therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (b) complied as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and

its investment in the Purchased Units and the Exchange Shares, as applicable. Dealer is purchasing the Purchased Units for its own account and not with a view to distribution in violation of any securities laws. Dealer has been advised and
understands that (i) neither the Purchased Units nor the Exchange Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or under the “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of
the Securities Act (or if eligible, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act) and (ii) the Purchased Units
may only be transferred in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. 

 3. Representations and
Agreements regarding the 2 Years Earn-Out Shares and the 2 Years Earn-Out Rights. Newmark Group and the Partnership represent, warrant and agree with Dealer
that: 
  

	 	(a)	In the event any 2 Years Earn-Out Shares are delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to Newmark Group or the Partnership, such persons shall disclaim ownership of such 2
Years Earn-Out Shares and such 2 Years Earn-Out Shares shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly delivered over to the Forward Counterparty in the manner
required under the Transfer Notice, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, and that they shall cause their respective subsidiaries, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective affiliates, to comply with
the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the agreement in this Section 3(a) was not performed in accordance with its specific terms
or was otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches
of this provision and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms if this provision. It is agreed that Dealer is entitled to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this provision in any court referred to below,
without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The
parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.


  

	 	(b)	The rights under the Purchase Agreement with respect to Earn-Out Issuances (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of NDAQ Shares in respect of the Measurement Periods (as defined
in the Purchase Agreement) beginning in 2019 and 2020 (the “2 Years Earn-Out Rights”) have been validly assigned to the Forward Counterparty under the Assignment Agreement and all conditions
and requirements to the effectiveness of such assignment have been satisfied (the “2 Years Earn-Out Assignment”). Neither Newmark Group, the Partnership, nor any of their respective
subsidiaries shall disaffirm, disclaim, repudiate or reject, in whole or in part, or challenge the validity of, the 2 Years Earn-Out Assignment or the 2 Years Earn-Out
Rights. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Assignment Agreement and the Forward Confirmation do not and will not conflict with, result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Purchase Agreement, including,
without limitation, Section 3.8 and Section 11.8 thereof and neither Newmark Group, the Partnership, nor any of their respective subsidiaries shall take any action (or fail to take any action) that would cause any such conflict, breach,
violation or default under the Purchase Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	The Forward Counterparty shall not, at any time the Forward Counterparty’s obligations under the Forward Confirmation remain outstanding, (i) transfer, assign, in whole or in part, any of the 2 Years Earn-Out Rights, (ii) disaffirm, disclaim, repudiate or reject, in whole or in part, or challenge the validity of, the 2 Years Earn-Out Assignment or the 2 Years Earn-Out Rights or (iii) make, effect or agree to any amendment, modification, supplement or similar change to the 2 Years Earn-Out Rights or the Transfer Notice, or
termination or suspension of the 2 Years Earn-Out Rights or the Transfer Notice, in each case without Dealer’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned
(it being understood that it shall not be unreasonable for such consent to be withheld with respect to any amendments, modifications or supplements that reduce the number of NDAQ Shares deliverable to the Forward Counterparty or delay or impair such
delivery). 









	 	(d)	The 2 Years Earn-Out Rights constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of NASDAQ, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles. 

  

	 	(e)	(i) The holding period (as determined in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the 2 Years Earn-Out Shares commenced no later than one year prior to the Closing
Date, (ii) there are and will be no Transfer Restrictions (as defined in the Forward Confirmation, it being understood that restricted stock which may, at any time of determination, be immediately sold by the Forward Counterparty at such time
pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) shall not be deemed to be subject to a “Transfer Restriction” hereunder or thereunder) on such 2 Years Earn-Out Shares in the hands of the Forward Counterparty upon
receipt thereof, (iii) neither Newmark Group, the Partnership nor any of their respective subsidiaries (including the Forward Counterparty) shall take any action that would render the Forward Counterparty unable to make the representation in
Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions (as defined in the Forward Confirmation) with respect to each delivery of the 2 Years Earn-Out Shares to Dealer under the Forward Confirmation including, without
limitation, by becoming an “affiliate” of NASDAQ (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and (iv) they shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all 2 Years Earn-Out
Shares delivered to the Forward Counterparty are delivered without restrictive legends and in DTC form, including, if requested by NASDAQ or its transfer agent, by delivery of any necessary representation letters and/or legal opinions.


 4. Agreement of Newmark with respect to NASDAQ and the 2 Years Earn-Out
Rights. 
  

	 	(a)	In the event that NASDAQ does not fulfill its obligations to the Partnership pursuant to the 2 Years Earn-Out Rights and/or comply with the delivery instructions set forth in the
Transfer Notice, Newmark Group and the Partnership shall use good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to comply or to enforce remedies against NASDAQ or cause the Forward Counterparty to enforce remedies against NASDAQ, and pursue
other commercially reasonable remedies that are appropriate under the circumstances in consultation with Dealer; provided further, that Newmark Group, the Partnership and/or Forward Counterparty agree to consult with Dealer, NASDAQ and any
applicable transfer agent to facilitate NASDAQ’s delivery of any 2 Year Earn-Out Shares directly to the Forward Counterparty’s account held with Dealer. 


 

	 	(b)	To the extent the number of the 2 Years Earn-Out Shares issued to the Forward Counterparty has been reduced as a result of the exercise by any Nasdaq Indemnified Parties of their
right pursuant to Section 10.5(f) of the Purchase Agreement to set-off any indemnity claims of such Nasdaq Indemnified Parties against the number of NDAQ Shares that would have been otherwise issued
pursuant to the related Earn-Out Issuance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (any such reduction, the “Indemnity Shortfall”), the Partnership shall, upon request of the Forward
Counterparty or Dealer, deliver to the Forward Counterparty the number of Qualifying NDAQ Shares, as defined below (or their cash equivalent), to cover such Indemnity Shortfall as and when necessary for the Forward Counterparty to timely comply with
its obligations under the Forward Confirmation; provided that, to the extent the Forward Counterparty subsequently receives from NASDAQ the NDAQ Shares representing the Indemnity Shortfall or any portion thereof (whether by virtue of
resolution of the related indemnity dispute or otherwise) (such subsequently issued shares, the “Returned Shares”), then either the Forward Counterparty shall remit such Returned Shares to the Partnership or, in case the Partnership
has not yet delivered the NDAQ Shares (or their cash equivalent) on the account of the Indemnity Shortfall by that time, such Retuned Shares shall be retained by the Forward Counterparty and the Partnership will no longer have the obligation to do
so with respect to such Returned Shares. As used herein, “Qualifying NDAQ Shares” means NDAQ Shares subject to the same or lesser Transfer Restrictions (as defined in the Forward Confirmation, it being understood that restricted
stock which may, at any time of determination, be immediately sold by the Forward Counterparty at such time pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) shall not be deemed to be subject to a “Transfer Restriction” hereunder or thereunder) as the NDAQ
Shares received by the Forward Counterparty under the 2 Years Earn-Out Rights and otherwise fungible with the same. 


