Determination of Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment 

SECTION 2.01. (a) Tax Schedule. At least 45 days prior to the due date (including extensions) for the U.S. federal income Tax
Return of Newmark for a Covered Taxable Year (or, if applicable, the U.S. federal income Tax Return of BGC Partners if Newmark is included in such Tax Return for a Covered Taxable Year and Newmark does not file a U.S. federal income Tax Return that
is a Newmark Separate Return for such Taxable Year), Newmark shall provide to Cantor a schedule (the “Tax Schedule”) showing the computation of the Covered Tax Benefit (if any), the Covered Tax Detriment (if any) and the Tax Benefit
Payment (determined in accordance with Section 3.01(b)) (if any) for such Covered Taxable Year, together with work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the computation of such items. Newmark shall allow Cantor reasonable access
to the appropriate representatives at Newmark and its Subsidiaries and the Accounting Firm in connection with its review of the Tax Schedule and workpapers. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the items reflected on a Tax Schedule
shall become final 30 calendar days after delivery of such Tax Schedule to Cantor unless Cantor, during such 30-calendar day period, provides Newmark with written notice of a material objection thereto made in good faith. If the parties, negotiating
in good faith, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within 15 calendar days, Newmark and Cantor shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures. 

  
 -8- 








 (b) Revised Schedule. Notwithstanding that the Covered Tax Benefit (if any), the Covered
Tax Detriment (if any) and the Tax Benefit Payment (if any) for a Covered Taxable Year may have become final under Section 2.01(a), such items shall be revised to the extent necessary to reflect (i) a Determination,
(ii) inaccuracies in the original computation as a result of factual information that was not previously taken into account, (iii) a change attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other tax item, (iv) a change
attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Covered Taxable Year (provided, however, that such a change attributable to an audit of a Tax Return by an applicable Taxing Authority relating to the deductibility of depreciation
or amortization deductions attributable to any Basis Adjustment shall not be taken into account under this Section 2.01(b) unless and until there has been a Determination with respect to such change) or (v) to comply with the
expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures. The parties shall cooperate in connection with any proposed revision to the Covered Tax Benefit (if any), the Covered Tax Detriment (if any) and the Tax Benefit Payment (if any) for a
Covered Taxable Year. The party proposing a change to such an item shall provide the other party a schedule (a “Revised Schedule”) showing the computation and explanation of such revision, together with work papers providing
reasonable detail regarding the computation of such items. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, such revised Covered Tax Benefit (if any), revised Covered Tax Detriment (if any) and/or revised Tax Benefit Payment (if any) shall become
final 30 calendar days after delivery of such Revised Schedule unless the other party, during such 30-calendar day period, provides written notice of a material objection thereto made in good faith. If the parties, negotiating in good faith, are
unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within 15 calendar days, Newmark and Cantor shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures. 

(c) Applicable Principles. It is the intention of the parties for Newmark to pay Cantor (subject to the escrow) 85% of the additional
Covered Taxes that Newmark would have been required to pay on Tax Returns that have actually been filed but for any depreciation or amortization deductions attributable to any Basis Adjustment (and any Imputed Interest) and this Agreement shall be
interpreted in accordance with such intention. Such amount shall be determined using a “with and without” methodology. Carryovers or carrybacks of any tax item shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code (or any successor
U.S. Federal income tax statute) and the Treasury Regulations or the appropriate provisions of U.S. state and local income and franchise Tax law, as applicable, governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant
type. If a carryover or carryback of any Tax item includes a portion that is attributable to the Basis Adjustment and another portion that is not, such portions shall be considered to be used in the order determined using such “with and
without” methodology. 
 (d) Relevant Taxes and Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the
computation of Realized Tax Benefits and Realized Tax Detriments for any Covered Taxable Year shall be performed by taking into account only Covered Taxes (and the related Hypothetical Tax Liability) reported or required to be reported on a Newmark
Separate Return for such Covered Taxable Year, and (y) any Taxes affected by a Basis Adjustment (and the related Hypothetical Tax Liability) to the extent reported on a Joint Return for a Covered Taxable Year shall not be taken into account for
purposes of this Agreement (it being understood that the effect of a Basis Adjustment on any Taxes reported on a Joint Return and any liability to Cantor for Tax benefits realized in respect thereof shall be governed by the BGC Partners TRA).

