of a duly
authorized issue of securities (herein called the "SECURITIES") of the Company,
issued and to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an
indenture, dated as of June 10, 1994, as it may be supplemented from time to
time (herein called the "INDENTURE"), between the Company and Bankers Trust
Company, Trustee (herein called the "TRUSTEE", which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to a series of which this
Security is a part), to which indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto, reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is
one of the series designated on the face hereof which is unlimited in aggregate
principal amount.
Section 2. PAYMENTS. If the Specified Currency is other than
U.S. dollars and the Holder hereof fails to elect payment in such Specified
Currency, the amount of U.S. dollar payments to be made in respect hereof will
be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent specified on the face hereof or a
successor thereto (the "EXCHANGE RATE AGENT") based on the highest bid
quotation in The City of New York at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City
time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from
three recognized foreign exchange dealers selected by the Exchange Rate Agent
(one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is
the applicable agent to or through which this Security was originally sold) for
the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars
for settlement on such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified
Currency payable to all Holders of Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency
scheduled to receive U.S. dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer
commits to execute a contract. If none of such bid quotations are available,
payments will be made in the Specified Currency.
Except as set forth below, if the Specified Currency is other
than U.S. dollars and the Specified Currency is not available due to the
imposition of exchange controls or to other circumstances beyond the Company's
control, or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such
currency or for settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within
the international banking community, the Company will be entitled to make
payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the noon buying rate in The City of
New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency as certified for
customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "MARKET
EXCHANGE RATE") for such Specified Currency on the date of
snrfx.not
<PAGE> 9
2
such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is then not available, on the
basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate. Any payment made
under such circumstances in U.S. dollars where the required payment is in a
Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of
Default or Default under the Indenture.
If payment on this Security is required to be made in ECUs and
ECUs are unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Company, or are no longer used in the
European Monetary System, all payments due on that due date with respect to
this Security shall be made in U.S. dollars. The amount so payable on any date
in ECU shall be converted into U.S. dollars, at a rate determined by the
Exchange Rate Agent as of the second Business Day prior to the date on which
such payment is due on the following basis. The component currencies of the
ECU for this purpose (the "COMPONENTS") shall be the currency amounts which
were Components of the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used in the
European Monetary System. The equivalent of the ECU in U.S. dollars shall be
calculated by aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components. The
U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by the
Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange
Rate for such Components.
If the official unit of any Component of the ECU is altered by
way of combination or subdivision, the number of units of that Component shall
be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If two or more Components are
consolidated into a single currency, the amounts of those currencies as
Components shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the
sum of the amounts of the consolidated Components expressed in such single
currency. If any Component is divided into two or more currencies, the amount
of that currency as a Component shall be replaced by amounts of such two or
more currencies, the sum of which shall be equal to the amount of the original
Component currency.
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate
Agent shall be at its sole discretion and, in the absence of manifest error,
shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this
Security.
All currency exchange costs will be borne by the Holder of
this Security through deductions from payments otherwise due to such Holder.
References herein to "U.S. DOLLARS" or "U.S. $" or "$" are to
the currency of the United States of America.
Section 3. REDEMPTION. If so specified on the face hereof,
the Company may at its option redeem this Security in whole or from time to
time in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal
amount of this Security shall not be less than the
snrfx.not
<PAGE> 10
3
minimum authorized denomination of such Security) on or after the date
designated as the Initial Redemption Date on the face hereof at 100% of the
unpaid principal amount hereof or the portion thereof redeemed (or, if this
Security is a Discount Security, such lesser amount as is provided for below)
multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof,
together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date. Such Initial Redemption
Percentage shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by
an amount equal to the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the
face hereof until the redemption price is 100% of such amount. The Company may
exercise such option by causing the Trustee to mail a notice of such redemption
at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. In the
event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities
for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof. If less than all the Securities of the
series, of which this Security is a part, with differing issue dates, interest
rates and stated maturities are to be redeemed, the Company in its sole
discretion shall select the particular Securities to be redeemed and shall
notify the Trustee in writing thereof at least 45 days prior to the relevant
redemption date. If less than all of the Securities with like tenor and terms
to this Security are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate.
Section 4. REPAYMENT. If so specified on the face hereof,
this Security shall be repayable prior to the Stated Maturity at the option of
the Holder on each applicable Repayment Date shown on the face hereof at the
Repayment Price shown on the face hereof, together with accrued interest to the
Repayment Date. In order for this Security to be repaid, the Paying Agent must
receive at least 30 but not more than 45 days prior to a Repayment Date this
Security with the form attached hereto entitled "OPTION TO ELECT REPAYMENT"
duly completed. Except as set forth in Section 308 of the Indenture, any
tender of this Security for repayment shall be irrevocable. The repayment
option may be exercised by the Holder of this Security in whole or in part in
increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount of this
Security shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof).
Upon any partial repayment, this Security shall be cancelled and a new Security
or Securities for the remaining principal amount hereof shall be issued in the
name of the Holder of this Security.
Section 5. SINKING FUND. Unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, this Security will not be subject to any sinking fund.
Section 6. DISCOUNT SECURITIES. If this Security (such
Security being referred to as an "ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT SECURITY") (a) has
been issued at an Issue Price lower, by more than a DE MINIMIS amount (as
determined under United States federal income tax rules applicable to original
issue discount instruments), than its "stated redemption price at maturity" (as
defined below) and (b) would be considered an original issue discount security
for United
snrfx.not
<PAGE> 11
4
States federal income tax purposes, then the amount payable on this Security in
the event of redemption by the Company, repayment at the option of the Holder
or acceleration of the maturity hereof, in lieu of the principal amount due at
the Stated Maturity hereof, shall be the Amortized Face Amount (as defined
below) of this Security as of the date of such redemption, repayment or
acceleration. The "AMORTIZED FACE AMOUNT" of this Security shall be the amount
equal to the sum of (a) the Issue Price (as set forth on the face hereof) plus
(b) the aggregate of the portions of the original issue discount (the excess of
the amounts considered as part of the "stated redemption price at maturity" of
this Security within the meaning of Section 1273(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE"), whether denominated as principal or
interest, over the Issue Price of this Security) which shall theretofore have
accrued pursuant to Section 1272 of the Code (without regard to Section
1272(a)(7) of the Code) from the date of issue of this Security to the date of
determination, minus (c) any amount considered as part of the "stated
redemption price at maturity" of this Security which has been paid on this
Security from the date of issue to the date of determination.
Section 7. MODIFICATION AND WAIVERS. The Indenture permits,
with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the
Holders of the Securities of each series. Such amendment may be effected under
the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of not less than a 66-2/3% in principal amount of all Outstanding
Securities affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities, to waive
compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Provisions
in the Indenture also permit the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal
amount of all Outstanding Securities of any series to waive on behalf of all of
the Holders of all the Securities of such series and any related coupons
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holder of this
Security and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Security.
Section 8. RANKING; OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY ABSOLUTE. The
Securities are unsecured and rank pari passu with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate,
and in the Specified Currency herein prescribed.
snrfx.not
<PAGE> 12

Section 9. DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The Indenture
contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness
of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the
related defaults and Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with
certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security,
unless otherwise specified on the face hereof.
Section 10. AUTHORIZED DENOMINATIONS. Unless otherwise
provided on the face hereof, this Security is issuable only in registered form
without coupons issued in denominations of $100,000 or any amount in excess
thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000. If this Security is
denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars or is a Discount
Security, this Security shall be issuable in the denominations set forth on the
face hereof.
Section 11. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register upon
surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at a Place of Payment
for the series of Securities of which this Security is a part, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
If the registered owner of this Security is the Depository
(such a Security being referred to herein as a "GLOBAL SECURITY") and (i) the
Depository is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository and a
successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days following
notice to the Company or (ii) an Event of Default occurs, the Company will
issue Securities in certificated form in exchange for this Global Security. In
addition, the Company may at any time determine not to have Securities
represented by this Global Security and, in such event, will issue Securities
in certificated form in exchange in whole for this Global Security representing
such Security. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a
Global Security will be entitled to physical delivery in certificated form of
Securities equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have
such Securities registered in its name. Securities so issued in certificated
form will be issued in denominations of $1,000 (or such other denomination as
shall be specified by the Company) or any amount in excess thereof which is an
integral multiple of $1,000 and will be issued in registered form only, without
coupons.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Holder as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 12. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If an Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of the series of which this Security forms a part
shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of this Security may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.
Section 13. DEFINED TERMS. All terms used in this Security
which are defined in the Indenture and are not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

KEYCORP, an Ohio corporation (herein referred to as the
"COMPANY", which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
___________________________________, or registered assigns, the principal sum
of ___________________________on the Stated Maturity shown above (except to the
extent redeemed, repaid or renewed prior to the Stated Maturity) and to pay
interest thereon at the Initial Interest Rate shown above from the Original
Issue Date shown above until the first Interest Reset Date shown above
following the Original Issue Date (if the first Interest Reset Date is later
than the Original Issue Date) and thereafter at the interest rate determined by
reference to the Base Rate shown above, plus or minus the Spread, if any,
and/or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, shown above, determined in
accordance with the provisions on the reverse hereof, until the principal
hereof is paid or duly made available for payment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
interest rate in effect for the ten days immediately prior to the Maturity Date
(as defined below) of this Security will be that in effect on the tenth day
preceding such date. The Company will pay interest on each Interest Payment
Date specified above, commencing with the first Interest Payment Date (except
as provided in the next succeeding paragraph) next succeeding the Original
Issue Date, and on the Stated Maturity, any Redemption Date or Repayment Date
(such terms together are hereinafter referred to as a "MATURITY DATE" with
respect to the principal repayable on such date); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any
payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest to be made on any
Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date that is not a Business Day (as
defined below) shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (except that
in the case of interest payments on an Interest Payment Date and if the Base
Rate specified above is LIBOR, and such day falls in the next succeeding
calendar month, such payment will be made on the next preceding Business Day)
as described on the reverse hereof. For purposes of this Security, unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, "BUSINESS DAY" means any day that is
not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a legal holiday nor a day on which
banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation
to close in The City of New York and (i) in respect of LIBOR (as defined
below), in the city of London, (ii) with respect to Securities denominated or
payable in a Specified Currency other than ECUs in the financial center of the
country issuing the Specified Currency, (iii) with respect to Notes denominated
or payable in ECUs, in the financial center of each country that issues a
component currency of the ECU, and that is not a non-ECU settlement day.
"LONDON BANKING DAY" means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S.
dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture (referred
to on the reverse hereof), be paid to the person (the "HOLDER") in whose name
this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) next
preceding such Interest Payment Date (a "REGULAR RECORD DATE"); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, if this Security was issued between a Regular Record Date and
the initial Interest Payment Date relating to such Regular Record Date,
interest for the period beginning on the Original Issue Date and ending on such
initial Interest Payment Date shall be paid on the Interest Payment Date
following the next succeeding Regular Record Date to the Holder on such Regular
Record Date; and PROVIDED FURTHER that interest payable on the Maturity Date
will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.
Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for ("DEFAULTED
INTEREST") will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular
Record Date and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Security
(or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business
on a special record date (the "SPECIAL RECORD DATE") for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee (referred to on the reverse
hereof), notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Security not less
than ten days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in
any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
Unless otherwise specified above, all payments in respect of
this Security will be made in U.S. dollars regardless of the Specified Currency
shown above unless the Holder hereof makes the election described below. If
the Specified Currency shown above is other than U.S. dollars, the Exchange
Rate Agent (referred to on the reverse hereof) will arrange to convert all
payments in respect hereof into U.S. dollars in the manner described on the
reverse hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Holder hereof may, if so indicated
above, elect to receive all payments in such Specified Currency by delivery of
a written request to the corporate trust office of the Trustee in The City of
New York, on or prior to the applicable Regular Record Date or at least fifteen
days prior to the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Such request may be in
writing with a signature guarantee, mailed or hand delivered, or by cable,
telex, or other form of facsimile transmission. The Holder hereof may elect to
receive payment in such Specified Currency for all principal, premium, if any,
and interest payments and need not file a separate election for each payment.
Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the
Trustee, but written notice of any such revocation must be received by the
Trustee on or prior to the Regular Record Date or at least fifteen days prior
to the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Company determines that the Specified Currency is not available for making
payments in respect hereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the Company's control, or is no longer used by the
government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking
community, then the Holder hereof may not so elect to receive payments in the
Specified Currency and any such
snrfl.not
<PAGE> 5
5
outstanding election shall be automatically suspended, until the Company
determines that the Specified Currency is again available for making such
payments.
In the event of an official redenomination of the Specified
Currency, the obligations of the Company with respect to payments on this
Security shall, in all cases, be deemed immediately following such
redenomination to provide for payment of that amount of redenominated currency
representing the amount of such obligations immediately before such
redenomination. In no event shall any adjustment be made to any amount payable
hereunder as a result of any change in the value of the Specified Currency
shown above relative to any other currency due solely to fluctuations in
exchange rates.
Until the Securities are paid in full or payment therefor in
full is duly provided for, the Company will at all times maintain a Paying
Agent (which Paying Agent may be the Trustee) in The City of Cleveland (which,
unless otherwise specified above, shall be the "PLACE OF PAYMENT"). The
Company has initially appointed Society National Bank at its corporate trust
office in The City of Cleveland as paying agent.
Unless otherwise shown above, payment of interest on this
Security (other than on the Maturity Date) will be made by check mailed to the
registered address of the Holder hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if (i) the
Specified Currency is U.S. dollars and the Holder hereof is the Holder of U.S.
$1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series of
which this Security is a part (whether having identical or different terms and
provisions) or (ii) the Specified Currency is a Foreign Currency, and the
Holder has elected to receive payments in such Specified Currency as provided
for above, such interest payments will be made by transfer of immediately
available funds, but only if appropriate instructions have been received in
writing by the Trustee or Paying Agent on or prior to the applicable Regular
Record Date. Simultaneously with any election by the Holder hereof to receive
payments in respect hereof in the Specified Currency (if other than U.S.
dollars), such Holder may provide appropriate instructions to the Trustee or
Paying Agent, and all such payments will be made in immediately available funds
to an account maintained by the payee with a bank, but only if such bank has
appropriate facilities therefor. Unless otherwise specified above, the
principal hereof (and premium, if any) and interest hereon payable on the
Maturity Date will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender of
this Security at the corporate trust office of the Trustee maintained for that
purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York (or at such
other location as may be specified above). The Company will pay any
administrative costs imposed by banks in making payments in immediately
available funds, but, except as otherwise provided under Additional Amounts
above, any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon payments will be
borne by the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such payments are
made.

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES C
Section 1. GENERAL. This Security is one of a duly
authorized issue of securities (herein called the "SECURITIES") of the Company,
issued and to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an
indenture, dated as of June 10, 1994, as it may be supplemented from time to
time (herein called the "INDENTURE"), between the Company and Bankers Trust
Company, Trustee (herein called the "TRUSTEE", which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to a series of which this
Security is a part), to which indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto, reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is
one of the series designated on the face hereof which is unlimited in aggregate
principal amount.
Section 2. PAYMENTS. If the Specified Currency is other than
U.S. dollars and the Holder hereof fails to elect payment in such Specified
Currency, the amount of U.S. dollar payments to be made in respect hereof will
be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent specified on the face hereof or a
successor thereto (the "EXCHANGE RATE AGENT") based on the highest bid
quotation in The City of New York at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City
time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from
three recognized foreign exchange dealers selected by the Exchange Rate Agent
(one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is
the applicable agent to or through which this Security was originally sold) for
the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars
for settlement on such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified
Currency payable to all Holders of Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency
scheduled to receive U.S. dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer
commits to execute a contract. If none of such bid quotations are available,
payments will be made in the Specified Currency.
Except as set forth below, if the Specified Currency is other
than U.S. dollars and the Specified Currency is not available due to the
imposition of exchange controls or to other circumstances beyond the Company's
control, or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such
currency or for settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within
the international banking community, the Company will be entitled to make
payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the noon buying rate in The City of
New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency as certified for
customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "MARKET EXCHANGE
RATE") for such Specified Currency on the date of such payment or, if the
Market Exchange Rate is then not available, on the basis of the most
recently available Market Exchange Rate. Any payment made under such
circumstances in
snrfl.not
<PAGE> 9
2
U.S. dollars where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than
U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default or Default under the
Indenture.
If payment on this Security is required to be made in ECUs and
ECUs are unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Company, or are no longer used in the
European Monetary System, all payments due on that due date with respect to
this Security shall be made in U.S. dollars. The amount so payable on any date
in ECU shall be converted into U.S. dollars, at a rate determined by the
Exchange Rate Agent as of the second Business Day prior to the date on which
such payment is due on the following basis. The component currencies of the
ECU for this purpose (the "COMPONENTS") shall be the currency amounts which
were Components of the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used in the
European Monetary System. The equivalent of the ECU in U.S. dollars shall be
calculated by aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components. The
U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by the
Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange
Rate for such Components.
If the official unit of any Component of the ECU is altered by
way of combination or subdivision, the number of units of that Component shall
be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If two or more Components are
consolidated into a single currency, the amounts of those currencies as
Components shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the
sum of the amounts of the consolidated Components expressed in such single
currency. If any Component is divided into two or more currencies, the amount
of that currency as a Component shall be replaced by amounts of such two or
more currencies, the sum of which shall be equal to the amount of the original
Component currency.
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate
Agent shall be at its sole discretion and, in the absence of manifest error,
shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this
Security.
All currency exchange costs will be borne by the Holder of
this Security through deductions from payments otherwise due to such Holder.
Section 3. INTEREST RATE CALCULATIONS. Unless otherwise set
forth on the face hereof, the following provisions of this Section 3 shall
apply to the calculation of interest on this Security. If the first Interest
Reset Date is later than the Original Issue Date, this Security will bear
interest from its Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date at the
Initial Interest Rate set forth on the face hereof. Thereafter, the interest
rate hereon for each Interest Reset Period (as defined below) will be
determined by reference to the Base Rate set forth on the face hereof, as
adjusted by the Spread, the Spread Multiplier or other formula, if any, set
forth on the face hereof.
snrfl.not
<PAGE> 10

As set forth on the face hereof, this Security may also have
either or both of the following: (i) a maximum limitation, or ceiling, on the
rate at which interest may accrue during any Interest Period (as defined below)
("MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE"); and (ii) a minimum limitation, or floor, on the rate
at which interest may accrue during any Interest Period ("MINIMUM INTEREST
RATE"). In addition to any Maximum Interest Rate that may be set forth on the
face hereof, the interest rate on this Security will in no event be higher than
the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by
United States law of general application.
The rate of interest hereon will be reset daily, weekly,
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually (each, an "INTEREST RESET
PERIOD", and the first day of each Interest Reset Period being an "INTEREST
RESET DATE"), as set forth on the face hereof. The Interest Reset Date will
be, if this Security resets (i) daily, each Business Day; (ii) weekly, the
Wednesday of each week (unless the Base Rate set forth on the face hereof is
the Treasury Rate); weekly and if the Base Rate set forth on the face hereof is
the Treasury Rate, the Tuesday of each week (except as provided below); (iii)
monthly, the third Wednesday of each month (except in the case of 11th District
Cost of Funds Rate Notes, for which the Interest Reset Date will be the first
calender day of each month) ; (iv) quarterly, the third Wednesday of March,
June, September and December of each year; (v) semi-annually, the third
Wednesday of the two months set forth on the face hereof; and (vi) annually,
the third Wednesday of the month set forth on the face hereof; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the interest rate in effect from the date of issue to the first
Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate set forth on the face
hereof. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a
Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next succeeding Business
Day, except that, if the Base Rate set forth on the face hereof is LIBOR, if
such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset
Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.
The interest payable hereon on each Interest Payment Date and
on the Maturity Date shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including
the Original Issue Date or the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has
been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. If
the Stated Maturity falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Stated Maturity
will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect
as if made on the Stated Maturity, and no interest shall accrue on the amount
so payable as a result of such delayed payment. If an Interest Payment Date
other than the Stated Maturity falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such
Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day
and interest will accrue for the period of such postponement (except if the
Base Rate specified above is LIBOR, and such day falls in the next succeeding
calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be advanced to the immediately
preceding Business Day), it being
snrfl.not
<PAGE> 11
4
understood that, to the extent this sentence is inconsistent with Section 112
of the Indenture, the provisions of this sentence shall apply in lieu of such
Section.
Accrued interest will be calculated by multiplying the
principal amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest
factor will be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day
in the Interest Period or from the date from which accrued interest is being
calculated. The interest factor for each such day is computed by dividing the
interest rate applicable on such day by 360, if the Base Rate set forth on the
face hereof is the CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime
Rate, LIBOR, CMT Rate or 11th District Cost of Funds Rate (as described below),
or by the actual number of days in the year, if the Base Rate set forth on the
face hereof is the Treasury Rate (as described below). The interest rate
applicable to any day that is an Interest Reset Date is the interest rate as
determined, in accordance with the procedures hereinafter set forth, with
respect to the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to
such Interest Reset Date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the
interest rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none,
the Initial Interest Rate, as set forth on the face hereof).
All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation with
respect hereto will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one
hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a
percentage point rounded upward (E.G., 7.123455% (or 0.07123455) being rounded
to 7.12346% (or 0.0712346) and 7.123454% (or 0.07123454) being rounded to
7.12345% (or 0.0712345)), and all currency amounts used in or resulting from
such calculation will be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a unit (with
five one-thousandths of a unit being rounded upwards).
Interest will be payable on, if this Security resets (i)
daily, weekly or monthly, the third Wednesday of each month or on the third
Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year, as set forth on
the face hereof; (ii) quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September
and December of each year; (iii) semi-annually, the third Wednesday of the two
months set forth on the face hereof; and (iv) annually, the third Wednesday of
the month set forth on the face hereof (each, an "INTEREST PAYMENT DATE"), and
in each case, on the Maturity Date.
If the Base Rate set forth on the face hereof is the CD Rate,
the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime
Rate, the "INTEREST DETERMINATION DATE" pertaining to an Interest Reset Date
for this Security will be the second Business Day next preceding such Interest
Reset Date; if the Base Rate set forth on the face hereof is the 11th District
Cost of Funds Rate, the "INTEREST DETERMINATION DATE" pertaining to an Interest
Reset Date for this Security will be the last working day of the month
immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date on which the Federal Home Loan
Bank of San Francisco
snrfl.not
<PAGE> 12
5
publishes the 11th District Cost of Funds Index (the "11th District Cost of
Funds Index"); if the Base Rate set forth on the face hereof is LIBOR, the
"INTEREST DETERMINATION DATE" pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for this
Security will be the second London Banking Day next preceding such Interest
Reset Date; and if the Base Rate set forth on the face hereof is the Treasury
Rate, the "INTEREST DETERMINATION DATE" pertaining to an Interest Reset Date
for this Security will be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date
falls on which Treasury bills (as defined below) are auctioned. Treasury bills
are usually sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal
holiday, in which case the auction is usually held on the following Tuesday,
except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday. If, as the
result of a legal holiday, an auction is so held on the preceding Friday, such
Friday will be the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset
Date occurring in the next succeeding week.
Unless otherwise set forth on the face hereof, the
"CALCULATION DATE", where applicable, pertaining to an Interest Determination
Date is the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest
Determination Date, or if any such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the
applicable Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be.
The Company will appoint and enter into an agreement with an
agent (a "CALCULATION AGENT") to calculate the rate of interest on the
Securities of this series which bear interest at a floating rate. Unless
otherwise set forth on the face hereof, Society National Bank will be the
Calculation Agent. At the request of the Holder hereof, the Calculation Agent
will provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest
rate that will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date.
Subject to applicable provisions of law and except as
specified herein, with respect to each Interest Determination Date, the rate of
interest shall be the rate determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance
with the provisions of the applicable heading below.
DETERMINATION OF CD RATE. If the Base Rate set forth on the
face hereof is the CD Rate, this Security will bear interest for each Interest
Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to the CD Rate and
the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, and subject to the Minimum
Interest Rate and the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, set forth on the face
hereof. Unless otherwise set forth on the face hereof, the "CD RATE" means,
with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the rate on such date for
negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity set forth on the
face hereof as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System in "STATISTICAL RELEASE H.15(519), SELECTED INTEREST RATES", or any
successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
("H.15(519)") under the heading "CDS (SECONDARY MARKET)" or, if not yet
published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining
to such Interest Determination
snrfl.not

Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for
negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity set forth on the
face hereof as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the daily
statistical release entitled "COMPOSITE 3:30 P.M. QUOTATIONS FOR U.S.
GOVERNMENT SECURITIES" or any successor publication published by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York ("COMPOSITE QUOTATIONS") under the caption
"CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT". If by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date such rate is
not yet published in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, the CD Rate on
such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent
and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of
10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, for
certificates of deposit in the denomination of $5,000,000 with a remaining
maturity closest to the Index Maturity set forth on the face hereof of three
leading nonbank dealers in negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in
The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable
certificates of deposit of major United States money center banks of the
highest credit standing in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation
Agent are not quoting as set forth above, the CD Rate in effect for the
applicable period will be the same as the CD Rate for the immediately preceding
Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Rate Period, the rate
of interest payable on the CD Rate Notes for which such CD Rate is being
determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate).
DETERMINATION OF COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE. If the Base Rate set
forth on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate, this Security will bear
interest for each Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with
reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier,
if any, and subject to the Minimum Interest Rate and Maximum Interest Rate, if
any, set forth on the face hereof. Unless otherwise set forth on the face
hereof, the "COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE" means, with respect to any Interest
Determination Date pertaining thereto, the Money Market Yield (calculated as
described below) of the rate on such date for commercial paper having the Index
Maturity set forth on the face hereof, as such rate shall be published in
H.15(519) under the caption "COMMERCIAL PAPER" or, if not yet published by 9:00
A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest
Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield
of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the
Index Maturity set forth on the face hereof as published in Composite
Quotations under the caption "COMMERCIAL PAPER". If by 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination
Date such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or Composite
Quotations, the Commercial Paper Rate on such Interest Determination Date shall
be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the Money Market Yield of
the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time,
on such Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers in commercial
paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial
paper having the Index
snrfl.not
<PAGE> 14

Maturity set forth on the face hereof placed for an industrial issuer whose
bond rating is "AA", or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized securities
rating agency; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the dealers selected as aforesaid by
the Calculation Agent are not quoting offered rates as mentioned in this
sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate in effect for the applicable period will be
the same as the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest
Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of
interest payable on the Commercial Paper Rate Notes for which such Commercial
Paper Rate is being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate).
"MONEY MARKET YIELD" shall be a yield (expressed as a
percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:
MONEY MARKET YIELD = D x 360 x 100
-----------------
360 - (D x M)
where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted
on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal; and "M" refers to the
actual number of days in the Interest Period for which interest is being
calculated.
DETERMINATION OF FEDERAL FUNDS RATE. If the Base Rate set
forth on the face hereof is the Federal Funds Rate, this Security will bear
interest for each Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with
reference to the Federal Funds Rate and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if
any, and subject to the Minimum Interest Rate and the Maximum Interest Rate, if
any, set forth on the face hereof. Unless otherwise set forth on the face
hereof, the "FEDERAL FUNDS RATE" means, with respect to any Interest
Determination Date pertaining thereto, the rate on such date for Federal funds
as published in H.15(519) under the caption "FEDERAL FUNDS (EFFECTIVE)" or, if
not yet published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date
pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be
the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in Composite
Quotations under the caption "FEDERAL FUNDS/EFFECTIVE RATE". If by 3:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest
Determination Date such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or
Composite Quotations, the Federal Funds Rate for such Interest Determination
Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic
mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal funds arranged
by three leading brokers of Federal funds transactions in The City of New York,
which brokers have been selected by the Calculation Agent, as of 11:00 A.M.,
New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that, if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not
quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate in effect for the
applicable period will be the same as the Federal Funds Rate for the
immediately preceding interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest
Reset Period, the rate of
snrfl.not
<PAGE> 15
8
interest payable on the Federal Funds Rate Notes for which such Federal Funds
Rate is being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate).
DETERMINATION OF LIBOR. If the Base Rate set forth on the
face hereof is LIBOR, this Security will bear interest for each Interest Reset
Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to LIBOR and the Spread
and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, and subject to the Minimum Interest Rate and
the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, set forth on the face hereof. With respect
to Securities indexed to the London interbank offered rate for U.S. dollar
deposits, unless otherwise set forth on the face hereof, "LIBOR" for each
Interest Determination Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent in
accordance with the following provisions:
(i) The rate for deposits in U.S. dollars of the Index
Maturity set forth on the face hereof, commencing on the second
Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date,
that appears on the Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London time,
on such Interest Determination Date ("LIBOR TELERATE"). "TELERATE
PAGE 3750" means the display designated as page "3750" on the Telerate
Service (or such other page as may replace the page 3750 on that
service or such other service or services as may be designated by the
British Bankers' Association for the purpose of displaying London
interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits).
(ii) As of the Interest Determination Date, the
Calculation Agent will determine the arithmetic mean of the offered
rates for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of the Index
Maturity set forth on the face hereof, commencing on the second
Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date
which appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page at approximately 11:00
A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. "REUTERS
SCREEN LIBO PAGE" means the display designated as Page "LIBO" on the
Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace
the LIBO page on that service for the purpose of displaying London
interbank offered rates of major banks).
If neither LIBOR Telerate nor LIBOR Reuters is specified in
the applicable LIBOR Note, LIBOR will be determined as if LIBOR
Telerate had been specified.
(iii) If (a) in the case where paragraph (i) above applies,
no rate appears on the Telerate Page 3750 or (b) in the case where
paragraph (ii) above applies, fewer than two offered rates appear on
the Reuters Screen LIBO Page, the Calculation Agent will request the
principal London offices of each of four major banks in the London
interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the
Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United
States dollars for the period of the specified Index Maturity to prime
banks in the London interbank market at
snrfl.not
<PAGE> 16
9
approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination
Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than
U.S. $1 million that is representative of a single transaction in such
market at such time. If at leaset two such quotations are provided,
LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than
two quotations are provided, LIBOR in respect of such Interest
Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of rates quoted by
three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation
Agent (after consultation with the Corporation) at approximately 11:00
A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date for
loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, for the period of the
specified Index Maturity and in a principal amount of not less than
U.S. $1 million that is representative of a single transaction in such
market at such time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if fewer than three banks
selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting rates as
mentioned in this sentence, "LIBOR" for such Interest Reset Period
will be the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset
Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of
interest payable on the LIBOR Notes for which LIBOR is being
determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate).
If this Security is indexed to the London interbank offered
rate for deposits in a Currency other than U.S. dollars, the method for
determining such rate will be set forth on the face hereof.
DETERMINATION OF PRIME RATE. If the Base Rate set forth on
the face hereof is the Prime Rate, this Security will bear interest for each
Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to the
Prime Rate and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, and subject to the
Minimum Interest Rate and the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, set forth on the
face hereof. Unless otherwise set forth on the face hereof, the "PRIME RATE"
means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date pertaining thereto, the
rate on such date as published in H.15(519) under the caption "Bank Prime
Loan". If such rate is not yet published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on
the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Prime
Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the
rates of interest publicly announced by each bank named on the Reuters Screen
NYMF Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as
in effect for such Interest Determination Date as quoted on the Reuters Screen
NYMF Page on such Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates
appear on the Reuters Screen NYMF Page for such Interest Determination Date,
the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the
basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close
of business on such Interest Determination Date by at least two of the three
major money center banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation
Agent from which quotations are requested. If fewer than two quotations are
provided, such Prime Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will
be the arithmetic mean on the basis
snrfl.not
<PAGE> 17
10
of the prime rates in The City of New York by the appropriate number of
substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing business under the laws
of the United States, or any state thereof, in each case having total equity
capital of at least U.S. $500,000,000 and being subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority, selected by the Calculation Agent
(after consultation with the Company) to provide such rate or rates. "REUTERS
SCREEN NYMF PAGE" means the display designated as page "NYMF" on the Reuters
Monitor Money Rates Service (such term to include such other page as may
replace the NYMF page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates
or base lending rates of major United States banks).
If in any month or two consecutive months the Prime Rate is
not published in H.15(519) and the banks or trust companies selected as
aforesaid are not quoting as mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the "Prime
Rate" for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Prime Rate for the
immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest
Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on the Prime Rate Notes for which
the Prime Rate is being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate). If
this failure continues over three or more consecutive months, the Prime Rate
for each succeeding Interest Determination Date until the maturity or
redemption or repayment of such Prime Rate Notes or, if earlier, until this
failure ceases, shall be LIBOR determined as if such Prime Rate Notes were
LIBOR Notes with an Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, and the
Spread, if any, shall be the number of basis points set forth on the face
hereof as the "ALTERNATIVE RATE EVENT SPREAD."
DETERMINATION OF TREASURY RATE. If the Base Rate set forth on
the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, this Security will bear interest for each
Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to the
Treasury Rate and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, and subject to
the Minimum Interest Rate and the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, set forth on
the face hereof. Unless otherwise set forth on the face hereof, the "TREASURY
RATE" means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date pertaining
thereto, the rate for the auction of direct obligations of the United States
("TREASURY BILLS") held on such Interest Determination Date having the Index
Maturity set forth on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) under the
caption "TREASURY-BILLS AUCTION AVERAGE (INVESTMENT)" or, if not yet published
by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such
Interest Determination Date, the auction average rate for such Interest
Determination Date (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of
365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) as otherwise
announced by the United States Department of the Treasury. In the event that
the results of the auction of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity set
forth on the face hereof are not otherwise reported as provided above by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date or no such auction is held
on such Interest Determinate Date, the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the
Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond
equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and
applied on a daily basis) calculated using the arithmetic mean
snrfl.not
<PAGE> 18
11
(rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point) of the
secondary market bid rates, as of 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such
Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government
securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with
the Company) for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest
to the Index Maturity set forth on the face hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if
the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate for the applicable period will be
the same as the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset
Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest
payable on the Treasury Rate Notes for which the Treasury Rate is being
determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate).
DETERMINATION OF CMT RATE. If the Base Rate set forth on the
face hereof is the CMT Rate, this Security will bear interest for each Interest
Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to the CMT Rate and
the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, and subject to the Minimum
Interest Rate and Maximum Interest Rate, if any, set forth on the face hereof.
Unless otherwise set forth on the face hereof, the "CMT RATE" means, with
respect to any Interest Determination Date pertaining thereto, the rate
displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page (as defined below) under the
caption "Treasury Constant Maturities . . . Federal Reserve Board Release H.15
. . . Mondays Approximately 3:45 P.M.", under the column for the Designated CMT
Maturity Index (as defined below) for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page
is 7055, the rate on such Interest Determination Date and (ii) if the
Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the rate for the week or the month, as
applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related Interest
Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant
page, or if not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation
Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the interest rate for
such Interest Determination Date shall be the rate for the Designated CMT
Maturity Index as published in H.15(519). If such rate is no longer published,
or if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date
pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the interest rate for such
Interest Determination Date will be such Treasury Constant Maturity rate for
the Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the Interest Determination Date with respect
to such Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the
Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate
formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in
H.15(519). If such information is not provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date,
then the interest rate for such Interest Determination Date shall be calculated
by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity, based on the
arithmetic mean (rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage
point) of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately
3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, reported
according to their
snrfl.not
<PAGE> 19
12
records, by three leading primary United States government securities dealers
(each, a "REFERENCE DEALER") in The City of New York, (which may include the
Agents) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers
selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in
the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the
event of equality, one of the lowest)), for the most recently issued direct
noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States ("U.S. TREASURY NOTES")
with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index
and a remaining term to maturity of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity
Index minus one year. If the Calculation Agent cannot obtain three such U.S.
Treasury Note quotations, the interest rate for such Interest Determination
Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to
maturity based on the arithmetic mean (rounded to the nearest one
hundred-thousandth of a percentage point) of the secondary market offer side
prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the Interest
Determination Date reported by three Reference Dealers in The City of New York
(from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and
eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest)), for U.S. Treasury Notes with an original maturity of the number of
years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a
remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in
an amount of at least $100 million. If only three or four of such Reference
Dealers are quoting as described above, then the interest rate shall be based
on the arithmetic mean (rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point) of the offer prices so obtained from all such Reference
Dealers, without eliminating the Reference Dealers providing the highest and
the lowest of such quotes. If fewer than three such Reference Dealers are
quoting as described above, then the interest rate shall be the CMT Rate in
effect on such Interest Determination Date. If two such U.S. Treasury Notes
with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity
equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the CMT Rate
with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.
"DESIGNATED CMT TELERATE PAGE" means the display on the Dow
Jones Telerate Service on the page specified under "CMT Telerate Page" on the
face hereof (or any other page as may replace such page on that service for the
purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519)).
If no such page is so specified, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052
for the most recent week.
"DESIGNATED CMT MATURITY INDEX" means the original period to
maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30
years) with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated specified under
"Index Maturity" on the face hereof. If no such maturity is so specified, the
Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be 2 years.

