each asset on the books of the Partnership shall be adjusted to equal its gross fair market value (as reasonably determined by the General Partner) at such time, and the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain (if such
adjustment is positive) or loss (if such adjustment is negative) from the disposition of such asset for purposes of this Section 5.04(a); provided, further, that any and all items of income, gain, loss or deduction to the
extent resulting from a Special Item will be allocated entirely to the Capital Accounts of the Limited Partnership Interests (other than the Non-Participating Units) held by Partners who are members of the Holdings Group, pro rata in
proportion to the number of Units held by such Partners. If, after any allocation of items of income, gain, loss or deduction resulting from a Special Item, there is an exchange of an Exchangeable Limited Partnership Interest (as defined in the
Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement) or a Founding Partner Interest (as defined in the Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement) with BGC Partners for BGC Partners Common Stock, then (A) the Capital Account of the Limited Partnership
Interests provided to BGC Partners in connection with such exchange pursuant to Section 8.07 of the Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement shall be equal to (1) the total Capital for all issued and outstanding Interests,
divided by (2) the total number of issued and outstanding Units, multiplied by (3) the number of Units underlying such Limited Partnership Interest (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the impact
of any Special Item and the intention of the Parties for Holdings (and not BGC Partners) to realize the economic benefits and burdens of such Special Item); and (B) any increase or decrease in the remaining Capital for all issued and
outstanding Interests as a result of clause (A) of this sentence shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Limited Partnership Interests (other than the Non-Participating Units) held by Partners who are members of the Holdings
Group, pro rata in proportion to the number of Units held by such Partners. 
 (b) Tax Allocations. Except as otherwise
required under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, the Partnership shall cause each item of income, gain, loss or deduction recognized by the Partnership to be allocated among the Partners for
U.S. federal, state and local income and, where relevant, non-U.S. tax purposes in the same manner that each such item is allocated to the Partners’ Capital Accounts or as otherwise provided herein. In
the event the value of any Partnership assets is adjusted pursuant to the first proviso of Section 5.04(c), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation
between the adjusted basis of such asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its adjusted value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder. Allocations required by
Section 704(c) of the Code shall be made using the “traditional method” described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b). 

(c) Newmark Separation Allocations. Any allocations with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Newmark Separation Agreement
and/or the Newmark Ancillary Agreements shall be made in a manner consistent therewith and, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, (x) any item of loss or deduction in respect of any indemnification payment or obligation of
the Partnership in respect of any loss attributable to a Partner shall be allocated to such Partner (or otherwise charged to the Capital Account of such 

  
 -21- 








 
Partner) and (y) any item of income or gain in respect of any indemnification payment accrued or received by the Partnership in respect of any loss incurred by a Partner shall be allocated
to such Partner (or otherwise credited to the Capital Account of such Partner). In the event that any item of income, gain, loss or deduction is specially allocated to the Capital Account of a Partner pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence,
the General Partner may make such other adjustments in respect of the Capital Accounts of the Partners (including in connection with any transfer of Limited Partnership Interests pursuant to Article VIII of the Holdings Limited
Partnership Agreement in connection with a redemption of an Exchange Right Interest (as defined in the Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement) and related Exchange Right Units (as defined in the Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement)) as may be
necessary or appropriate (as determined by the General Partner) to carry out the intent of this Section 5.04(c), the Newmark Separation Agreement and the Newmark Ancillary Agreements. 

Section 5.05. General Partner Determinations. All determinations, valuations and other matters of judgment required to be made for
purposes of this Article V, including with respect to allocations to Capital Accounts and accounting procedures and tax matters not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement, or for determining the value of any type or form of
proceeds, contribution or distributions hereunder shall be made by the General Partner in good faith. In the event that an additional Partner is admitted to the Partnership and contributes property to the Partnership, or an existing Partner
contributes additional property to the Partnership, pursuant to this Agreement, the value of such contributed property shall be the fair market value of such property as reasonably determined by the General Partner. 

Section 5.06. Books and Accounts. 

(a) The Partnership shall at all times keep or cause to be kept true and complete records and books of account, which records and books shall
be maintained in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such records and books of account shall be kept at the principal place of business of the Partnership by the General Partner. The Limited Partners shall have the right
to gain access to all such records and books of account (including schedules thereto) for inspection and view (at such reasonable times as the General Partner shall determine) for any purpose reasonably related to their Interests. The
Partnership’s accounts shall be maintained in U.S. dollars. 
 (b) The Partnership’s fiscal year shall begin on January 1 and
end on December 31 of each year, or shall be such other period designated by the General Partner. At the end of each fiscal year, the Partnership’s accounts shall be prepared, presented to the General Partner and submitted to the
Partnership’s auditors for examination. 
 (c) The Partnership’s auditors shall be an independent accounting firm of international
reputation to be appointed from time to time by the General Partner. The Partnership’s auditors shall be entitled to receive promptly such information, accounts and explanations from the General Partner and each Partner that they deem
reasonably necessary to carry out their duties. The Partners shall provide such financial, tax and other information to the Partnership as may be reasonably necessary and appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Partnership.

