A. Pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Indenture, MRHI is not permitted to consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person, or transfer (by lease, assignment, sale, or otherwise) all or substantially all of its properties and assets to another Person unless, among other things, such Surviving Person expressly assumes, in the form of a supplemental indenture, all of the obligations and covenants of MRHI under the Indenture and the Securities.
B. This Ninth Supplemental Indenture is being executed and delivered for the avoidance of doubt to reflect the statutory conversion of MRHI from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company.





C. Pursuant to the Certificate of Conversion, dated June 3, 2020, MRHI was converted into MRH LLC, with MRH LLC continuing as the Surviving Person, and MRH LLC agreed to assume all of the obligations and covenants of MRHI under the Indenture and the Securities.
D. Pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Indenture, MRH LLC, Macy’s and the Trustee are entering into this Supplemental Indenture, without the consent of or notice to any Holders, to evidence the succession of MRH LLC to MRHI and the assumption by MRH LLC of the obligations and covenants of MRHI under the Indenture and the Securities.

Now, Therefore, This Supplemental Indenture Witnesseth:
