KEYCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of
KeyCorp and its subsidiaries ("KeyCorp"). All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of
management, the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect all
adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, and disclosures which are necessary
for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented and
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related notes included in KeyCorp's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders. In
addition, certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to
conform with the current year presentation. The results of operations for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to
be expected for the full year.
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of," SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights--an
Amendment of SFAS No. 65," and SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" were adopted by KeyCorp on January 1, 1996, and did not have a
material effect on KeyCorp's financial condition or results of operations. Under
an election available in the adoption of SFAS No. 123, KeyCorp continues to
account for stock options issued to employees under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
2. MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
COMPLETED TRANSACTIONS
Mergers and acquisitions completed by KeyCorp during 1995 (each of which was
accounted for as a purchase business combination) are summarized below. There
were no such transactions during the three-month period ended March 31, 1996.

that had approximately $3.2 billion in assets under management on the date
of acquisition.
</TABLE>
AutoFinance Group, Inc.
On September 27, 1995, KeyCorp acquired AutoFinance Group, Inc. ("AFG"), a
Chicago-based automobile finance company operating in 28 states, in a tax-free
exchange of stock. Under the terms of the merger agreement, 9,554,003 KeyCorp
Common Shares, with a value of approximately $325 million, were exchanged for
all of the outstanding shares of AFG common stock (based on an exchange ratio of
.5 shares for each share of AFG). In addition, immediately prior to the closing,
AFG completed a spin-off to its shareholders of 95.01% of its common stock
interest in Patlex Corporation, a wholly owned patent exploitation and
enforcement subsidiary. In connection with the transaction, which was accounted
for as a purchase, KeyCorp recorded goodwill of approximately $270 million,
which is being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of 25
years.

Schaenen Wood & Associates, Inc.
On April 21, 1995, KeyCorp Asset Management Holdings, Inc., an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of KeyCorp, sold Schaenen Wood & Associates, Inc., an asset
management subsidiary. An $11 million loss was realized in connection with the
sale ($6 million after tax, $.02 per Common Share) and recorded as an
extraordinary item in the first quarter.
KeyCorp Mortgage Inc.
On March 31, 1995, KeyCorp sold the residential mortgage servicing operations of
KeyCorp Mortgage Inc. ("KMI"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of KeyCorp.
KMI serviced approximately $25 billion of residential mortgage loans. KeyCorp
continues to service commercial mortgages, to originate residential mortgage
loans through its banking franchise and to sell the rights to service
residential mortgages through Key Mortgage Services, Inc., an indirect newly
formed subsidiary. A $72 million gain was realized on the KMI sale ($42 million
after tax, $.17 per Common Share) and recorded as an extraordinary item.
TRANSACTION PENDING AS OF MARCH 31, 1996
Society First Federal Savings Bank
On November 20, 1995, KeyCorp entered into a definitive agreement for the sale
of Society First Federal Savings Bank, its Florida savings association
subsidiary. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 1996,
pending necessary regulatory approvals and result in an immaterial gain.
Following consummation of the sale, and subject to regulatory approval, KeyCorp
expects to continue to provide private banking services in Florida through its
trust company located in Naples, Florida.
3. SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
Debt securities that KeyCorp has the positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity are classified as securities held to maturity and are carried at cost,
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the level
yield method. Securities held to maturity and equity securities that do not have
readily determinable fair values are presented as investment securities on the
balance sheet. Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally
for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading
account assets, reported at fair value ($42 million as of March 31, 1996) and
included in short-term investments on the balance sheet. Realized and unrealized
gains and losses are reported in other income on the income statement. Debt and
equity securities that KeyCorp has not classified as investment securities or
trading account assets are classified as securities available for sale and, as
such, are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of
deferred taxes, reported as a component of shareholders' equity.
During the fourth quarter of 1995, the FASB granted companies a one-time
opportunity to reassess and, if appropriate, reclassify their securities from
the held-to-maturity category to the available-for-sale category without calling
into question the company's intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in
the future. This opportunity appears to have been granted in response to appeals
by the banking industry following a clarification of the position of the bank
regulatory authorities on related securities accounting matters, a position
which if known prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," would have caused KeyCorp to
classify significantly more securities as available for sale upon adoption of
SFAS No. 115. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 1995, KeyCorp
reclassified substantially all held-to-maturity debt securities, except
securities of states and political subdivisions, to the available-for-sale
category. The reclassified securities totaled approximately $8.0 billion and had
an amortized cost which approximated fair value.
At March 31, 1996, approximately $7.5 billion of securities were classified as
available for sale and shareholders' equity was reduced by $15 million,
representing the net unrealized loss on these securities, net of deferred income
taxes.

6. NONPERFORMING ASSETS
KeyCorp considers all nonaccrual loans to be impaired loans, except for
smaller-balance, homogeneous loans excluded in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." A loan is not
deemed impaired during a period of delay in payment of 90 days or less if
KeyCorp expects to collect all amounts due, including interest accrued at the
contractual interest rate, for the period of delay.
Impaired loans are evaluated individually. Where collateral exists, the extent
of impairment is determined based on the estimated fair value of the underlying
collateral. If collateral does not exist, or is insufficient to support the
carrying value, management looks to other means of collection. Where the
estimated fair value of the collateral and the present value of the estimated
future cash flows from other means of collection do not support the carrying
value of the loan, management charges off that portion of the loan balance which
it believes will not ultimately be collected. In instances where collateral or
other sources of repayment appear sufficient, yet uncertainty exists regarding
the ultimate repayment, an allowance is specifically allocated for in the
allowance for loan losses.
KeyCorp excludes smaller-balance, homogeneous nonaccrual loans from impairment
evaluation. Generally these include loans to finance residential mortgages,
automobiles, recreational vehicles, boats and mobile homes. KeyCorp applies
historical loss experience rates to these loans, adjusted based on management's
assessment of emerging credit trends and other factors. The resulting loss
estimates are specifically allocated for by loan type in the allowance for loan
losses. In general, such loans are charged off when payment is 120-180 days past
due.
At March 31, 1996, the recorded investment in impaired loans was $186 million.
Included in this amount is $94 million of impaired loans for which the
specifically allocated allowance for loan losses is $32 million, and $92 million
of impaired loans which are carried at their estimated fair value without a
specifically allocated allowance for loan losses. At the end of the prior year,
$126 million of impaired loans had a specifically allocated allowance of $40
million and $79 million were carried at their estimated fair value. The decrease
in impaired loans since the 1995 year end was due primarily to the sale of one
commercial loan of $20 million. The average recorded investment in impaired
loans for the first quarter of 1996 was $188 million, down from $190 million for
the first quarter of last year.
Nonperforming assets were as follows (in millions):

8. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate (provision for income taxes as a percentage of income
before income taxes) for the 1996 first quarter was 31.5% compared to 26.2% for
the first quarter of 1995. The lower 1995 first quarter effective tax rate as
compared to 1996 was primarily attributable to the first quarter 1995
recognition of one-time tax benefits totaling $16 million related to
acquisitions made in years prior to 1992. The effective tax rate remains below
the statutory Federal rate of 35% due primarily to the impact of continued
investment in tax-advantaged assets (such as corporate owned life insurance) and
the recognition of credits associated with investments in low-income housing
projects.
9. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
During the first quarter of 1995, KeyCorp recorded an extraordinary net gain of
$61 million ($36 million after tax, $.15 per Common Share), representing the net
effect of a gain of $72 million ($42 million after tax, $.17 per Common Share)
from the sale of the residential mortgage servicing operations of KMI, an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of KeyCorp, and a loss of $11 million ($6
million after tax, $.02 per Common Share) on the sale of Schaenen Wood &
Associates, Inc., an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of
KeyCorp. These transactions are described in greater detail in Note 2, Mergers,
Acquisitions and Divestitures, beginning on page 7.

<PAGE> 13
10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
KeyCorp, mainly through its affiliate banks, is party to various financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk. The banks use these financial
instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of
their customers and to manage their exposure to market risk effectively. Market
risk is the possibility that KeyCorp's net interest income will be adversely
affected as a result of changes in interest rates or other economic factors. The
primary financial instruments used include commitments to extend credit, standby
and commercial letters of credit, interest rate swaps, caps and floors, futures
and foreign exchange forward contracts. All of the interest rate swaps, caps and
floors, and foreign exchange forward contracts held are over-the-counter
instruments. These financial instruments may be used for lending-related, asset
and liability management and trading purposes, as discussed in the remainder of
this note. In addition to the market risks inherent in the use of these
financial instruments, each contains an element of credit risk. Credit risk is
the possibility that KeyCorp will incur a loss due to a counterparty's failure
to perform its contractual obligations.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD OR ISSUED FOR LENDING RELATED PURPOSES
These instruments involve, to varying degrees, credit risk in excess of amounts
recognized in KeyCorp's consolidated balance sheet. KeyCorp mitigates its
exposure to credit risk through internal controls over the extension of credit.
These controls include the process of credit approval and review, the
establishment of credit limits and, when deemed necessary, securing collateral.
The banks' commitments to extend credit are agreements with customers to provide
financing at predetermined terms as long as the customer continues to meet
specified criteria. Loan commitments serve to meet the financing needs of the
banks' customers and generally carry variable rates of interest, have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses, and may require the payment of
fees. Since the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total
amount of the commitments does not necessarily represent the future cash outlay
to be made by KeyCorp. The credit-worthiness of each customer is evaluated on a
case-by-case basis. The estimated fair values of these commitments and the
standby letters of credit discussed below are not material. KeyCorp does not
have any significant concentrations of credit risk.
Standby letters of credit enhance the credit-worthiness of the banks' customers
by assuring the customers' financial performance to third parties in connection
with specified transactions. Amounts drawn under standby letters of credit
generally carry variable rates of interest, and the credit risk involved is
essentially the same as that involved in the extension of loan facilities.
The following is a summary of the contractual amount of each class of
lending-related off-balance sheet financial instrument outstanding wherein
KeyCorp's maximum possible accounting loss equals the contractual amount of the
instruments (in millions):