5. Agreements Relating to the Forward Counterparty. 
  

	 	(a)	Newmark Group and the Partnership hereby represent and warrant and covenant that they shall not take any action to cause Forward Counterparty (or an affiliate of Forward Counterparty) to (i) commit fraud or
misrepresentation in connection with, or breach any covenant contained in, the Forward 








 Confirmation or the Assignment Agreement, or (ii) (x) file any voluntary petition for
bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement of Forward Counterparty pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, (y) collude in, otherwise cooperate with or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or
trustee of Forward Counterparty or (z) collude in, otherwise cooperate with or consent to the adjudication of Forward Counterparty as bankrupt or insolvent in an involuntary proceeding against Forward Counterparty. 

 

	 	(b)	To the extent the Forward Counterparty has received the NDAQ Shares or other property it is required to deliver under the Forward Confirmation and, for any reason other than regulatory or legal restrictions (such as a
result of the application of bankruptcy or insolvency laws), fails to deliver such NDAQ Shares or property when and as due under the Forward Confirmation, the Partnership shall, upon written request of Dealer, cause the Forward Counterparty to so
deliver, or will itself deliver, such NDAQ Shares and such property. 

  

	 	(c)	The Partnership shall, and Newmark Group shall cause the Partnership to, at all times:

accounting purposes is expressly permitted hereby, and (2) to the extent that the Forward Counterparty’s financial statements are consolidated with those of any affiliates and to the extent that such consolidated separate financials
include as assets the Contingent Earn-Out Rights or related Nasdaq Shares that belong to the Forward Counterparty, cause such consolidated financial statements to include notes or other disclosure that
indicate the separate existence of the Forward Counterparty from its affiliates and its ownership of such assets; 

  

	 	(v)	not pay the liabilities and expenses of the Forward Counterparty other than as contemplated by this Agreement and the other transaction documents; 


 

	 	(vi)	allocate fairly and reasonably any overhead or administrative expenses that are shared with or performed on behalf of Forward Counterparty; 


 

	 	(vii)	maintain an arm’s length relationship with Forward Counterparty and enter into transactions with Forward Counterparty only in the ordinary course of its business and on terms which are intrinsically fair, on a
commercially reasonable basis and (except for capital contributions and disbursements permitted under Forward Counterparty’s limited liability agreement, which shall be accurately reflected in the Forward Counterparty’s books and records
and other transactions permitted by this Agreement, the Forward Confirmation, the Assignment Agreement and the Trilateral Netting Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2018, among Dealer, the Forward Counterparty and the Partnership) on terms no less
favorable than those of an arm’s length transaction; 

  

	 	(viii)	at all times hold itself out to the public and all other persons as a legal entity separate from Forward Counterparty; 

  

	 	(ix)	correct any known material misunderstanding regarding its identity as being separate from that of the Forward Counterparty, of which the officers of the Partnership have been notified in writing; 


 

	 	(x)	maintain its assets in such a manner that it shall not be costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or identify its individual assets from those of Forward Counterparty; and

available to satisfy the obligations of Forward Counterparty or pledge its assets to secure the obligations of Forward Counterparty, it being understood that the Partnership may make contributions to Forward Counterparty (which shall be recorded on
the books and records of the Partnership) for Forward Counterparty to pay any of its federal, state and local taxes and provide finance, legal, tax, treasury, and other administrative services to the Forward Counterparty (subject to allocating any
overhead or administrative expenses as contemplated by the clause (vi) of this Section 5(c).

Agreement shall be a partner of the Partnership until such Person ceases to be a Partner in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 

Section 4.02 Interests. 

(a) Generally. 
 (i)
Classes of Interests. Interests in the Partnership shall be divided into two classes: (A) a General Partnership Interest; and (B) Limited Partnership Interests (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Exchangeable Preferred
Limited Partnership Interests and the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest). The General Partnership Interest and the Limited Partnership Interests shall consist of, and be issued as, Units (including those designated as Exchangeable
Preferred Units), Non-Participating Units and Capital. The General Partner shall determine the aggregate number of authorized Units. Any Units repurchased by or otherwise transferred to the Partnership or
otherwise forfeited or cancelled shall be cancelled and thereafter deemed to be authorized but unissued, and may be subsequently issued as Units for all purposes hereunder in accordance with this Agreement. 

(ii) Issuances of Additional Units. Any authorized but unissued Units may be issued: 

(1) pursuant to the Separation or as otherwise contemplated by the Separation Agreement or this Agreement; 

(2) to members of the Newmark Inc. Group and/or Newmark Holdings Group, as the case may be, in connection with an investment in the
Partnership by the members of the Newmark Inc. Group and/or Newmark Holdings Group, as the case may be, in each case as provided in the Separation Agreement; 

(3) to members of the Newmark Inc. Group and/or members of the BGC Partners Inc. Group, in connection with a redemption pursuant to Article
VIII of the Newmark Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement or Article VIII of the BGC Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement;

 (5) to Newmark or Newmark Holdings in connection with a grant of equity by Newmark or Newmark
Holdings, respectively, pursuant to the Newmark Holdings, L.P. Participation Plan; 
 (6) to any Partner in connection with a conversion of
an issued Unit and Interest into a different class or type of Unit and Interest in accordance with this Agreement; and 
 (7) as determined
by the General Partner in good faith in connection with any “Additional Tranche” (as such term is defined in the Variable Forward Transaction Confirmation) pursuant to the Variable Forward Transaction Confirmation. 