 ARTICLE III 

Tax Benefit Payments 

SECTION 3.01. Payments. (a)Within 3 Business Days of the Tax Schedule for any Covered Taxable Year becoming final under
Section 2.01(a), Newmark shall pay (i) to Cantor an amount equal to 80% of the Tax Benefit Payment (determined in accordance with Section 3.01(b)) and (ii) to a national bank mutually agreeable to Newmark and Cantor
as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), an amount equal to 20% of such Tax Benefit Payment. The Escrow Agent shall hold each Tax Benefit Payment it receives in escrow (the “Escrow”) pursuant to a mutually agreeable
escrow agreement between Newmark and Cantor until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations attributable to the Covered Taxable Year to which such Tax Benefit Payment relates. Each Tax Benefit Payment shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the bank accounts of Cantor and the Escrow Agent previously designated by such parties to Newmark. 
 (b) A
“Tax Benefit Payment” shall equal, with respect to any Covered Taxable Year, the amount of Covered Tax Benefits, if any, for a Covered Taxable Year; 

increased by: 
 (i) the
interest calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing the Tax Return with respect to Covered Taxes for such Covered Taxable Year; and 

(ii) any increase in the Covered Tax Benefit or reduction in the Covered Tax Detriment that has become final under
Section 2.01(b); 
 and decreased, but without duplication of amount reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.02, by:

 (iii) any Covered Tax Detriment for a previous Covered Taxable Year; and 

(iv) any decrease in the Covered Tax Benefit or increase in the Covered Tax Detriment that has become final under
Section 2.01(b); 
 provided, however, that (A) the amounts described in Section 3.01(b)(ii),
(iii) and (iv) shall not be taken into account in determining a Tax Benefit Payment attributable to any Covered Taxable Year to the extent of such amounts were taken into account in determining any Tax Benefit Payment in a
preceding Covered Taxable Year and (B) the amounts described in Section 3.01(b)(iii) and (iv) shall not be taken into account in determining a Tax Benefit Payment attributable to any Covered Taxable Year to the extent
such amounts actually reduced (but not below zero) the Tax Benefit Payment actually made by Newmark for a previously Covered Taxable Year. 

  
 -10- 








 SECTION 3.02. Reimbursement and Indemnification. (a)To the extent that there is a
Determination that a deduction for depreciation or amortization attributable to a Basis Adjustment taken into account in computing a Tax Benefit Payment or Imputed Interest taken into account in computing a Tax Benefit Payment is not available,
Cantor shall promptly (i) reimburse Newmark for any prior payment made to Cantor in respect of such deductions for depreciation, amortization or Imputed Interest and (ii) without duplication, indemnify Newmark and hold it harmless with
respect to any interest or penalties and any other losses in respect of the disallowance of such deductions (together with reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees incurred in connection with any related Tax contest, but the indemnity
for such reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees shall only apply to the extent Cantor is permitted to control such contest). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree and acknowledge that Cantor shall not have any payment or
reimbursement obligation to Newmark in respect of any Covered Tax Detriment, except as contemplated by this Section 3.02 and except for the reduction (but not below zero) of amounts that would otherwise be due Cantor pursuant to
Section 3.01(b). For the further avoidance of doubt and by way of example, if $20 of depreciation is claimed in Year 1 resulting in a $10 Covered Tax Benefit and Tax Benefit Payment in the same amount to Cantor in Year 2, and the Year 1
depreciation is later disallowed by the IRS, the amount of the payment from Cantor to Newmark under this Section 3.02(a) shall include an amount equal to the $10 Tax Benefit Payment paid with respect to such disallowed depreciation plus
the amount of interest and penalties, if any, paid by Newmark with respect to such disallowed depreciation plus any tax savings taken into account in computing the Tax Benefit Payment for other Covered Taxable Years that will be disallowed as a
result of such payment (e.g., Imputed Interest) plus any Tax imposed on Newmark as a result of such payment. 
 (b) Any reimbursement or
indemnification payments by Cantor pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be satisfied first from the amounts in Escrow (to the extent funded in respect of the Covered Tax Benefit(s) to which such reimbursement or indemnification payments
relate). 
 SECTION 3.03. No Duplicative Payments. No duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) will be required
under this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE IV 