 Section 5.07. Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner is hereby designated as the
“tax matters partner” of the Partnership within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code prior to amendment by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 and any similar provisions under any other state or local or non-U.S. tax laws and the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223(a) of the Code and any similar provisions under any other state or local or
non-U.S. tax laws (the tax matters partner or partnership representative, as applicable, the “Tax Matters Partner”). The Tax Matters Partner shall have all requisite power and authority to
carry out the responsibilities of the Tax Matters Partner described in the Code and shall represent the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities,
including resulting judicial and administrative proceedings. The Partnership shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Partner in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or otherwise acting in such capacity
(including taking any action contemplated by this Section 5.07 and engaging an independent accounting firm or other tax professional(s) in connection therewith). The General Partner shall have the authority, in its sole and absolute discretion,
to (a) make an election under Section 754 of the Code on behalf of the Partnership, and each Partner agrees to provide such information and documentation as the General Partner may reasonably request in connection with any such election,
(b) determine the manner in which “excess nonrecourse liabilities” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3)) are allocated among the Partners and (c) make any
other election or determination with respect to taxes (including with respect to depreciation, amortization and accounting methods). 

Section 5.08. Tax Information. The Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and mail as soon as reasonably
practicable after the end of each taxable year of the Partnership, to each Partner (and each other Person that was such a Partner during such taxable year or its legal representatives), U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Schedule K-1, “Partner’s Share of Income, Credits, Deductions, Etc.,” or any successor schedule or form, for such Person. 

Section 5.09. Withholding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Partnership is authorized to withhold from
distributions and allocations to the Partners, and to pay over to any federal, state, local or foreign governmental authority any amounts believed in good faith to be required to be so withheld or paid over pursuant to the Code or any provision of
any other federal, state, local or foreign law and, for all purposes under this Agreement, shall treat such amounts (together with any amounts that are withheld from payments to the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries attributable to a direct or
indirect Partner of the Partnership) as distributed to those Partners with respect to which such amounts were withheld. If the Partnership is obligated to pay any amount to a taxing authority on behalf of (or in respect of an obligation of) a
Partner (including, federal, state and local or other withholding taxes), then such Partner shall indemnify the Partnership in full for the entire amount of any Tax (but not any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payment).

 ARTICLE VI 

DISTRIBUTIONS 

Section 6.01. Distributions in Respect of Partnership Interests. Subject to the remaining sentences of this Section 6.01, the
Partnership shall distribute to each Partner from such Partner’s Capital Account (a) on or prior to each Estimated Tax Due Date (i) such Partner’s Estimated Proportionate Quarterly Tax Distribution for such fiscal quarter,
plus (ii) with respect to Partners who are members of the Holdings Group in each case in respect of their Units, an amount (positive or negative) calculated using the methodology contemplated by the definition “Estimated
Proportionate Quarterly Tax Distribution” (taking into account for this purpose items of income, gain, loss or deduction allocated in respect of any Special Item and disregarding all other items) for such fiscal quarter in respect of any items
of income, gain, loss or deduction allocated in respect of any Special Item, and (b) as promptly as practicable after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Partnership (or on such other date and time as determined by the General Partner) an
amount equal to all amounts allocated to such Partner’s Capital Account with respect to such quarter (reduced, but not below zero, by the amount of any prior distributions to such Partner pursuant to this Section 6.01 or any amounts
treated as distributed pursuant to Section 5.09), with such distribution to occur on such date and time as determined by the General Partner; provided that (i) in no event shall such distributions exceed the Available Cash; and
(ii) with the prior written consent of the holders of a Majority in Interest, the Partnership may decrease the amount distributed from such Partners’ Capital Accounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Section 6.01, in the event the Partnership is unable to make the distributions contemplated by the foregoing as a result of any Special Item, then the Partnership shall use reasonable best efforts to borrow such amounts as are necessary to make
distributions that would have been received by the BGC Partners Group in the absence of any such Special Item and to make the Estimated Proportionate Quarterly Tax Distributions to the Cantor Group, and the costs of any such costs borrowing shall be
treated as a Special Item. No distributions shall be made by the Partnership except as expressly contemplated by this Section 6.01 and Section 9.03. 

Section 6.02. Limitation on Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
Partnership and the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, shall not be required to make a distribution to a Partner on account of its interest in the Partnership if such distribution would violate the Act or any other applicable law.

shall have provided their respective prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that if such Transfer could reasonably be expected to result in the Partnership being classified or treated as a
publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the withholding of consent to such Transfer shall not be deemed unreasonable) (including any Transfer to the Partnership). 

(b) Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest. The Special Voting Limited Partner may not Transfer or agree or otherwise commit to
Transfer all or any portion of, or any right, title and interest in and to, its Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest, except any such Transfer to a wholly owned Subsidiary of Holdings; provided that, in the event that such transferee
shall cease to be a wholly owned Subsidiary of Holdings, the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest shall automatically be Transferred to Holdings, without the requirement of any further action on the part of the Partnership, Holdings or any

General Partner may resign from the Partnership for any reason or for no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that, as a condition to any such removal or resignation, (A) the Special Voting Limited Partner shall first
appoint another Person as the new General Partner; (B) such Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as the new General Partner (upon the execution and delivery of an agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and such other
agreements, documents or instruments requested by the resigning General Partner); and (C) such resigning or removed General Partner shall Transfer its entire General Partnership Interest to the new General Partner. The admission of the
new General Partner shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the effectiveness of the resignation of the resigning General Partner, and shall otherwise have the effects set forth in Section 4.03(a)(iii). Upon removal of any General
Partner, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the General Partnership Interest shall be transferred to the Person being admitted as the new General Partner, simultaneously with admission and without the requirement of any action on the
part of the General Partner being removed or any other Person.

the Transferee agrees to be admitted as a Partner and bound by this Agreement and any other agreements, documents or instruments specified by the General Partner and such agreements (when applicable) shall have been duly executed by the General
Partner; provided, however, that if such Transferee (a) is at the time of such Transfer a Partner of the applicable class of Interests being Transferred or (b) has previously entered into an agreement pursuant to which the
Transferee shall have agreed to become a Partner and be bound by this Agreement (which agreement is in effect at the time of such Transfer), such Transferee shall not be required to enter into any such agreements unless otherwise determined by the
General Partner; provided, further, that the Transfers, admissions to and withdrawals from the Partnership as Partners, contemplated in connection with the Newmark Separation shall not require the execution or delivery of any further
agreements or other documentation hereunder.