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD OR ISSUED FOR ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT PURPOSES
KeyCorp manages its exposure to market risk, in part, by using off-balance sheet
instruments to modify the existing interest rate risk characteristics of its
assets and liabilities. Primary among the financial instruments used by both
KeyCorp and its affiliate banks are interest rate swap contracts. Interest rate
swaps used for this purpose are designated as portfolio swaps. The notional
amount of the interest rate swap contracts represents an agreed-upon amount on
which calculations of interest payments to be exchanged are based, and is
significantly greater than the amount at risk. Credit risk is measured as the
cost of replacing, at current market rates, contracts in an unrealized gain
position. KeyCorp deals exclusively with counterparties with high credit
ratings, enters into bilateral collateral arrangements and arranges master
netting agreements. These agreements include legal rights of setoff that provide
for the net settlement of the subject contracts with the same counterparty in
the event of default. Although KeyCorp is exposed to credit-related losses in
the event of nonperformance by the counterparties, based on management's
assessment as of March 31, 1996, all counterparties were expected to meet their
obligations. At March 31, 1996, KeyCorp had credit exposure of an aggregate $14
million to 6 counterparties, with the largest credit exposure to an individual
counterparty amounting to $9 million.
Under conventional interest rate swap contracts, payments based on fixed or
variable rates are received based upon the notional amounts of the swaps in
exchange for payments based on variable or fixed rates. Under an indexed
amortizing swap contract, the notional amount remains constant for a specified
period of time after which, based upon the level of the index at each payment
review date, the swap contract will mature, the notional amount will begin to
amortize, or the swap will continue in effect until its contractual maturity.
Otherwise, the characteristics of these swaps are similar to those of
conventional swap contracts. At March 31, 1996, KeyCorp was party to $2.1
billion and $3.3 billion of indexed amortizing swaps that used a LIBOR (London
Interbank Offered Rates) index and a CMT (Constant Maturity Treasuries) index,
respectively, for the payment review date measurement. Under basis swap
contracts, interest payments based on different floating indices are exchanged.
The following table summarizes the notional amount, fair value, maturity and
weighted average rate received and paid for the various types of portfolio
interest rate swaps used by KeyCorp (in millions):

</TABLE>
Based on the weighted average rates in effect at March 31, 1996, the spread on
portfolio interest rate swaps, excluding the amortization of net deferred losses
on terminated swaps, provided a slightly positive impact on net interest income
(since the weighted average rate received exceeded the weighted average rate
paid by 77 basis points). The aggregate negative fair value of $(33) million at
the same date was derived through the use of discounted cash flow models, which
contemplate interest rates using the applicable forward yield curve, and
represents an estimate of the unrealized loss that would be recognized if the
portfolio were to be liquidated at that date.

Portfolio interest rate swaps are used to manage interest rate risk by modifying
the repricing or maturity characteristics of specified on-balance sheet assets
and liabilities. Interest from these swaps is recognized on an accrual basis
over the lives of the respective contracts as an adjustment of the interest
income or expense of the asset or liability whose risk is being managed. Gains
and losses realized upon the termination of interest rate swaps prior to
maturity are deferred and amortized, generally using the straight-line method
over the projected remaining life of the related swap contract at its
termination. Including the impact of both the spread on the swap portfolio and
the amortization of the deferred gains and losses resulting from terminated
swaps, portfolio interest rate swaps increased net interest income for the first
quarter of 1996 by $9 million, and reduced net interest income by $13 million
for the same period in 1995. During 1995, swaps with a notional amount of $1.4
billion were terminated, resulting in net deferred losses of $49 million.
KeyCorp recognized $38 million of swap losses during the first quarter of 1995
in connection with the sale of the residential mortgage loan servicing business.
These recognized losses, which were direct costs of disposing of the business,
were included in the determination of the net gain from the sale. The losses
included $15 million of the $49 million of deferred swap losses referred to
above and $23 million of deferred swap losses recorded prior to 1995. During the
first quarter of 1996, swaps with a notional amount of $500 million were
terminated, resulting in a deferred gain of $.3 million.

KeyCorp also uses futures contracts to manage the risk associated with the
potential impact of adverse movements in interest rates. These contracts are
commitments to either purchase or sell designated financial instruments at
future dates for specified prices. KeyCorp had no futures contracts outstanding
at March 31, 1996.
15
<PAGE> 16
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD OR ISSUED FOR TRADING PURPOSES
KeyCorp's affiliate banks also use interest rate swap, cap and floor contracts
for dealer activities (which are generally limited to the banks' commercial loan
customers) and enter into other positions with third parties that are intended
to mitigate the interest rate risk of the customer positions. Interest rate swap
contracts entered into with customers are typically limited to conventional
swaps, as previously described. The customer swaps, caps and floors, as well as
the third party positions, are recorded at their estimated fair values, and
adjustments to fair value are included in other income on the income statement.
KeyCorp also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to accommodate the
business needs of its customers and for proprietary trading purposes. These
contracts provide for the delayed delivery or purchase of foreign currency. The
foreign exchange risk associated with such contracts is mitigated by entering
into other foreign exchange contracts with third parties. Adjustments to the
fair value of all such foreign exchange forward contracts are included in other
income on the income statement.
A summary of the notional amount and the respective fair value of derivative
financial instruments held or issued for trading purposes at March 31, 1996, and
on average for the three-month period then ended, is presented below (in
millions). The positive fair values represent assets to KeyCorp and are recorded
in other assets, while the negative fair values represent liabilities and are
recorded in other liabilities on the balance sheet.
At March 31, 1996, credit exposure from financial instruments held or issued for
trading purposes is limited to the aggregate fair value of each contract with a
positive fair value, or $29 million. The risk of counterparties defaulting on
their obligations is monitored on an ongoing basis. The parent company and its
affiliate banks contract with counterparties of good credit standing and enter
into master netting agreements when possible in an effort to manage credit risk.
Trading income recognized on interest rate and foreign exchange forward
contracts totaled $1 million and $3 million, respectively, for both the first
three months of 1996 and 1995.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
KEYCORP
We have reviewed the unaudited consolidated balance sheets of KeyCorp and
subsidiaries ("KeyCorp") as of March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash
flow for the three-month periods then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of KeyCorp's management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed
for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of KeyCorp as of December 31, 1995,
and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders'
equity, and cash flow for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our
report dated January 16, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet
from which it has been derived.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
This section of the report, including the highlights summarized below, provides
a discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations
of KeyCorp and its subsidiaries ("KeyCorp") for the periods presented. It
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated interim financial
statements and notes thereto, presented on pages 3 through 16.
During the first quarter of 1996, a number of actions were taken in connection
with the execution of KeyCorp's strategic plan. These actions reflect
continuing efforts to reallocate resources to businesses with higher earnings
potential and to focus on certain customer segments, while emphasizing
technology to enhance service capability. Specifically, KeyCorp launched its
first small-business specialty center in Columbus, Ohio and experienced
significant growth in telephone banking, as new loan volume generated by
KeyCorp's 24-hour telebanking centers was nearly double that produced in the
first quarter of 1995. The opening of the specialty center is part of an
overall plan to transform the branch network into customized "KeyCenters" which
target the needs of specific customer segments. Other actions included the
formation of two new subsidiaries which provide specialized services, primarily
to corporate and institutional customers. Key Global Finance, Ltd. provides
sophisticated, asset-specific structured financing to large corporate clients,
while Key Capital Markets, Inc. ("KCMI"), a broker-dealer registered with the
National Association of Broker Dealers, provides foreign exchange, financial
risk management and financial advisory services to its institutional clients in
the public and private sector. KCMI also engages in certain underwriting and
dealing activities authorized by the Federal Reserve Board. In May 1996,
KeyCorp also entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Carleton, McCreary,
Holmes & Co., a Cleveland-based investment-banking firm specializing in mergers
and acquisitions and other financial advisory services for mid-sized and large
corporate clients. The transaction is expected to close during the third
quarter, pending necessary regulatory approvals.
In addition to the above actions, during the first quarter management continued
to take certain steps to manage KeyCorp's balance sheet in accordance with
strategies developed in mid-1995 to improve returns to shareholders, improve
liquidity and enhance capital flexibility. These steps included the sale of
$500 million of residential mortgage loans, the securitization and sale of $38
million of auto loans and the continued, planned runoff of lower-yielding
securities.
KeyCorp continued to manage its capital base proactively to optimize returns to
shareholders. During the first quarter, 3.4 million KeyCorp Common Shares were
repurchased as part of the 12 million Common Shares repurchase program
authorized by the KeyCorp Board of Directors in January 1996. The repurchase of
these shares reflected, in large part, the additional capital flexibility
achieved through loan sales and securitizations completed in the first quarter
and in 1995. In addition, the Board of Directors approved the redemption of the
10% Cumulative Preferred Stock effective June 30, 1996.
In January, the merger of KeyCorp's Indiana and Michigan affiliate banks was
completed as the first step in the plans to combine the affiliate banks in the
Great Lakes Region. The final stage of the Great Lakes reorganization is
targeted for completion in June with the merger of the Indiana/Michigan bank
with and into Society National Bank, KeyCorp's principal bank subsidiary
located in Ohio. The resulting bank will be named KeyBank National Association.
The above items are discussed in greater detail in the remainder of this
discussion and in the notes to the consolidated interim financial statements
referred to above.