DETERMINATION OF 11TH DISTRICT COST OF FUNDS RATE. If the
Base Rate set forth on the face hereof is the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate,
this Security will bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at the Interest
Rate calculated with reference to the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate and the
Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, and subject to the Minimum Interest
Rate and Maximum Interest Rate, if any, set forth on the face hereof. Unless
otherwise set forth on the face hereof, "11TH DISTRICT COST OF FUNDS RATE"
means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the rate equal to the
monthly weighted average cost of funds for the calendar month immediately
preceding the month in which such Interest Determination Date falls, as set
forth under the caption "11th District" on the Telerate Page 7058 as of 11 A.M.
San Francisco Time, on such Interest Determination Date. If such rate does not
appear on the Telerate Page 7058 on any relevant Interest Determination Date,
"11TH DISTRICT COST OF FUNDS RATE" means the rate equal to the monthly 11th
District Cost of Funds Index (the "11th District Cost of Funds Index") normally
published by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the "FHLB of San
Francisco") during the month immediately preceding the Interest Reset Date to
which such Interest Determination Date applies.
If the FHLB of San Francisco shall fail in any month to
publish the 11th District Cost of Funds Index (each such failure being referred
to herein as an "Alternative Rate Event"), then the 11th District Cost of Funds
Rate for the Interest Determination Date after the Alternate Rate Event shall
be calculated on the basis of the 11th District Cost of Funds Index most
recently published prior to such Interest Determination Date. If an Alternate
Rate Event occurs in the month immediately following a month in which a prior
Alternate Rate Event occurred, the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate for the
Interest Determination Date immediately following the second Alternate Rate
Event shall be calculated on the basis of the 11th District Cost of Funds Index
most recently published prior to such Interest Determination Date and,
thereafter, the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate for each succeeding Interest
Determination Date shall be LIBOR, determined as though the Interest Rate Basis
were LIBOR with an Index Maturity equal to one month and the Spread, if any,
shall be the number of basis points set forth on the face hereof as the
"Alternate Rate Event Spread," if any.
In determining that the FHLB of San Francisco has failed in
any month to publish the 11th District Cost of Funds Index, the Calculation
Agent may rely conclusively on any written advice from the FHLB of San
Francisco to such effect.
References herein to "U.S. DOLLARS" or "U.S. $" or "$" are to
the currency of the United States of America.
Section 4. REDEMPTION. If so specified on the face hereof,
the Company may at its option redeem this Security in whole or from time to
time in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal
amount of this Security shall not be less than the minimum authorized
denomination of such Security) on or after the date designated as the
snrfl.not
<PAGE> 21
14
Initial Redemption Date on the face hereof at 100% of the unpaid principal
amount hereof or the portion thereof redeemed (or, if this Security is a
Discount Security, such lesser amount as is provided for below) multiplied by
the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof, together with
accrued interest to the Redemption Date. Such Initial Redemption Percentage
shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by an amount
equal to the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face
hereof until the redemption price is 100% of such amount. The Company may
exercise such option by causing the Trustee to mail a notice of such redemption
at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. In the
event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities
for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof. If less than all the Securities of the
series, of which this Security is a part, with differing issue dates, interest
rates and stated maturities are to be redeemed, the Company in its sole
discretion shall select the particular Securities to be redeemed and shall
notify the Trustee in writing thereof at least 45 days prior to the relevant
redemption date. If less than all of the Securities with like tenor and terms
to this Security are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate.
Section 5. REPAYMENT. If so specified on the face hereof,
this Security shall be repayable prior to the Stated Maturity at the option of
the Holder on each applicable Repayment Date shown on the face hereof at the
Repayment Price shown on the face hereof, together with accrued interest to the
Repayment Date. In order for this Security to be repaid, the Paying Agent must
receive at least 30 but not more than 45 days prior to a Repayment Date this
Security with the form attached hereto entitled "OPTION TO ELECT REPAYMENT"
duly completed. Except as set forth in Section 308 of the Indenture, any
tender of this Security for repayment shall be irrevocable. The repayment
option may be exercised by the Holder of this Security in whole or in part in
increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount of this
Security shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof).
Upon any partial repayment, this Security shall be cancelled and a new Security
or Securities for the remaining principal amount hereof shall be issued in the
name of the Holder of this Security.
Section 6. SINKING FUND. Unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, this Security will not be subject to any sinking fund.
Section 7. DISCOUNT SECURITIES. If this Security (such
Security being referred to as an "ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT SECURITY") (a) has
been issued at an Issue Price lower, by more than a DE MINIMIS amount (as
determined under United States federal income tax rules applicable to original
issue discount instruments), than its "stated redemption price at Maturity" (as
defined below) and (b) would be considered an original issue discount security
for United States federal income tax purposes, then the amount payable on this
Security in the
snrfl.not
<PAGE> 22
15
event of redemption by the Company, repayment at the option of the Holder or
acceleration of the maturity hereof, in lieu of the principal amount due at the
Stated Maturity hereof, shall be the Amortized Face Amount (as defined below)
of this Security as of the date of such redemption, repayment or acceleration.
The "AMORTIZED FACE AMOUNT" of this Security shall be the amount equal to the
sum of (a) the Issue Price (as set forth on the face hereof) plus (b) the
aggregate of the portions of the original issue discount (the excess of the
amounts considered as part of the "stated redemption price at maturity" of this
Security within the meaning of Section 1273(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "CODE"), whether denominated as principal or interest,
over the Issue Price of this Security) which shall theretofore have accrued
pursuant to Section 1272 of the Code (without regard to Section 1272(a)(7) of
the Code) from the date of issue of this Security to the date of determination,
minus (c) any amount considered as part of the "stated redemption price at
maturity" of this Security which has been paid on this Security from the date
of issue to the date of determination.
Section 8. MODIFICATION AND WAIVERS. The Indenture permits,
with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the
Holders of the Securities of each series. Such amendment may be effected under
the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of not less than a 66-2/3% in principal amount of all Outstanding
Securities affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities, to waive
compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Provisions
in the Indenture also permit the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal
amount of all Outstanding Securities of any series to waive on behalf of all of
the Holders of all the Securities of such series and any related coupons
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holder of this
Security and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Security.
Section 9. RANKING; OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY ABSOLUTE. The
Securities are unsecured and rank pari passu with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate,
and in the Specified Currency herein prescribed.

Section 10. DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The
Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire
indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default, upon compliance by
the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply
to this Security, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof.
Section 11. AUTHORIZED DENOMINATIONS. Unless otherwise
provided on the face hereof, this Security is issuable only in registered form
without coupons issued in denominations of $100,000 or any amount in excess
thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000. If this Security is
denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars or is a Discount
Security, this Security shall be issuable in the denominations set forth on the
face hereof.
Section 12. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register upon
surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at a Place of Payment
for the series of Securities of which this Security is a part, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
If the registered owner of this Security is the Depository
(such a Security being referred to herein as a "GLOBAL SECURITY") and (i) the
Depository is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository and a
successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days following
notice to the Company or (ii) an Event of Default occurs, the Company will
issue Securities in certificated form in exchange for this Global Security. In
addition, the Company may at any time determine not to have Securities
represented by this Global Security and, in such event, will issue Securities
in certificated form in exchange in whole for this Global Security representing
such Security. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a
Global Security will be entitled to physical delivery in certificated form of
Securities equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have
such Securities registered in its name. Securities so issued in certificated
form will be issued in denominations of $1,000 (or such other denomination as
shall be specified by the Company) or any amount in excess thereof which is an
integral multiple of $1,000 and will be issued in registered form only, without
coupons.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Holder as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 13. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If an Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of the series of which this Security forms a part
shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of this Security may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.
Section 14. DEFINED TERMS. All terms used in this Security
which are defined in the Indenture and are not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

KEYCORP, an Ohio corporation (herein referred to as the
"COMPANY", which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
___________________________________, or registered assigns, the principal sum
of ___________________________on the Stated Maturity shown above (except to the
extent redeemed, repaid, renewed or extended prior to the Stated Maturity) and
to pay interest thereon at the Interest Rate shown above from the Original
Issue Date shown above or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which
interest, if any, has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on June 1
and December 1 of each year (unless other Interest Payment Dates are shown on
the face hereof and except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph) (each,
an "INTEREST PAYMENT DATE") until the principal hereof is paid or made
available for payment and on the Stated Maturity, any Redemption Date or
Repayment Date (such terms are together hereinafter referred to as the
"MATURITY DATE" with respect to the principal repayable on such date);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any payment of principal (or premium, if any) or
interest, if any, to be made on any Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity
Date that is not a Business Day (as defined below) shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such
Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, and no
additional interest, if any, shall accrue on the amount so payable as a result
of such delayed payment. For purposes of this Security, unless otherwise
specified on the face hereof, "BUSINESS DAY" means any day that is not a
Saturday or Sunday and that is not a legal holiday nor a day on which banking
institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close
in The City of New York and (i) with respect to Securities denominated or
payable in a Specified Currency other than ECUs in the financial center of the
country issuing the Specified Currency and (ii) with respect to Notes
denominated or payable in ECUs, in the financial center of each country that
issues a component currency of the ECU, and that is not a non-ECU settlement
day.
Any interest hereon is accrued from, and including, the next
preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest, if any, has been
paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date if
no interest has been paid) to, but excluding, the succeeding Interest Payment
Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. The interest, if any, so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
will, as provided in the Indenture (referred to on the reverse hereof), be paid
to the person (the "HOLDER") in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth
day (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding such Interest Payment Date
(each, a "REGULAR RECORD DATE"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if this
<PAGE> 4
4
Security was issued between a Regular Record Date and the initial Interest
Payment Date relating to such Regular Record Date, interest, if any, for the
period beginning on the Original Issue Date and ending on such initial Interest
Payment Date shall be paid on the Interest Payment Date following the next
succeeding Regular Record Date to the Holder hereof on such next succeeding
Regular Record Date; and PROVIDED FURTHER that interest, if any, payable on the
Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall
be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for
("DEFAULTED INTEREST") will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such
Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the person in whose name this
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on a special record date (the "SPECIAL RECORD DATE") for the payment
of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee (referred to on the
reverse hereof), notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Security
not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any
time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
Unless otherwise specified above, all payments in respect of
this Security will be made in U.S. dollars regardless of the Specified Currency
shown above unless the Holder hereof makes the election described below. If
the Specified Currency shown above is other than U.S. dollars, the Exchange
Rate Agent (referred to on the reverse hereof) will arrange to convert all
payments in respect hereof into U.S. dollars in the manner described on the
reverse hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Holder hereof may, if so indicated
above, elect to receive all payments in such Specified Currency by delivery of
a written request to the corporate trust office of the Trustee in The City of
New York, on or prior to the applicable Regular Record Date or at least fifteen
days prior to the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Such request may be in
writing with a signature guarantee, mailed or hand delivered, or by cable,
telex, or other form of facsimile transmission. The Holder hereof may elect to
receive payment in such Specified Currency for all principal, premium, if any,
and interest payments and need not file a separate election for each payment.
Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the
Trustee, but written notice of any such revocation must be received by the
Trustee on or prior to the Regular Record Date or at least fifteen days prior
to the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Company determines that the Specified Currency is not available for making
payments in respect hereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the Company's control, or is no longer used by the
government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking
community, then the Holder hereof may not so elect to receive payments in the
Specified Currency and any such outstanding election shall be automatically
suspended, until the Company determines that the Specified Currency is again
available for making such payments.
In the event of an official redenomination of the Specified
Currency, the obligations of the Company with respect to payments on this
Security shall, in all cases, be deemed immediately following such
redenomination to provide for payment of that amount of redenominated currency
representing the amount of such obligations immediately before such
redenomination. In no event shall any adjustment be made to any amount payable
hereunder
<PAGE> 5
5
as a result of any change in the value of the Specified Currency shown above
relative to any other currency due solely to fluctuations in exchange rates.
Until the Securities are paid in full or payment therefor in
full is duly provided for, the Company will at all times maintain a Paying
Agent (which Paying Agent may be the Trustee) in The City of Cleveland (which,
unless otherwise specified above, shall be the "PLACE OF PAYMENT"). The
Company has initially appointed Society National Bank at its corporate trust
office in The City of Cleveland as paying agent.
Unless otherwise shown above, payment of interest on this
Security (other than on the Maturity Date) will be made by check mailed to the
registered address of the Holder hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if (i) the
Specified Currency is U.S. dollars and the Holder hereof is the Holder of U.S.
$1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series of
which this Security is a part (whether having identical or different terms and
provisions) or (ii) the Specified Currency is a Foreign Currency, and the
Holder has elected to receive payments in such Specified Currency as provided
for above, such interest payments will be made by transfer of immediately
available funds, but only if appropriate instructions have been received in
writing by the Trustee or Paying Agent on or prior to the applicable Regular
Record Date. Simultaneously with any election by the Holder hereof to receive
payments in respect hereof in the Specified Currency (if other than U.S.
dollars), such Holder may provide appropriate instructions to the Trustee or
Paying Agent, and all such payments will be made in immediately available funds
to an account maintained by the payee with a bank, but only if such bank has
appropriate facilities therefor. Unless otherwise specified above, the
principal hereof (and premium, if any) and interest hereon payable on the
Maturity Date will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender of
this Security at the corporate trust office of the Trustee maintained for that
purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York (or at such
other location as may be specified above). The Company will pay any
administrative costs imposed by banks in making payments in immediately
available funds, but, except as otherwise provided under Additional Amounts
above, any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon payments will be
borne by the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such payments are
made.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest on
this Security, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.
REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS
SECURITY SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR
ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBORDINATION OF THIS

