SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL TRUST INDENTURE, effective as of June 3, 2020, by and among Macy’s Retail Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MRH LLC”) and successor by conversion of Macy’s Retail Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MRHI”) into MRH LLC, Macy’s, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, as Guarantor (“Macy’s”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association duly incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, as Trustee (“Trustee”), supplementing that certain Indenture, dated as of January 15, 1991, between MRHI (f/k/a The May Department Stores Company (NY)), Macy’s (as successor to The May Department Stores Company) and the Trustee (as successor trustee) (as amended or supplemented to date, the “Indenture”).
RECITALS:
A. Pursuant to Section 701 of the Indenture, MRHI is not permitted to merge or consolidate with any other corporation or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person unless, among other things, such successor 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 Second 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 801 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.
E. 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.
Now, Therefore, This Supplemental Indenture Witnesseth:
In order 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, it is mutually agreed as follows:
ARTICLE I. SUCCESSION AND ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS.
Section 1.1. – Succession and Assumption of Obligations.

MRH LLC hereby succeeds to and is substituted for MRHI in the Indenture with the same effect as if MRH LLC had been named in the Indenture as a party thereto. Upon the effectiveness of this Supplemental Indenture, all appearances of the term “Company” in the Indenture and the Securities shall be deemed to mean and apply to MRH LLC.
For the avoidance of doubt, MRI LLC hereby confirms that it succeeds to, and is substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, MRHI as Company under the Indenture and the Securities with the same effect as if MRI LLC had been named as “Company” in the Indenture and the Securities.
