 If
the registered owner of this Security (as indicated below) is The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or a nominee of DTC, this Security is a Global Security, is subject to all applicable procedures of DTC, and the following legend
applies: 
 Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depository”) to the
issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and such certificate issued is registered in the name of CEDE & CO., or such other name as requested by an authorized representative of the Depository, ANY TRANSFER,
PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL, since the registered owner hereof, CEDE & CO., has an interest herein. 

If the registered owner of this Security (as indicated below) is
[                    ]
(“[                    ]”) or a nominee of

Depository (and any payment is made to [                    ] or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the
Depository), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof,
[                    ], has an interest herein. 












 Thereafter the following legend applies, regardless of the registered owner of this Security: 

Unless and until this certificate is exchanged in whole or in part for Notes in certificated form, this certificate may not be transferred except as a

 KEYCORP, an Ohio corporation (herein referred to as the “Company,” which
term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [                ] or registered
assigns, the principal sum of          [DOLLARS ($         )] on the Stated Maturity shown above (except to the extent redeemed, repaid, renewed or extended prior to the
Stated Maturity) and to pay interest on such principal sum at the Interest Rate shown above from the Original Issue Date shown above or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest, if any, has been paid or duly provided for,
semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on [                ] (unless other Interest Payment Dates are shown on the face hereof and
except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph) (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment and on the Stated Maturity, any Redemption Date or Repayment Date (such terms
are together hereinafter referred to as the “Maturity Date” with respect to the principal repayable on such date); provided, however, that any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, to be made on
any Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date that is not a Business Day (as defined below) shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the
case may be, and no additional interest will accrue from and after the Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date as a result of such delayed payment. 

For purposes of this Security, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, “Business Day” means as follows: (i) for
notes denominated in a specified currency other than the euro, the term Business Day means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day that banking institutions in New York City are generally authorized or obligated by law or
executive order to close, and is also a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in the principal financial center of the country of the relevant specified currency (if other than New York City); (ii) for notes
denominated in the euro, the term Business Day means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day that banking institutions in London are generally authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close and is also a TARGET
Business Day; and (iii) in all other circumstances, any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day that banking institutions in New York City are generally authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. 

“Principal Financial Center” means (i) the capital city of the country issuing the Specified Currency or (ii) with
respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, euro, New Zealand dollars, South African rand and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” shall be New York City and (solely in the case of the Specified
Currency) Sydney, Toronto, London, Wellington, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively. 
 “TARGET Business Day” means a day
on which the Trans-European Automated Real Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer payment system (which utilizes a single shared platform and which was launched on November 19, 2007) is open for the settlement of payment in the euro. 

Any interest hereon is accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest, if any, has
been paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date if no interest has been paid) to, but excluding, the succeeding Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. 

 












 
The interest, if any, so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture (referred to on the reverse hereof), be paid to the
person (the “Holder”) in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date
or as otherwise specified above (each, a “Regular Record Date”); provided, however, that, if this Security was issued between a Regular Record Date and the initial Interest Payment Date relating to such Regular Record
Date, interest, if any, for the period beginning on the Original Issue Date and ending on such initial Interest Payment Date shall be paid on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record Date to the Holder hereof on such
next succeeding Regular Record Date; and provided further that interest, if any, payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly
provided for (“Defaulted Interest”) will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered
at the close of business on a special record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee (referred to on the reverse hereof), notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of
this Security not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

Unless otherwise specified above, all payments in respect of this Security will be made in U.S. dollars regardless of the Specified Currency
shown above unless the Holder hereof makes the election described below. If the Specified Currency shown above is other than U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent (referred to on the reverse hereof) will arrange to convert all payments in respect
hereof into U.S. dollars in the manner described on the reverse hereof; provided, however, that the Holder hereof may, if so indicated above, elect to receive all payments in such Specified Currency by delivery of a written request to
the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent in New York City, on or prior to the applicable Regular Record Date or at least 15 days prior to the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Such request may be in writing, mailed or hand delivered, or by
facsimile or other electronic transmission. Unless otherwise specified above, the holder hereof may elect to receive payment in such Specified Currency for all principal, premium, if any, and interest payments and need not file a separate election
for each payment. Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee, but written notice of any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or prior to the Regular Record Date or at least 15 days prior to the
Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines that the Specified Currency is not available for making payments in respect hereof due to the imposition of exchange controls, because it is no longer used
by the government of the country issuing such currency, because it is no longer used for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of the international banking community, or as a result of other circumstances beyond the Company’s
control, then, until such Specified Currency is again available or used, the Holder hereof may not so elect to receive payments in the Specified Currency and any such outstanding election shall be automatically suspended, until the Company
determines that the Specified Currency is again available for making such payments. 
 In the event of an official redenomination of the
Specified Currency, other than as a result of the European Monetary Union, such as by an official redenomination of any such Specified Currency that is a composite currency, the obligations of the Company with respect to payments on this Security
shall, in all cases, be deemed immediately following such redenomination to provide for payment of that amount of redenominated currency representing the amount of such obligations immediately before such redenomination. 

