Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Award is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto or to otherwise be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and shall be interpreted in accordance with this intent and Section 409A of the Code and treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Grant Date. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, no payment or distribution under this Plan that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and becomes payable by reason of your Termination of Service with the Company shall be made to you until your Termination of Service constitutes a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of this Award, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if you are a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A of the Code, you shall not be entitled to any payments upon your Termination of Service until the earlier of: (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of your separation from service or (ii) the date of your death. Upon the expiration of the applicable waiting period set forth in the preceding sentence, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 13 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single lump sum or in installments in the absence of such deferral) shall be paid to you in a lump sum as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days, following such expired period, and any remaining payments due under this Award will be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or any affiliate be liable to you on account of an Award’s failure to (i) qualify for favorable U.S. or foreign tax treatment or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment under U.S. or foreign law, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code.

The Award shall accordingly be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Award to fail to satisfy Section 409A shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A. In particular, to the extent that the Participant’s right to receive payment under the Award becomes vested and the event triggering the Participant’s right to payment is the Participant’s termination of employment, then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, payment will be made to the Participant, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, on the earlier of (a) the Participant’s “separation from service” (determined in accordance with Section 409A); provided, however, that if the Participant is a “specified employee” (determined in accordance with KeyCorp’s policies), the date of payment shall not occur until the first business day of the seventh month following the date of the Participant’s separation from service with Key, or (b) the Participant’s death. Further, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, a transaction shall be considered a Change of Control only if it also qualifies as a “change in the ownership” a “change in the effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of KeyCorp within the meaning of Section 409A. This Appendix A sets forth certain additional terms and conditions which shall apply to the Participant’s Award if and only if the Participant is a “162(m) Covered Employee” (as defined in Section A, below). This Appendix A is intended to provide for the qualification of a 162(m) Covered Employee’s Award as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and this Appendix A shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with such intent.
A. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Award Agreement, if the Participant is a 162(m) Covered Employee, then the Award shall be forfeited automatically without further action or notice if the Initial Performance Objective (as defined below) is not achieved, except as otherwise provided in Section 1(c) of the Award Agreement.

This Agreement shall be administered in a manner consistent with its intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement to fail to satisfy Section 409A shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event any payment or benefit hereunder is determined to constitute non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, then to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, such payment or benefits shall not be made, provided or commenced until six (6) months after the Executive’s “separation from service” as such phrase is defined for the purposes of Section 409A.

To this end and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, (i) the Company’s securities are publicly traded on an established securities market; (ii) Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A); and (iii) the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then the Company will defer the commencement of such payments (without any reduction in amount ultimately paid or provided to Executive) that are not paid within the short-term deferral rule under Section 409A (and any regulations thereunder) or within the “involuntary separation” exemption of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii). Such deferral shall last until the date that is six (6) months following Executive’s termination of employment with the Company (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A). Any amounts the payment of which are so deferred shall be paid in a lump sum payment within ten (10) days after the end of such deferral period. If Executive dies during the deferral period prior to the payment of any deferred amount, then the unpaid deferred amount shall be paid to the personal representative of Executive’s estate within sixty (60) days after the date of Executive’s death. For purposes of Section 409A, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.
