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

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

 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

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 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

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.

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

 -17- 

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

contemplated by the Newmark Separation Agreement and/or the Newmark Ancillary Agreements shall be made in a manner consistent therewith and, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, (x) any item of loss or deduction in respect
of any indemnification payment or obligation of the Partnership in respect of any loss attributable to a Partner shall be allocated to such Partner (or otherwise charged to the Capital Account of such Partner) and (y) any item of income or gain
in respect of any indemnification payment accrued or received by the Partnership in respect of any loss incurred by a Partner shall be allocated to such Partner (or otherwise credited to the Capital Account of such Partner). In the event that any
item of income, gain, loss or deduction is specially allocated to the Capital Account of a Partner pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the General Partner may make such other adjustments in respect of the Capital Accounts of the Partners
(including in connection with any transfer of Limited Partnership Interests pursuant to Article VIII of the Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement in connection with a redemption of an Exchange Right Interest (as defined in the Holdings Limited
Partnership Agreement) and related Exchange Right Units (as defined in the Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement)) as may be necessary or appropriate (as determined by the General Partner) to carry out the intent of this Section 5.04(c), the
Newmark Separation Agreement and the Newmark Ancillary Agreements. 
 Section 5.05. General Partner Determinations. All
determinations, valuations and other matters of judgment required to be made for purposes of this Article V, including with respect to allocations to Capital Accounts and accounting procedures and tax matters not expressly provided for by the
terms of this Agreement, or for determining the value of any type or form of proceeds, contribution or distributions hereunder shall be made by the General Partner in good faith. In the event that an additional Partner is admitted to the Partnership
and contributes property to the Partnership, or an existing Partner contributes additional property to the Partnership, pursuant to this Agreement, the value of such contributed property shall be the fair market value of such property as reasonably
determined by the General Partner. 
 Section 5.06. Books and Accounts. 

(a) The Partnership shall at all times keep or cause to be kept true and complete records and books of account, which records and books shall
be maintained in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such records and books of account shall be kept at the principal place of business of the Partnership by the General Partner. The Limited Partners shall have the right

reputation to be appointed from time to time by the General Partner. The Partnership’s auditors shall be entitled to receive promptly such information, accounts and explanations from the General Partner and each Partner that they deem
reasonably necessary to carry out their duties. The Partners shall provide such financial, tax and other information to the Partnership as may be reasonably necessary and appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Partnership. 

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

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

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

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

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

 -21- 

 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); (ii) if such Limited Partner shall be a member of the BGC Partners Group or the Holdings Group, to any member of the BGC Partners Group or the
Holdings Group, including in connection with the exchange of Holdings Units for BGC Partners Common Stock pursuant to the Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement; or (iii) 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 to a wholly owned Subsidiary of Holdings; provided that, in the event that such
transferee shall cease to be a wholly owned Subsidiary of Holdings, the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest shall automatically be Transferred to Holdings, without the requirement of any further action on the part of the Partnership,
Holdings or any other Person. Upon removal of any Special Voting Limited Partner, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest shall be transferred to the Person being admitted as the new Special
Voting Limited Partner, simultaneously with admission and without the requirement of any action on the part of the Special Voting Limited Partner being removed or any other Person. 

(c) General Partnership Interest. The General Partner may not Transfer or agree or otherwise commit to Transfer all or any portion of,

withheld or delayed) of the Special Voting Limited Partner , to any other Person. Any General Partner 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 

  
 -22- 

 
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. 

Section 7.03. Admission as a Partner upon Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, a Transferee who
has otherwise satisfied the requirements of Section 7.02 shall become a Partner, and shall be listed as a “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. 

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 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. 

Section 7.06. Legend. Each Partner agrees that any certificate issued to it to evidence its Interests shall have inscribed
conspicuously on its front or back the following legend: 
 THE PARTNERSHIP INTEREST IN BGC PARTNERS GLOBAL HOLDINGS, 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 SECURITIES
ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE REGISTRATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS ARE IN EFFECT OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (INCLUDING, IF 

  
 -23- 

 
APPLICABLE, REGULATION S THEREUNDER) AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS AND (B) IF PERMITTED BY THE AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF BGC PARTNERS GLOBAL HOLDINGS, L.P., AS IT MAY BE AMENDED
FROM TIME TO TIME, WHICH CONTAINS STRICT PROHIBITIONS ON TRANSFERS, SALES, ASSIGNMENTS, PLEDGES, HYPOTHECATIONS, ENCUMBRANCES OR OTHER DISPOSITIONS OF THIS PARTNERSHIP INTEREST OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN (INCLUDING ASSOCIATED UNITS AND CAPITAL). 