Change Notices 

SECTION 4.01. Change Notices. If Newmark, Newmark Holdings, Newmark Opco or any of their respective Subsidiaries receives a 30-day
letter, a final audit report, a statutory notice of deficiency or similar written notice from any Taxing Authority with respect to the Tax treatment of any Taxable Exchange (a “Change Notice”), which, if sustained, would result in
(i) a reduction in the amount of Realized Tax Benefit with respect to a Covered Taxable Year preceding the Taxable Year in which the Change Notice is received or (ii) a reduction in the amount of Tax Benefit Payments Newmark will be
required to pay to Cantor with respect to Covered Taxable Years after and including the Taxable Year in which the Change Notice is received, and which, if determined adversely to the recipient of the Change Notice or after the lapse of time would be
grounds for indemnification or reimbursement by Cantor under Section 3.02(a), prompt written notice shall be given to Cantor, provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification
provided under this Agreement except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. 

  
 -11- 








 ARTICLE V 

Termination 

SECTION 5.01. Early Termination of Agreement. Newmark may terminate this Agreement with the approval by a majority of the
independent directors of Newmark by paying to Cantor an agreed value of payments remaining to be made under this Agreement (the “Early Termination Payment”) as of the date of the Early Termination Notice (as defined herein). Upon
payment of the Early Termination Payment by Newmark, Newmark shall have no further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than for any (a) Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by Newmark and Cantor as due and payable but unpaid as of the
Early Termination Notice and (b) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Covered Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to the extent that the amount described in clause (a) or (b) is
included in the Early Termination Payment). 
 SECTION 5.02. Early Termination Notice. If Newmark chooses to request early
termination under Section 5.01 above, Newmark shall deliver to Cantor a notice (the “Early Termination Notice”) specifying Newmark’s intention to request early termination and showing in reasonable detail its
calculation of the Early Termination Payment (the “Proposed Early Termination Payment”). At the time Newmark delivers the Early Termination Notice to Cantor, Newmark shall (a) deliver to Cantor schedules and work papers
providing reasonable detail regarding the calculation of the Proposed Early Termination Payment and a letter from a nationally recognized accounting firm supporting such calculation and (b) allow Cantor reasonable access to the appropriate
representatives at Newmark and its Subsidiaries and such accounting firm (and the Accounting Firm) in connection with its review of such calculation. Within 30 days after receiving such calculation, Cantor shall notify Newmark whether it agrees to
or objects to the Proposed Early Termination Payment. The Proposed Early Termination Payment shall only become final and binding on the parties if Cantor agrees in writing to the value of the Proposed Early Termination Payment within such 30 day
period (or such shorter period as may be mutually agreed in writing by the parties). If Cantor and Newmark cannot agree upon the value of the Early Termination Payment, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt,
Newmark shall have no obligation to request early termination under Section 5.01. 
 SECTION 5.03. Payment upon Early
Termination. Within 3 calendar days of an agreement between Cantor and Newmark as to the value of the Early Termination Payment, Newmark shall pay to Cantor an amount equal to the Early Termination Payment. Such payment shall be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Cantor.