provided that each Person to be issued additional Units pursuant to clause (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) of this
sentence shall, as a condition to such issuance, execute and deliver to the Partnership an agreement in which such Person agrees to be admitted as a Partner with respect to such Units and bound by this Agreement and any other agreements, documents
or instruments specified by the General Partner; provided, however, that if such Person (A) is at the time of such issuance a Partner of the applicable class of Interests being issued or (B) has previously entered into an
agreement pursuant to which such Person shall have agreed to become a Partner and be bound by this Agreement with respect to the applicable class of Interests being issued (which agreement is in effect at the time of such issuance), such Person
shall not be required to enter into any such agreements unless otherwise determined by the General Partner. Upon any such issuance, any such Person not already a Partner shall be admitted as a limited partner with respect to the issued Interests.

 (b) General Partnership Interest. The Partnership shall have one General Partnership Interest. The
Non-Participating Unit issued to the General Partner in respect of such Partner’s General Partnership Interest is set forth on Schedule 4.02. Schedule 4.02 shall be amended pursuant to
Section 1.03 to reflect any change in the number or the issuance or allocation of the Non-Participating Unit in respect of such Partner’s General Partnership Interest in
accordance with this Agreement. 
 (c) Limited Partnership Interests. 

(i) The Partnership shall have one or more Limited Partnership Interests. The number of Units (including those designated as Exchangeable
Preferred Units) or Non-Participating Units (in the case of the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest) issued to each Limited Partner in respect of such Partner’s Limited Partnership Interest is set
forth on Schedule 4.02. Schedule 4.02 shall be amended pursuant to Section 1.03 to reflect any change in the number or the issuance or allocation of the Units or
Non-Participating Units (in the case of the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest) in respect of such Partner’s Limited Partnership Interest in accordance with this Agreement. 

(ii) The Partnership shall have one Limited Partnership Interest designated as the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest, as provided in
Section 4.03(b). There shall only be one Non-Participating Unit associated with the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest. All other Limited Partnership Interests shall be
designated as Limited Partnership Interests. 
 (iii) The Partnership may have one or more Limited Partnership Interests designated as
Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interests. The number of Exchangeable Preferred Units issued in accordance with Section 4.09 to each Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partner in respect of such Partner’s
Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest is set forth on Schedule 4.02. Schedule 4.02 shall be amended pursuant to Section 1.03 to reflect any change in the number or the issuance or allocation of
the Exchangeable Preferred Units in respect of such Partner’s Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest in accordance with this Agreement. 

  
 18 








 (d) No Additional Classes of Interests. There shall be no additional classes of
partnership interests in the Partnership. 
 Section 4.03 Admission and Withdrawal of Partners. 

(a) General Partner. 
 (i)
The General Partner is Newmark Holdings, LLC. On the date of this Agreement, Newmark Holdings, LLC holds the General Partnership Interest, which has the Non-Participating Unit and the Capital set forth on

 (ii) The admission of a Transferee as a General Partner, and resignation or
withdrawal of any General Partner, shall be governed by Section 7.02.

Units (in the case of the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest) and the Capital set forth on Schedule 4.02 and Schedule 5.01, respectively. 

(ii) The admission of a Transferee as a Limited Partner pursuant to any Transfer permitted by Section 7.02(a) or
7.02(b), as applicable, shall be governed by Section 7.02, and the admission of a Person as a Limited Partner in connection with the issuance of additional Units pursuant to
Section 4.02(a)(ii) shall be governed by such applicable Section. 
 (iii) Effective immediately upon the Transfer
of a Limited Partner’s entire Limited Partnership Interest as provided in Section 7.02(a) or 7.02(b), as applicable, such Partner shall cease to have any interest in the profits, losses, assets, properties or
capital of the Partnership with respect to such Limited Partnership Interest and shall cease to be a Limited Partner; provided, however, that with respect to Newmark, the occurrence of the foregoing shall not relieve Newmark of its
obligations under Article IX. 
 (c) No Additional Partners. No additional Partners shall be admitted to the Partnership except
in accordance with this Article IV. 
 Section 4.04 Liability to Third Parties; Capital Account Deficits. 

(a) Except as may otherwise be expressly provided by the Act, the General Partner shall have unlimited personal liability for the satisfaction
and discharge of all debts, liabilities, contracts and other obligations of the Partnership. The General Partner shall not be personally liable for the return of any portion of the capital contribution of any Limited Partner, the return of which
shall be made solely from the Partnership’s assets. 

  
 19 








 (b) Except as may otherwise be expressly provided by the Act or this Agreement, no Limited
Partner shall be liable for the debts, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of the Partnership. Each Limited Partner shall be liable only to make its capital contributions as provided in this Agreement or the Separation Agreement or as
otherwise agreed by such Limited Partner and the Partnership in writing after the date of this Agreement and shall not be required, after its capital contribution shall have been paid, to make any further capital contribution to the Partnership or
to lend any funds to the Partnership except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Separation Agreement or as otherwise agreed by such Limited Partner and the Partnership in writing after the date of this Agreement. No Limited
Partner shall be required to repay the Partnership, any Partner or any creditor of the Partnership any negative balance in such Limited Partner’s Capital Account. 

(c) No Limited Partner shall be liable to make up any deficit in its Capital Account; provided that nothing in this
Section 4.04(c) shall relieve a Partner of any liability it may otherwise have, either pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to the terms of any agreement to which the Partnership or such Partner may be a
party. 
 Section 4.05 Classes. Any Person may own one or more classes of Interests. Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, the ownership of any class of Interests shall not affect the rights or obligations of a Partner with respect to any other class of Interests. As used in this Agreement, the General Partner and the Limited Partners (including the Exchangeable
Preferred Limited Partner and the Special Voting Limited Partner) shall be deemed to be separate Partners even if any Partner holds more than one class of Interest. References to a certain class of Interest with respect to any Partner shall refer
solely to that class of Interest of such Partner and not to any other class of Interest, if any, held by such Partner. 
 Section 4.06
Certificates. The Partnership may, in the discretion of the General Partner, issue any or all Units in certificated form, which certificates shall be held by the Partnership as custodian for the applicable Partners. The form of any such
certificates shall be approved by the General Partner and include the legend required by Section 7.06. If certificates are issued, a transfer of Units will require delivery of an endorsed certificate. 