Partner who Transfers an Interest shall be deemed to have Transferred the entire Interest, including the associated Units, Non-Participating Units and Capital with respect to such Interest, or, if a portion of
an Interest is being Transferred, each Partner who Transfers a portion of an Interest shall specify the number of Units being so Transferred and such Transfer shall include a proportionate amount of Capital with respect to such Interest, to the
Transferee. 
 Section 7.05. Encumbrances. No Partner may charge or encumber its Interest or otherwise subject its Interest to a
lien, pledge, security interest, right of first refusal, option or other similar limitation except in each case for those created by this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII 
 REDEMPTION

 Section 8.01. Redemption of Units Following a Redemption of Founding/Working Partner Interests or REU Interest. 

(a) Founding Partner Interests. Upon any redemption or purchase by Holdings of any Founding Partner Interest pursuant to
Section 12.03 or 12.04 of the Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement, Holdings shall cause the Partnership and Global Opco to redeem and purchase from Holdings a number of Units (and the associated Capital) and cause Global Opco to redeem and
purchase from Holdings a number of Global Opco Units (and the associated Global Opco Capital), in each case, equal to (A) the number of Units underlying the redeemed or purchased Founding Partner Interest, multiplied by
(B) the Holdings Ratio as of immediately prior to the redemption or purchase of such Founding Partner Interest. The aggregate purchase price that the Opcos shall pay to Holdings in such redemption shall be an amount of cash equal to
(x) the number of Units so redeemed multiplied by (y) the Current Market Price; provided that, upon mutual agreement of the general partner of Holdings, the General Partner and the general partner of
Global Opco, The Partnership and Global Opco may, in lieu of cash, pay all or a portion of this amount in Publicly Traded Shares, valued at the average of the closing prices of such shares (as reported by the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other
national securities exchange or quotation system on which such shares are then listed or quoted) during the 10-trading-day period immediately preceding each payment (or by such other fair and reasonable pricing method as they may agree), or other
property, valued at its then-fair market value, as determined by them. BGC Partners shall determine the proportion of such amount that shall be paid by the Partnership, on the one hand, and Global Opco, on the other hand (which determination shall
be based on BGC Partners’ good-faith judgment as to the proportion of the total fair value of the Opcos represented by the Partnership and Global Opco, respectively, as of such date). 

(b) Working Partner Interests. Upon any redemption or purchase by Holdings of any Working Partner Interest pursuant to Section

Holdings a number of Global Opco Units (and the associated 

  
 -27- 








 
Global Opco Capital), in each case, equal to (A) the number of Units underlying the redeemed or purchased Working Partner Interest, multiplied by (B) the Holdings Ratio as
of immediately prior to the redemption or purchase of such Working Partner Interest. The aggregate purchase price that the Opcos shall pay to Holdings in such redemption shall be an amount of cash equal to the amount required by Holdings to redeem
or purchase such Working Partner Interest; provided that, upon mutual agreement of the general partner of Holdings, the General Partner and the general partner of Global Opco, the Partnership and Global Opco may, in lieu of cash, pay all or a
portion of this amount in Publicly Traded Shares, valued at the average of the closing prices of such shares (as reported by the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other national securities exchange or quotation system on which such shares are then
listed or quoted) during the 10-trading-day period immediately preceding each payment (or by such other fair and reasonable pricing method as they may agree), or other property valued at its then-fair market value, as determined by them. BGC
Partners shall determine the proportion of such amount that shall be paid by the Partnership, on the one hand, and Global Opco, on the other hand (which determination shall be based on BGC Partners’ good-faith judgment as to the proportion of
the total fair value of the Opcos represented by the Partnership and Global Opco, respectively, as of such date). 
 (c) REU Interests. Upon
any redemption or purchase by Holdings of any REU Interest pursuant to Section 12.03 or 12.04 of the Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement, Holdings shall cause The Partnership and Global Opco to redeem and purchase from Holdings a number of
Units (and the associated Capital) and cause Global Opco to redeem and purchase from Holdings a number of Global Opco Units (and the associated Global Opco Capital), in each case, equal to (A) the number of Units underlying the redeemed
or purchased REU Interest, multiplied by (B) the Holdings Ratio as of immediately prior to the redemption or purchase of such REU Interest. The aggregate purchase price that the Opcos shall pay to Holdings in such redemption shall
be an amount of cash equal to the amount required by Holdings to redeem or purchase such REU Interest (including the REU Post-Termination Payment (as defined in the Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement), if any); provided that, upon mutual
agreement of the general partner of Holdings, the General Partner and the general partner of Global Opco, the Partnership and Global Opco may, in lieu of cash, pay all or a portion of this amount in Publicly Traded Shares, valued at the average of
the closing prices of such shares (as reported by the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other national securities exchange or quotation system on which such shares are then listed or quoted) during the 10-trading-day period immediately preceding
each payment (or by such other fair and reasonable pricing method as they may agree), or other property valued at its then-fair market value, as determined by them. BGC Partners shall determine the proportion of such amount that shall be paid by the
Partnership, on the one hand, and Global Opco, on the other hand (which determination shall be based on BGC Partners’ good-faith judgment as to the proportion of the total fair value of the Opcos represented by the Partnership and Global Opco,
respectively, as of such date). 
 Section 8.02. Optional Redemption of Units in Connection with a Repurchase of BGC Partners Common
Stock. At the election of BGC Partners, in connection with a repurchase by BGC Partners of its Class A Common Stock or a similar action, the Partnership and Global Opco, directly or indirectly through their Subsidiaries, shall redeem and
purchase from BGC Partners a number of Units (and the associated Capital) and a number of Global Opco Units (and the associated Global Opco Capital), in each case, equal to (a) the number of shares of BGC


