RECITALS:
A. Pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Indenture, MRH DE 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





Person expressly assumes, in the form of a supplemental indenture, all of the obligations of MRH DE under the Indenture and the Securities.
B. This Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture is being executed and delivered for the avoidance of doubt to reflect the statutory conversion of MRH DE from a Delaware limited liability company to an Ohio limited liability company.
C. Pursuant to a Certificate of Conversion, dated June 24, 2020, MRH DE was converted into MRH OH, with MRH OH continuing as the surviving Person, and MRH OH agreed to assume all of the obligations of MRH DE under the Indenture and the Securities.
D. Pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Indenture, MRH OH, 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 OH to MRH DE and the assumption by MRH OH of the obligations and covenants of MRH DE under the Indenture and the Securities.
E. Pursuant to Section 10.03 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and will be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any supplemental indenture issued thereunder is authorized or permitted thereby and such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel have been delivered to the Trustee as of the date hereof.
F. Unless otherwise defined, all capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Indenture shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
