1.05 DISPUTES AND MEDIATION; PAYMENT OR FEES. If Purchaser disagrees

and Purchaser. The parties shall each pay one-half of the fees and expenses of
the Mediator. The final closing statement, as agreed upon by the parties and/or
determined under this subsection, shall be final and binding upon the parties.
1.06 PRORATION OF CERTAIN EXPENSES. All prepaid expenses and all accrued
and unpaid expenses shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller as of the

duplicate and rates; (ii) all real property taxes and other expenses or charges

adjustment for any of the foregoing.

date upon which Purchaser is first provided access to
documentation relating to the Loans, Purchaser shall notify
Seller as to whether Purchaser shall accept or reject the Loans,
provided however, that Purchaser shall only be permitted to

all losses which arise as a direct result of the failure of
Seller to have delivered to Purchaser all necessary
documentation with respect to any Loan, provided, however, that
Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to
this Section 1.08(c) in the event that Purchaser shall not have
notified Seller of the missing documentation within sixty (60)
days following the Closing. For purposes of this provision, a

affected Loan outstanding as of the Closing Date and any
interest accrued thereon.

(c) TITLE DEFECTS. (i) Ten (10) days after receipt by Purchaser of

Estate; and (z) which Purchaser does not approve. Failure of
Purchaser to provide such notice on a timely basis shall

Agreement.
(ii) If the notice referred to in (i) above is timely given by
Purchaser, Seller shall, within ten (10) days of such notice,

its sole remedy hereunder with respect to such defect(s), to
terminate this Agreement as to the Assets and Liabilities
attributable to the Branch situated upon the affected Owned Real
Estate and/or Leased Real Estate. Purchaser's failure to make
such an election shall be deemed to be a waiver of such
defect(s) and such defect(s) shall be included in the Permitted
Exceptions and shown as Permitted Exceptions in the deed and the
title policy relating to such Owned Real Estate or Leasehold
Estate.
(iii) Seller shall cause the Title Company to update the Title
Commitments and Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense,
cause the Title Company to update Leasehold Title Commitments,
as of the business day prior to the Closing Date. In the event
that the updated Title Commitment or Leasehold Title Commitment
as to any Owned Real Estate or Leasehold Estate discloses any
defect(s) not included in the original Title Commitment, survey
or Leasehold Title Commitment, the procedure set forth in (ii)
above shall apply.

Branch located at the Leased Real Estate demised by such Lease, except that
Seller and Purchaser shall enter into a sublease agreement by which Seller shall