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 Holdings of any Founding Partner Interest pursuant to Section 12.03 or 12.04 of the Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement, Holdings shall cause U.S. Opco and the Partnership to redeem and
purchase from Holdings a number of U.S. Opco Units (and the associated U.S. Opco Capital) and cause the Partnership to redeem and purchase from Holdings a number of Units (and the associated Capital), in each case, equal to (A) the number of
Units underlying the redeemed or purchased Founding Partner Interest, multiplied by (B) the Holdings Ratio as of immediately prior to the redemption or purchase of such Founding Partner Interest. The aggregate purchase price that the Opcos
shall pay to Holdings in such redemption shall be an amount of cash equal to (x) the number of U.S. Opco Units so redeemed multiplied by (y) the Current Market Price; provided that, upon mutual agreement of the general
partner of Holdings, the general partner of U.S. Opco and the General Partner, U.S. Opco and 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. BGC Partners shall determine the proportion of such amount that shall be paid by U.S. Opco, on the one hand,
and the Partnership, on the other hand (which determination shall be based on BGC Partners’ good-faith judgment as to the proportion of the total fair value of the Opcos represented by U.S. Opco and the Partnership, respectively, as of such
date). 

  
 -24- 

 (b) Working Partner Interests. Upon any redemption or purchase by Holdings of any Working
Partner Interest pursuant to Section 12.03 or 12.04 of the Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement, Holdings shall cause U.S. Opco and the Partnership to redeem and purchase from Holdings a number of U.S. Opco Units (and the associated U.S. Opco
Capital) and cause the Partnership to redeem and purchase from Holdings a number of Units (and the associated Capital), in each case, equal to (A) the number of Units underlying the redeemed or purchased Working Partner Interest, multiplied
by (B) the Holdings Ratio as of immediately prior to the redemption or purchase of such Working Partner Interest. The aggregate purchase price that the Opcos shall pay to Holdings in such redemption shall be an amount of cash equal to the
amount required by Holdings to redeem or purchase such Working Partner Interest; provided that, upon mutual agreement of the general partner of Holdings, the general partner of U.S. Opco and the General Partner, U.S. Opco and 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. BGC Partners shall determine the proportion of such amount that shall be paid by U.S. Opco, on the one hand, and the Partnership, on the other hand (which determination shall be based on BGC Partners’ good-faith
judgment as to the proportion of the total fair value of the Opcos represented by U.S. Opco and the Partnership, respectively, as of such date). 

(c) REU Interests. Upon any redemption or purchase by Holdings of any REU Interest pursuant to Section 12.03 or 12.04 of the
Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement, Holdings shall cause U.S. Opco and the Partnership to redeem and purchase from Holdings a number of U.S. Opco Units (and the associated U.S. Opco Capital) and cause the Partnership to redeem and purchase from
Holdings a number of Units (and the associated Capital), in each case, equal to (A) the number of Units underlying the redeemed or purchased REU Interest, multiplied by (B) the Holdings Ratio as of immediately prior to the
redemption or purchase of such REU Interest. The aggregate purchase price that the Opcos shall pay to Holdings in such redemption shall be an amount of cash equal to the amount required by Holdings to redeem or purchase such REU Interest (including
the REU Post-Termination Payment (as defined in the Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement), if any); provided that, upon mutual agreement of the general partner of Holdings, the general partner of U.S. Opco and the General Partner, U.S. Opco
and 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. BGC Partners shall determine the proportion of such amount that shall be paid by U.S. Opco, on the one hand, and the Partnership, on the other hand (which determination shall be based on BGC
Partners’ good-faith judgment as to the proportion of the total fair value of the Opcos represented by U.S. Opco and the Partnership, respectively, as of such date). 

Section 8.02. Optional Redemption of Units in Connection with a Repurchase of BGC Partners Common Stock. At the election of BGC
Partners, in connection with a repurchase by BGC Partners of its Class A Common Stock or a similar action, U.S. Opco and the Partnership, directly or indirectly through their Subsidiaries, shall redeem and purchase from BGC Partners a 

  
 -25- 

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

DISSOLUTION 
 Section 9.01.
Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the first to occur of the following:

 (b) at any time there are no limited partners of the Partnership, unless the business of the
Partnership is continued in accordance with the Act; 
 (c) any event that results in the General Partner ceasing to be a general partner of
the Partnership under the Act; provided that the Partnership shall not be dissolved and required to be wound up in connection with any such event if (i) at the time of the occurrence of such event there is at least one remaining general

To the fullest extent permitted by law, none of the Partners shall have any right to terminate, dissolve or have redeemed their class of
Interests or, except for the General Partner in accordance with this Section 9.01, to terminate, windup or dissolve the Partnership. Absent the approval of a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors, each Partner shall
use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the dissolution of the Partnership, except in the case of a dissolution pursuant to this Section 9.01. 