  
 -28- 








 
Partners Common Stock repurchased or expected to be repurchased multiplied by (b) the BGC Ratio as of immediately prior to the such repurchase or expected repurchase or similar
action. The aggregate purchase price that the Opcos shall pay to BGC Partners in such redemption shall be an amount of cash equal to the gross amount paid or expected to be paid by BGC Partners to repurchase its stock or take similar action,
including any commissions paid. BGC Partners shall determine the proportion of such amount that shall be paid by the Partnership, on the one hand, and Global Opco, on the other hand (which determination shall be based on BGC Partners’
good-faith judgment as to the proportion of the total fair value of the Opcos represented by the Partnership and Global Opco, respectively, as of such date).

enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while surviving as a director,
officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) as the same exists or may hereafter be
amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, to the fullest extent permitted by law, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Partnership to provide broader indemnification rights than the DGCL permitted the Partnership to provide
prior to such amendment), as if the Partnership were a corporation organized under the DGCL, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees and expenses, judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and excise
taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 10.02(c), the Partnership shall indemnify any such Person seeking


  
 -31- 








 
indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the General Partner. The right to
indemnification conferred in this Section 10.02 shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Partnership the expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance
of its financial disposition; provided, however, that if the applicable law requires that the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in
which service was or is rendered by such Person while a director or officer, including service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Partnership of an undertaking by
or on behalf of such director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 10.02 or otherwise, then such advancement
of expenses shall be conditioned upon the delivery of such an undertaking by such director or officer to the Partnership. 
 (b) To obtain
indemnification under this Section 10.02, a claimant shall submit to the Partnership a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the claimant and is reasonably
necessary to determine whether and to what extent the claimant is entitled to indemnification. Upon written request by a claimant for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 10.02(b), a determination, if required
by applicable law, with respect to the claimant’s entitlement thereto shall be made as follows: (i) if requested by the claimant, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) if no request is made by the
claimant for a determination by Independent Counsel, (x) by the board of directors of BGC Partners by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), or (y) if a quorum of the board
of directors of BGC Partners consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the board of directors of BGC Partners, a
copy of which shall be delivered to the claimant, or (z) if a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest. In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made
by Independent Counsel at the request of the claimant, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the board of directors of BGC Partners unless there shall have occurred within two years prior to the date of the commencement of the action, suit or
proceeding for which indemnification is claimed a “Change of Control” as defined in the BGC Partners, Inc. Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan, in which case the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the claimant unless the
claimant shall request that such selection be made by the board of directors of BGC Partners. If it is so determined that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, payment to the claimant shall be made within ten (10) days after such
determination. 
 (c) If a claim under Section 10.02(a) is not paid in full by the Partnership within thirty (30) days after
a written claim pursuant to Section 10.02(b) has been received by the Partnership, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Partnership to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in
part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its
final disposition where the undertaking required by this Section 10.02, if any, has been tendered to the Partnership) that the claimant has not met the 

  
 -32- 








 
standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment
permits the Partnership to provide broader indemnification rights than it permitted the Partnership to provide prior to such amendment) for the Partnership to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed if the Partnership were a corporation
organized under the DGCL, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Partnership. Neither the failure of the Partnership (including the board of directors of BGC Partners, Independent Counsel or a Majority in Interest) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the
Partnership (including the board of directors of BGC Partners, Independent Counsel or a Majority in Interest) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to such action or create a presumption that the
claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 
 (d) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10.02(b)
that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, the Partnership shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 10.02(c). 

(e) The Partnership shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 10.02(c) that the
procedures and presumptions of this Section 10.02 are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the Partnership is bound by all the provisions of this Section 10.02. 

(f) The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred
in this Section 10.02 shall not be exclusive of any other right that any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Agreement, agreement, vote of the Limited Partners (by affirmative vote of a Majority in
Interest) or Disinterested Directors or otherwise. No amendment or other modification of this Section 10.02 shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of a General Partner, a Limited Partner or any directors, officers,
employees or agents of the General Partner in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such amendment or other modification. 

(g) The Partnership may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the General Partner, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to be
paid by the Partnership the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any employee or agent of the Partnership to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 10.02 with respect to the
indemnification and advancement of expenses of a General Partner, or any director or officer of the General Partner or of the Partnership. 

(h) If any provision or provisions of this Section 10.02 shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever:
(i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Section 10.02 (including each portion of this Section 10.02 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Section 10.02 (including
each such portion of this Section 10.02 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable. 

  
 -33- 








 (i) For purposes of this Article X: 

(i) “Disinterested Director” means a director of BGC Partners who is not and was not a party to the matter in
respect of which indemnification is sought by the claimant. 
 (ii) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm,
a member of a law firm, or an independent practitioner, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and shall include any Person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would not have a conflict of interest
in representing either the Partnership or the claimant in an action to determine the claimant’s rights under this Section 10.02. 

