AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of January 5, 2009, among
MACY’S, INC. (formerly known as FEDERATED DEPARTMENT STORES, INC.) (“Parent”),
MACY’S RETAIL HOLDINGS, INC. (formerly known as FEDERATED RETAIL HOLDINGS, INC.)
(the “Borrower”), the SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS party hereto and JPMORGAN CHASE
BANK, N.A., as Paying Agent.

Reference is made to (a) the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of
August 30, 2007 (as in effect on the date hereof, the “Existing Credit
Agreement”) among Parent, the Borrower, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agents and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as paying agent and (b) the Amended and Restated
Guarantee Agreement dated as of August 30, 2007 (as in effect on the date
hereof, the “Existing Guarantee Agreement”) among Parent, the Borrower and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as paying agent. The Existing Credit Agreement is
being amended and restated pursuant to and in accordance with the Amendment and
Restatement Agreement dated as of December 18, 2008 (the “Amendment and
Restatement Agreement”) among Parent, the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto,
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agents
and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Paying Agent (the Existing Credit Agreement,
as so amended and restated, by the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, and as
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”). The amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement
pursuant to the Amendment and Restatement Agreement is conditioned upon, among
other things, the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Parent is the parent

the Credit Agreement and are willing to execute and deliver this Agreement in
order to induce the Lenders to extend such credit. Accordingly, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE II

Guarantee

SECTION 2.01. Guarantee. Subject to the limitations set forth herein,

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

each of the Guarantors unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not
merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment of the Obligations. Each of the
Guarantors further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in
whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will
remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any
Obligation. Each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and
protest to the Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of
acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the maximum liability of
the Bloomingdale’s Parties with respect to the Obligations under this Agreement
at any time of determination shall be limited to the difference of (a) the
maximum liability that the Bloomingdale’s Parties may have under this Agreement
without causing Bloomingdale’s to fail to be in compliance with Section 26.15 of
the Bloomingdale’s Lease minus (b) $10,000,000.

SECTION 2.02. Guarantee of Payment. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that
its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of
collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Paying
Agent or any other Credit Party to any security held for the payment of the
Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of
the Paying Agent or any other Credit Party in favor of the Borrower or any other
Person.

SECTION 2.03. Limitations. (a) Except for (x) termination of a Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 4.10 and (y) the
limitations with respect to the Bloomingdale’s Parties set forth in
Section 2.01, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject
to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason,
including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and
shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or
termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall
not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the
Paying Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or
otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any
release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other
agreement; (iii) the release of any security held by the Paying Agent or any
other Credit Party for the Obligations or any of them; (iv) any default, failure
or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the payment of the Obligations; or (v) any
other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the
risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a
matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of all the
Obligations). Each of the Guarantors expressly authorizes the Credit Parties to
take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to
exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without
consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and
manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute
any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the
Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any of the Guarantors
hereunder.

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any
defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or the
unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the
cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower, other than the
payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. The Paying Agent and the other
Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or
more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment
of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of
the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or exercise any
other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower, without affecting
or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the
extent the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of
any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable
law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or
other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any security.

SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement. Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored by the Paying Agent or any other Credit Party upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise. The provisions of
this Section 2.04 shall survive any termination or release under Section 4.10.

SECTION 2.05. Agreement To Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and
not in limitation of any other right that the Paying Agent or any other Credit
Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the
failure of the Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become
due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or
otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to
be paid, to the Paying Agent for distribution to the applicable Credit Parties
in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of
any sums to the Paying Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor
against the Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation,
contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be
subject to Article III.

SECTION 2.06. Information. Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for
being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and
assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of
the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such
Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Paying Agent
or the other Credit Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of
information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE III

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination

SECTION 3.01. Indemnity. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and
subrogation as each of the Subsidiary Guarantors may have under applicable law
(but subject to Section 3.03), Parent and the Borrower jointly and severally
agree that, in the event a payment in respect of any Obligation shall be made by
any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, Parent and the Borrower shall
indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom
such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment.

SECTION 3.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor (a
“Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 3.03) that, in the event a
payment shall be made by any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder in respect of
any Obligation and such other Subsidiary Guarantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall
not have been fully indemnified by Parent and the Borrower as provided in
Section 3.01, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an
amount equal to the amount of such payment multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof
and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Subsidiary
Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor
becoming a party hereto after the date hereof, the date of the supplement hereto
executed and delivered by such Subsidiary Guarantor); provided, however, that in
the case of the Bloomingdale’s Parties, the numerator of the foregoing fraction
shall be the maximum liability of the Bloomingdale’s Parties hereunder
determined in accordance with Section 2.01. Any Contributing Party making any
payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be subrogated to
the rights of such Claiming Party under Section 3.01 to the extent of such
payment.