SUBORDINATED MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES B
Section 1. GENERAL. This Security is one of a duly
authorized issue of securities (herein called the "SECURITIES") of the Company,
issued and to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an
indenture, dated as of June 10, 1994, as it may be supplemented from time to
time (herein called the "INDENTURE"), between the Company and Bankers Trust
Company, Trustee (herein called the "TRUSTEE", which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to a series of which this
Security is a part), to which indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto, reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is
one of the series designated on the face hereof which is unlimited in aggregate
principal amount.
Section 2. PAYMENTS. If the Specified Currency is other than
U.S. dollars and the Holder hereof fails to elect payment in such Specified
Currency, the amount of U.S. dollar payments to be made in respect hereof will
be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent specified on the face hereof or a
successor thereto (the "EXCHANGE RATE AGENT") based on the highest bid
quotation in The City of New York at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City
time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from
three recognized foreign exchange dealers selected by the Exchange Rate Agent
(one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is
the applicable agent to or through which this Security was originally sold) for
the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars
for settlement on such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified
Currency payable to all Holders of Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency
scheduled to receive U.S. dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer
commits to execute a contract. If none of such bid quotations are available,
payments will be made in the Specified Currency.
Except as set forth below, if the Specified Currency is other
than U.S. dollars and the Specified Currency is not available due to the
imposition of exchange controls or to other circumstances beyond the Company's
control, or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such
currency or for settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within
the international banking community, the Company will be entitled to make
payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the noon buying rate in The City of
New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency as certified for
customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "MARKET EXCHANGE
RATE") for such Specified Currency on the date of such payment or, if the
Market Exchange Rate is then not available, on the basis of the most recently
available Market Exchange Rate. Any payment made under such circumstances in
U.S. dollars where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than
U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default or Default under the
Indenture.
<PAGE> 8
2
If payment on this Security is required to be made in ECUs and
ECUs are unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Company, or are no longer used in the
European Monetary System, all payments due on that due date with respect to
this Security shall be made in U.S. dollars. The amount so payable on any date
in ECU shall be converted into U.S. dollars, at a rate determined by the
Exchange Rate Agent as of the second Business Day prior to the date on which
such payment is due on the following basis. The component currencies of the
ECU for this purpose (the "COMPONENTS") shall be the currency amounts which
were Components of the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used in the
European Monetary System. The equivalent of the ECU in U.S. dollars shall be
calculated by aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components. The
U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by the
Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange
Rate for such Components.
If the official unit of any Component of the ECU is altered by
way of combination or subdivision, the number of units of that Component shall
be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If two or more Components are
consolidated into a single currency, the amounts of those currencies as
Components shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the
sum of the amounts of the consolidated Components expressed in such single
currency. If any Component is divided into two or more currencies, the amount
of that currency as a Component shall be replaced by amounts of such two or
more currencies, the sum of which shall be equal to the amount of the original
Component currency.
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate
Agent shall be at its sole discretion and, in the absence of manifest error,
shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this
Security.
All currency exchange costs will be borne by the Holder of
this Security through deductions from payments otherwise due to such Holder.
References herein to "U.S. DOLLARS" or "U.S. $" or "$" are to
the currency of the United States of America.
Section 3. REDEMPTION. If so specified on the face hereof,
the Company may at its option redeem this Security in whole or from time to
time in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal
amount of this Security shall not be less than the minimum authorized
denomination of such Security) on or after the date designated as the Initial
Redemption Date on the face hereof at 100% of the unpaid principal amount
hereof or the portion thereof redeemed (or, if this Security is a Discount
Security, such lesser amount as is provided for below) multiplied by the
Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof, together with
accrued interest to the Redemption Date. Such Initial Redemption Percentage
shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by an amount
equal to the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face
hereof until the redemption price is 100% of such amount. The Company may
exercise such option by
<PAGE> 9
3
causing the Trustee to mail a notice of such redemption at least 30 but not
more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. In the event of redemption of
this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed
portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the
cancellation hereof. If less than all the Securities of the series, of which
this Security is a part, with differing issue dates, interest rates and stated
maturities are to be redeemed, the Company in its sole discretion shall select
the particular Securities to be redeemed and shall notify the Trustee in
writing thereof at least 45 days prior to the relevant redemption date. If
less than all of the Securities with like tenor and terms to this Security are
to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee
by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.
Section 4. REPAYMENT. If so specified on the face hereof,
this Security shall be repayable prior to the Stated Maturity at the option of
the Holder on each applicable Repayment Date shown on the face hereof at the
Repayment Price shown on the face hereof, together with accrued interest to the
Repayment Date. In order for this Security to be repaid, the Paying Agent must
receive at least 30 but not more than 45 days prior to a Repayment Date this
Security with the form attached hereto entitled "OPTION TO ELECT REPAYMENT"
duly completed. Except as set forth in Section 308 of the Indenture, any
tender of this Security for repayment shall be irrevocable. The repayment
option may be exercised by the Holder of this Security in whole or in part in
increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount of this
Security shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof).
Upon any partial repayment, this Security shall be cancelled and a new Security
or Securities for the remaining principal amount hereof shall be issued in the
name of the Holder of this Security.
Section 5. SINKING FUND. Unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, this Security will not be subject to any sinking fund.
Section 6. DISCOUNT SECURITIES. If this Security (such
Security being referred to as an "ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT SECURITY") (a) has
been issued at an Issue Price lower, by more than a DE MINIMIS amount (as
determined under United States federal income tax rules applicable to original
issue discount instruments), than its "stated redemption price at Maturity" (as
defined below) and (b) would be considered an original issue discount security
for United States federal income tax purposes, then the amount payable on this
Security in the event of redemption by the Company, repayment at the option of
the Holder or acceleration of the maturity hereof, in lieu of the principal
amount due at the Stated Maturity hereof, shall be the Amortized Face Amount
(as defined below) of this Security as of the date of such redemption,
repayment or acceleration. The "AMORTIZED FACE AMOUNT" of this Security shall
be the amount equal to the sum of (a) the Issue Price (as set forth on the face
hereof) plus (b) the aggregate of the portions of the original issue discount
(the excess of the amounts considered as part of the "stated redemption price
at maturity" of this Security within the meaning of Section 1273(a)(2) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE"), whether denominated as
principal or interest, over the Issue Price of this Security) which shall
theretofore have accrued pursuant to Section 1272 of the Code (without regard
to
<PAGE> 10
4
Section 1272(a)(7) of the Code) from the date of issue of this Security to the
date of determination, minus (c) any amount considered as part of the "stated
redemption price at maturity" of this Security which has been paid on this
Security from the date of issue to the date of determination.
Section 7. MODIFICATION AND WAIVERS. The Indenture permits,
with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the
Holders of the Securities of each series. Such amendment may be effected under
the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of not less than a 66-2/3% in principal amount of all Outstanding
Securities affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities, to waive
compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Provisions
in the Indenture also permit the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal
amount of all Outstanding Securities of any series to waive on behalf of all of
the Holders of all the Securities of such series and any related coupons
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holder of this
Security and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Security.
Section 8. SUBORDINATION; OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY ABSOLUTE.
The indebtedness evidenced by the Securities of this series is, to the extent
provided in the Indenture, subordinated and subject in right of the payment in
full of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all Senior
Indebtedness, as defined in the Indenture, and this Security is issued subject
to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this
Security, by accepting the same, agrees that each holder of Senior
Indebtedness, whether created or acquired before or after the issuance of the
Securities of this series, shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such
provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such
Senior Indebtedness. The Indenture also provides that if, upon the occurrence
of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Company, there
remains, after giving effect to the subordination provisions referred to in
Section 1614 of the Indenture, any amount of cash, property or securities
available for payment or distribution in respect of Securities of this series
(as defined in the Indenture, "EXCESS PROCEEDS"), and if, at such time, any
Entitled Person (as defined in the Indenture) has not received payment in full
of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of Other Senior
Obligations (as defined in the Indenture), then such Excess Proceeds shall
first be applied to pay or provide for the payment in full of such Other Senior
Obligations before any payment or distribution may be made in respect of the
Securities of this series. This Security is also issued subject to the
provisions of the Indenture regarding payments to Entitled Persons in respect
of Other Senior Obligations. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the
same, agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Indenture described herein
and authorizes and directs the Trustee to take such action on his behalf as may
be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the
<PAGE> 11
5
subordination of this Security and payment of Excess Proceeds as provided in
the Indenture and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all
such purposes.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate,
and in the Specified Currency herein prescribed.
Section 9. DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The Indenture
contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness
of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the
related defaults and Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain
conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security, unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof.
Section 10. AUTHORIZED DENOMINATIONS. Unless otherwise
provided on the face hereof, this Security is issuable only in registered form
without coupons issued in denominations of $100,000 or any amount in excess
thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000. If this Security is
denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars or is a Discount
Security, this Security shall be issuable in the denominations set forth on the
face hereof.
Section 11. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register upon
surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at a Place of Payment
for the series of Securities of which this Security is a part, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
If the registered owner of this Security is the Depository
(such a Security being referred to herein as a "GLOBAL SECURITY") and (i) the
Depository is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository and a
successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days following
notice to the Company or (ii) an Event of Default occurs, the Company will
issue Securities in certificated form in exchange for this Global Security. In
addition, the Company may at any time determine not to have Securities
represented by this Global Security and, in such event, will issue Securities
in certificated form in exchange in whole for this Global Security representing
such Security. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a
Global Security will be entitled to physical delivery in certificated form of
Securities equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have
such Securities registered in its name. Securities so issued in certificated
form will be issued in denominations of $1,000 (or such other denomination as
shall be specified by the Company) or any amount in
<PAGE> 12
6
excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000 and will be issued in
registered form only, without coupons.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Holder as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 12. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If an Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of the series of which this Security forms a part
shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of this Security may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.
Section 13. DEFINED TERMS. All terms used in this Security
which are defined in the Indenture and are not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
Section 14. GOVERNING LAW. This Security shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