(j) Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the Partnership under this Section 10.02 shall be in
writing and either delivered in person or sent by facsimile, overnight mail or courier service, or certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the General Partner and shall be effective only upon receipt by the
General Partner. 
 Section 10.03. Insurance. The Partnership may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Partnership or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such
Person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL if the Partnership were a corporation organized under the DGCL. To the extent that the Partnership maintains any policy or policies providing such insurance, each such director or
officer, and each such agent or employee to which rights of indemnification have been granted as provided in Section 10.02 shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage
thereunder for any such director, officer, employee or agent. 
 Section 10.04. Subrogation. In the event of payment of
indemnification to a Person described in Section 10.02, the Partnership shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to any right of recovery such person may have and such person, as a condition of receiving indemnification from the
Partnership, shall execute all documents and do all things that the Partnership may deem necessary or desirable to perfect such right of recovery, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Partnership effectively to enforce
any such recovery. 
 Section 10.05. No Duplication of Payments. The Partnership shall not be liable under this Article X
to make any payment in connection with any claim made against a Person described in Section 10.02 to the extent such Person has otherwise received payment (under any insurance policy or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise payable as indemnity
hereunder. 
 Section 10.06. Survival. This Article X shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

 ARTICLE XI 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 11.01. Amendments. Except as provided in Section 10.02 with respect to this Agreement or Section 2.01 with
respect to the Certificate of Limited Partnership, the Certificate of Limited Partnership and this Agreement may not be amended except with (and any such amendment shall be authorized upon obtaining) the approval of each of the General Partner and
the Limited Partners (by the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest); provided that this Agreement shall not be amended to (i) amend any provisions which require the consent of a specified percentage in interest of the Limited
Partners without the consent of that specified percentage in interest of the Limited Partners; (ii) alter the interest of any Partner in the amount or timing of distributions or the allocation of profits, losses or credits (other than any such
alteration caused by the acquisition of additional Units by any Partner or the issuance of additional Units to any Person pursuant to this Agreement or as otherwise expressly provided herein), if such alteration would either (A) materially
adversely affect the economic interest of a Partner in the Partnership or (B) materially adversely affect the value of Interests, in each case without the consent of (x) the Partners holding at least
two-thirds of all Units in the case of an amendment applying in a substantially similar manner to all classes of Interests or (y) two-thirds in interest of the
affected class or classes of the Partners in the case of any other amendment; or (iii) amend this Agreement to alter the Special Voting Limited Partner’s ability to remove a General Partner; provided, however, that the
General Partner may authorize, without further approval of any other Person or group, (1) any amendment to this Agreement to correct any technicality, incorrect statement or error apparent on the face hereof in order to further the intent of
the parties hereto or (2) correction of any formality or error apparent on the face hereof or incorrect statement or defect in the execution hereof. Any merger or consolidation of the Partnership with any third party that shall amend or
otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement shall require the approval of the Persons referred to above to the extent the approval of such Persons would have been required had such amendment or modification been effected by an amendment to this
Agreement. 
 Section 11.02. Benefits of Agreement. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or
enforceable by any creditor of the Partnership or by any creditor of any of the Partners. Except as provided in Article X with respect to Persons entitled to indemnification pursuant to such Article and except for any consent right provided to
Cantor as set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any right in any Person not a party hereto, and this instrument shall not be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in part for the benefit of
any third person. 
 Section 11.03. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any Partner or other Person
under the provisions of the Act or this Agreement, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the Person or Persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.
Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the Partners (if any shall be called) or the General Partner need be specified in any waiver of notice of such meeting.

 Section 11.04. Jurisdiction and Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial. 

(a) Each of the Partners agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that all Actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement,
the Partnership’s affairs, the rights or interests of the Partners or the estate of any deceased Partner (to the extent that they are related to any of the foregoing), or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or any breach or termination or alleged breach or termination of this Agreement, shall be tried and determined exclusively in the state or federal courts in the State of Delaware, and each of the Partners hereby
irrevocably submits with regard to any such Action for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the Partners hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any right it may have to assert, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any such Action: (i) any claim that it is not subject to personal jurisdiction in the aforesaid courts
for any reason; (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts; (iii) that (A) any of the aforesaid courts is an inconvenient or
inappropriate forum for such Action, or (B) venue is not proper in any of the aforesaid courts; and (iv) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof or thereof, may not be enforced in or by any of the aforesaid courts. With respect to any
action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any obligation hereunder, each Partner irrevocably and unconditionally, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (x) agrees to appoint promptly upon request from the Partnership authorized
agents for the purpose of receiving service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in Wilmington, Delaware; (y) consents to service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in such jurisdictions; and (z) consents to service of process by
mailing a copy thereof to the address of the Partner determined under Section 11.07 by U.S. registered or certified mail, by the closest foreign equivalent of registered or certified mail, by a recognized overnight delivery service, by service upon
any agent specified pursuant to clause (x) above, or by any other manner permitted by applicable law, 
 (b) EACH PARTNER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO
REQUEST OR OBTAIN A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING GOVERNED BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR PERTAINING TO THE MATTERS GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT. “MATTERS GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT” SHALL INCLUDE ANY AND ALL MATTERS AND
AGREEMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY DISPUTES ARISING WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH MATTERS AND AGREEMENTS. 
 (c) The Partners
acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Partnership
shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions or other equitable relief to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, this being in addition to any other
remedy to which the Partnership may be entitled by law or equity. Each Partner agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief and agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. 

