The Base Indenture as so supplemented or amended by the Prior Supplements is referred to herein, collectively, as the “Indenture.”
RECITALS:
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 Person expressly assumes, in the form of a supplemental indenture, all of the obligations of MRHI under the Indenture and the Securities.

B. This Twelfth 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 a 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 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.
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.