KEYCORP, an Ohio corporation (herein referred to as the
"Company", which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
___________________________________, or registered assigns, the principal sum
of __________________________ on the Stated Maturity shown above (except to the
extent redeemed, repaid or renewed prior to the Stated Maturity) and to pay
interest thereon at the Initial Interest Rate shown above from the Original
Issue Date shown above until the first Interest Reset Date shown above
following the Original Issue Date (if the first Interest Reset Date is later
than the Original Issue Date) and thereafter at the interest rate determined by
reference to the Base Rate shown above, plus or minus the Spread, if any,
and/or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, shown above, determined in
accordance with the provisions on the reverse hereof, until the principal
hereof is paid or duly made available for payment; provided, however, that the
interest rate in effect for the ten days immediately prior to the Maturity Date
(as defined below) of this Security will be that in effect on the tenth day
preceding such date. The Company will pay interest on each Interest Payment
Date specified above, commencing with the first Interest Payment Date (except
as provided in the next succeeding paragraph) next succeeding the Original
Issue Date, and on the Stated Maturity, any Redemption Date or Repayment Date
(such terms together are hereinafter referred to as a "Maturity Date" with
respect to the principal repayable on such date); provided, however, that any
payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest to be made on any
Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date that is not a Business Day (as
defined below) shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (except that
in the case of interest payments on an Interest Payment Date and if the Base
Rate specified above is LIBOR, and such day falls in the next succeeding
calendar month, such payment will be made on the next preceding Business Day)
as described on the reverse hereof. For purposes of this Security, unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, "Business Day" means any day that is
not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a legal holiday nor a day on which
banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation
to close in The City of New York and (i) in respect of LIBOR (as defined
below), in the city of London, (ii) with respect to Securities denominated or
payable in a Specified Currency other than ECUs in the financial center of the
country issuing the Specified Currency, (iii) with respect to Notes denominated
or payable in ECUs, in the financial center of each country that issues a
component currency of the ECU, and that is not a non-ECU settlement day.
"London Banking Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S.
dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture (referred
to on the reverse hereof), be paid to the person (the "Holder") in whose name
this Security (or one or more Predecessor
subfl.not
<PAGE> 4

Securities) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day
(whether or not a Business Day) next preceding such Interest Payment Date (a
"Regular Record Date"); provided, however, that, if this Security was issued
between a Regular Record Date and the initial Interest Payment Date relating to
such Regular Record Date, interest for the period beginning on the Original
Issue Date and ending on such initial Interest Payment Date shall be paid on
the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record Date to
the Holder on such Regular Record Date; and provided further that interest
payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the
principal hereof shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or
duly provided for ("Defaulted Interest") will forthwith cease to be payable to
the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the person in
whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered
at the close of business on a special record date (the "Special Record Date")
for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee (referred
to on the reverse hereof), notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this
Security not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be
paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the
Indenture.
Unless otherwise specified above, all payments in respect of
this Security will be made in U.S. dollars regardless of the Specified Currency
shown above unless the Holder hereof makes the election described below. If
the Specified Currency shown above is other than U.S. dollars, the Exchange
Rate Agent (referred to on the reverse hereof) will arrange to convert all
payments in respect hereof into U.S. dollars in the manner described on the
reverse hereof; provided, however, that the Holder hereof may, if so indicated
above, elect to receive all payments in such Specified Currency by delivery of
a written request to the corporate trust office of the Trustee in The City of
New York, on or prior to the applicable Regular Record Date or at least fifteen
days prior to the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Such request may be in
writing with a signature guarantee, mailed or hand delivered, or by cable,
telex, or other form of facsimile transmission. The Holder hereof may elect to
receive payment in such Specified Currency for all principal, premium, if any,
and interest payments and need not file a separate election for each payment.
Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the
Trustee, but written notice of any such revocation must be received by the
Trustee on or prior to the Regular Record Date or at least fifteen days prior
to the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Company determines that the Specified Currency is not available for making
payments in respect hereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the Company's control, or is no longer used by the
government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking
community, then the Holder hereof may not so elect to receive payments in the
Specified Currency and any such outstanding election shall be automatically
suspended, until the Company determines that the Specified Currency is again
available for making such payments.
In the event of an official redenomination of the Specified
Currency, the obligations of the Company with respect to payments on this
Security shall, in all cases, be deemed immediately following such
redenomination to provide for payment of that amount of
subfl.not

redenominated currency representing the amount of such obligations immediately
before such redenomination. In no event shall any adjustment be made to any
amount payable hereunder as a result of any change in the value of the
Specified Currency shown above relative to any other currency due solely to
fluctuations in exchange rates.
Until the Securities are paid in full or payment therefor in
full is duly provided for, the Company will at all times maintain a Paying
Agent (which Paying Agent may be the Trustee) in The City of Cleveland (which,
unless otherwise specified above, shall be the "Place of Payment"). The
Company has initially appointed Society National Bank at its corporate trust
office in The City of Cleveland as paying agent.
Unless otherwise shown above, payment of interest on this
Security (other than on the Maturity Date) will be made by check mailed to the
registered address of the Holder hereof; provided, however, that, if (i) the
Specified Currency is U.S. dollars and the Holder hereof is the Holder of U.S.
$1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series of
which this Security is a part (whether having identical or different terms and
provisions) or (ii) the Specified Currency is a Foreign Currency, and the
Holder has elected to receive payments in such Specified Currency as provided
for above, such interest payments will be made by transfer of immediately
available funds, but only if appropriate instructions have been received in
writing by the Trustee or Paying Agent on or prior to the applicable Regular
Record Date. Simultaneously with any election by the Holder hereof to receive
payments in respect hereof in the Specified Currency (if other than U.S.
dollars), such Holder may provide appropriate instructions to the Trustee or
Paying Agent, and all such payments will be made in immediately available funds
to an account maintained by the payee with a bank, but only if such bank has
appropriate facilities therefor. Unless otherwise specified above, the
principal hereof (and premium, if any) and interest hereon payable on the
Maturity Date will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender of
this Security at the corporate trust office of the Trustee maintained for that
purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York (or at such
other location as may be specified above). The Company will pay any
administrative costs imposed by banks in making payments in immediately
available funds, but, except as otherwise provided under Additional Amounts
above, any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon payments will be
borne by the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such payments are
made.
REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS
SECURITY SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR
ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBORDINATION OF THIS
SECURITY TO THE COMPANY'S SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Authenticating Agent on behalf of the Trustee by manual
signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

SUBORDINATED MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES B
Section 1. GENERAL. This Security is one of a duly
authorized issue of securities (herein called the "SECURITIES") of the Company,
issued and to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an
indenture, dated as of June 10, 1994, as it may be supplemented from time to
time (herein called the "INDENTURE"), between the Company and Bankers Trust
Company, Trustee (herein called the "TRUSTEE", which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to a series of which this
Security is a part), to which indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto, reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is
one of the series designated on the face hereof which is unlimited in aggregate
principal amount.
Section 2. PAYMENTS. If the Specified Currency is other than
U.S. dollars and the Holder hereof fails to elect payment in such Specified
Currency, the amount of U.S. dollar payments to be made in respect hereof will
be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent specified on the face hereof or a
successor thereto (the "EXCHANGE RATE AGENT") based on the highest bid
quotation in The City of New York at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City
time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from
three recognized foreign exchange dealers selected by the Exchange Rate Agent
(one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is
the applicable agent to or through which this Security was originally sold) for
the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars
for settlement on such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified
Currency payable to all Holders of Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency
scheduled to receive U.S. dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer
commits to execute a contract. If none of such bid quotations are available,
payments will be made in the Specified Currency.
Except as set forth below, if the Specified Currency is other
than U.S. dollars and the Specified Currency is not available due to the
imposition of exchange controls or to other circumstances beyond the Company's
control, or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such
currency or for settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within
the international banking community, the Company will be entitled to make
payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the noon buying rate in The City of
New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency as certified for
customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "MARKET EXCHANGE
RATE") for such Specified Currency on the date of such payment or, if the
Market Exchange Rate is then not available, on the basis of the most recently
available Market Exchange Rate. Any payment made under such circumstances in
U.S. dollars where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than
U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default or Default under the
Indenture.

If payment on this Security is required to be made in ECUs and
ECUs are unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Company, or are no longer used in the
European Monetary System, all payments due on that due date with respect to
this Security shall be made in U.S. dollars. The amount so payable on any date
in ECU shall be converted into U.S. dollars, at a rate determined by the
Exchange Rate Agent as of the second Business Day prior to the date on which
such payment is due on the following basis. The component currencies of the
ECU for this purpose (the "COMPONENTS") shall be the currency amounts which
were Components of the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used in the
European Monetary System. The equivalent of the ECU in U.S. dollars shall be
calculated by aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components. The
U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by the
Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange
Rate for such Components.
If the official unit of any Component of the ECU is altered by
way of combination or subdivision, the number of units of that Component shall
be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If two or more Components are
consolidated into a single currency, the amounts of those currencies as
Components shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the
sum of the amounts of the consolidated Components expressed in such single
currency. If any Component is divided into two or more currencies, the amount
of that currency as a Component shall be replaced by amounts of such two or
more currencies, the sum of which shall be equal to the amount of the original
Component currency.
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate
Agent shall be at its sole discretion and, in the absence of manifest error,
shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this
Security.
All currency exchange costs will be borne by the Holder of
this Security through deductions from payments otherwise due to such Holder.
Section 3. INTEREST RATE CALCULATIONS. Unless otherwise set
forth on the face hereof, the following provisions of this Section 3 shall
apply to the calculation of interest on this Security. If the first Interest
Reset Date is later than the Original Issue Date, this Security will bear
interest from its Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date at the
Initial Interest Rate set forth on the face hereof. Thereafter, the interest
rate hereon for each Interest Reset Period (as defined below) will be
determined by reference to the Base Rate set forth on the face hereof, as
adjusted by the Spread, the Spread Multiplier or other formula, if any, set
forth on the face hereof.
As set forth on the face hereof, this Security may also have
either or both of the following: (i) a maximum limitation, or ceiling, on the
rate at which interest may accrue during any Interest Period (as defined below)
("MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE"); and (ii) a minimum limitation, or floor, on the rate
at which interest may accrue during any Interest Period ("MINIMUM INTEREST
RATE"). In addition to any Maximum Interest Rate that may be set forth
subfl.not
<PAGE> 9
3
on the face hereof, the interest rate on this Security will in no event be
higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be
modified by United States law of general application.
The rate of interest hereon will be reset daily, weekly,
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually (each, an "INTEREST RESET
PERIOD", and the first day of each Interest Reset Period being an "INTEREST
RESET DATE"), as set forth on the face hereof. The Interest Reset Date will
be, if this Security resets (i) daily, each Business Day; (ii) weekly, the
Wednesday of each week (unless the Base Rate set forth on the face hereof is
the Treasury Rate); weekly and if the Base Rate set forth on the face hereof is
the Treasury Rate, the Tuesday of each week (except as provided below); (iii)
monthly, the third Wednesday of each month (except in the case of 11th District
Cost of Funds Rate Notes, for which the Interest Reset Date will be the first
calendar day of each month); (iv) quarterly, the third Wednesday of March,
June, September and December of each year; (v) semi-annually, the third
Wednesday of the two months set forth on the face hereof; and (vi) annually,
the third Wednesday of the month set forth on the face hereof; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the interest rate in effect from the date of issue to the first
Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate set forth on the face
hereof. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a
Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next succeeding Business
Day, except that, if the Base Rate set forth on the face hereof is LIBOR, if
such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset
Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.
The interest payable hereon on each Interest Payment Date and
on the Maturity Date shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including
the Original Issue Date or the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has
been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. If
the Stated Maturity falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Stated Maturity
will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect
as if made on the Stated Maturity, and no interest shall accrue on the amount
so payable as a result of such delayed payment. If an Interest Payment Date
other than the Stated Maturity falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such
Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day
and interest will accrue for the period of such postponement (except if the
Base Rate specified above is LIBOR, and such day falls in the next succeeding
calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be advanced to the immediately
preceding Business Day), it being understood that, to the extent this sentence
is inconsistent with Section 112 of the Indenture, the provisions of this
sentence shall apply in lieu of such Section.
Accrued interest will be calculated by multiplying the
principal amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest
factor will be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day
in the Interest Period or from the date from which accrued interest is being
calculated. The interest factor for each such day is computed by dividing the
interest rate applicable on such day by 360, if the Base Rate set forth on the
face
subfl.not
<PAGE> 10

hereof is the CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate,
LIBOR, CMT Rate or 11th District Cost of Funds Rate (as described below), or by
the actual number of days in the year, if the Base Rate set forth on the face
hereof is the Treasury Rate (as described below). The interest rate applicable
to any day that is an Interest Reset Date is the interest rate as determined,
in accordance with the procedures hereinafter set forth, with respect to the
Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest
Reset Date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate
for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial
Interest Rate, as set forth on the face hereof).
All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation with
respect hereto will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one
hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a
percentage point rounded upward (E.G., 7.123455% (or 0.07123455) being rounded
to 7.12346% (or 0.0712346) and 7.123454% (or 0.07123454) being rounded to
7.12345% (or 0.0712345)), and all currency amounts used in or resulting from
such calculation will be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a unit (with
five one-thousandths of a unit being rounded upwards).
Interest will be payable on, if this Security resets (i)
daily, weekly or monthly, the third Wednesday of each month or on the third
Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year, as set forth on
the face hereof; (ii) quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September
and December of each year; (iii) semi-annually, the third Wednesday of the two
months set forth on the face hereof; and (iv) annually, the third Wednesday of
the month set forth on the face hereof (each, an "INTEREST PAYMENT DATE"), and
in each case, on the Maturity Date.
If the Base Rate set forth on the face hereof is the CD Rate,
the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime
Rate, the "INTEREST DETERMINATION DATE" pertaining to an Interest Reset Date
for this Security will be the second Business Day next preceding such Interest
Reset Date; if the Base Rate set forth on the face hereof is the 11th District
Cost of Funds Rate, the "INTEREST DETERMINATION DATE" pertaining to an Interest
Reset Date for this Security will be the last working day of the month
immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date on which the Federal Home Loan
Bank of San Francisco publishes the 11th District Cost of Funds Index (the
"11th District Cost of Funds Index"); if the Base Rate set forth on the face
hereof is LIBOR, the "INTEREST DETERMINATION DATE" pertaining to an Interest
Reset Date for this Security will be the second London Banking Day next
preceding such Interest Reset Date; and if the Base Rate set forth on the face
hereof is the Treasury Rate, the "INTEREST DETERMINATION DATE" pertaining to an
Interest Reset Date for this Security will be the day of the week in which such
Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills (as defined below) are
auctioned. Treasury bills are usually sold at auction on Monday of each week,
unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is usually held
on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding
Friday. If, as the result of a legal holiday, an auction is so held on the
preceding Friday, such Friday will be the
subfl.not
<PAGE> 11

Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in
the next succeeding week.
Unless otherwise set forth on the face hereof, the
"CALCULATION DATE", where applicable, pertaining to an Interest Determination
Date is the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest
Determination Date, or if any such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the
applicable Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be.
The Company will appoint and enter into an agreement with an
agent (a "CALCULATION AGENT") to calculate the rate of interest on the
Securities of this series which bear interest at a floating rate. Unless
otherwise set forth on the face hereof, Society National Bank will be the
Calculation Agent. At the request of the Holder hereof, the Calculation Agent
will provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest
rate that will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date.
Subject to applicable provisions of law and except as
specified herein, with respect to each Interest Determination Date, the rate of
interest shall be the rate determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance
with the provisions of the applicable heading below.
DETERMINATION OF CD RATE. If the Base Rate set forth on the
face hereof is the CD Rate, this Security will bear interest for each Interest
Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to the CD Rate and
the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, and subject to the Minimum
Interest Rate and the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, set forth on the face
hereof. Unless otherwise set forth on the face hereof, the "CD RATE" means,
with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the rate on such date for
negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity set forth on the
face hereof as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System in "STATISTICAL RELEASE H.15(519), SELECTED INTEREST RATES", or any
successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
("H.15(519)") under the heading "CDS (SECONDARY MARKET)" or, if not yet
published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining
to such Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such
Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the
Index Maturity set forth on the face hereof as published by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York in the daily statistical release entitled "COMPOSITE 3:30 P.M.
QUOTATIONS FOR U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES" or any successor publication
published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("COMPOSITE QUOTATIONS")
under the caption "CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT". If by 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date
such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, the
CD Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the
Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market
offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest
Determination Date, for certificates of deposit in the denomination of
$5,000,000 with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity set forth on
the face hereof of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable U.S. dollar
certificates of deposit in The City of New York selected by the Calculation
Agent
subfl.not
<PAGE> 12

for negotiable certificates of deposit of major United States money center
banks of the highest credit standing in the market for negotiable certificates
of deposit; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the
Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, the CD Rate in effect
for the applicable period will be the same as the CD Rate for the immediately
preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Rate Period,
the rate of interest payable on the CD Rate Notes for which such CD Rate is
being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate).
DETERMINATION OF COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE. If the Base Rate set
forth on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate, this Security will bear
interest for each Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with
reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier,
if any, and subject to the Minimum Interest Rate and Maximum Interest Rate, if
any, set forth on the face hereof. Unless otherwise set forth on the face
hereof, the "COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE" means, with respect to any Interest
Determination Date pertaining thereto, the Money Market Yield (calculated as
described below) of the rate on such date for commercial paper having the Index
Maturity set forth on the face hereof, as such rate shall be published in
H.15(519) under the caption "COMMERCIAL PAPER" or, if not yet published by 9:00
A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest
Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield
of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the
Index Maturity set forth on the face hereof as published in Composite
Quotations under the caption "COMMERCIAL PAPER". If by 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination
Date such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or Composite
Quotations, the Commercial Paper Rate on such Interest Determination Date shall
be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the Money Market Yield of
the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time,
on such Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers in commercial
paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial
paper having the Index Maturity set forth on the face hereof placed for an
industrial issuer whose bond rating is "AA", or the equivalent, from a
nationally recognized securities rating agency; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the
dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting offered
rates as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate in effect for
the applicable period will be the same as the Commercial Paper Rate for the
immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest
Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on the Commercial Paper Rate Notes
for which such Commercial Paper Rate is being determined shall be the Initial
Interest Rate).
"MONEY MARKET YIELD" shall be a yield (expressed as a
percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:
MONEY MARKET YIELD = D x 360 x 100
-----------------
360 - (D x M)
subfl.not
<PAGE> 13

where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted
on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal; and "M" refers to the
actual number of days in the Interest Period for which interest is being
calculated.
DETERMINATION OF FEDERAL FUNDS RATE. If the Base Rate set
forth on the face hereof is the Federal Funds Rate, this Security will bear
interest for each Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with
reference to the Federal Funds Rate and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if
any, and subject to the Minimum Interest Rate and the Maximum Interest Rate, if
any, set forth on the face hereof. Unless otherwise set forth on the face
hereof, the "FEDERAL FUNDS RATE" means, with respect to any Interest
Determination Date pertaining thereto, the rate on such date for Federal funds
as published in H.15(519) under the caption "FEDERAL FUNDS (EFFECTIVE)" or, if
not yet published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date
pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be
the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in Composite
Quotations under the caption "FEDERAL FUNDS/EFFECTIVE RATE". If by 3:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest
Determination Date such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or
Composite Quotations, the Federal Funds Rate for such Interest Determination
Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic
mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal funds arranged
by three leading brokers of Federal funds transactions in The City of New York,
which brokers have been selected by the Calculation Agent, as of 11:00 A.M.,
New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that, if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not
quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate in effect for the
applicable period will be the same as the Federal Funds Rate for the
immediately preceding interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest
Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on the Federal Funds Rate Notes for
which such Federal Funds Rate is being determined shall be the Initial Interest
Rate).
DETERMINATION OF LIBOR. If the Base Rate set forth on the
face hereof is LIBOR, this Security will bear interest for each Interest Reset
Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to LIBOR and the Spread
and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, and subject to the Minimum Interest Rate and
the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, set forth on the face hereof. With respect
to Securities indexed to the London interbank offered rate for U.S. dollar
deposits, unless otherwise set forth on the face hereof, "LIBOR" for each
Interest Determination Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent in
accordance with the following provisions:
(i) The rate for deposits in U.S. dollars of the Index
Maturity set forth on the face hereof, commencing on the second
Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date,
that appears on the Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London time,
on such Interest Determination Date ("LIBOR TELERATE"). "TELERATE
PAGE 3750" means the display designated as page "3750" on the Telerate
Service (or such other page as may replace the page 3750 on that
service or such other service or
subfl.not
<PAGE> 14
8
services as may be designated by the British Bankers' Association for
the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S.
dollar deposits).
(ii) As of the Interest Determination Date, the
Calculation Agent will determine the arithmetic mean of the offered
rates for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of the Index
Maturity set forth on the face hereof, commencing on the second
Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date
which appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page at approximately 11:00
A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. REUTERS
SCREEN LIBO PAGE" means the display designated as Page "LIBO" on the
Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace
the LIBO page on that service for the purpose of displaying London
interbank offered rates of major banks).
If neither LIBOR Telerate nor LIBOR Reuters is specified in
the applicable LIBOR Note, LIBOR will be determined as if LIBOR
Telerate had been specified.
(iii) If (a) in the case where paragraph (i) above applies,
no rate appears on the Telerate Page 3750 or (b) in the case where
paragraph (ii) above applies, fewer than two offered rates appear on
the Reuters Screen LIBO Page, the Calculation Agent will request the
principal London offices of each of four major banks in the London
interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the
Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United
States dollars for the period of the specified Index Maturity to prime
banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M.,
London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal
amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1 million that is
representative of a single transaction in such market at such time.
If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the
arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are
provided, LIBOR in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be
the arithmetic mean of rates quoted by three major banks in The City
of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with
the Corporation) at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on
such Interest Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading
European banks, for the period of the specified Index Maturity and in
a principal amount of not less than U.S. $1 million that is
representative of a single transaction in such market at such
time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if fewer than three banks selected as
aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting rates as mentioned in
this sentence, "LIBOR" for such Interest Reset Period will be the same
as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if
there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable
on the LIBOR Notes for which LIBOR is being determined shall be the
Initial Interest Rate).
If this Security is indexed to the London interbank offered
rate for deposits in a Currency other than U.S. dollars, the method for
determining such rate will be set forth on the face hereof.

DETERMINATION OF PRIME RATE. If the Base Rate set forth on
the face hereof is the Prime Rate, this Security will bear interest for each
Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to the
Prime Rate and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, and subject to the
Minimum Interest Rate and the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, set forth on the
face hereof. Unless otherwise set forth on the face hereof, the "PRIME RATE"
means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date pertaining thereto, the
rate on such date as published in H.15(519) under the caption "Bank Prime
Loan". If such rate is not yet published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on
the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Prime
Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the
rates of interest publicly announced by each bank named on the Reuters Screen
NYMF Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as
in effect for such Interest Determination Date as quoted on the Reuters Screen
NYMF Page on such Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates
appear on the Reuters Screen NYMF Page for such Interest Determination Date,
the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the
basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close
of business on such Interest Determination Date by at least two of the three
major money center banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation
Agent from which quotations are requested. If fewer than two quotations are
provided, such Prime Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will
be the arithmetic mean on the basis of the prime rates in The City of New York
by the appropriate number of substitute banks or trust companies organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States, or any state thereof, in
each case having total equity capital of at least U.S. $500,000,000 and being
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, selected
by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company) to provide such
rate or rates. "REUTERS SCREEN NYMF PAGE" means the display designated as
page "NYMF" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (such term to include
such other page as may replace the NYMF page on that service for the purpose of
displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks).
If in any month or two consecutive months the Prime Rate is
not published in H.15(519) and the banks or trust companies selected as
aforesaid are not quoting as mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the "Prime
Rate" for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Prime Rate for the
immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest
Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on the Prime Rate Notes for which
the Prime Rate is being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate). If
this failure continues over three or more consecutive months, the Prime Rate
for each succeeding Interest Determination Date until the maturity or
redemption or repayment of such Prime Rate Notes or, if earlier, until this
failure ceases, shall be LIBOR determined as if such Prime Rate Notes were
LIBOR Notes with an Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, and the
Spread, if any, shall be the number of basis points set forth on the face
hereof as the "ALTERNATIVE RATE EVENT SPREAD."
DETERMINATION OF TREASURY RATE. If the Base Rate set forth on
the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, this Security will bear interest for each
Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to the
Treasury Rate and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if
subfl.not
<PAGE> 16