Section 4.07 Uniform Commercial Code Treatment of Units. Each Unit and Non-Participating
Unit in the Partnership shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, (a) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in
effect from time to time in the State of Delaware (6 Del. C. § 8-101, et. seq.) (the “UCC”), and (b) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction
that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on
February 14, 1995. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any non-waivable provision of Article 8 of the
UCC, such provision of Article 8 of the UCC shall control. The Partnership shall maintain books for the purpose of registering the Transfer of Units and Non-Participating Units. Any Transfer of Units and Non-Participating Units shall be effective as of the registration of the Transfer of such Units and Non-Participating Units in the books and records of the Partnership. 

Section 4.08 Priority Among Partners. No Partner shall be entitled to any priority or preference over any other Partner either as
to return of capital contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions, except to the extent that this Agreement establishes, or may be deemed to establish, such a priority or preference.

 (1)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in addition to all other requirements imposed by Delaware law, and all other voting rights granted under this Agreement, the affirmative vote of holders of the Exchangeable Preferred Required

(A) reduce the amount payable or change the form of payment to the holders of Exchangeable Preferred Units upon the voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, change the Ultimate Liquidation Preference or, make any change to (x) this Section 4.09(b)(ii)(1)(A), the proviso of
Section 5.09, Section 5.10(b), Section 7.03 or Article IX to the extent such change would be adverse to the Exchangeable Preferred Units or (y) any other
provision hereof that relates specifically to the Exchangeable Preferred Units to the extent such change would be disproportionately adverse to the Exchangeable Preferred Units relative to other Units; or 

(B) make the Exchangeable Preferred Units redeemable or exchangeable at the option of the Partnership other than as set forth
herein. 
 (iii) Capital Accounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except for U.S. federal (and applicable state and
local) income tax purposes, including for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts of the partners for purposes of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, the Capital Account of each Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partner as of
a particular date shall equal the aggregate Exchangeable Preferred Preference as of such date with respect to the Exchangeable Preferred Units held by such Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, no items of income, gain,
loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated to the Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partners for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, including for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts of the partners for purposes of
the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

of the Preferred Unitholder under the Variable Forward Transaction Confirmation in connection with a transfer of the Variable Forward Transaction Confirmation; provided that, with respect to clause (1) or (3), no such
transfer shall be permitted if it could reasonably be expected to result in the Partnership becoming subject to the registration under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Act. 

  
 21 








 (v) Fully Paid and Non-Assessable. Any
Exchangeable Preferred Unit(s) delivered pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by
matters described in Sections 17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware Act), free and clear of any Encumbrances other than those
arising under the Act or this Agreement or created by the holders thereof.

U.S. Opco immediately after such distribution reflects the percentage interest of each continuing partner of BGC U.S. Opco, as adjusted, in accordance with the agreement of such partners, to give effect to such distribution, and (B) pursuant to
the Opco Partnership Contribution, the partners of BGC U.S. Opco that received Transferred Assets (or a beneficial interest in or in respect of Transferred Assets) in the Opco Partnership Distribution contributed such Transferred Assets (or
beneficial interest in Transferred Assets), other than the Limited 

  
 22

“assets-up form” of BGC U.S. Opco pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(d)(3)(ii) in which no gain or loss, other than any gain required to be
recognized by any partner of BGC U.S. Opco or BGC Holdings, pursuant to Sections 704(c)(1)(B) or Section 737 of the Code or with respect to any cash received or deemed received (other than the Newmark Opco Debt Repayment), is recognized to any
extent, except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a)(1) of the Code. 

(v) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(b)(i), no capital contributions shall be required (A) unless

 Section 5.03
Maintenance of Capital Accounts. As of the end of each Accounting Period, the balance in each Partner’s Capital Account shall be adjusted by (a) increasing such balance by (i) such Partner’s allocable share of each item of
the Partnership’s income and gain for such Accounting Period (allocated in accordance with Section 5.04(a)) and (ii) the amount of cash or the fair market value of other property (determined in accordance with
Section 5.05) contributed to the Partnership by such Partner in respect of such Partner’s related Interest during such Accounting Period, net of liabilities assumed by the Partnership with respect to such other
property, and (b) decreasing such balance by (i) the amount of cash or the fair market value of other property (determined in accordance with Section 5.05) distributed to such Partner in respect of such class of
Interest associated with such Capital Account pursuant to this Agreement, net of liabilities (if any) assumed by such Partner with respect to such other property, and (ii) such Partner’s allocable share of each item of the
Partnership’s deduction and loss for such Accounting Period (allocated in accordance with Section 5.04(a)). The balances in each Partner’s Capital Account shall be adjusted at the time and in the manner permitted

comply with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith. 

Section 5.04 Allocations and Tax Matters. 

(a) Book Allocations. After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit A
hereto, Section 5.04(c) and Section 5.04(d), for purposes of computing Capital Accounts and allocating any items of income, gain, loss or deduction thereto, with respect to each Accounting Period,
all remaining items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Partnership (calculated in the manner contemplated by the capital accounting rules of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, and regardless of whether
the Partnership has net income) shall be allocated among 

  
 23 








 
the Capital Accounts of the Interests in proportion to their Percentage Interest as of the end of such Accounting Period; provided, however, that upon any Closing of the Books Event
(other than an event described in clause (a) of such definition), the value of 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).
Notwithstanding the above, the General Partner shall be permitted to maintain the Capital Accounts in such a way as is necessary to comply with the intent of Section 4.09(b)(iii) and
Section 5.10(b). 
 (b) Tax Allocations. Except as otherwise required under Section 704(c) of the Code
and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or Section 4.09(b)(iii), 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 proviso of Section 5.04(a), 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) Separation Allocations. Any allocations with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement and/or the
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 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 Newmark Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement or Article VIII of the BGC Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement in connection with a redemption of an Exchange Right Interest (as defined in the Newmark
Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement) and related Exchange Right Units (as defined in the Newmark 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 Separation Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. 
 (d) No Partnership-Owned SAE shall
receive any allocation of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit attributable to the Partnership’s ownership of stock of such SAE Subsidiary (such items, the “SAE Items”), and such SAE Items shall instead be
specially allocated to the other Partnership-Owned SAEs in such manner as the General Partner may determine in order to preserve relative economics. 