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
10.01 ENVIRONMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
(a) Prior to the date hereof, Seller shall have provided to
Purchaser Phase I audit reports, as of a date no earlier than
January 1, 1994, undertaken by Seller with respect to the Owned
Real Estate (the "Phase I Reports"). Except as set forth in the
Phase I Reports, to the Knowledge of Seller, the Branches are in
compliance with all environmental laws, rules and regulations of
the United States of America and of states and localities in
which the Branches are located, except for any such
noncompliance which, individually or in the aggregate, has not
had, and is not expected to have, to the Knowledge of Seller, a
material adverse effect on the business of any Branch.
(b) Except as may be set forth in the Phase I Reports, to the
Knowledge of Seller, Seller has no liability with respect to the
Branches which, taken singularly or as a whole, if adversely
determined, would have a material adverse effect on the business
of any Branch (i) relating to the handling, storage, treatment,
use, disposal, discharge or release into the environment of any
hazardous material or waste at, on or from the Owned Real Estate
or the Leased Real Estate, (ii) for the release or emission of
any hazardous material from, on, under, or within the Owned Real
Estate or Leased Real Estate into the air, water, surface water,
ground water, land surface, or subsurface strata, (iii) for the
disposal of any hazardous material on the Owned Real Estate or
Leased Real Estate or (iv) for the contamination of the Owned
Real Estate or Leased Real Estate with any hazardous material.
10.02 ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION.
(a) If any Phase I Report indicates the presence of any hazardous
substance with respect to any Owned Real Estate, and such
presence is a condition that requires remediation pursuant to
appropriate governmental standards, then, at Purchaser's request
made in writing to Seller within ten (10) days after the date of
this Agreement, and at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, Seller
shall arrange to cause a consultant approved by both Seller and
Purchaser to conduct a Phase II environmental audit as to such
hazardous substance and deliver to Seller and Purchaser the
results of such audit within forty-five days after the request
by Purchaser. If the Phase II audit report confirms that such
presence requires remediation pursuant to appropriate
governmental standards and if such presence, if not remediated,
would materially adversely affect the business of the Branch
situated upon the Owned Real Estate and Purchaser requests that
Seller take remedial action with respect thereto, then Purchaser
shall so notify Seller in writing promptly after receipt of the
Phase II environmental audit report, whereupon Seller shall have
the right to (i) terminate this Agreement as it relates to the
Assets and Liabilities of the affected Branch, (ii) undertake
remedial action as to such presence at its sole cost and expense
so that no material continuing violation of any environmental
law exists (provided, however, that the timing of any such
remediation shall be coordinated with Purchaser to minimize any
resulting business interruption), or (iii) agree to indemnify
Purchaser for all actual costs and expenses incurred by
Purchaser to remediate the Owned Real Estate as to such presence
so that no material continuing violation of any environmental
law exists.
(h) If Purchaser fails to request a Phase II environmental audit or
to exercise its right to make a request that Seller remediate
any Owned Real Estate in each case as and when required above,
then Purchaser shall be bound to the terms of this Agreement
without a right of termination except as provided in Article XI
and without a further right to request or to require any Seller
remediation or

Seller to the Purchaser.