 












 In no event shall any adjustment be made to any amount payable hereunder as a result of any change in the
value of the Specified Currency shown above relative to any other currency due solely to fluctuations in exchange rates, or any redenomination of any composite currency, unless such composite currency is itself officially redenominated. 

Unless otherwise shown above, payment of interest on this Security (other than on the Maturity Date or Redemption Date) will be made by check
mailed to the registered address of the Holder hereof; provided, however, that, if the Holder hereof is the Holder of U.S.$1,000,000 (or the equivalent) or more in aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series of which this
Security is a part (whether having identical or different terms and provisions), such interest payments may be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds, but only if appropriate instructions have been received in writing by the Paying
Agent on or prior to the applicable Regular Record Date. Unless otherwise specified above, the principal hereof (and premium, if any) and interest hereon payable on the Maturity Date or Redemption Date will be paid in immediately available funds
upon surrender of this Security at the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent maintained for that purpose in New York City, New York (or at such other location as may be specified above). The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by
banks in making payments in immediately available funds, but, except as otherwise provided above, any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon payments will be borne by the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such payments are
made. 
 Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest on this Security, if any, will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE
TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE. 












 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual
signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
 IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed under its facsimile corporate seal.

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 

KEYCORP 
 SENIOR MEDIUM-TERM NOTE,
SERIES Q 
 Section 1. General. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities (herein called the
“Securities”) of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to a senior indenture, dated as of June 10, 1994, as it may be supplemented from time to time (herein called the
“Indenture”), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to a series of which
this Security is a part), to which indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto, reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Indenture was amended pursuant to a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 14, 2001 and a Second Supplemental
Indenture dated as of November 13, 2013, copies of which are available from the Company or the Trustee. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof that is unlimited in aggregate principal amount. 

Section 2. Payments. If the Specified Currency is other than U.S. dollars and the Holder hereof fails to elect payment in such
Specified Currency, the amount of U.S. dollar payments to be made in respect hereof will be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent specified on the face hereof or a successor thereto (the “Exchange Rate Agent”) based on the highest
bid quotation in New York City at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by
the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all Holders of
Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency scheduled to receive U.S. dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If three of such bid quotations are not available, payments will be made in the Specified
Currency. 
 Except as set forth below, if the Specified Currency is other than U.S. dollars and the Specified Currency is not available due
to the imposition of exchange controls, because it is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency, because it is no longer used for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of the international banking
community, or as a result of other circumstances beyond the Company’s control, then, until such currency is again available or used, the Company will be entitled to make payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the noon buying rate in New York
City for cable transfers of such Specified Currency as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified as otherwise determined) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) as computed by the Exchange
Rate Agent for such Specified Currency on the second Business Day prior to such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is then not available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise indicated on the face
hereof. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default or Default under the Indenture. 












 All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole
discretion and, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Security. 
 All
currency exchange costs will be borne by the Holder of this Security through deductions from payments otherwise due to such Holder. 

References herein to “U.S. dollars” or “U.S. $” or “$” are to the currency of the United
States of America. 
 Section 3. Redemption. If so specified on the face hereof, the Company may at its option redeem this
Security in whole or from time to time in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount of this Security shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination of such Security (except in the case of a Discount
Security)) on or after the date designated as the Initial Redemption Date on the face hereof at 100% of the unpaid principal amount hereof or the portion thereof redeemed (or, if this Security is a Discount Security, such lesser amount as is
provided for below) multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date. Such Initial Redemption Percentage if more than 100% shall decline at each anniversary of the
Initial Redemption Date by an amount equal to the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price is 100% of such amount. The Company may exercise such option by causing the Trustee to, or cause the
Paying Agent to, deliver a notice of such redemption at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof shall
be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. If less than all the Securities of the series, of which this Security is a part, with differing issue dates, interest rates and stated maturities are to be redeemed, the
Company in its sole discretion shall select the particular Securities to be redeemed and shall notify the Trustee in writing thereof at least 60 days prior to the relevant redemption date, unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee. If less than all of the Securities with like tenor and terms to this Security are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. 

Section 4. Repayment. If so specified on the face hereof, this Security shall be repayable prior to the Stated Maturity at the
option of the Holder on each applicable Repayment Date shown on the face hereof at the Repayment Price shown on the face hereof, together with accrued interest to the Repayment Date. In order for this Security to be repaid, the Paying Agent must
receive at least 30 but not more than 45 days prior to a Repayment Date this Security with the form attached hereto entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” duly completed. Except as set forth in Section 308 of the Indenture, any
tender of this Security for repayment shall be irrevocable. The repayment option may be exercised by the Holder of this Security in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount of this Security shall not be
less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof). Upon any partial repayment, this Security shall be canceled and a new Security or Securities for the remaining principal amount hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder of this Security.

 Section 5. Sinking Fund. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, this Security will not be subject to any sinking
fund. 












 Section 6. Discount Securities. If this Security (such Security being referred
to as an “Discount Security”) (a) has been issued at an Issue Price lower, by more than a de minimis amount (as determined under United States federal income tax rules applicable to original issue discount instruments), than
its “stated redemption price at maturity” (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) and (b) would be considered an original issue discount security for United States federal income tax
purposes, then the amount payable on this Security in the event of redemption by the Company, repayment at the option of the Holder or acceleration of the maturity hereof, in lieu of the principal amount due at the Stated Maturity hereof, shall be
the Amortized Face Amount (as defined below) of this Security as of the date of such redemption, repayment or acceleration. The “Amortized Face Amount” of this Security shall be the amount equal to the sum of (a) the Issue
Price (as set forth on the face hereof) plus (b) the portion of the difference between the Issue Price and the principal amount of the Discount Security that has been amortized at the stated yield of the Discount Security, computed in
accordance with the rules set forth in the Code, and applicable Treasury regulations, at the date as of which the Amortized Face Amount is calculated. 

Section 7. Modifications and Waivers. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof
and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series. Such amendment may be effected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of not less than a 66-2/3% in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Provisions in the
Indenture also permit the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities of any series to waive on behalf of all of the Holders of all the Securities of such series and any
related coupons certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holder of this Security and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

Section 8. Ranking; Obligations of the Company Absolute. The Securities are unsecured and rank pari passu with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the Specified Currency herein
prescribed. 
 Section 9. Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of
(a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions
apply to this Security, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof. 
 Section 10. Authorized Denominations. Unless otherwise
provided on the face hereof, this Security is issuable only in registered form without coupons issued in denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000. If this Security is denominated in a Specified
Currency other than U.S. dollars or is a Discount Security, this Security shall be issuable in the denominations set forth on the face hereof. 












 Section 11. Registration of Transfer. As provided in the Indenture and subject
to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at a Place of Payment for the series of Securities of which this
Security is a part, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

If the registered owner of this Security is the Depository (such a Security being referred to herein as a “Global Security”)
and (i) the Depository is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days following notice to the Company or (ii) an Event of Default occurs, the Company
will issue Securities in certificated form in exchange for this Global Security. In addition, the Company may at any time determine not to have Securities represented by this Global Security and, in such event, will issue Securities in certificated
form in exchange in whole for this Global Security representing such Security. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security will be entitled to physical delivery in certificated form of Securities equal in principal
amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Securities registered in its name. Securities so issued in certificated form will be issued in denominations of $1,000 (or such other denomination as shall be specified by the Company) or any
amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000 and will be issued in registered form only, without coupons. 
 No service
charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Holder as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Section 12. Events of Default. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of the series of which this Security forms a
part shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of this Security may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

Section 13. Defined Terms. All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture and are not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 Section 14. Governing Law. This Security shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