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 

  
 24 








 
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 (subject to compliance with the terms of the Separation Agreement). 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 (subject to compliance with the terms of the Separation Agreement). 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. 

  
 25 








 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; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to any Exchangeable
Preferred Limited Partner unless otherwise determined by a determination (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code and any other similar law). 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 and including any tax on any amount paid to an Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partner), then such Partner shall indemnify the Partnership and the other
Partners in full for the entire amount of any tax (including any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payment). 

Section 5.10 Tax Treatment. 

(a) The SAE Subsidiaries shall be partners of the Partnership for tax purposes, including for all purposes under the Code, and shall therefore
be treated as Limited Partners for purposes of Article V and Exhibit A, and have Capital Accounts and Interests as set forth in the Schedules to this Agreement. To this end, items of income, gain, loss or deduction recognized by the
Partnership shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the SAE Subsidiaries in accordance with their Interests as set forth in the Schedules to this Agreement. 

(b) The Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partners shall not be partners of the Partnership for tax purposes, including for all purposes under the
Code, and the issuance of the Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interests are part of a series of transactions that shall be treated as a variable forward agreements for tax purposes, including for all purposes under the Code. To this end,
no item of income, gain, loss or deduction recognized by the Partnership shall be allocated to the Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partners or the Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interests. The Partnership shall be entitled to withhold any
tax required by law (if any) in accordance with the tax treatment set forth in this Section 5.10(b) and the Variable Forward Transaction Confirmation (as if the Partnership were a party to such confirmation). 

(c) The Partners and the Partnership shall prepare and file all applicable tax returns in a manner that is consistent with the foregoing. 

ARTICLE VI 

DISTRIBUTIONS 

Section 6.01 Distributions in Respect of Partnership Interests. Subject to the remaining sentence of this

TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS 

Section 7.01 Transfers Generally Prohibited. No Partner may Transfer or agree or otherwise commit to Transfer all or any portion
of, or any of rights, title and interest in and to, its Interest, except as permitted by the terms and conditions set forth in this Article VII. The Schedules shall be revised pursuant to Section 1.03 from time to
time to reflect any change in the Partners or Interests to reflect any Transfer permitted by this Article VII. 
 Section 7.02
Permitted Transfers. 
 (a) Limited Partnership Interests. No Limited Partner (other than the Special Voting Limited Partner,
which shall be governed by Section 7.02(b)) may Transfer or agree or otherwise commit to Transfer all or any portion of, or any right, title and interest in and to, its Limited Partnership Interest (other than the Special
Voting Limited Partner, which shall be governed by Section 7.02(b)), except any such Transfer (i) pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(ii) or the Separation; (ii) if such Limited Partner shall be
a member of the Newmark Inc. Group or the Newmark Holdings Group (the “Group Transferor”), to any member of the Newmark Inc. Group or the Newmark Holdings Group (the “Group Transferee”), including in connection with
the exchange of Newmark Holdings Units for Newmark Common Stock pursuant to the Newmark Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement or the BGC Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement; (iii) in accordance with
Section 4.09(b)(iv); or (iv) for which the General Partner and the Limited Partners (with such consent to require the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest) 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 (i) to a wholly owned Subsidiary of Newmark Holdings; provided that, in the event that
such transferee shall cease to be a wholly owned Subsidiary of Newmark Holdings, the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest shall automatically be Transferred to Newmark Holdings, without the requirement of any further action on the part of the
Partnership, Newmark Holdings or any other Person; or (ii) in connection with the Separation. Upon removal of any Special Voting Limited Partner, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest

may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Special Voting Limited Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, and the 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.

otherwise satisfied the requirements of Section 7.02 shall become a Partner, and shall be listed as a “Limited Partner,” “Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partner,” “Special Voting Limited
Partner” or “General Partner” as applicable, on Schedule 4.01, and shall be deemed to receive the Interest being Transferred, in each case only at such time as such Transferee executes and delivers to the Partnership an
agreement in which 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 in connection with the Separation or in connection with settlement of the Variable Forward
Transaction Confirmation shall not be subject to any conditions or requirements and shall not require the execution or delivery of any agreements or other documentation hereunder other than, in the case of a settlement of the Variable Forward
Transaction Confirmation, a notice from the Preferred Unitholder substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. 
 Section 7.04
Transfer of Units, Non-Participating Units and Capital with the Transfer of an Interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to Article VIII of the Newmark Holdings Limited
Partnership Agreement and Article VIII of the BGC Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement, each 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.

evidence its Interests shall have inscribed conspicuously on its front or back the following legend: 
 THE PARTNERSHIP INTEREST IN NEWMARK PARTNERS, L.P.
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (INCLUDING ASSOCIATED UNITS AND CAPITAL) HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE OR FOREIGN JURISDICTION, AND THIS PARTNERSHIP INTEREST MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, EXCEPT (A) EITHER (1) WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE

Section 7.07 Effect of Transfer Not in Compliance with this Article. Any purported Transfer of all or any part of a Partner’s
Interest, or any interest therein, that is not in compliance with this Article VII, or that would cause the Partnership to be a “publicly traded partnership” (within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code), shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, be void ab initio and shall be of no effect. 
 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 Newmark Holdings of any Founding Partner Interest pursuant to
Section 12.03 or 12.04 of the Newmark Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement, Newmark Holdings shall cause the Partnership to redeem and purchase from Newmark Holdings a number of Units (and the associated Capital) equal to (A) the number
of Newmark Holdings Units underlying the redeemed or purchased Founding Partner Interest, multiplied by (B) the Newmark Holdings Ratio as of immediately prior to the redemption or purchase of such Founding Partner Interest. The aggregate
purchase price that the Partnership shall pay to Newmark 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 multiplied by
(z) the Exchange Ratio; provided that, upon mutual agreement of the general partner of Newmark Holdings and the General Partner, the Partnership 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. 
 (b) Working Partner Interests. Upon any redemption or purchase by Newmark Holdings of any
Working Partner Interest pursuant to Section 12.03 or 12.04 of the Newmark Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement, Newmark Holdings shall cause the Partnership to redeem and purchase 