  
 -36- 








 Section 11.05. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective estates, heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, any additional Partner admitted in accordance with the provisions hereof and any successor to a trustee of a trust
that is or becomes a party hereto. 
 Section 11.06. Confidentiality. In addition to any other obligations set forth in this
Agreement, each Partner recognizes that confidential information has been and will be disclosed to such Partner by the Partnership and its Subsidiaries. Each Partner (other than the Cantor Group, the BGC Partners Group and the Holdings Group)
expressly agrees, whether or not at the time a Partner of the Partnership or providing services to the Partnership and/or any of its Subsidiaries, to (a) maintain the confidentiality of, and not disclose to any Person without the prior written
consent of the Partnership, any financial, legal or other advisor to the Partnership, any information relating to the business, clients, affairs or financial structure, position or results of the Partnership or its affiliates (including any
Affiliate) or any dispute that shall not be generally known to the public or the securities industry and (b) not to use such confidential information other than for the purpose of evaluating such Partner’s investment in the Partnership or
in connection with the discharge of any duties to the Partnership or its affiliates such Partner may have in such Partner’s capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Partnership or its affiliates. Notwithstanding
Section 11.04 or any other provision herein to the contrary, each Partner agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 11.06 by such Partner, and that in addition to all other remedies, the
Partnership shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or cure breaches of this Section 11.06 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Section 11.06, this being in addition to any other remedy
to which the Partnership may be entitled by law or equity. Each Partner agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief and agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. 

Section 11.07. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted by this Agreement shall be made in writing and
any such notice or communication shall be deemed delivered when delivered in Person, properly transmitted by facsimile, e-mail or any other electronic communication or posting or one (1) Business Day
after it has been sent by an internationally recognized overnight courier to the address for notices shown in the Partnership’s records (or any other address provided to the Partnership in writing for this purpose) or, if given to the
Partnership, to the principal place of business of the Partnership. Each Partner may from time to time change its address for notices under this Section 11.07 by giving at least five (5) days’ prior written notice of such changed
address to the Partnership. 
 Section 11.08. No Waiver of Rights. No failure or delay on the part of any Partner in the
exercise of any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right or power. The waiver by any Partner
of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach hereunder. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies otherwise available. 

  
 -37- 








 Section 11.09. Power of Attorney. Each Partner agrees that, by its execution of this
Agreement, such Partner irrevocably constitutes and appoints the General Partner as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest, with full power and
authority, in its name, place and stead to make, execute, acknowledge and record (a) all certificates, instruments or documents, including fictitious name or assumed name certificates, as may be required by, or may be appropriate under, the
laws of any state or jurisdiction in which the Partnership is doing or intends to do business and (b) all agreements, documents, certificates or other instruments amending this Agreement or the Certificate of Limited Partnership that may be
necessary or appropriate to reflect or accomplish (i) a change in the name or location of the principal place of business of the Partnership or a change of name or address of a Partner, (ii) the disposal or increase by a Partner of his
Interest in the Partnership or any part thereof, (iii) a distribution and reduction of the capital contribution of a Partner or any other changes in the capital of the Partnership, (iv) the dissolution or termination of the Partnership,
(v) the addition or substitution of a Person becoming a Partner of the Partnership and (vi) any amendment to this Agreement, in each case only to the extent expressly authorized and conducted in accordance with the other sections of this
Agreement. The power granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall survive the subsequent disability or incapacity of the principal. 

Section 11.10. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to cause it to be enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall
not in any way be affected or impaired. 
 Section 11.11. Headings. The section and article headings contained in this Agreement
are inserted for convenience of reference only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All references to Sections, Articles, Schedules or Exhibits contained herein mean Sections, Articles, Schedules or Exhibits of this

Original Limited Partnership Agreement. This Agreement, including the exhibits, annexes and schedules hereto, the Separation Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Newmark Separation Agreement and the Newmark Ancillary Agreements and any other

thereof.

State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

 Section 11.15. Opportunity;

 -38- 








 (a) None of any Holdings Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company or any Newmark
Company or any of their respective Representatives shall, in its capacity as a holder of Interests or Affiliate of the Partnership, owe or be liable for breach of any fiduciary duty to the Partnership or any holders of Interests. In taking any
action, making any decision or exercising any discretion with respect to the Partnership, each Holdings Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Company and their respective Representatives shall, in its capacity as a holder of
Interests or Affiliate of the Partnership, be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests and those of its Representatives, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to the
interests of or factors affecting the Partnership, the holders of Interests or any other Person. Each Holdings Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Company and their respective Representatives shall have no duty or obligation to
abstain from participating in any vote or other action of the Partnership , or any board, committee or similar body of any of the foregoing. None of any Holdings Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company or any Newmark Company or any of
their respective Representatives shall violate a duty or obligation to the Partnership or the holders of Interests merely because such Person’s conduct furthers such Person’s own interest. Any Holdings Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor
Company, Newmark Company or any of their respective Representatives may lend money to, and transact other business with, the Partnership and its Representatives. The rights and obligations of any such Person who lends money to, contracts with,
borrows from or transacts business with the Partnership or any of its Representatives are the same as those of a Person who is not involved with the Partnership or any of its Representatives, subject to other applicable law. No contract, agreement,
arrangement or transaction between any Holdings Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Company or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and the Partnership or any of its Representatives, on the other hand, shall
be void or voidable solely because any Holdings Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Company or any of their respective Representatives has a direct or indirect interest in such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction, and
any Holdings Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Company or any of their respective Representatives (i) shall have fully satisfied and fulfilled its duties and obligations to the Partnership and the holders
of Interests with respect thereto; and (ii) shall not be liable to the Partnership or the holders of Interests for any breach of any duty or obligation by reason of the entering into, performance or consummation of any such contract, agreement,
arrangement or transaction, if: 
 (1) such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction is approved by the board of
directors of BGC Partners or any committee thereof by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even if the disinterested directors constitute less than a quorum; or 

(2) such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction, judged according to the circumstances at the time of the commitment,
is fair to the Partnership; 
 it being understood that, although each of (1) and (2) above shall be sufficient to show that any Holdings Company, BGC
Partners Company, Cantor Company or Newmark Company or any of their respective Representatives (i) shall have fully satisfied and fulfilled its duties and 

  
 -39- 








 
obligations to the Partnership and the holders of Interests with respect thereto; and (ii) shall not be liable to the Partnership or the holders of Interests for any breach of any duty or
obligation by reason of the entering into, performance or consummation of any such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction, none of (1) or (2) above shall be required to be satisfied for such showing. 