(January 1, 1997 Restatement)
ARTICLE I
THE PLAN
--------
The KeyCorp Separation Pay Plan (the "Plan") is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety, effective January 1, 1997. The Plan is intended to be an
"employee welfare benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3 (1) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and
accordingly shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with
the requirements of Title I of ERISA and all regulations promulgated
thereunder. The Plan is established and maintained for the primary purpose of
ameliorating the hardship and inconvenience resulting from involuntary
unemployment.
ARTICLE II
DEFINITIONS
-----------
As used herein, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings
hereinafter set forth, unless a different meaning is plainly required by the
context:
2.1 "ADJUSTED SERVICE DATE" shall mean the Employee's most recent date of
hire with an Employer, as adjusted by KeyCorp to reflect any prior periods
of service with KeyCorp.
2.2 "BASE WEEKLY SALARY" shall mean the base weekly cash compensation
payable to an Employee at the time of his employment termination. An
Employee's Weekly Salary shall not include any amount payable on account of
overtime hours worked, shift differentials, commissions, incentive
compensation, or bonuses. A part-time Employee's Base Weekly Salary shall
be determined based on the Employee's average number of hours worked during
the applicable calendar year, as determined by KeyCorp.
2.3 "BENEFICIARY" shall mean the Employee's surviving spouse, or such other
person designated by the Employee as entitled to receive the Employee's or
former Employee's separation pay benefit, in accordance with the provisions
of Article III of this Plan, if such Employee or former Employee dies
before his separation pay benefit has been distributed to him in full.
2.4 "CODE" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from
time to time. Reference to any section of the Code shall include such
section and any comparable section(s) of any future legislation that
amends, supplements, or supersedes such section and all applicable income
tax regulations.
S-6
30
2.5 "CORPORATION" shall mean KeyCorp.
2.6 "DISCHARGE FOR CAUSE" shall mean an Employee's employment termination
that is the result of the Employee's violation of the Employer's
policies, practices or procedures, violation of city, state,
or federal law, or failure to perform his assigned job duties in a
satisfactory manner. The Corporation in its sole and absolute discretion
shall determine whether an Employee has been Discharged for Cause as
provided for in this Section 2.6 hereof.
2.7 "EMPLOYEE" shall mean any common law employee employed by an Employer;
provided, however, that the term "Employee" shall not include (a) any
person who at any time during the six month period ending on the date of
his employment termination was a party to an individual written agreement
of employment, a written "golden parachute" agreement, a written
termination agreement, or any such similar written agreement of contract of
employment with his Employer, (b) any temporary, peak-time, on-call, or
occasional employee, (c) any person who provides services to an Employer as
an independent contractor or consultant basis or any employee of an
independent contractor or consultant, or (d) any person who services are
leased by an Employer through any other person or organization.
2.8 "EMPLOYER" shall mean the Corporation and any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates unless specifically excluded as an Employer for Plan purposes by
written action of the Corporation. An Employer's participation shall be
subject to any conditions or requirements made by the Corporation and each
Employer shall be deemed to appoint the Plan Administrator as its exclusive
agent under the Plan as long as it continues as an Employer.
2.9 "EMPLOYMENT SEPARATION AGREEMENT" shall mean a written agreement, in a
form satisfactory to the Employer, entered into by an Employee and his
Employer whereby in exchange for a separation pay benefit, as calculated in
accordance with Section 3.3 hereof, the Employee agrees to release his
Employer from all legal claims that are by reason of or in any manner
whatsoever connected with his employment relationship with his Employer.
2.10 "SALARY CONTINUATION" shall mean a separation pay benefit, paid on a per
pay basis, which shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions
of Section 3.3 hereof.
2.11 "TERMINATION AS A RESULT OF A REDUCTION IN STAFF" shall mean an
involuntary and permanent employment termination that is due to the
elimination by an Employer of an Employee's position when there is no other
comparable position to which the Employee is offered the opportunity to
transfer. Whether another position is comparable to an Employee's prior
position shall be determined by the Corporation in its sole and absolute
discretion, provided, however, that a position to which an Employee is
offered the opportunity to transfer shall not be deemed to be a comparable
position if the Employee's Base Weekly Salary becomes reduced by 10% or
more, or if the new workplace location
S-7
31
would cause the Employee to drive 50 or more miles in the Employee's
one-way daily commuting distance to work, or if the Employee's present
commuting distance presently equals or exceeds 50 miles, would cause the
Employee's one-way commuting distance to increase. An Employee's
termination of employment with an Employer that occurs on account of or
following the sale by the Corporation or the Employer of a subsidiary, an
affiliate, a division, a branch, or a portion of its assets, or an
Employee's termination of employment that occurs in conjunction with or due
to the Employer's outsourcing of either the Employee's position or the
general functions of the Employee's department or division shall not
constitute a Termination as a Result of a Reduction in Staff if the
Employee either continues in or is offered the opportunity to continue in
his or her position or a similar position with the outsourcing service
provider, or the Employee continues in the employment of the new owner of
the subsidiary, affiliate, division, branch or assets sold, or is offered
the opportunity to continue in the employment of the new owner.
2.12 "FULL YEAR OF SERVICE" shall mean a consecutive twelve month period of
employment calculated as of an Employee's Adjusted Service Date.
2.13 "VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION" shall mean the termination of an Employee's
employment with his Employer at a time or in a manner that is determined by
the Employee, regardless of the underlying motivation or reason for the
Employee's decision. In particular, and without limiting the generality of
the forgoing, an Employee whose position has been eliminated as of a future
date and who declines to remain in his Employer's employment until such
future date shall be deemed to have terminated employment by Voluntary
Resignation.
The masculine gender includes the feminine, and singular references include
the plural, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
ARTICLE III

3.5 PAYMENT. An Employee who has executed the required Employment
Separation Agreement shall be paid his separation pay benefit in either
(1) a lump sum cash amount as soon as reasonably practicable, in
accordance with payment procedures established by the Corporation, or
(2) in the form of Salary Continuation. An Employee who elects Salary
Continuation shall receive his separation pay benefit under the Plan by
the Employer's payment of his or her separation pay benefit through the
Employer's normal payroll procedures, until such time as the full value
of Employee's separation pay benefit, as calculated in accordance with
Section 3.3 hereof, has been paid to the Employee.
3.6 PAYMENT LIMITATION. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to
the contrary, an Employee's separation pay benefit shall not be
contingent, either directly or indirectly, upon the Employee's
retirement, and all payments hereunder shall conclude within one year
of the Employee's termination.
3.7 TERMINATION UPON RE-EMPLOYMENT. In the event an Employee entitled to
receive a separation pay benefit hereunder is re-employed by the
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates prior to the full
payment of the Employee's separation pay benefit, such unpaid
separation pay benefit shall be forfeited by the Employee upon his
re-employment, and the Employee shall have no right to receive any
additional separation pay benefit.
S-10

3.8 TERMINATION UPON EMPLOYMENT. In the event an eligible Employee elects
to receive Salary Continuation under the Plan, and thereafter becomes
employed by an employer other than the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates prior to the full payment of his separation
pay benefit, such Employee's separation pay benefit shall terminate as
of his new employment date, and the Employee shall immediately
thereafter receive the remaining unpaid separation pay benefit in a
lump sum amount.
3.9 PAYMENT TO BENEFICIARY. If a former Employee dies while any of such
Employee's separation pay benefit remains unpaid, the Corporation will
pay the remaining separation pay to the Employee's named Beneficiary,
in a lump sum amount as soon as practicable following receipt by the
Corporation of notice of the date of death, which notice shall be in
form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation. If the Employee
does not have a surviving spouse, and has failed to designate a
Beneficiary other than his spouse in accordance with applicable
provisions of the Plan, the Corporation shall pay the unpaid separation
pay to the Employee's estate. The Corporation will be discharged from
all liability hereunder to the extent of any such payment.
ARTICLE IV

4.2 CLAIMS REVIEW PROCEDURE. Whenever the Plan Administrator decides for
whatever reason to deny, whether in whole or in part, a claim for benefits

the Plan Administrator shall transmit a written notice of its decision to
the Claimant, which notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be
understood by the Claimant and shall contain a statement of the specific
reasons for the denial of the claim and a statement advising the Claimant
that, within 60 days of the date on which he receives such notice, he may
obtain review of the decision of the Plan Administrator in accordance with
the procedures hereinafter set forth. Within such 60-day period, the
Claimant or his authorized representative may request that the claim denial
be reviewed by filing with the Plan Administrator a written request
therefore, which request shall contain the following information:
(a) the date on which the request was filed with the Plan Administrator;
provided, however, that the date on which the request for review was in
fact filed with the Plan Administrator shall control in the event that
the date of the actual filing is later than the date stated by the
Claimant pursuant to this paragraph (a);
(b) the specific portions of the denial of his claim which the Claimant
requests the Plan Administrator to review;
(c) a statement by the Claimant setting forth the basis upon which he
believes the Plan Administrator should reverse its previous denial of
his claim and accept his claim as made; and
(d) any written material which the Claimant desires the Plan Administrator
to examine in its consideration of his position as stated pursuant to
paragraph (c) above.
In accordance with this Section, if the claimant requests a review of the
Plan Administrator's decision, such review shall be made by the Plan
Administrator, who shall, within ninety (90) days after receipt of the
request form, review and render a written decision on the claim containing
the specific reasons for the decision including reference to Plan
provisions upon which the decision is based. All findings, decisions, and
determinations of any kind made by the Plan Administrator shall not be
modified unless the Plan Administrator has acted in an arbitrary and
capricious manner. Subject to the requirements of a law, the Plan
Administrator shall be the sole judge of the standard of proof required in
any claim for benefits, and any determination of eligibility for a benefit.
All decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be binding on the claimant
and upon all other Persons. If the Participant, or Beneficiary shall not
file written notice with the Plan Administrator at the times set forth
above, such individual shall have waived all benefits under the Plan other
than as already provided, if any, under the Plan.