  
 29 








 
from Newmark Holdings a number Units (and the associated Capital) equal to (A) the number of Newmark Holdings Units underlying the redeemed or purchased Working Partner Interest,
multiplied by (B) the Newmark Holdings Ratio as of immediately prior to the redemption or purchase of such Working Partner Interest. The aggregate purchase price that the Partnership shall pay to Newmark Holdings in such redemption shall
be an amount of cash equal to the amount required by Newmark Holdings to redeem or purchase such Working Partner Interest; provided that, upon mutual agreement of the general partner of Newmark Holdings and the General Partner, the
Partnership 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. 
 (c) REU
Interests. Upon any redemption or purchase by Newmark Holdings of any REU Interest pursuant to Section 12.03 or 12.04 of the Newmark Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement, Newmark Holdings shall cause the Partnership to redeem and purchase

prior to the redemption or purchase of such REU Interest. The aggregate purchase price that the Partnership shall pay to Newmark Holdings in such redemption shall be an amount of cash equal to the amount required by Newmark Holdings to redeem or
purchase such REU Interest (including the REU Post-Termination Payment (as defined in the Newmark Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement), if any); provided that, upon mutual agreement of the general partner of Newmark Holdings and the
General Partner, the Partnership 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. 

Section 8.02 Optional Redemption of Units in Connection with a Repurchase of Newmark Common Stock. At the election of Newmark, in
connection with a repurchase by Newmark of its Class A Common Stock or a similar action, the Partnership, directly or indirectly through its Subsidiaries, shall redeem and purchase from Newmark a number of Units (and the associated Capital)
equal to (a) the number of shares of Newmark Common Stock repurchased or expected to be repurchased multiplied by (b) the Newmark Ratio as of immediately prior to the such repurchase or expected repurchase or similar action. The
aggregate purchase price that the Partnership shall pay to Newmark in such redemption shall be an amount of cash equal to the gross amount paid or expected to be paid by Newmark to repurchase its stock or take similar action, including any
commissions paid. 
 ARTICLE IX 

EXCHANGE RIGHTS 

Section 9.01 Exchange Rights of Exchangeable Preferred Units. 

(a) During an Exchangeable Preferred Period with respect to a series of Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest, such series of
Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest shall be exchangeable, in whole but not in part, (i) at the option of the Limited Partners holding the Preferred Required Voting Percentage with respect to such series (a “Limited
Partner Optional Preferred Exchange”), or (ii) at the option of the Partnership (a “Partnership Optional Preferred Exchange”), in the case of each of (i) and (ii), through exchange by the Partnership for shares of
Newmark Class A Common Stock, on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Article IX (an “Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange”). 

  
 30 








 (b) In an Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange, the entire Exchangeable Preferred Limited
Partnership Interest that shall be exchangeable shall be exchangeable during the applicable Exchangeable Preferred Period for: (i) if the Business Revenue applicable to such Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest is equal to or
greater than the Target Revenue, a number of shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock equal to the Ultimate Liquidation Preference of such Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest divided by $14.78; and (ii) if the
Business Revenue applicable to such Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest is less than the Target Revenue, a number of shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock equal to the Newmark Common Stock Amount applicable to such Exchangeable
Preferred Limited Partnership Interest. Upon an Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange, Newmark agrees to issue to the Partnership a number of shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock determined in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence. As payment for such shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, (A) on the date of issuance of such shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock, the Partnership shall pay to
Newmark an aggregate amount of cash equal to the aggregate par value of such shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock and (B) on the “Modified Physical Settlement Payment Date” (as such term is defined in the Variable Forward
Transaction Confirmation), the Partnership shall pay to Newmark an aggregate amount of cash equal to (x) the “Settlement Value” payable by the holder of such Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest to the
“Counterparty” upon a “Modified Physical Settlement” (as such terms are defined in the Variable Forward Transaction Confirmation) minus (y) the aggregate amount of cash paid by the Partnership to Newmark pursuant to
clause (A) above. Unless otherwise determined by the board of directors of Newmark, Newmark shall, immediately following the receipt of the aggregate amount of cash described in clause (A) and clause (B) above, contribute such
aggregate amount of cash to the Partnership in exchange for a Limited Partnership Interest consisting of a number of Units equal to (x) the number of shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to this
Section 9.01(b) in respect of the exchange of such Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio as of immediately prior to the issuance of such shares of Newmark
Class A Common Stock. 
 (c) A holder of Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest is not entitled to any rights of a holder
of shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock with respect to such Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest unless and until such Interest shall have been exchanged therefor in accordance with this Article IX. 

(d) Reserved. 
 (e)
Exchange Notice. 
 (i) Limited Partner Optional Preferred Exchange. To exercise the Exchangeable Preferred Exchange Right
during an Exchangeable Preferred Period in a Limited Partner Optional Preferred Exchange, holders of Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interests who elect to exercise their Exchangeable Preferred Exchange Right pursuant to
Section 9.01(a)(i) (the “Electing Partners”) shall prepare and deliver to Newmark and the Partnership a written request signed by each such Electing Partner (1) stating which of the Series A
Exchangeable Preferred Units or the Series B Exchangeable Preferred Units, as applicable, together with the Series A Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest and the Series B Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest, as
applicable, that such Electing Partner desires to exchange, (2) stating the Requested Preferred Exchange Effective Date and (3) representing, warranting and certifying to each of Newmark and the Partnership that, as of the date of such
notice and as of the Requested Preferred Exchange Effective Date, such Electing Partner is the sole record and beneficial owner of such Exchangeable Preferred Units, free and clear of all Encumbrances other than those created by this Agreement (each
such request, a “Limited Partner Preferred Exchange Request”). 