tax, $.15 per Common Share) was recorded in connection with the sales of
certain subsidiaries. This net gain included a gain of $72 million ($42 million
after tax, $.17 per Common Share) from the sale of the residential mortgage
loan servicing business and a loss of $11 million ($6 million after tax, $.02
per Common Share) incurred in connection with the sale of Schaenen Wood &
Associates, Inc., an asset management subsidiary. Efforts to reconfigure the
balance sheet in order to reduce exposure to changes in interest rates resulted
in net losses of $49 million ($31 million after tax, $.13 per Common Share)
from the sales of securities. In addition, KeyCorp recorded a one-time tax
benefit of $16 million, or $.07 per Common Share, which related to acquisitions
completed in prior years. In the aggregate, these nonrecurring items increased
1995 first quarter earnings by $21 million, or $.09 per Common Share.
Excluding the impact of the above items, operating earnings for the first
quarter of 1996 were up $19 million, or 10%, from the comparable prior year
period. Contributing to the increase in comparative results were a $24 million
increase in taxable-equivalent net interest income and a $29 million increase
in noninterest income. These positive factors were partially offset by a $26
million increase in the provision for loan losses and a $9 million increase in
noninterest expense. The efficiency ratio improved to 61.22% for the first
quarter of 1996 from 64.12% for the first quarter of 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, which is comprised of interest and loan-related fee income
less interest expense, is the principal source of earnings for KeyCorp. Net
interest income is affected by a number of factors including the level,
pricing, mix and maturity of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
(both on and off-balance sheet), interest rate fluctuations and asset quality.
To facilitate comparisons in the following discussion, net interest income is
presented on a taxable-equivalent basis, which restates tax-exempt income to an
amount that would yield the same after-tax income had the income been subject
to taxation at the statutory Federal income tax rate.
Various components of the balance sheet and their respective yields and rates
which affect interest income and expense are illustrated in Figure 3. The
information presented in Figure 4 provides a summary of the effect on net
interest income of changes in yields/rates and average balances from the first
quarter of 1995 to the first quarter of 1996. A more in-depth discussion of
changes in earning assets and funding sources is presented in the Financial
Condition section beginning on page 31.
For the first quarter of 1996 net interest income was $669 million, up $26
million, or 4%, from the same period last year. This increase resulted from a
net interest margin which rose by 32 basis points to 4.70% and more than offset
the impact of a planned decrease of $2.0 billion, or 3%, in average earning
assets. The net interest margin is computed by dividing annualized
taxable-equivalent net interest income by average earning assets.
The increase in the net interest margin as compared to the year ago quarter
reflected the origination of new loans with wider interest rate spreads as well
as the impact of continued actions taken to reconfigure the balance sheet.
Primary among these actions were loan securitizations and sales which were
completed during the past three quarters and the fourth quarter 1995 securities
sales. These actions are more fully described in the following Asset and
Liability Management section. Other factors which contributed to the improved
margin were the reinvestment of funds from maturing securities into
higher-yielding loans and the replacement of market-priced funding with similar
instruments having lower interest rates during the fourth quarter of last year.
The net interest margin continued to rise in the first quarter of 1996 and was
17 basis points higher than the fourth quarter of 1995.
Average earning assets for the first quarter totaled $58.2 billion, which was
$2.0 billion, or 3%, lower than the first quarter 1995 level. This decrease was
due primarily to a $2.3 billion, or 19%, decline in securities (including both
investment securities and securities available for sale) and a $765 million, or
60%, decline in short-term investments. Partially offsetting the decreases in
securities and short-term investments was a $912 million, or 2%, increase in
loans. Average earning assets comprised 89% of average total assets during the
first quarter of 1996 and 91% during the first quarter of 1995.
KeyCorp uses portfolio interest rate swaps (as defined in Note 10, Financial
Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk, beginning on page 13) in the
management of its interest rate sensitivity position. The notional amount of
such swaps decreased to $10.2 billion at March 31, 1996, from $11.1 billion at
year-end 1995. For the first quarter of 1996, interest rate swaps contributed
$9 million and 6 basis points to net interest income and the net interest
margin, respectively, including the impact of both the spread on the swap
portfolio and the amortization of deferred gains and losses resulting from
terminated swaps. During the same period in 1995, interest rate swaps reduced
net interest income by $13 million and the net interest margin by 9 basis
points. The manner in which interest rate swaps are used in KeyCorp's overall
program of asset and liability management is described in the following Asset
and Liability Management section.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Asset/Liability Management Committees
KeyCorp manages its exposure to economic loss from fluctuations in interest
rates through an active program of asset and liability management pursuant to
guidelines established by its Asset/Liability Management Policy Committee, and
strategies formulated and implemented by the Asset/Liability Strategy Committee
(collectively, "ALCO"). The ALCO has the responsibility for approving the
asset/liability management policies of KeyCorp, formulating and implementing
strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and/or earnings, and reviewing
the interest rate sensitivity positions of the Corporation and each of its
affiliate banks. Both asset/liability management committees meet at least
monthly.
The primary tool utilized by management to measure and manage interest rate
exposure is a simulation model. Use of the model to perform simulations of
changes in interest rates over one- and two-year time horizons has enabled
management to develop strategies for managing exposure to interest rate risk.
In its simulations, management estimates the impact on net interest income of
various pro forma changes in the overall level of interest rates. These
estimates are based on a large number of assumptions related to loan and
deposit growth, prepayments, interest rates, and other factors. Management
believes that both individually and in the aggregate these assumptions are
reasonable, but the complexity of the simulation modeling process results in a
sophisticated estimate, not a precise calculation of exposure. For example,
estimates of future cash flows must be made for instruments without contractual
repayment schedules.
24
<PAGE> 25
The ALCO guidelines provide that a gradual 200 basis point increase or decrease
in short-term rates over the next twelve-month period should not result in more
than a 2% impact on net interest income from what net interest income would
have been if interest rates did not change. KeyCorp is well within these
guidelines, largely as a result of actions taken in the fourth quarter of 1994
and the first quarter of 1995 (primarily the sales of securities and the
execution and termination of interest rate swaps) to significantly reduce
KeyCorp's liability-sensitive position, and the ongoing employment of an
effective balance sheet management program. While the above actions reduced
exposure to changes in short-term interest rates, net interest income and the
net interest margin were negatively impacted due to increased reliance on
fixed-rate market priced funding at higher interest rates.
Recent Management Actions
During the latter half of 1995, a number of actions were taken in connection
with the execution of asset/liability management strategies designed to improve
liquidity, reduce longer-term interest rate exposure and enhance capital
management flexibility. These actions included KeyCorp's first securitization
and sale of auto loans (in the amount of $299 million), the sale of
approximately $1.0 billion of residential mortgage loans, the reclassification
of approximately $8.0 billion of securities from the investment securities to
the securities available-for-sale portfolio in connection with a one-time
opportunity provided by the FASB, the sale of $1.3 billion of securities and
the execution of $1.0 billion of indexed amortizing receive fixed swaps and
$1.0 billion of pay fixed swaps. During the same period, KeyCorp repurchased
5.8 million of its Common Shares. In the first quarter of 1996, KeyCorp sold an
additional $500 million of residential mortgage loans, securitized and sold an
additional $38 million of auto loans and repurchased 3.4 million Common Shares.
Management will continue to evaluate strategies to securitize and/or sell
loans, taking into account the strategies' impacts on liquidity, capital and
earnings.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
KeyCorp's core lending and deposit-gathering businesses tend to generate
significantly more fixed-rate deposits than fixed-rate interest-earning assets.
Left unaddressed, this tendency results in an asset-sensitive position and
would place KeyCorp's earnings at risk to declining interest rates as
interest-earning assets would reprice faster than would interest-bearing
liabilities. In addition to KeyCorp's securities portfolio, management has
utilized interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk by modifying the
repricing or maturity characteristics of specified on-balance sheet assets and
liabilities. Interest rate swaps used for this purpose are designated as
portfolio swaps. The decision to use portfolio interest rate swaps versus
on-balance sheet securities to manage interest rate risk has depended on
various factors, including funding costs, liquidity, and capital requirements.
As summarized in Figure 5, KeyCorp's portfolio swaps totaled $10.2 billion at
March 31, 1996, and consisted principally of contracts wherein KeyCorp receives
a fixed rate of interest while paying a variable rate.

Conventional interest rate swap contracts involve the receipt of amounts based
on fixed or variable rates in exchange for payments based on variable or fixed
rates, without an exchange of the underlying notional amount. Under an indexed
amortizing swap contract, the notional amount remains constant for a specified
period of time after which, based upon the level of the index at each payment
review date, the swap contract will mature, the notional amount will amortize,
or the swap will continue in effect until its contractual maturity. Otherwise,
the characteristics of these swaps are similar to those of conventional swap
contracts.

In addition to portfolio swaps, KeyCorp has entered into interest rate swap
contracts to accommodate the needs of its customers, typically commercial loan
customers, and other positions with third parties that are intended to mitigate
the interest rate risk of the customer positions. Adjustments to the fair
values of such swaps are included in other income on the income statement. The
$3.5 billion notional amount of customer swaps presented in Figure 5 includes
$1.6 billion of interest rate swaps that receive a fixed rate and pay a
variable rate and $1.9 billion of interest rate swaps that pay a fixed rate and
receive a variable rate.
The total notional amount of all interest rate swap contracts outstanding was
$13.7 billion at March 31, 1996, $14.0 billion at December 31, 1995, and $11.0
billion at March 31, 1995. The weighted average rates presented in Figure 5 are
those in effect at March 31, 1996. Portfolio interest rate swaps increased net
interest income and the net interest margin by $9 million and by 6 basis
points, respectively, during the first quarter of 1996. These increases
reflected the impact of a positive spread on the first quarter 1996 swap
portfolio, which more than offset the amortization of deferred losses from
swaps terminated in prior periods. As of March 31, 1996, the spread on
portfolio interest rate swaps, which excludes the amortization of net deferred
swap losses, provided a positive impact on net interest income (since the
weighted average rate received exceeded the weighted average rate paid by 77
basis points). The portfolio had an aggregate negative fair value of $(33)
million at the same date. The aggregate fair value was estimated through the
use of discounted cash flow models which contemplate interest rates using the
applicable forward yield curve. As shown in Figure 5, the estimated fair value
of KeyCorp's total interest rate swap portfolio decreased during the first
quarter of 1996 from a fair value of $164 million at December 31, 1995. The
decline in fair value over the past three months reflected the financial
markets' expectations, as measured by the forward yield curve, for a future
increase in interest rates. In addition, during 1995, swaps with an aggregate
notional amount of $1.4 billion were terminated prior to their maturities,
resulting in net deferred losses of $49 million. Swaps with a notional amount
of $500 million were also terminated during the first quarter of 1996,
resulting in a deferred gain of $.3 million. Such gains and losses are
amortized, generally, over the projected remaining life of the related swap
contract at its termination. A summary of KeyCorp's deferred swap gains and
losses at March 31, 1996, is presented in Note 10, Financial Instruments with
Off-Balance Sheet Risk, beginning on page 13. Each swap termination was in
response to a unique set of circumstances and for various reasons; however, the
decision to terminate a swap contract is integrated strategically with asset
and liability management and other appropriate processes. These terminations as
well as other portfolio swap activity for the three-month period ended March
31, 1996, are summarized in Figure 6.

A summary of the notional and fair values of portfolio swaps by interest rate
management strategy at March 31, 1996, is presented in Figure 7. The fair value
at any given date represents the estimated income (if positive) or cost (if
negative) that would be recognized if the portfolio were to be liquidated at
that date. However, because the portfolio interest rate swaps are used to alter
the repricing or maturity characteristics of specific assets and liabilities,
the net unrealized gains and losses related to the swaps are not recognized in
earnings. Rather, interest from these swaps is recognized on an accrual basis
as an adjustment of the interest income or expense from the asset or liability
being managed.

The notional amount of the interest rate swap contracts represents only an
agreed upon amount on which calculations of interest payments to be exchanged
are based. It does not represent the potential for gain or loss on such
positions. Similarly, the notional amount is not indicative of the market risk
or the credit risk of the positions held. Credit risk is the possibility that
the counterparty will not meet the terms of the swap contract and is measured
as the cost of replacing, at current market rates, contracts in an unrealized
gain position. The credit risk exposure to the counterparty on each interest
rate swap is monitored by an appropriate credit committee. Based upon detailed
credit reviews of the counterparties, limits on the total credit exposure
KeyCorp may have with each counterparty, and whether collateral is required,
are determined.
At March 31, 1996, KeyCorp had 18 different counterparties to portfolio swaps
and swaps entered into to offset the risk of customer swaps. Of these
counterparties, KeyCorp had an aggregate credit exposure of $14 million to 6,
with the largest credit exposure to an individual counterparty amounting to $9
million. Although KeyCorp is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties, based on management's assessment, as of
March 31, 1996, all counterparties were expected to meet their obligations. The
expected average maturities of the portfolio swaps at March 31, 1996, are
summarized in Figure 8.

NONINTEREST INCOME
As shown in Figure 9, noninterest income totaled $249 million for the first
three months of 1996, up $78 million, or 46%, from the same period last year.
Included in first quarter 1995 results were net securities losses of $49
million recorded in connection with efforts to reconfigure the balance sheet in
order to reduce interest rate risk. Excluding securities transactions for
comparative purposes, core noninterest income was up $33 million, or 15%, from
the first three months of 1995. Contributing to this increase was the impact of
five acquisitions completed since the 1994 year end.
The improvement in core noninterest income reflected growth in all major
fee-based revenues, with the exception of mortgage banking income. The largest
increases came from loan securitization income ($7 million), service charges on
deposit accounts ($6 million), insurance and brokerage income ($6 million),
trust and asset management income ($5 million), and miscellaneous other income
($13 million). Detail pertaining to the composition of loan securitization
income and the types of securitized loans serviced is presented in Figure 10.
Overall, the increase in loan securitization income reflected a higher level of
servicing fees. The repricing of fees by certain affiliate banks, the
introduction of certain services to new markets in 1995 and enhanced collection
efforts were the primary factors contributing to the growth in service charges
on deposit accounts. Insurance and brokerage income was up due primarily to
higher investment advisory fees and brokerage commissions from the sales of
mutual funds which more than doubled. The increase in trust and asset
management income resulted from the April 1995 acquisition of Spears Benzak,
Salomon & Farrell, Inc. ("Spears Benzak"), a New York-based investment
management firm, continued strong performance of both the stock and bond
markets and an array of new products. Additional detail pertaining to the
composition of the trust and asset management revenue component is presented in
Figure 11. Miscellaneous other income rose from the prior year due principally
to a $12 million increase in income from corporate owned life insurance. The
positive effect of the above items was partially offset by a $10 million
decrease in mortgage banking income, resulting from the March 1995 sale of the
residential mortgage loan servicing business. This transaction as well as the
Spears Benzak acquisition referred to above are more fully disclosed in Note 2,
Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures, beginning on page 7.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
As shown in Figure 12, noninterest expense for the first quarter of 1996
totaled $570 million, up $9 million, or 2%, from the first quarter of 1995. The
higher level of noninterest expense relative to the first quarter of last year
was due primarily to increases in personnel expense ($11 million), amortization
of intangibles ($5 million), marketing expense ($5 million) and miscellaneous
other expense ($11 million). Personnel expense, the largest category of
noninterest expense, rose due primarily to higher costs associated with various
incentive programs. The higher level of amortization related to intangibles was
a direct result of the amortization of goodwill recorded in connection with
acquisitions consummated during 1995, while the growth in marketing expense was
due largely to additional costs related to continued strategic efforts aimed at
strengthening the KeyBank brand name. The growth in miscellaneous other expense
reflected higher loan servicing fees resulting from the sale of the mortgage
loan servicing business (wherein KeyCorp had serviced its own mortgage loans),
as well as increases in various other categories of operating expense. The
above increases were substantially offset by the effect of the elimination of
the Bank Insurance Fund assessment rate which took effect as of January 1,
1996. During the latter half of 1995, the assessment rate for well-capitalized
banks was reduced from $.23 per $100 of insured deposits to $.04 per $100 for
the period June through December 1995. As a result of the above actions, the
cost of insurance assessments in the first quarter of 1996 decreased $23
million, or 92%,
29
<PAGE> 30
from the first three months of 1995. In general, the increases summarized above
reflected the impact of five acquisitions completed during 1995, offset in part
by the overall reduction in costs (primarily personnel) resulting from the 1995
sale of both KeyCorp Mortgage Inc., and Schaenen Wood & Associates, Inc. The
acquisitions and sales are more fully disclosed in Note 2, Mergers,
Acquisitions and Divestitures, beginning on page 7.
The efficiency ratio, which provides a measure of the extent to which recurring
revenues are used to pay operating expenses, improved to 61.22% for the first
quarter, from 64.12% for the first quarter of 1995. The improvement in the
efficiency ratio relative to the first quarter of last year reflected the
reduction in noninterest expense coupled with the growth in taxable-equivalent
net interest income and noninterest income.

INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes was $96 million for the three-month period ended
March 31, 1996, as compared to $61 million (before the extraordinary net gain)
for the same period in 1995. The effective tax rate (provision for income taxes
as a percentage of income before income taxes) for the 1996 first quarter was
31.5% compared to 26.2% for the first quarter of 1995. The lower 1995 first
quarter effective tax rate as compared to 1996 was primarily attributable to
the first quarter 1995 recognition of one-time tax benefits totaling $16
million related to acquisitions made in years prior to 1992. The effective tax
rate remains below the statutory Federal rate of 35% due to the impact of
continued investment in tax-advantaged assets (such as corporate owned life
insurance) and the recognition of credits associated with investments in
low-income housing projects.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
LOANS
At March 31, 1996, total loans outstanding were $48.2 billion, up from $47.7
billion at December 31, 1995, and $48.0 billion at March 31, 1995. The
composition of the loan portfolio by loan type, as of each of these respective
dates, is presented in Note 5, Loans, beginning on page 10. The $469 million
growth from the December 31, 1995, level was the result primarily of increases
of $283 million in commercial loans, $264 million in consumer loans (including
a $52 million increase in credit card outstandings) and $236 million in student
loans held for sale. Growth in these targeted categories was partially offset
by a $372 million decrease in real estate loans (including a $304 million
decrease in one-to-four family mortgages). During the first quarter, KeyCorp
continued to execute its strategy of securitizing and/or selling loans with
lower spreads which do not meet return on equity standards. This strategy
resulted in the first quarter sale of $500 million of residential mortgage
loans which had been previously transferred to the mortgage loans held for sale
portfolio and the securitization of $38 million of auto loans. In addition,
KeyCorp sold $45 million of student loans during the quarter. As shown in
Figure 13, loan growth was achieved principally in the Great Lakes and National
Business sectors. Included in the National Business sector are the activities
conducted by Key Bank USA, National Association ("KeyBank USA") and AFG.
KeyBank USA, a nationally chartered bank formed during the third quarter of
1995, serves as the national platform for credit card lending, mortgage loan
originations and all non-branch consumer finance business, while AFG, acquired
during the third quarter of 1995, is one of the nation's leading subprime
automobile finance companies.

SECURITIES
At March 31, 1996, the securities portfolio totaled $9.2 billion, consisting of
$7.5 billion of securities available for sale and $1.7 billion of investment
securities. This compares to a total portfolio of $9.7 billion, comprised of
$8.0 billion of securities available for sale and $1.7 billion of investment
securities, at December 31, 1995. The reduction in the overall portfolio since
year-end 1995 reflects the planned runoff of lower-yielding securities pursuant
to balance sheet management strategies developed in mid-1995. These strategies
are more fully discussed in the Asset and Liability Management section
beginning on page 24. Certain information pertaining to the composition, yields
and maturities of the securities available for sale and investment securities
portfolios is presented in Figures 14 and 15, respectively.

ASSET QUALITY
KeyCorp's Credit Risk Review Group evaluates and monitors the level of risk in
KeyCorp's credit-related assets, and formulates underwriting standards and
guidelines for line management. Geographic diversification throughout KeyCorp
is a significant factor in managing credit risk. In addition, the Credit Risk
Review Group is responsible for reviewing the adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses ("Allowance"). Furthermore, KeyCorp's Credit Policy/Risk Management
Group reviews corporate assets other than loans, leases and other real estate
owned ("OREO") to evaluate the credit quality and risk inherent in such assets.
This group is also responsible for commercial and consumer credit policy
development, concentration management and credit systems development.
Management has developed methodologies designed to assess the adequacy of the
Allowance. The Allowance allocation methodologies applied at KeyCorp focus on
changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio, changes in the levels
of impaired and other nonperforming and past due loans, the risk inherent in
specific loans, concentrations of loans to specific borrowers or industries,
existing and prospective economic conditions and historical losses on a
portfolio basis. In addition, indirect risk in the form of off-balance sheet
exposure for unfunded commitments is taken into consideration. Management
continues to target and maintain an Allowance equal to the allocated
requirement plus an unallocated portion, as appropriate. Management believes
this is an appropriate posture in light of current and expected economic
conditions and trends, the geographic and industry mix of the loan portfolio
and similar risk-related matters.