All directors of BGC Partners may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors of BGC Partners or of a committee
thereof that authorizes such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction. 
 Directors of the General Partner who are also directors or officers of any
Holdings Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company or any Newmark Company or any of their respective Representatives shall not owe or be liable for breach of any fiduciary duty to the Partnership or any of holders of Interests for any
action taken by any Holdings Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company or any Newmark Company or their respective Representatives, in their capacity as a holder of Interests or Affiliate of the Partnership. 

Nothing herein contained shall prevent any Holdings Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Company or any of their respective
Representatives from conducting any other business, including serving as an officer, director, employee, or stockholder of any corporation, partnership or limited liability company, a trustee of any trust, an executor or administrator of any estate,
or an administrative official of any other business or not-for-profit entity, or from receiving any compensation in connection therewith. 

(b) None of any Holdings Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Company or any of their respective Representatives shall owe
any duty to refrain from (i) engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as the Partnership and its Representatives or (ii) doing business with any of the Partnership’s or its Representatives’ clients or customers,
in each case regardless of whether such Holdings Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Company or Representative is also a Representative of the Partnership. In the event that any Holdings Company, any BGC Partners Company, any
Cantor Company or any Newmark Company or any of their respective Representatives acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a Corporate Opportunity for any Holdings Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any
Newmark Company or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and the Partnership or any of its Representatives, on the other hand, such BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Company or Representatives, as the case may be,
shall have no duty to communicate or offer such Corporate Opportunity to the Partnership or its Representatives, regardless of whether such Holdings Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Company or Representative is also a
Representative of the Partnership, subject to Section 11.15(c). None of any Holdings Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Company or any of their respective Representatives shall be liable to the
Partnership, the holders of Interests or any of the Partnership’s Representatives for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that any Holdings Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Company or any of
their respective Representatives pursues or acquires such Corporate Opportunity for itself, directs such Corporate Opportunity to another Person or does not present such Corporate Opportunity to the Partnership or any of its Representatives,
regardless of whether such Holdings Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Company or Representative is also a Representative of the Partnership, subject to Section 11.15(c). 

  
 -40- 








 (c) If a third party presents a Corporate Opportunity to a person who is both a Representative of
the Partnership and a Representative of a Holdings Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company and/or Newmark Company, expressly and solely in such Person’s capacity as a Representative of the Partnership, and such Person acts in good faith
in a manner consistent with the policy that such Corporate Opportunity belongs to the Partnership, then such Person (i) shall be deemed to have fully satisfied and fulfilled any fiduciary duty that such Person has to the Partnership as a
Representative of the Partnership with respect to such Corporate Opportunity, (ii) shall not be liable to the Partnership, the holders of Interests or any of the Partnership’s Representatives for breach of fiduciary duty by reason of
such Person’s action or inaction with respect to such Corporate Opportunity, (iii) shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner that such Person reasonably believed to be in, and not opposed to, the Partnership’s best
interests, and (iv) shall be deemed not to have breached such Person’s duty of loyalty to the Partnership and the holders of Interests and not to have derived an improper personal benefit therefrom; provided that any Holdings
Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, and/or any Newmark Company or any of their respective Representatives may pursue such Corporate Opportunity if the Partnership shall decide not to pursue such Corporate Opportunity. If a
Corporate Opportunity is either (1) presented to a Person who is not both a Representative of the Partnership and a Representative of a Holdings Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company and/or Newmark Company, or (2) presented to such
person not expressly and solely in such Person’s capacity as a Representative of the Partnership, then, in each case, such Person shall not be obligated to present such Corporate Opportunity to the Partnership or to act as if such Corporate
Opportunity belongs to the Partnership, and such Person (i) shall be deemed to have fully satisfied and fulfilled any fiduciary duty that such Person has to the Partnership as a Representative of the Partnership with respect to such Corporate
Opportunity, (ii) shall not be liable to the Partnership, any of the holders of Interests or any of the Partnership’s Representatives for breach of fiduciary duty by reason of such Person’s action or inaction with
respect to such Corporate Opportunity, (iii) shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in, and not opposed to, the Partnership’s best interests, and (iv) shall be deemed not to
have breached such Person’s duty of loyalty to the Partnership and the holders of Interests and not to have derived an improper personal benefit therefrom. 

(d) Any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any Interest shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this
Section 11.15. 
 (e) Except to the extent otherwise modified herein, each officer of the Partnership shall have fiduciary duties
identical to those of officers of business corporations organized under the DGCL. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties (including fiduciary duties) of a director, officer or other Person
otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties of such Person. 

  
 -41- 








 (f) Neither the alteration, amendment, termination, expiration or repeal of this
Section 11.15 nor the adoption of any provision of this Agreement inconsistent with this Section 11.15 shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Section 11.15 in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of Action
that, but for this Section 11.15, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, termination, expiration, repeal or adoption. 

Section 11.16. Reimbursement of Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the ongoing operation or management
of the business of the Partnership or its Subsidiaries shall be borne by the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be. 