SECTION 3.03. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, all rights of each Subsidiary Guarantor under Sections 3.01 and
3.02 and all other rights of each Guarantor in respect of indemnity,
contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise, shall be fully
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations on
the terms set forth in Schedule B hereto. No failure on the part of the Borrower
or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 3.01 and 3.02 (or any
other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect
limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its
obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full
amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

(b) Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby agrees that all Indebtedness
and other monetary obligations owed by it to Parent, the Borrower or any other
Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in
cash of the Obligations on the terms set forth in Schedule B hereto.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE IV

Miscellaneous

SECTION 4.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as
otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in
Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices to any
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be given to such Subsidiary Guarantor in care of the
Borrower.

SECTION 4.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent, any
Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under
the Credit Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and
under the Credit Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this
Section 4.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of
Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether
any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of
such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case
shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by the Paying Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which
such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent
required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 4.03. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any party
hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted
successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements
by or on behalf of any Guarantor, the Borrower or the Paying Agent that are
contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their
respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 4.04. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the
certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to
have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any
Letters of Credit, regardless of any

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any
Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect
as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or
any other amount payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or
any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not
expired or terminated.

SECTION 4.05. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may
be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when
taken together shall constitute single contract. Delivery of an executed
signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective
as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement
shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Paying Agent and
when the Paying Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each Loan Party, and thereafter shall be
binding upon each Loan Party and the Paying Agent, and shall inure to the
benefit of each Loan Party, the Paying Agent and the other Credit Parties and
their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have
the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any
interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as
expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 4.06. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or uneforceability
without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The
parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 4.07. Right of Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at
any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set
off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing
by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor
against any of and all the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement owed to such Lender, irrespective of whether or
not any demand for payment thereof has been made under this Agreement and
although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this
Section 4.07 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 4.08. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

SECTION 4.09. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents
used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 4.10. Termination or Release. (a) Subject to Section 2.04, this
Agreement and the guarantees made herein shall terminate when the Commitments
have terminated, all the Obligations have been paid in full, the LC Exposure has
been reduced to zero and the Issuing Banks have no further obligations to issue
Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.

(b) At any time that either Public Debt Rating shall be Baa1 or BBB+ or better
(provided that neither the Moody’s rating nor the S&P rating is more than one
notch worse than the other), the Borrower may by written notice to the Paying
Agent release and terminate the Guarantees hereunder by one or more of the
Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent doing so would not result in a failure to be
in compliance with clause (ii) of Section 5.08(b) of the Credit Agreement.

(c) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations
hereunder and shall cease to be a party hereto upon the consummation of any
transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such
Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that the Required
Lenders shall have consented to such transaction (to the extent required by the
Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise.

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF SUPPLEMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

SUPPLEMENT NO.          dated as of [            ] (this “Supplement”), to the
AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of January 5, 2009 (as
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guarantee
Agreement”) among MACY’S, INC. (formerly known as FEDERATED DEPARTMENT STORES,
INC.) (“Parent”), MACY’S RETAIL HOLDINGS, INC. (formerly known as FEDERATED
RETAIL HOLDINGS, INC.) (the “Borrower”), the SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS party thereto
(the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Paying Agent.

A. Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of
August 30, 2007, as amended and restated as of January 5, 2009 (as further
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”), among Parent, the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto, JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agents, and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,as Paying Agent.

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee
Agreement referred to therein.

C. Section 5.08 of the Credit Agreement provides that Subsidiary Loan Parties
that are not Subsidiary Guarantors under the Guarantee Agreement may be required
to become Subsidiary Guarantors under the Guarantee Agreement by execution and
delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned
Subsidiary (the “Additional Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in
accordance with the requirements of Section 5.08 of the Credit Agreement to
become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement in order to induce
the Lenders to make additional Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue additional
Letters of Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of
Credit previously issued.

Accordingly, the Paying Agent and the Additional Subsidiary agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 5.08 of the Credit Agreement, the
Additional Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor and
a Guarantor under

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Guarantee Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named
therein as a Subsidiary Guarantor, and the Additional Subsidiary hereby agrees
to all the terms and provisions of the Guarantee Agreement applicable to it as a
Subsidiary Guarantor and Guarantor thereunder .

SECTION 2. The Additional Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Paying Agent
and the other Credit Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding
obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Paying Agent shall
have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the
Additional Subsidiary and the Paying Agent has executed a counterpart hereof.
Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile or
electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed
counterpart of this Supplement.

SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guarantee Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 6. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein and in the Guarantee Agreement shall not in any way be affected or