<PAGE> 33
As shown in Figure 16, net loan charge-offs for the first quarter of 1996 were
$43 million, up from $17 million recorded for the same period last year. The
increase in net charge-offs was attributable primarily to one large commercial
credit ($9 million), as well as a continued increase from historically low net
charge-off levels in the credit card and indirect auto areas. The $4 million
increase in credit card net charge-offs was in line with industry standards as
well as management's expectations. Consistent with the higher level of net
charge-offs, the provision for loan losses was increased to $44 million for the
first quarter of 1996 from $34 million for the prior quarter and $18 million
for the first quarter of last year.
The Allowance at March 31, 1996, was $875 million , or 1.82% of loans, compared
with $876 million, or 1.84% of loans at December 31, 1995 and $867 million, or
1.81% of loans, at March 31, 1995. At March 31, 1996, the Allowance was 256.60%
of nonperforming loans, compared with 263.15% at December 31, 1995 and 285.51%
at March 31, 1995. Although this percentage is not the primary factor used by
management in determining the adequacy of the Allowance, it has general short
to medium-term relevance. There have been no significant changes in the
allocation of the Allowance since year end.
The composition of nonperforming assets is shown in Figure 17. These assets
totaled $389 million at March 31, 1996, and represented .81% of loans, OREO and
other nonperforming assets compared with $379 million, or .79%, at year-end
1995 and $363 million, or .75%, at March 31, 1995. The $8 million increase in
nonperforming loans since year-end 1995 reflected the placement of an
additional $81 million of loans on nonaccrual status, partially offset by loan
charge-offs of $19 million, payments received totaling $21 million and the sale
of one nonaccrual commercial loan of $20 million. Additional information
pertaining to changes in nonaccrual loans and the percentage of nonperforming
loans to period-end loans by type within KeyCorp's geographically dispersed
banking regions is presented in Figures 18 and 19, respectively.

DEPOSITS AND OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDS
Core deposits, defined as domestic deposits other than certificates of deposit
of $100,000 or more, are KeyCorp's primary source of funding. During the first
quarter of 1996, these deposits averaged $41.2 billion and represented 70% of
KeyCorp's funds supporting earning assets compared with $41.3 billion and 69%,
respectively, for the first quarter of 1995. As shown in Figure 3 beginning on
page 22, over the past year the mix of core deposits has changed significantly.
Primary among the factors contributing to this change is a new cost reduction
program started during the fourth quarter of 1995. In accordance with this
program, deposit balances (above a defined threshold) in certain NOW and
noninterest-bearing checking accounts are transferred to money market deposit
accounts, thereby reducing the level of deposit reserves required to be
maintained with the Federal Reserve. Based on certain limitations, funds are
periodically transferred back to the checking accounts to cover checks
presented for payment or withdrawals. As a result of this program, during the
first quarter of 1996, demand deposits and NOW account balances averaging $1.0
billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, were transferred to the money market
deposit account category and a pre-tax cost savings of approximately $3 million
was realized. In Figure 3, the demand deposits transferred are reported as
noninterest-bearing deposits, while the NOW accounts transferred are included
in the money market deposit account category. The program is expected to become
fully operational during the second quarter of 1996 as its implementation is
completed in the last of KeyCorp's four banking regions. The change in deposit
mix also reflected a shift from highly liquid savings deposits to
higher-yielding certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more and to the "Other
time deposits" category which consists primarily of fixed-rate certificates of
deposit of less than $100,000. Although the five acquisitions completed since
the 1994 year end had a positive effect on the level of average core deposits
relative to the year ago quarter, this benefit was offset by the impact of
alternatives pursued by customers in response to the continued strength of the
stock and bond markets.
Purchased funds, which are comprised of large certificates of deposit, deposits
in foreign offices and short-term borrowings, averaged $13.2 billion for the
first quarter of 1996, down $2.3 billion, or 15%, from the comparable prior
year period. As illustrated in Figure 3, the decrease was attributable to the
$2.5 billion reduction in deposits in foreign offices as less expensive sources
were used to fund earning assets.

LIQUIDITY
Liquidity represents the availability of funding to meet the needs of
depositors, borrowers and creditors at a reasonable cost on a timely basis and
without adverse consequences. KeyCorp's ALCO actively analyzes and manages
KeyCorp's liquidity in coordination with similar committees at each affiliate
bank. The affiliate banks individually maintain liquidity in the form of
short-term money market investments, securities available for sale, anticipated
prepayments and maturities on securities, the maturity structure of their loan
portfolios and the ability to securitize and package loans for sale. Liquidity
is also enhanced by a sizable concentration of core deposits, previously
discussed, which are generated by 1,270 banking offices in 14 states. The
affiliate banks individually monitor deposit flows and evaluate alternate
pricing structures to retain or grow deposits. This process is supported by a
Central Funding Unit within KeyCorp's Funds Management Group which monitors
deposit outflows and assists the banks in converting the pricing of deposits
from fixed to floating rates or vice versa as specific needs are determined. In
addition, the affiliate banks have access to various sources of non-core market
funding (such as borrowings from the Federal Reserve system) for short-term
liquidity requirements should the need arise.
KeyCorp's Commercial Paper/Note Program established in 1995 provides for the
availability of up to $500 million of additional short-term funding. The
proceeds from this program may be used for general corporate purposes,
including future acquisitions, and the funding of AFG's lending activities in
conjunction with quarterly securitizations of its auto loans. In 1995, the
parent company also entered into a four-year, $500 million revolving credit
agreement with several banks under which the banks have agreed to lend
collectively up to $500 million to KeyCorp. The line of credit will be used
primarily as a backup source of liquidity for the Commercial Paper/Note
Program. There were no borrowings outstanding under either of these facilities
as of March 31, 1996.
During the first quarter of 1996, KeyCorp's affiliate banks, raised $732
million under KeyCorp's Bank Note Program which allows for the issuance of up
to $12.3 billion, covering twelve affiliate banks. Of the notes issued during
the first quarter, $132 million have original maturities in excess of one year
and are included in long-term debt, while $600 million have original maturities
of one year or less and are included in other short-term borrowings. As of the
end of the quarter, the program had an unused capacity of $10.1 billion.
KeyCorp's universal self registration statement on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission provides for the possible issuance of a broad range of debt
and equity securities by the parent company. In 1995, KeyCorp updated the
filing by registering an additional $845 million of securities (up to $750
million of which are reserved for future issuance as Medium-Term Notes).
Medium-Term Notes issued under the registration statement during the first
quarter of 1996 totaled $200 million and have original maturities of more than
one year. At the end of the quarter, unused capacity under this shelf
registration totaled $412 million. The proceeds from the shelf registration
and the Bank Note Program discussed above may be used for general corporate
purposes, including future acquisitions.
The liquidity requirements of the parent company, primarily for dividends to
shareholders, servicing of debt and other corporate purposes are principally
met through regular dividends from affiliate banks. Excess funds are maintained
in short-term investments. The parent company has ready access to the capital
markets as a result of its favorable debt ratings which, at March 31, 1996,
were as follows:

CAPITAL AND DIVIDENDS
Total shareholders' equity at March 31, 1996, was $5.1 billion, down $29
million, or 1%, from the December 31, 1995, balance and up $306 million, or 6%,
from the end of the first quarter of 1995. The decrease from the end of the
prior year was due primarily to the share repurchases discussed below and
dividends paid to shareholders. The increase from the year ago quarter resulted
principally from the retention of net income after dividends paid to
shareholders. Other factors contributing to the change in shareholders' equity
during the first three months of 1996 are shown in the Statement of Changes in
Shareholders' Equity presented on page 5. Included in these changes are first
quarter 1996 net unrealized losses of $63 million on securities, resulting in
cumulative net unrealized losses of $15 million as of March 31, 1996. These net
unrealized losses were recorded in connection with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting
for Investments in Certain Debt and Equity Securities."
In January 1996, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program
which authorizes the repurchase of up to an additional 12,000,000 Common Shares
in 1996. Under the new program, shares will be repurchased from time to time in
the open market or through negotiated transactions. During the first quarter of
1996, KeyCorp repurchased 3,416,642 shares at a total cost of $124 million (an
average of $36.33 per share) and reissued 1,383,732 Treasury Shares for
employee benefit plans. The 14,274,479 Treasury Shares at March 31, 1996, are
expected to be reissued over time in connection with employee stock purchase,
401(k), stock option, and dividend reinvestment plans and for other corporate
purposes. In addition, the Board of Directors approved the redemption of the
10% Cumulative Preferred Stock effective June 30, 1996.
Capital adequacy is an important indicator of financial stability and
performance. Overall, KeyCorp's capital position remains strong with a ratio of
total shareholders' equity to total assets of 7.88% at March 31, 1996, compared
with 7.77% at December 31, 1995, and 7.12% at March 31, 1995.
Banking industry regulators define minimum capital ratios for bank holding
companies and their banking and savings association subsidiaries. Based on the
risk-adjusted capital rules and definitions prescribed by the banking
regulators, KeyCorp's Tier I and total capital to net risk-adjusted assets
ratios at March 31, 1996, were 7.71% and 11.45%, respectively. These compare
favorably with the minimum requirements of 4.0% for Tier I and 8.0% for total
capital. The regulatory Tier I leverage ratio standard prescribes a minimum
ratio of 3.0%, although most banking organizations are expected to maintain
ratios of at least 100 to 200 basis points above the minimum. At March 31,
1996, KeyCorp's leverage ratio was 6.43%, substantially higher than the minimum
requirement. Figure 21 presents the details of KeyCorp's regulatory capital
position at March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995, and March 31, 1995.
Failure to meet applicable capital guidelines could result in enforcement
remedies available to the banking industry regulators, including a limitation
on the ability to pay dividends, the issuance of a directive to increase
capital, the termination of deposit insurance by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC"), and (in severe cases) the appointment of a conservator or
receiver. Management believes that as of March 31, 1996, the parent company and
its banking and savings association subsidiaries meet all capital adequacy
guidelines to which they are subject.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the Federal bank regulators group
FDIC-insured depository institutions into five broad categories based on
certain capital ratios. The five categories are "well capitalized," "adequately
capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and
"critically undercapitalized." All of KeyCorp's affiliate banks qualified as
"well-capitalized" at March 31, 1996, as they exceeded the well-capitalized
thresholds of 10%, 6% and 5% for the total capital, Tier I capital and leverage
ratios, respectively. Although these provisions are not directly applicable to
the parent company under existing law and regulations, based upon its ratios
the parent company would qualify as "well capitalized" at March 31, 1996. The
FDIC-defined capital categories may not constitute an accurate representation
of the overall financial condition or prospects of KeyCorp or its affiliate
banks.