Early Termination Payment required to be made by Newmark to Cantor under this Agreement (a “Newmark Payment”) shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest or other amounts due and payable in
respect of any debt of Newmark (“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu with all current or future unsecured obligations of Newmark that are not Senior Obligations. 

SECTION 6.02. Late Payments by Newmark. The amount of all or any portion of a Newmark Payment not made to Cantor when due under the
terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Agreed Rate and commencing from the date on which such Newmark Payment was due and payable.

the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Newmark shall notify Cantor of, and keep Cantor reasonably informed with respect to, and Cantor
shall have the right to participate in and monitor (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not to control) the portion of any audit of Newmark, Newmark Holdings, Newmark Opco and their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, by a Taxing Authority the
outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect Cantor’s rights under this Agreement or the BGC Partners TRA (if any). Newmark shall provide to Cantor reasonable opportunity to provide information and other input to Newmark and its advisors
concerning the conduct of any such portion of such audits. None of Newmark, Newmark Holdings, Newmark Opco or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall settle or otherwise resolve any audit or other challenge by a Taxing Authority relating
to the Basis Adjustment or the BGC Partners TRA Basis Adjustment (if any) without the consent of the Audit Committee and Cantor, which consent Cantor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. 

SECTION 7.02. Tax Positions. Newmark shall determine after consultation with Cantor the extent to which it is permitted to claim
any depreciation or amortization deductions attributable to the Basis Adjustments, and the amount and deductibility of any Imputed Interest, and such deduction shall be taken into account in computing the Realized Tax Benefits so long as the
Accounting Firm agrees that it is at least more likely than not that such deduction is available. For purposes of this Agreement, a tax position shall not be considered permitted by law unless the Accounting Firm is at a “more likely than
not” or higher level of comfort with respect to such tax position.

 SECTION 7.03. Cooperation. Cantor shall (and shall cause its affiliates to)
(a) furnish to Newmark in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials as Newmark may reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, preparing any Tax
Return or contesting or defending any audit, examination or controversy with any Taxing Authority, (b) make its employees available to Newmark and its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information
as Newmark or its representative may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (a) above, and (c) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter.

SECTION 8.03. Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and

 SECTION 8.06. Successors; Assignment; Amendments. Cantor may not assign this
Agreement to any person without the prior written consent of Newmark and the Audit Committee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, Cantor may pledge some or all of its rights,

Cantor without the prior written consent of Newmark. Newmark may not assign any of their rights, interests or entitlements under this Agreement without the consent of Cantor, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided,
however, that Newmark may assign its rights to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmark without the prior written consent of Cantor; provided, further, however, that no such assignment shall relieve Cantor or Newmark of any
of its obligations hereunder. Subject to each of the two immediately preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns including any
acquirer of all or substantially all of the assets of Newmark. Any amendment to this Agreement will be subject to approval by a majority of the independent directors of Newmark. 

SECTION 8.07. Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference
only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

New York and Delaware and any court of the U.S. located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City or the State of Delaware; (b) waives any objection which such party may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceeding
brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceeding, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such party;
(c) consents to the service of process at the address set forth for notices in Schedule A; provided, however, that such manner of service of process shall not preclude the service of process in any other manner permitted
under applicable law; and (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights to trial by jury in connection with any Proceeding. 

SECTION 8.09. Reconciliation. In the event that Newmark and Cantor are unable to resolve a disagreement within the relevant period
designated in this Agreement, the matter shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert in the particular area of disagreement employed by a nationally recognized accounting firm or a law firm (other than the Accounting
Firm), which expert is mutually acceptable to all parties and the Audit Committee. If the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement is due or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, such
payment shall be made on the date prescribed by this Agreement in the amount proposed by Newmark and such Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Newmark, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The determinations of the expert pursuant
to this Section 8.09 shall be binding on Newmark and its Subsidiaries, Newmark Holdings, Newmark Opco and Cantor absent manifest error.

and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Newmark and the Escrow Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign
tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by Newmark or the Escrow Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Cantor.