other respects discharge, in the usual course of the banking

withdrawal order presented to Purchaser more than ninety (90)
days following the Closing Date.
(b) CUSTOMER DEMAND FOR TERMINATION OF ASSUMED DEPOSIT
LIABILITIES. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that if, after the
Closing Date, any Assumed Deposit account customers, instead
of accepting the obligation of Purchaser to pay the Assumed
Deposit liabilities (including accrued interest thereon)
assumed hereunder, shall demand payment from Seller for all or
any part of any such Assumed Deposit liabilities (including
accrued interest thereon), Seller shall not be liable or
responsible for making such payment. If any such depositors
draw a check, draft, or withdrawal order against the Assumed
Deposit liabilities which is presented or delivered to Seller
not later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Seller
shall use its reasonable efforts to batch all such checks,
drafts, or withdrawal orders and to deliver the same to
Purchaser at Purchaser's cost. Purchaser acknowledges that any
delay, failure, or inability on its part to comply with the
obligations imposed upon it as a depository institution under
applicable federal or state law, with regard to such checks,
drafts, or withdrawal orders shall not result in any liability
or obligation of Seller and shall not affect any of the rights
of Seller under this Agreement. In the event Seller, in its
sole discretion, should pay any such check, draft, or
withdrawal order, Purchaser shall immediately, upon demand by
Seller, reimburse Seller for such payment or charge. Seller
shall not be deemed to have made any representations or
warranties to Purchaser with respect to any such checks,
drafts, or withdrawal orders and any such representations or
warranties implied by law are hereby disclaimed and are the
responsibility of Purchaser, except that Seller shall be
chargeable with the warranties and representations implied by
law with respect to any such check, draft, or withdrawal order
which may be paid by Seller over the counter.
(c) DELIVERY OF PURCHASER'S CHECK FORMS. Purchaser shall, on or
before the Closing Date, at its sole cost and expense, notify
all such customers by letter, in a form reasonably acceptable
to Seller, of Purchaser's assumption of Assumed Deposit
liabilities (which shall include a notification to those
Assumed Deposit account customers whose accounts are then
covered by any type of overdraft protection offered by Seller,
that from and after the Closing Date all such overdraft
protection from Seller shall terminate) and furnish each
Assumed Deposit account customer with checks using the forms
of Purchaser and with instructions to the customer to utilize
such checks on Purchaser's forms on and after the Closing

liabilities represented by any such instrument) credited as
of the Closing Date to any Assumed Deposit accounts which are
returned uncollected to Seller after the Closing Date and

such Assumed Deposit accounts for items cashed by Seller (net
of the applicable Deposit Premium paid by Purchaser with
respect to the Assumed Deposit liabilities represented by any
such instrument), as of the Closing Date which items are
subsequently dishonored; provided, however, that if Seller
shall have failed to make or properly reflect in the
information provided to Purchaser any provisional credit or
hold on any such Assumed Deposit accounts in respect of
uncollected funds represented by any such item, Purchaser's
obligations under this subsection (d) in respect of such item
shall be limited to the amount of collected funds in such
Assumed Deposit accounts.
(e) DEFAULT ON LOAN PAYMENTS TO SELLER. If the balance due on any
Loan which constitutes an Asset has been reduced by Seller as
a result of a payment by check or draft received prior to the

be correspondingly increased and an amount in cash equal to
such increase shall be promptly paid by Purchaser to Seller.
(f) NOTICES TO OBLIGORS ON LOANS. Purchaser shall, prior to the
Closing Date, prepare and transmit, at Purchaser's sole cost
and expense, to each obligor on each Loan which constitutes an