EXHIBIT 10
AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of the 5th day of February,
1996, between KEYCORP, an Ohio corporation ("Key"), and K. BRENT SOMERS (the
"Executive").
Key is entering into this Agreement in recognition of the importance
of the Executive's services to the continuity of management of Key and based
upon its determination that it will be in the best interests of Key and its
Subsidiaries to encourage the Executive's continued attention and dedication to
the Executive's duties in the potentially disruptive circumstances of a
possible Change of Control of Key. (As used in this Agreement, the terms
"Subsidiaries" and "Change of Control" and certain other capitalized terms have
the meanings ascribed to them in Section 7, at the end of this Agreement.)
Key and the Executive agree, effective as of the date first set forth
above, as follows:
1. BASIC SEVERANCE BENEFITS. The benefits described in Sections
1.1, 1.2, and 1.3, below, are subject to the limitations set forth in Sections
4.1 (which stipulates that the payments are in lieu of other claims or rights),
4.2 (regarding withholding), 4.3 (regarding excess parachute payments), and 4.4
(regarding potential deferral of certain compensation above $1,000,000).
1.1 LUMP SUM SEVERANCE BENEFIT IF EMPLOYMENT IS TERMINATED IN
CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES WITHIN TWO YEARS OF A CHANGE OF CONTROL. If, within two
years following the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Executive's
employment with Key and its Subsidiaries is terminated by Key or its Subsidiary
for any reason other than Cause, Disability, or death or by the Executive after
a Reduction of Base Salary or a Mandatory Relocation has occurred, Key shall
pay to the Executive, within ten business days after the Termination Date, a
lump sum severance benefit equal to 2 1/2 times the sum of (a) one year's base
salary (at the highest rate in effect at any time from one year prior to the
Change of Control to the Termination Date) plus (b) Average Annual Incentive
Compensation.
1.2 LUMP SUM SEVERANCE BENEFIT IF EMPLOYMENT IS TERMINATED BY
EXECUTIVE DURING A WINDOW PERIOD. Except as provided in the last sentence of
this Section 1.2, if the Executive's employment with Key and its Subsidiaries
is voluntarily terminated by the Executive during a Window Period, Key shall
pay to the Executive, within ten business days after the Termination Date, a
lump sum severance benefit equal to the sum of (a) one year's base salary (at
the highest rate in effect at any time from one year prior to the Change of
Control to the Termination Date) plus (b) Average Annual Incentive
Compensation. This Section 1.2 shall not apply if, at the Termination Date,
(x) there has been either any Reduction of Base Salary or any Mandatory
Relocation (in which event Section 1.1 would apply to the
<PAGE> 2
termination) or (y) Key or any Subsidiary has Cause to terminate the
Executive's employment (in which case no lump sum severance benefit would be
payable under either of Sections 1.1 or 1.2).
1.3 PAYMENT OF COST OF COBRA HEALTH BENEFITS. If the Executive
becomes entitled to payment of a lump sum severance benefit under either of
Sections 1.1 or 1.2 of this Agreement and the Executive elects to continue to
receive health benefits at the Executive's cost pursuant to an election that
Key or any Subsidiary is required to provide to the Executive in order to
comply with Section 4980B(f) of the Internal Revenue Code (commonly referred to
as "COBRA continuation coverage") during the period specified in Section
4980B(f) (the "COBRA continuation period"), Key will pay to the Executive the
cost of continuing those benefits from the Termination Date through the first
to occur of (a) the end of the COBRA continuation period or (b) the date on
which the Executive becomes employed by any other person or entity.
2. OTHER BENEFITS.
2.1 REIMBURSEMENT OF CERTAIN EXPENSES AFTER A CHANGE OF CONTROL.
From and after a Change of Control, Key shall pay, as incurred, all expenses,
including the reasonable fees of counsel engaged by the Executive, of defending
any action brought to have this Agreement declared invalid or unenforceable.
2.2 DISABILITY. If, after a Change of Control and prior to the
Termination Date, the Executive is unable to perform services for Key or any
Subsidiary for any period by reason of disability of the Executive, as a result
of accidental bodily injury or sickness, Key will pay and provide to the
Executive all compensation and benefits to which the Executive would have been
entitled had the Executive continued to be actively employed by Key or any
Subsidiary through the earliest of the following dates: (a) the first date on
which the Executive is no longer so disabled to such an extent that the
Executive is unable to perform services for Key or any Subsidiary, (b) the date
on which the Executive becomes eligible for payment of long term disability
benefits under a long term disability plan generally applicable to executives
of Key or a Subsidiary, (c) the date on which Key has paid and provided 24
months of compensation and benefits to the Executive during the Executive's
disability, or (d) the date of the Executive's death.
3. NO SET-OFF; NO OBLIGATION TO SEEK OTHER EMPLOYMENT OR TO
OTHERWISE MITIGATE DAMAGES; NO EFFECT UPON OTHER PLANS. Key's obligation to
make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its
obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense, or other claim whatsoever which Key or any of its
Subsidiaries may have against the Executive. The Executive shall not be
required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for under
this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. The amount of any
payment provided for under this Agreement shall not be reduced by any
compensation or benefits earned by the Executive as the result of employment by
another employer or otherwise after the termination of the Executive's
employment. The provisions of this Agreement, and any payment provided for
<PAGE> 3
hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way
diminish the Executive's rights, or rights which would accrue solely as a
result of the passage of time, under any incentive compensation plan, stock
option or stock appreciation rights plan, retirement or supplemental retirement
plan, stock purchase and savings plan, disability or insurance plan, or other
similar contract, plan, or arrangement of Key or any Subsidiary.
4. CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON BENEFITS.
4.1 PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF OTHER CLAIMS OR RIGHTS. If the Executive
receives any payments under this Agreement as a result of termination of the
Executive's employment following a Change of Control, those payments shall be
in lieu of any and all other claims or rights that the Executive may have for
severance, separation, and/or salary continuation pay upon that termination of
the Executive's employment. Without limiting the generality of the immediately
preceding sentence, if, without regard to this Section 4.1, the Executive
becomes entitled both to severance benefits under this Agreement and a
severance payment under the January 12, 1996 employment letter from Key to the
Executive that was signed on behalf of Key by Roger Noall (the "Employment
Letter"), the Executive shall have the right to elect to receive either the
severance benefits under this Agreement or the severance payment under the
Employment Letter, but not both, and Key shall not make any payments under
either this Agreement or the Employment Letter until after the Executive has
delivered to Key a signed notice of election to receive payments under this
Agreement or under the Employment Letter which notice shall acknowledge that if
amounts are paid under this Agreement, none will be paid under the Employment
Letter and vice versa.
4.2 TAXES; WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. Without limiting the right of
Key or its Subsidiary to withhold taxes pursuant to this Section 4.2, the
Executive shall be responsible for all income, excise, and other taxes
(federal, state, city, or other) imposed on or incurred by the Executive as a
result of receiving the payments provided in this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the payments provided under Section 1 of this Agreement. Key or
its Subsidiary may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all
federal, state, city, or other taxes as Key shall determine to be required
pursuant to any law or government regulation or ruling. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Key or its Subsidiary may withhold from any amount
payable under either of Sections 1.1 or 1.2 of this Agreement amounts
sufficient to satisfy any withholding requirements that may arise out of any
payment made to the Executive by Key or any Subsidiary under Section 1.3 of
this Agreement.
4.3 EXCESS PARACHUTE PAYMENT REDUCTION. If it is determined that
any payment or distribution by Key or any of its Subsidiaries to or for the
benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (a
"Payment") would be nondeductible by Key or a Subsidiary for Federal income tax
purposes because of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable
regulations promulgated thereunder, then the aggregate present value of amounts
payable or distributable to or for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to
this Agreement (such payments or distributions pursuant to this Agreement are
hereinafter referred to as "Agreement Payments") shall be reduced (but not
below zero) to the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced Amount" shall
<PAGE> 4
be an amount expressed in present value that maximizes the aggregate present
value of Agreement Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by
Key or a Subsidiary because of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and
applicable regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section
4.3, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of
the Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.
All determinations required to be made under this Section 4.3 shall be made by
the Accounting Firm which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both
to Key and the Executive within 30 days after the Termination Date or such
earlier time as is requested by Key. Key and the Executive shall cooperate
with each other and the Accounting Firm and shall provide necessary information
so that the Accounting Firm may make all such determinations. All such
determinations by the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding upon Key and
the Executive. The Executive shall determine which of the Agreement Payments
(or, at the election of the Executive, other payments) shall be eliminated or
reduced consistent with the requirements of this Section 4.3, provided that, if
the Executive does not make such determination within 20 days of the receipt of
the calculations made by the Accounting Firm, Key shall elect which of the
Agreement Payments shall be eliminated or reduced consistent with the
requirements of this Section 4.3 and shall notify the Executive promptly of
such election. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section
280G of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations promulgated
thereunder at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm
hereunder, it is possible that Agreement Payments will be made by Key that
should not have been made ("Overpayment") or that additional Agreement Payments
will not be made by Key which could have been made ("Underpayment"), in each
case, consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. If the
Accounting Firm or a court of competent jurisdiction (in a final judgment as to
which the time for appeal has lapsed or no appeal is available) determines at
any time that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment shall be
treated for all purposes as a loan to the Executive which the Executive shall
repay to Key together with interest at the applicable short-term Federal rate
provided for in Section 1274(d)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, compounded
semi-annually; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the