  
 31 








 (ii) Partnership Optional Preferred Exchange. To exercise the Exchangeable Preferred
Exchange Right during an Exchangeable Preferred Period in a Partnership Optional Preferred Exchange pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(ii), the Partnership shall prepare and deliver to Newmark and the Preferred Unitholder a
written request signed by an authorized officer of the Partnership (1) stating which of the Series A Exchangeable Preferred Units or the Series B Exchangeable Preferred Units, as applicable, together with the Series A Exchangeable Preferred
Limited Partnership Interest and the Series B Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest, as applicable, that the Partnership desires the Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partner to exchange and (2) stating the Requested Preferred
Exchange Effective Date (each such request, a “Partnership Preferred Exchange Request” and together with a Limited Partner Preferred Exchange Request, a “Preferred Exchange Request”). 

(iii) The General Partner shall effectuate an Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange on or after the Requested Preferred Exchange Effective
Date, but in any event within five Business Days from the Requested Preferred Exchange Effective Date, subject to the provisos contained in the definition of “Requested Preferred Exchange Effective Date” (such date of an Exchangeable
Preferred Newmark Exchange, the “Preferred Exchange Effective Date”). Each of Newmark and the General Partner shall have the right to determine whether any Preferred Exchange Request is proper or to waive any impropriety, or any
requirement, of these procedures. Once delivered, a Preferred Exchange Request shall be irrevocable. 
 (f) Each Exchangeable Preferred
Newmark Exchange shall be consummated effective as of the close of Newmark’s business on the applicable Preferred Exchange Effective Date (such time, the “Preferred Exchange Effective Time”), and the Electing Partner shall be
deemed to have become the holder of record of the applicable number of shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock at such Preferred Exchange Effective Time, and all rights of the Electing Partner in respect of the portion of the Exchangeable
Preferred Units so exchanged shall terminate at such Preferred Exchange Effective Time. 
 Section 9.02 No Fractional Shares of
Newmark Class A Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Partnership will not transfer any fractional shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock in any Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange. In
lieu thereof, in each Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange, the Partnership will provide cash representing such fractional share. 

Section 9.03 Taxes in Respect of a Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange. In any Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange for
shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock, Newmark shall pay any documentary, stamp, or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of the Newmark Class A Common Stock and upon the transfer of such Newmark Class A Common Stock in such
Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation. 

Section 9.04 Reservation of Newmark Common Stock. Newmark covenants and agrees that it shall from time to time as may be necessary
reserve, out of its authorized but unissued Newmark Class A Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock to effect the exchange of all then outstanding Exchangeable Preferred Units for shares of Newmark
Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange. Newmark covenants and agrees that all shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock issued in connection with an Exchangeable Preferred 

  
 32 








 
Newmark Exchange will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will be free from preemptive rights and free of any Encumbrances. Newmark covenants and agrees that all
shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock issued in connection with an Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange will be Publicly Traded Shares. 

Section 9.05 Compliance with Applicable Laws in the Exchange. Newmark shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly comply
with all federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock upon each Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange and to list or cause to be have quoted such shares of Newmark Class A
Common Stock on each national securities exchange, Nasdaq Global Select Market, over-the-counter market or other market on which the Newmark Class A Common Stock
may then be listed or quoted (if any); provided, however, that if rules of such exchange or market permit Newmark to defer the listing of such Newmark Class A Common Stock until the first Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange,
Newmark shall use its reasonable best efforts to list such Newmark Class A Common Stock in accordance with such rules at such time. 

Section 9.06 Adjustments. If, after the date hereof, the outstanding Newmark Class A Common Stock shall have been changed by
reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, split-up, combination or exchange of stock, or a dividend payable in securities of Newmark shall be declared with a record date within such
period, or any similar event shall have occurred, the calculation set forth in Section 9.01(c) and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be adjusted to provide the holder of an Exchangeable
Preferred Limited Partnership Interest with the same economic rights as was contemplated by this Agreement, the Parent Agreement and the Variable Forward Transaction Confirmation prior to such event. 

Section 9.07 Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall a holder of an Exchangeable
Preferred Limited Partnership Interest be entitled to receive, or shall be deemed to receive, any shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock upon any Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange if, immediately upon giving effect to such receipt of such
shares, an Excess Ownership Position would exist. If any delivery owed to such holder hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, the Partnership’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished
and the Partnership shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than three Business Days after, such holder gives notice to the General Partner that such delivery would not result in the existence of an Excess
Ownership Position. As used herein, “Excess Ownership Position” means with respect to a holder of an Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest, at any time, that (1) such holder beneficially owns more than 4.5%
of the total shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock outstanding for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act or 1934, as amended (including by virtue of being part of a group or other aggregation with another person), or
(2) under any other applicable law, rule, regulation or regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Newmark applicable to ownership of shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock, such holder is deemed to own (including
constructive ownership, however defined) a percentage of total number of shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock outstanding exceeding, or within 1% of exceeding, the threshold that would give rise to any obligation of, or restriction or other
adverse effect on, such holder or any Affiliate thereof. As of the date hereof, it is not expected that the receipt by the holder of an Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest of the shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock upon an
Exchangeable Preferred Newmark Exchange would cause the holder of the Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interest to be in an Excess Ownership Position (but no assurance is given that such holder will not be in an Excess Ownership Position
in the future).

until cancellation of the Certificate of Limited Partnership as provided in the Act. 
 Section 10.04 Reconstitution. Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall impair, restrict or limit the rights and powers of the Partners under the laws of the State of Delaware and any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership is doing business to reform and reconstitute themselves as

section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c). 
 ARTICLE XI 

INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION 

Section 11.01 Exculpation. Neither a General Partner nor any Affiliate or director or officer of a General Partner or any such
Affiliate shall be personally liable to the Partnership or the Limited Partners for a breach of this Agreement or any fiduciary duty as a General Partner or as an Affiliate or director or officer of a General Partner or any such Affiliate, except to
the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the Act as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any repeal or modification of the immediately preceding sentence shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of such Person existing hereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or modification. A General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers
and other consultants and advisors selected by it and the opinion of any such Person as to matters which the General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by the General Partner in good faith and in accordance with such opinion. A General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform
any of the obligations imposed on it hereunder either directly or by or through one or more agents, and the General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by the General Partner with
due care. 
 Section 11.02 Indemnification. 