Section 11.17. Obligations with Respect to Holdings Non-Participating Units. The
Partnership shall indemnify and reimburse Holdings for any payment made by Holdings in respect of any Holdings Non-Participating Unit. BGC Partners shall determine the proportion of any such amount that shall
be paid by the Partnership, on the one hand, and Global Opco, on the other hand. 
 Section 11.18. Effectiveness. The Original
Limited Partnership Agreement was effective for all financial and accounting purposes as of July 22, 2004, thereafter on April 1, 2008, and thereafter on September 1, 2008. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof. 

Section 11.19. Parity of Units. It is the non-binding intention of each of the Partners,
Global Opco and the Partnership that the number of outstanding Units shall at all times equal the number of outstanding Global Opco Units, except with respect to issuances of Holdings Limited Partnership Interests in connection with an acquisition
of another business. Accordingly, in the event of any issuance or repurchase by Global Opco of Global Opco Units other than in connection with an acquisition, it is the non-binding intention of each of the
Partners, Global Opco and the Partnership that there be a parallel issuance or repurchase transaction by the Partnership so that the number of outstanding Units shall at all times equal the number of outstanding Global Opco Units, and the parties to
this Agreement agree to cooperate to effect the intent of this Section 11.19.

 EXHIBIT A 

Certain Tax Related Matters 

Section 1. Definitions Relating to Allocations and Capital Account Maintenance. 

(a) “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” shall mean, with respect to any Partner, the deficit balance, if any, in such
Partner’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant fiscal year, after giving effect to the following adjustments: 
 (i) Credit to
such Capital Account any amounts that such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences in Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), and 
 (ii) Debit to such Capital Account the items described in Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) and 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6). 

The foregoing definition of “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” is intended to comply with the “alternate test of economic
effect” provisions of Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

(b) “Partnership Minimum Gain” shall have the meaning attributed to the term “partnership minimum gain” set forth in
Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-2(b)(2) and 1.704-2(d). 

(c) “Partner Nonrecourse Debt” has the meaning attributed to the term “partner nonrecourse debt” in Treasury
Regulation section 1.704-2(b)(4). 
 (d) “Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum
Gain” shall mean an amount, with respect to each Partner Nonrecourse Debt, equal to the Partnership Minimum Gain that would result if such Partner Nonrecourse Debt were treated as a Nonrecourse Liability, determined in accordance with
Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(i)(3). 
 (e) “Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions” has the meaning attributed to the term “partner nonrecourse deductions” in Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-2(i)(1) and
1.704-2(i)(2). 
 (f) “Nonrecourse Deductions” has the meaning set forth in Treasury
Regulation section 1.704-2(b)(1). 
 (g) “Nonrecourse Liability” has the
meaning set forth in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(b)(3). 
 (h) “Regulatory
Allocations” has the meaning set forth in Section 2(h) of this Exhibit A. 

  
 A-1 








 (i) “Treasury Regulations” shall mean the Income Tax Regulations, including
temporary regulations, promulgated under the Code, as such regulations may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (including corresponding provisions of succeeding regulations). 

Section 2. Special Allocations. 
 The
following special allocations shall be made in the following order, prior to the allocations specified in Section 5.04(a) of this Agreement: 

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation
section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any fiscal year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of
Partnership income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation
section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This provision is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback
requirement in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation
section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any
fiscal year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation section
1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net
decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This provision is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith. 
 (c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments,
allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations,
the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Partner as promptly as possible; provided, that, an allocation pursuant to this provision shall be made only if and to the extent that the Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all
other allocations provided for in this Agreement have been tentatively made as if this provision were not in the Agreement. 

  
 A-2 








 (d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the
end of any fiscal year that is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess, as promptly as possible; provided, that, an allocation pursuant to this provision
shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Agreement have been made as if Section 2(c) and this Section
2(d) of this Exhibit A were not in the Agreement. 
 (e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal
year shall be specially allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. 
 (f) Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are
attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(i)(1). 
 (g)
Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset, pursuant to Section 734(b) of the Code or Section 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury
Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to
a Partner in complete liquidation of such Partner’s Interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain or loss and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in
accordance with their Percentage Interests in the event Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Partner to whom such distribution was made in the event Treasury
Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies. 
 (h) Curative Allocations.
The allocations set forth in Sections 2(a) through 2(h) of this Exhibit A and Section 3 of this Exhibit A (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of
the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss
or deduction. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Tax Matters Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever
manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance (and the amount distributable to each Partner pursuant to Section 6.01 of this Agreement) is, to the extent
possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had (and the amount that would have been distributable to such Partner pursuant to Section 6.01 of this Agreement) if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the
Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Section 5.04(a) of this Agreement. In exercising discretion with respect to such offsetting special allocations, the Tax Matters Partner shall take into account future
Regulatory Allocations under Sections 2(a) and 2(b) of this Exhibit A that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 2(e) and 2(f) of this
Exhibit A. 

  
 A-3 








 Section 3. Limitation on Loss Allocation to Partners Based on Adjusted Capital Accounts. 

Losses allocated pursuant to Section 5.04(a) of this Agreement shall not exceed the maximum amount of losses that can be allocated without
causing any Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year (or increase any existing Adjusted Capital Account Deficit). In the event some but not all of the Partners would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as
a consequence of an allocation of losses pursuant to Section 5.04(a) of this Agreement, the limitation set forth in this Section 3 of this Exhibit A shall be applied on a Partner-by-Partner basis and losses not allocable to any Partner as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Partners in accordance with the positive balances in such Partner’s Capital
Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible losses to each Partner under Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).