Executive to Key (or if paid by the Executive to Key, such payment shall be
returned to the Executive) if and to the extent such payment would not reduce
the amount which is subject to taxation under Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code. If the Accounting Firm or a court of competent jurisdiction (in
a final judgment as to which the time for appeal has lapsed or no appeal is
available) determines at any time that an Underpayment has occurred, any such
Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Key to or for the benefit of the
Executive together with interest at the applicable short-term Federal rate
provided for in Section 1274(d)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, compounded
semi-annually.
4.4 POTENTIAL DEFERRAL OF CERTAIN COMPENSATION IN EXCESS OF
$1,000,000 IN ANY CALENDAR YEAR.
(a) SECTION 162(M). For purposes of this Section 4.4,
the term "Section 162(m)" shall mean Section 162(m)
of the Internal Revenue Code (which prescribes rules
disallowing deductions for certain "applicable
employee remuneration" to any of five specified
"covered employees" of a publicly
<PAGE> 5
held corporation in excess of $1,000,000 per year),
as from time to time amended, and the corresponding
provisions of any similar law subsequently enacted,
and to all regulations issued under that section and
any such provisions.
(b) DEFERRAL. Except as otherwise provided in either of
Section 4.4(c) or Section 4.4(d), below, if Key
determines that, after giving effect to all
applicable elective deferrals of compensation, any
amount of compensation (including any base salary and
any incentive compensation payable under any
incentive compensation plan in which the Executive is
a participant) otherwise payable to the Executive
whether under this Agreement or otherwise at any
particular time (the "Scheduled Time"),
(i) would not be deductible by Key or any Subsidiary
if paid at the Scheduled Time by reason of the
disallowance rules of Section 162(m), and
(ii) would be deductible by Key or a Subsidiary if
deferred until and paid during a later year,
that amount of compensation shall be deferred until,
and paid during, the year that is determined by Key
to be the first year following the year of deferral
during which the compensation can be paid without
disallowance of the deduction for payment of the
compensation by reason of Section 162(m). If Key
determines that in any year following the year of
deferral a portion of, but not all of, the amounts
deferred (together with interest thereon as provided
in Section 4.4(e), below) can be paid without
disallowance of the deduction, that portion that can
be so paid shall be paid by Key during that year and
the remainder, except as otherwise provided in
Section 4.4(c) or Section 4.4(d), below, shall
continue to be deferred until a later year.
(c) EARLY PAYOUT OF DEFERRED AMOUNT IF DEFERRAL IS
DETERMINED TO BE INEFFECTIVE. If any amount of
compensation is deferred under Section 4.4(b) with
the expectation that it will be deductible by Key or
a Subsidiary if paid in a later year and Key later
determines that the compensation will not be
deductible by Key or a Subsidiary even if payment
thereof is deferred until a later year, then, within
three months of the date on which that determination
is made, the deferral with respect to that
compensation shall terminate and Key shall pay that
compensation to the Executive.
(d) PAYOUT FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT IN ALL
EVENTS. On April 15 of the year immediately
following the year in which the Executive ceases to
be employed by Key or any Subsidiary, Key shall pay
to the Executive, in a single lump sum, all amounts
of compensation
<PAGE> 6
that have been deferred pursuant to this Section 4.4
and have not previously been paid so that, as of the
close of business on that date, no amount of
compensation will remain deferred under this Section
4.4 whether or not Key or any Subsidiary is entitled
to a deduction with respect to the payment of that
compensation.
(e) INTEREST ON DEFERRED AMOUNTS. Upon payment of any
amounts of compensation deferred for any period of
time pursuant to this Section 4.4, Key shall pay to
the Executive an additional amount equivalent to the
interest that would have accrued on that deferred
compensation if interest accrued thereon from the
date on which that compensation would have been paid
but for this Section 4.4 through the date on which
that compensation is paid at a variable rate equal,
in each calendar quarter, to 50 basis points higher
than the effective annual yield of the average of the
Moody's average corporate bond yield index for the
calendar month immediately preceding that calendar
quarter as published by Moody's Investor Service Inc.
(or any successor published thereto) or if such index
is no longer published a substantially similar index
selected by the Compensation and Organization
Committee, compounded quarterly.
5. TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be effective
upon the day and date first above written and shall thereafter apply to any
Change of Control occurring on or before December 31, 1996. On December 31,
1996 and on December 31 of each succeeding year thereafter (a "Renewal Date"),
the term of this Agreement, if not previously terminated, shall be
automatically extended for an additional year unless either party has given
notice to the other, at least one year in advance of that Renewal Date, that
the Agreement shall not apply to any Change of Control occurring after that
Renewal Date.
5.1 TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT BEFORE
A CHANGE OF CONTROL. This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the first
date occurring before a Change of Control on which the Executive is no longer
employed by Key or any Subsidiary, except that, for purposes of this Agreement,
any termination of employment of the Executive that is effected before and
primarily in contemplation of a Change of Control that occurs after the date of
the termination shall be deemed to be a termination of the Executive's
employment as of immediately after that Change of Control.
5.2 NO TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT DURING TWO YEAR PERIOD BEGINNING
ON DATE OF A CHANGE OF CONTROL. After a Change of Control, this Agreement may
not be terminated. However, if the Executive's employment with Key and its
Subsidiaries continues for more than two years following the occurrence of a
Change of Control, then, for all purposes of this Agreement other than Section
2.1, that particular Change of Control shall thereafter be treated as if it
never occurred.
<PAGE> 7
6. MISCELLANEOUS.
6.1 SUCCESSOR TO KEY. Key shall not consolidate with or merge
into any other corporation, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets
to another corporation or bank, unless such other corporation or bank shall
assume this Agreement in a signed writing and deliver a copy thereof to the
Executive. Upon such assumption the successor corporation or bank shall become
obligated to perform the obligations of Key under this Agreement and the term
"Key" as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to such successor
corporation or bank.
6.2 NOTICES. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all
other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United
States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and
addressed, in the case of notices to Key or a Subsidiary, as follows:
KeyCorp
127 Public Square
Cleveland, Ohio 44114
Attention: Secretary
and, in the case of notices to the Executive, properly addressed to the
Executive at the Executive's most recent home address as shown on the records
of Key or its Subsidiary, or such other address as either party may have
furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices
of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.
6.3 EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. Nothing expressed or implied in this
Agreement shall create any right or duty on the part of Key or the Executive to
have the Executive continue as an officer of Key or a Subsidiary or to remain
in the employment of Key or a Subsidiary.
6.4 ADMINISTRATION. Key shall be responsible for the general
administration of this Agreement and for making payments under this Agreement.
All fees and expenses billed by the Accounting Firm for services contemplated
under this Agreement shall be the responsibility of Key.
6.5 SOURCE OF PAYMENTS. Any payment specified in this Agreement
to be made by Key may be made, at the election of Key, directly by Key or
through any Subsidiary of Key. All payments under this Agreement shall be made
solely from the general assets of Key or one of its Subsidiaries, and the
Executive shall have the rights of an unsecured general creditor of Key with
respect thereto.
6.6 CLAIMS REVIEW PROCEDURE. Whenever Key decides for whatever
reason to deny, whether in whole or in part, a claim for benefits under this
Agreement by the Executive, Key shall transmit a written notice of its decision
to the Executive, which notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be
understood by the Executive and shall contain a statement of the specific
reasons for the denial of the claim and a statement advising the Executive
that, within
<PAGE> 8
60 days of the date on which the Executive receives such notice, the Executive
may obtain review of the decision of Key in accordance with the procedures
hereinafter set forth. Within such 60-day period, the Executive or the
Executive's authorized representative may request that the claim denial be
reviewed by filing with Key a written request therefor, which request shall
contain the following information:
(a) the date on which the request was filed with Key,
(b) the specific portions of the denial of the
Executive's claim which the Executive requests Key
to review, and
(c) any written material which the Executive desires Key
to examine.
Within 30 days of the date specified in clause (a) of this Section
6.6, Key shall conduct a full and fair review of its decision to deny the
Executive's claim for benefits and deliver to the Executive its written
decision on review, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
Executive, specifying the reasons and the Agreement provisions upon which its
decision is based. Nothing in this Section 6.6 shall be construed as limiting
or restricting the Executive's right to institute legal proceedings in a court
of competent jurisdiction to enforce this Agreement after complying with the
procedures set forth in this Section 6.6 or as limiting or restricting the
scope of the court's review (which review shall be de novo); provided, further,
that the failure of the Executive to comply with the procedures set forth in
this Section 6.6 shall not bar or prohibit the subsequent compliance by the
Executive with those procedures and thereafter the Executive shall have the
right to institute legal proceedings to enforce this Agreement.
6.7 VALIDITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect.
6.8 MODIFICATION, WAIVER, ETC. No provision of this Agreement may
be modified, waived, or discharged unless such waiver, modification, or
discharge is agreed to in a writing signed by the Executive and Key. No waiver
by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party of, or
compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed
by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar
provisions or conditions at the same time or at any prior or subsequent time.
No agreement or representation, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with
respect to the subject matter hereof has been made by either party which is not
set forth expressly in this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors, heirs, and designees. This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Ohio.
<PAGE> 9
7. DEFINITIONS.
7.1 ACCOUNTING FIRM. The term "Accounting Firm" means the
independent auditors of Key for the fiscal year preceding the year in which the
Change of Control occurred and such firm's successor or successors; provided,
however, if such firm is unable or unwilling to serve and perform in the
capacity contemplated by this Agreement, Key shall select another national