(a) Each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a Person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a or has agreed to become a General Partner,
or any director or officer of the General Partner or of the Partnership, or is or was serving at the request of the Partnership as a 

  
 35 








 
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other 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 11.02(c), the Partnership shall indemnify any such Person seeking 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 11.02 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 11.02 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 11.02, 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 11.02(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 Newmark 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 Newmark 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 Newmark, 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 that 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 Newmark 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 Newmark Group, Inc. 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 Newmark. 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. 

  
 36 








 (c) If a claim under Section 11.02(a) is not paid in full by the
Partnership within thirty (30) days after a written claim pursuant to Section 11.02(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 Section 11.02, if any, has been tendered to the Partnership) that the claimant has not met the 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 Newmark, 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 Newmark, 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 11.02(b) that the claimant is entitled to
indemnification, the Partnership shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 11.02(c). 

(e) The Partnership shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to
Section 11.02(c) that the procedures and presumptions of this Section 11.02 are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the Partnership is bound by all the
provisions of this Section 11.02. 
 (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 11.02 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 11.02 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 11.02 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 11.02 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 11.02 (including each portion of this Section 11.02 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 11.02 (including each such portion of this Section 11.02 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.

 (i) For purposes of this Article XI: 

(i) “Disinterested Director” means a director of Newmark 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 11.02. 
 (j)
Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the Partnership under this Section 11.02 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 11.03 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 11.02 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 11.04 Subrogation. In the event of payment of
indemnification to a Person described in Section 11.02, 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 11.05 No Duplication of Payments. The Partnership shall not be liable under
this Article XI to make any payment in connection with any claim made against a Person described in Section 11.02 to the extent such Person has otherwise received payment (under any insurance policy or otherwise) of
the amounts otherwise payable as indemnity hereunder. 
 Section 11.06 Survival. This Article X shall survive any
termination of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE XII 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 12.01 Amendments. Except as provided in Section 1.03 with respect to this Agreement, 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 

  
 38 








 
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 (other than Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interests, which shall be governed by
Section 4.09(b)(ii)) 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
(other than Exchangeable Preferred 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 (other than Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interests, which shall be governed by Section 4.09(b)(ii)) in the case of any other amendment; (iii) amend this Agreement in a manner that violates the terms set forth
in Section 4.09(b)(ii) or (iv) 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,
(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 or (3) any
amendment as determined by the General Partner in good faith to give effect to the issuance of additional Limited Partnership Interests after the date hereof that are designated as Exchangeable Preferred Limited Partnership Interests pursuant to
Section 4.02(a)(ii)(7). 
 Section 12.02 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 XI 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 12.03 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 12.04 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 

  
 39 








 
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 12.07 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. 

Section 12.05 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 12.06 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, the Newmark Group and the Preferred Unitholder) 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 (the “Confidential Information”) 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 12.04 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 12.06(a) by such Partner, and that in addition to all other remedies, 

  
 40 








 
the Partnership shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or cure breaches of this Section 12.06(a) and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions of this Section 12.06(a), 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. 
 The Preferred Unitholder acknowledges and agrees
that it shall not be entitled to receive Confidential Information hereunder. In the event the Preferred Unitholder voluntarily receives Confidential Information, and such Confidential Information is not otherwise subject to the confidentiality
provision set forth in the Parent Agreement, the Preferred Unitholder shall, if requested by the Partnership, enter into a customary non-disclosure agreement at such time. 

Section 12.07 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 12.07 by giving at least five (5) days’ prior written notice
of such changed address to the Partnership. 
 Section 12.08 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. 
 Section 12.09 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 12.10 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.

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
Agreement unless otherwise stated. 
 Section 12.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the
2017 Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, as such agreement had been amended. This Agreement, including the exhibits, annexes and schedules hereto, the Separation Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and any other instruments and agreements
referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. 

Section 12.13 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of law principles. 
 Section 12.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement. 
 Section 12.15 Opportunity; Fiduciary
Duty. To the greatest extent permitted by law and except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, but notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity: 

(a) None of any Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company or any Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any
Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any Preferred
Unitholder Permitted Transferee 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor
Company, Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee 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 Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company or any Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any Preferred Unitholder Permitted
Transferee 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 Newmark Company, BGC
Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred
Unitholder, a Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee 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 Newmark Company,
BGC Partners 

  
 42 








 
Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee or any of their respective Representatives has a direct or indirect
interest in such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction, and any Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee 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 Newmark 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company or Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any Preferred Unitholder Permitted
Transferee 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, none of (1) or (2) above shall be required
to be satisfied for such showing. 
 All directors of Newmark may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors
of Newmark 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 Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company or any Newmark Holdings 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 Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company or any Newmark Holdings Company or their respective Representatives, in their capacity as a holder of Interests or Affiliate of the
Partnership. 
 Nothing herein contained shall prevent any Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Holdings Company, the
Preferred Unitholder, or any Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor
Company, any Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners
Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings 

  
 43 








 
Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee or Representative is also a Representative of the Partnership. In the event that any Newmark Company, any BGC
Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee or any of their respective Representatives acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that
may be a Corporate Opportunity for any Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee or any of their respective
Representatives, on the one hand, and the Partnership or any of its Representatives, on the other hand, such Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or Preferred Unitholder Permitted
Transferee 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company,
Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee or Representative is also a Representative of the Partnership, subject to Section 12.15(c). None of any Newmark Company, any
BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee 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 Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any
Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder, or any Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee or Representative
is also a Representative of the Partnership, subject to Section 12.15(c). 
 (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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder and/or Preferred Unitholder
Permitted Transferee, 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 Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, and/or any Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred
Unitholder, or any Preferred Unitholder Permitted Transferee 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings Company, the Preferred Unitholder and/or Preferred Unitholder

 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. 
 (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: 

  
 Exhibit A - 1 








 (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. 
 (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). 

  
 Exhibit A - 2 








 (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 Section 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
Section 2(a) and 2(b) of this Exhibit A that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 2(e) and 2(f) of this
Exhibit A. 
 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).