any, and subject to the Minimum Interest Rate and the Maximum Interest Rate, if
any, set forth on the face hereof. Unless otherwise set forth on the face
hereof, the "TREASURY RATE" means, with respect to any Interest Determination
Date pertaining thereto, the rate for the auction of direct obligations of the
United States ("TREASURY BILLS") held on such Interest Determination Date
having the Index Maturity set forth on the face hereof as published in
H.15(519) under the caption "TREASURY-BILLS AUCTION AVERAGE (INVESTMENT)" or,
if not yet published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date
pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the auction average rate for
such Interest Determination Date (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis
of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) as
otherwise announced by the United States Department of the Treasury. In the
event that the results of the auction of Treasury Bills having the Index
Maturity set forth on the face hereof are not otherwise reported as provided
above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date or no such
auction is held on such Interest Determinate Date, the Treasury Rate shall be
calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed
as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable,
and applied on a daily basis) calculated using the arithmetic mean (rounded to
the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point) of the secondary
market bid rates, as of 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest
Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government
securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with
the Company) for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest
to the Index Maturity set forth on the face hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if
the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate for the applicable period will be
the same as the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset
Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest
payable on the Treasury Rate Notes for which the Treasury Rate is being
determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate).
DETERMINATION OF CMT RATE. If the Base Rate set forth on the
face hereof is the CMT Rate, this Security will bear interest for each Interest
Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to the CMT Rate and
the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, and subject to the Minimum
Interest Rate and Maximum Interest Rate, if any, set forth on the face hereof.
Unless otherwise set forth on the face hereof, the "CMT RATE" means, with
respect to any Interest Determination Date pertaining thereto, the rate
displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page (as defined below) under the
caption "Treasury Constant Maturities . . . Federal Reserve Board Release H.15
. . . Mondays Approximately 3:45 P.M.", under the column for the Designated CMT
Maturity Index (as defined below) for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page
is 7055, the rate on such Interest Determination Date and (ii) if the
Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the rate for the week or the month, as
applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related Interest
Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant
page, or if not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation
Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the interest rate for
such Interest Determination Date shall be the rate for the Designated CMT
Maturity Index as published in H.15(519). If such rate is no longer published,
or if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date
subfl.not
<PAGE> 17
11
pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the interest rate for such
Interest Determination Date will be such Treasury Constant Maturity rate for
the Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the Interest Determination Date with respect
to such Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the
Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate
formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in
H.15(519). If such information is not provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date,
then the interest rate for such Interest Determination Date shall be calculated
by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity, based on the
arithmetic mean (rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage
point) of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately
3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, reported
according to their records, by three leading primary United States government
securities dealers (each, a "Reference Dealer") in The City of New York, (which
may include the Agents) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such
Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest
quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest
quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for the most
recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States
("U.S. TREASURY NOTES") with an original maturity of approximately the
Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity of not less than
such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If the Calculation Agent
cannot obtain three such U.S. Treasury Note quotations, the interest rate for
such Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent
and shall be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean (rounded to the
nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point) of the secondary market
offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the
Interest Determination Date reported by three Reference Dealers in The City of
New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent
and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest)), for U.S. Treasury Notes with an original maturity of the number of
years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a
remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in
an amount of at least $100 million. If only three or four of such Reference
Dealers are quoting as described above, then the interest rate shall be based
on the arithmetic mean (rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point) of the offer prices so obtained from all such Reference
Dealers, without eliminating the Reference Dealers providing the highest and
the lowest of such quotes. If fewer than three such Reference Dealers are
quoting as described above, then the interest rate shall be the CMT Rate in
effect on such Interest Determination Date. If two such U.S. Treasury Notes
with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity
equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the CMT Rate
with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.
"DESIGNATED CMT TELERATE PAGE" means the display on the Dow
Jones Telerate Service on the page specified under "CMT Telerate Page" on the
face hereof (or any other
subfl.not
<PAGE> 18
12
page as may replace such page on that service for the purpose of displaying
Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519)). If no such page is so
specified, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052 for the most recent
week.
"DESIGNATED CMT MATURITY INDEX" means the original period to
maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30
years) with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated specified under
"Index Maturity" on the face hereof. If no such maturity is so specified, the
Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be 2 years.
DETERMINATION OF 11TH DISTRICT COST OF FUNDS RATE. If the
Base Rate set forth on the face hereof is the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate,
this Security will bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at the Interest
Rate calculated with reference to the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate and the
Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, and subject to the Minimum Interest
Rate and Maximum Interest Rate, if any, set forth on the face hereof. Unless
otherwise set forth on the face hereof, "11TH DISTRICT COST OF FUNDS RATE"
means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the rate equal to the
monthly weighted average cost of funds for the calendar month immediately
preceding the month in which such Interest Determination Date falls, as set
forth under the caption "11th District" on the Telerate Page 7058 as of 11 A.M.
San Francisco Time, on such Interest Determination Date. If such rate does not
appear on the Telerate Page 7058 on any relevant Interest Determination Date,
"11TH DISTRICT COST OF FUNDS RATE" means the rate equal to the monthly 11th
District Cost of Funds Index (the "11th District Cost of Funds Index") normally
published by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the "FHLB of San
Francisco") during the month immediately preceding the Interest Reset Date to
which such Interest Determination Date applies.
If the FHLB of San Francisco shall fail in any month to
publish the 11th District Cost of Funds Index (each such failure being referred
to herein as an "Alternative Rate Event"), then the 11th District Cost of Funds
Rate for the Interest Determination Date after the Alternate Rate Event shall
be calculated on the basis of the 11th District Cost of Funds Index most
recently published prior to such Interest Determination Date. If an Alternate
Rate Event occurs in the month immediately following a month in which a prior
Alternate Rate Event occurred, the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate for the
Interest Determination Date immediately following the second Alternate Rate
Event shall be calculated on the basis of the 11th District Cost of Funds Index
most recently published prior to such Interest Determination Date and,
thereafter, the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate for each succeeding Interest
Determination Date shall be LIBOR, determined as though the Interest Rate Basis
were LIBOR with an Index Maturity equal to one month and the Spread, if any,
shall be the number of basis points set forth on the face hereof as the
"Alternate Rate Event Spread," if any.
In determining that the FHLB of San Francisco has failed in
any month to publish the 11th District Cost of Funds Index, the Calculation
Agent may rely conclusively on any written advice from the FHLB of San
Francisco to such effect.

Section 4. REDEMPTION. If so specified on the face hereof,
the Company may at its option redeem this Security in whole or from time to
time in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal
amount of this Security shall not be less than the minimum authorized
denomination of such Security) on or after the date designated as the Initial
Redemption Date on the face hereof at 100% of the unpaid principal amount
hereof or the portion thereof redeemed (or, if this Security is a Discount
Security, such lesser amount as is provided for below) multiplied by the
Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof, together with
accrued interest to the Redemption Date. Such Initial Redemption Percentage
shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by an amount
equal to the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face
hereof until the redemption price is 100% of such amount. The Company may
exercise such option by causing the Trustee to mail a notice of such redemption
at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. In the
event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities
for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof. If less than all the Securities of the
series, of which this Security is a part, with differing issue dates, interest
rates and stated maturities are to be redeemed, the Company in its sole
discretion shall select the particular Securities to be redeemed and shall
notify the Trustee in writing thereof at least 45 days prior to the relevant
redemption date. If less than all of the Securities with like tenor and terms
to this Security are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate.
Section 5. REPAYMENT. If so specified on the face hereof,
this Security shall be repayable prior to the Stated Maturity at the option of
the Holder on each applicable Repayment Date shown on the face hereof at the
Repayment Price shown on the face hereof, together with accrued interest to the
Repayment Date. In order for this Security to be repaid, the Paying Agent must
receive at least 30 but not more than 45 days prior to a Repayment Date this
Security with the form attached hereto entitled "OPTION TO ELECT REPAYMENT"
duly completed. Except as set forth in Section 308 of the Indenture, any
tender of this Security for repayment shall be irrevocable. The repayment
option may be exercised by the Holder of this Security in whole or in part in
increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount of this
Security shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof).
Upon any partial repayment, this Security shall be cancelled and a new Security
or Securities for the remaining principal amount hereof shall be issued in the
name of the Holder of this Security.
Section 6. SINKING FUND. Unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, this Security will not be subject to any sinking fund.
Section 7. DISCOUNT SECURITIES. If this Security (such
Security being referred to as an "ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT SECURITY") (a) has
been issued at an Issue Price lower, by more
subfl.not
<PAGE> 20
14
than a DE MINIMIS amount (as determined under United States federal income tax
rules applicable to original issue discount instruments), than its "stated
redemption price at maturity" (as defined below) and (b) would be considered an
original issue discount security for United States federal income tax purposes,
then the amount payable on this Security in the event of redemption by the
Company, repayment at the option of the Holder or acceleration of the maturity
hereof, in lieu of the principal amount due at the Stated Maturity hereof,
shall be the Amortized Face Amount (as defined below) of this Security as of
the date of such redemption, repayment or acceleration. The "AMORTIZED FACE
AMOUNT" of this Security shall be the amount equal to the sum of (a) the Issue
Price (as set forth on the face hereof) plus (b) the aggregate of the portions
of the original issue discount (the excess of the amounts considered as part of
the "stated redemption price at maturity" of this Security within the meaning
of Section 1273(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), whether denominated as principal or interest, over the Issue Price of
this Security) which shall theretofore have accrued pursuant to Section 1272 of
the Code (without regard to Section 1272(a)(7) of the Code) from the date of
issue of this Security to the date of determination, minus (c) any amount
considered as part of the "stated redemption price at maturity" of this
Security which has been paid on this Security from the date of issue to the
date of determination.
Section 8. MODIFICATION AND WAIVERS. The Indenture permits,
with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the
Holders of the Securities of each series. Such amendment may be effected under
the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of not less than a 66-2/3% in principal amount of all Outstanding
Securities affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities, to waive
compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Provisions
in the Indenture also permit the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal
amount of all Outstanding Securities of any series to waive on behalf of all of
the Holders of all the Securities of such series and any related coupons
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holder of this
Security and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Security.
Section 9. SUBORDINATION; OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY ABSOLUTE.
The indebtedness evidenced by the Securities of this series is, to the extent
provided in the Indenture, subordinated and subject in right of the payment in
full of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all Senior
Indebtedness, as defined in the Indenture, and this Security is issued subject
to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this
Security, by accepting the same, agrees that each holder of Senior
Indebtedness, whether created or acquired before or after the issuance of the
Securities of this series, shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such
provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or
subfl.not
<PAGE> 21
15
in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness. The Indenture also provides
that if, upon the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency
relating to the Company, there remains, after giving effect to the
subordination provisions referred to in Section 1614 of the Indenture, any
amount of cash, property or securities available for payment or distribution in
respect of Securities of this series (as defined in the Indenture, "EXCESS
PROCEEDS"), and if, at such time, any Entitled Person (as defined in the
Indenture) has not received payment in full of all amounts due or to become due
on or in respect of Other Senior Obligations (as defined in the Indenture),
then such Excess Proceeds shall first be applied to pay or provide for the
payment in full of such Other Senior Obligations before any payment or
distribution may be made in respect of the Securities of this series. This
Security is also issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture regarding
payments to Entitled Persons in respect of Other Senior Obligations. Each
Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, agrees to be bound by the
provisions of the Indenture described herein and authorizes and directs the
Trustee to take such action on his behalf as may be necessary or appropriate to
acknowledge or effectuate the subordination of this Security and payment of
Excess Proceeds as provided in the Indenture and appoints the Trustee his
attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate,
and in the Specified Currency herein prescribed.
Section 10. DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The
Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire
indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Default, upon compliance by the Company
with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this
Security, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof.
Section 11. AUTHORIZED DENOMINATIONS. Unless otherwise
provided on the face hereof, this Security is issuable only in registered form
without coupons issued in denominations of $100,000 or any amount in excess
thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000. If this Security is
denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars or is a Discount
Security, this Security shall be issuable in the denominations set forth on the
face hereof.
Section 12. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register upon
surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at a Place of Payment
for the series of Securities of which this Security is a part, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

If the registered owner of this Security is the Depository
(such a Security being referred to herein as a "GLOBAL SECURITY") and (i) the
Depository is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository and a
successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days following
notice to the Company or (ii) an Event of Default occurs, the Company will
issue Securities in certificated form in exchange for this Global Security. In
addition, the Company may at any time determine not to have Securities
represented by this Global Security and, in such event, will issue Securities
in certificated form in exchange in whole for this Global Security representing
such Security. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a
Global Security will be entitled to physical delivery in certificated form of
Securities equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have
such Securities registered in its name. Securities so issued in certificated
form will be issued in denominations of $1,000 (or such other denomination as
shall be specified by the Company) or any amount in excess thereof which is an
integral multiple of $1,000 and will be issued in registered form only, without
coupons.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Holder as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 13. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If an Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of the series of which this Security forms a part
shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of this Security may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.
Section 14. DEFINED TERMS. All terms used in this Security
which are defined in the Indenture and are not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.