accounting firm of recognized standing to serve and perform in that capacity
under this Agreement, except that such other accounting firm shall not be the
then independent auditors for Key or any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule
12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"1934 Act")).
7.2 AGGREGATE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AWARD. The term "Aggregate
Incentive Compensation Award" with respect to the Executive for any year shall
mean the aggregate incentive compensation awards (whether paid in cash,
deferred, or a combination of both) payable to the Executive under any dollar
denominated (in contrast to stock based) annual executive incentive
compensation plan or multi-year executive incentive compensation plan
maintained by Key or any Subsidiary (or any predecessor of Key or a Subsidiary)
for that year. For these purposes, an incentive compensation award payable to
the Executive under any incentive compensation plan with respect to a period of
more than one year will be deemed to be "for" the last year of that multi-year
period. If no incentive compensation award is payable to the Executive for any
particular year under any incentive compensation plan maintained by Key or any
Subsidiary (or any predecessor of Key or a Subsidiary), whether because the
Executive was not employed by Key or any Subsidiary (or any predecessor of Key
or a Subsidiary) during any part of that year, because incentive compensation
targets were not met, or because of any other circumstances, the Aggregate
Incentive Compensation Award for that year will be $-0-.
7.3 AVERAGE ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. The term "Average
Annual Incentive Compensation" shall mean the average of the three highest
Aggregate Incentive Compensation Awards payable to the Executive for any of the
years during the five-year period ended on the December 31 immediately
preceding the Termination Date.
7.4 CAUSE. The employment of the Executive by Key or any of its
Subsidiaries shall have been terminated for "Cause" if, after a Change of
Control and prior to the termination of employment, any of the following has
occurred:
(a) the Executive shall have been convicted of a felony,
(b) the Executive commits an act or series of acts of
dishonesty in the course of the Executive's
employment which are materially inimical to the best
interests of Key or a Subsidiary and which
constitutes the commission of a felony, all as
determined by the vote of three fourths of all of the
members of the Board of Directors of Key (other than
the Executive, if the Executive is a Director of Key)
which determination is confirmed by a panel of three
arbitrators appointed and acting in accordance with
the
<PAGE> 10
rules of the American Arbitration Association for
the purpose of reviewing that determination,
(c) Key or any Subsidiary has been ordered or directed by
any federal or state regulatory agency with
jurisdiction to terminate or suspend the Executive's
employment and such order or directive has not been
vacated or reversed upon appeal, or
(d) after being notified in writing by the Board of
Directors of Key to cease any particular Competitive
Activity, the Executive shall intentionally continue
to engage in such Competitive Activity while the
Executive remains in the employ of Key or a
Subsidiary.
If (x) Key or any Subsidiary terminates the employment of the Executive at a
time when it has "Cause" therefor under clause (c), above, (y) the order or
directive is subsequently vacated or reversed on appeal and the vacation or
reversal becomes final and no longer subject to further appeal, and (z) Key or
the Subsidiary fails to offer to reinstate the Executive to employment within
ten days of the date on which the vacation or reversal becomes final and no
longer subject to further appeal, Key or the Subsidiary will be deemed to have
terminated the Executive without Cause.
7.5 CHANGE OF CONTROL. A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to
have occurred if at any time before the Termination Date there is a Change of
Control under any of clauses (a), (b), (c), or (d), below. For these purposes,
Key will be deemed to have become a subsidiary of another corporation if any
other corporation owns, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of Key or any successor to Key.
(a) A Change of Control will have occurred under this
clause (a) if Key is a party to a transaction
pursuant to which Key is merged with or into, or is
consolidated with, or becomes the subsidiary of
another corporation and, at any time within 24 months
after the effective date of that transaction,
individuals who were directors of Key on the day
after the last annual meeting of shareholders of Key
occurring before the transaction cease for any reason
to constitute at least 40% of the directors of the
surviving or resulting corporation or (if Key becomes
a subsidiary in the transaction) of the ultimate
parent of Key.
(b) A Change of Control will have occurred under this
clause (b) if Key is a party to a transaction
pursuant to which Key is merged with or into, or is
consolidated with, or becomes the subsidiary of
another corporation and,
(i) after giving effect to such transaction, less
than 40% of the then outstanding voting
securities of the surviving or resulting
<PAGE> 11
corporation or (if Key becomes a subsidiary
in the transaction) of the ultimate parent of
Key represent or were issued in exchange for
voting securities of Key outstanding
immediately prior to such transaction, and
(ii) at any time within 24 months after the
effective date of that transaction,
individuals who were directors of Key on the
day after the last annual meeting of
shareholders of Key occurring before that
effective date cease for any reason to
constitute at least 51% of the directors of
the surviving or resulting corporation or (if
Key becomes a subsidiary in the transaction)
of the ultimate parent of Key.
(c) A Change of Control will have occurred under this
clause (c) if any of the events described in (i),
(ii), (iii), or (iv) of this clause (c) (a "Change
Event") occurs, but only if the condition set out in
(x) or the condition set out in (y) of this clause
(c) applies. The Change Events described in (i),
(ii), (iii), and (iv) of this clause (c) are as
follows:
(i) There is a report filed on Schedule 13D or
Schedule 14D-1 (or any successor schedule,
form, or report), each as adopted under the
1934 Act, disclosing the acquisition of 25%
or more of the voting stock of Key in a
transaction or series of transactions by any
person (as the term "person" is used in
Section 13(d) and Section 14(d)(2) of the
1934 Act).
(ii) Key is a party to a transaction pursuant to
which Key is merged with or into, or is
consolidated with, or becomes the subsidiary
of another corporation and, after giving
effect to such transaction, less than 50% of
the then outstanding voting securities of the
surviving or resulting corporation or (if Key
becomes a subsidiary in the transaction) of
the ultimate parent of Key represent or were
issued in exchange for voting securities of
Key outstanding immediately prior to such
transaction.
(iii) There is a sale, lease, exchange, or other
transfer (in one transaction or a series of
related transactions) of all or substantially
all the assets of Key.
(iv) The shareholders of Key approve any plan or
proposal for the liquidation or dissolution
of Key.
The conditions set out in (x) and (y) of this
clause (c) are as follows:
(x) A Change Event occurred in connection with a
transaction that was not approved or
recommended by the Key Board of Directors.
(y) A Change Event occurred in connection with a
transaction that was approved or recommended
by the Key Board of Directors but only if,
within the 24 month period ending on the date
of that
<PAGE> 12
Change Event, Key had been "put in play"
without the prior approval, solicitation,
invitation, or recommendation of the Key
Board of Directors. For purposes of this
condition (y), Key will be deemed to have
been "put in play" if any person or entity
makes a public announcement of an intention
(I) to engage in a transaction with Key that, if
consummated, would result in a Change Event,
or
(II) to "solicit" (as defined in Rule 14a-1 under
the 1934 Act) proxies in connection with a
proposal that is not approved or recommended
by the Key Board of Directors or to engage in
an election contest relating to the election
of Directors of Key (pursuant to Regulation
14A, including Rule 14a-11, under the 1934
Act).
(d) A Change of Control will have occurred under this
clause (d) if any person or entity announces an
intention to engage in an election contest relating
to the election of Directors of Key (pursuant to
Regulation 14A, including Rule 14a-11, under the
1934 Act) and, at any time within the 24 month period
immediately following the date of the announcement of
that intention, individuals who, on the day after the
last annual meeting of shareholders of Key occurring
before that announcement, constituted the directors
of Key cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority thereof.
7.6 COMPETITIVE ACTIVITY. The Executive shall be deemed to have
engaged in "Competitive Activity" if the Executive:
(a) engages in any business or business activity in which
Key or any of its Subsidiaries engages, including,
without limitation, engaging in any business activity
in the banking or financial services industry (other
than as a director, officer, or employee of Key or
any of its Subsidiaries), or
(b) serves as a director, officer, or employee of any
bank, bank holding company, savings and loan
association, building and loan association, savings
and loan holding company, insurance company,
investment banking or securities company, mutual fund
company, or other financial services company other
than Key or any of its Subsidiaries (each of the
foregoing being hereinafter referred to as a
"Financial Services Company"), or renders services of
a consultative or advisory nature or otherwise to any
such Financial Services Company; provided, however,
this clause (b) shall not prohibit or restrict the
Executive from serving in any such capacity with the
consent of Key.
7.7 DISABILITY. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive's
employment will have been terminated by Key or its Subsidiary by reason of
"Disability" of the Executive only
<PAGE> 13
if (a) as a result of accidental bodily injury or sickness, the Executive has
been unable to perform his normal duties for Key or its Subsidiary for a period
of 180 consecutive days, and (b) the Executive begins to receive payments under
the Key Long Term Disability Plan not later than 30 days after the Termination
Date.
7.8 MANDATORY RELOCATION. A "Mandatory Relocation" shall have
occurred if, at any time after a Change of Control, the Executive is required
to relocate the Executive's principal place of employment for Key or its
Subsidiary without the Executive's consent more than 35 miles from where the
Executive was located prior to the Change of Control, (b) Key or its Subsidiary
has given written notice to the Executive that such a relocation is required,
and (c) the Executive, in a written response to that notice, has declined to
consent to the required relocation.
7.9 REDUCTION OF BASE SALARY. A "Reduction of Base Salary" shall
have occurred if the base salary of the Executive is reduced at any time after
a Change of Control.
7.10 SUBSIDIARY. A "Subsidiary" means any corporation, bank,
partnership, or other entity a majority of the voting control of which is
directly or indirectly owned or controlled at the time in question by Key.
7.11 TERMINATION DATE. The term "Termination Date" means the date
on which the Executive's employment with Key and its Subsidiaries terminates.
7.12 WINDOW PERIOD. The term "Window Period," with respect to any
particular Change of Control, means the three-month period beginning on the
date that falls on same day of the month as the date of the Change of Control
in the fifteenth month after the month in which the Change of Control occurs.
If at any time there has been more than one Change of Control, there shall be a
separate Window Period with respect to each such Change of Control.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
date first written above.