  
 -26- 

 Section 9.02. Liquidation. Upon a dissolution pursuant to Section 9.01, the
Partnership’s business and assets shall be wound up promptly in an orderly manner. The General Partner shall be the liquidator to wind up the affairs of the Partnership. In performing its duties, the General Partner is authorized to sell,
exchange or otherwise dispose of the Partnership’s business and assets in accordance with the Act in any reasonable manner that the General Partner determines to be in the best interests of the Partners. Upon completion of the winding-up of the
Partnership, the General Partner shall prepare and submit to each Limited Partner a final statement with respect thereto.

the dissolution as provided below: 
 (i) first, to the creditors of the Partnership, including Partners that are creditors of the
Partnership to the extent permitted by law, in satisfaction of the liabilities of the Partnership (by payment or by the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof, including the setting up of any reserves which the General Partner
determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, are necessary therefor); 
 (ii) second, to the repayment of any loans or advances
that may have been made by any of the Partners to the Partnership; 
 (iii) third, to the Partners in proportion to (and to the
extent of) the positive balances in their respective Capital Accounts; and 
 (iv) thereafter, to the Partners in proportion to their
respective Percentage Interests. 
 (b) Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership. Upon completion of a liquidation and

 ARTICLE X 

INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION 

Section 10.01. 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 10.02. 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 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 10.02(c), the Partnership shall indemnify any such Person seeking

  
 -28- 

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

(c) If a claim under Section 10.02(a) is not paid in full by the Partnership within thirty (30) days after a written claim pursuant
to Section 10.02(b) has been received by the Partnership, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Partnership to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be
entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the
undertaking required by 

  
 -29- 

 
Section 10.02, 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 BGC Partners, Independent Counsel or a Majority in Interest) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met
the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Partnership (including the board of directors of BGC Partners, Independent Counsel or a Majority in Interest) that the claimant has not met such applicable
standard of conduct, shall be a defense to such action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 

(d) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10.02(b) that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, the Partnership
shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 10.02(c). 
 (e) The Partnership shall be
precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 10.02(c) that the procedures and presumptions of this Section 10.02 are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the
Partnership is bound by all the provisions of this Section 10.02. 
 (f) The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses
incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section 10.02 shall not be exclusive of any other right that any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Agreement,
agreement, vote of the Limited Partners (by affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest) or Disinterested Directors or otherwise. No amendment or other modification of this Section 10.02 shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights
of a General Partner, a Limited Partner or any directors, officers, employees or agents of the General Partner in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such amendment or other modification. 

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

(h) If any provision or provisions of this Section 10.02 shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever:
(i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Section 10.02 (including each portion of this Section 10.02 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not
itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or 

  
 -30- 

 
impaired thereby; and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Section 10.02 (including each such portion of this Section 10.02 containing any such provision
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable. 

(i) For purposes of this Article X: 

(i) “Disinterested Director” means a director of BGC Partners who is not and was not a party to the matter in respect of
which indemnification is sought by the claimant. 
 (ii) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, a member of a law firm, or
an independent practitioner, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and shall include any Person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would not have a conflict of interest in representing either the
Partnership or the claimant in an action to determine the claimant’s rights under this Section 10.02. 
 (j) Any notice, request or
other communication required or permitted to be given to the Partnership under this Section 10.02 shall be in writing and either delivered in person or sent by facsimile, overnight mail or courier service, or certified or registered mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the General Partner and shall be effective only upon receipt by the General Partner. 

Section 10.03. Insurance. The Partnership may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Partnership or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such
expense, liability or loss under the DGCL if the Partnership were a corporation organized under the DGCL. To the extent that the Partnership maintains any policy or policies providing such insurance, each such director or officer, and each such
agent or employee to which rights of indemnification have been granted as provided in Section 10.02 shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage thereunder for any such

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 11.01. Amendments. Except as provided in Section 1.03 with respect to this Agreement or Section 2.01, this
Agreement may not be amended except with (and any such amendment shall be authorized upon obtaining) the approval of each of the General Partner and the Limited Partners (by the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest); provided that this
Agreement shall not be amended to (i) amend any provisions which require the consent of a specified percentage in interest of the Limited Partners without the consent of that specified percentage in interest of the Limited Partners;
(ii) alter the interest of any Partner in the amount or timing of distributions or the allocation of profits, losses or credits (other than any such alteration caused by the acquisition of additional Units by any Partner or the issuance of
additional Units to any Person pursuant to this Agreement or as otherwise expressly provided herein), if such alteration would either (A) materially adversely affect the economic interest of a Partner in the Partnership or (B) materially
adversely affect the value of Interests, in each case without the consent of (x) the Partners holding at least two-thirds of all Units in the case of an amendment applying in a substantially similar manner to all classes of Interests or
(y) two-thirds in interest of the affected class or classes of the Partners in the case of any other amendment; or (iii) amend this Agreement to alter the Special Voting Limited Partner’s ability to remove a General Partner;
provided, however, that the General Partner may authorize, without further approval of any other Person or group, (1) any amendment to this Agreement to correct any technicality, incorrect statement or error apparent on the face
hereof in order to further the intent of the parties hereto or (2) correction of any formality or error apparent on the face hereof or incorrect statement or defect in the execution hereof. Any merger or consolidation of the Partnership with
any third party that shall amend or otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement shall require the approval of the Persons referred to above to the extent the approval of such Persons would have been required had such amendment or modification been
effected by an amendment to this Agreement. 
 Section 11.02. Benefits of Agreement. None of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditor of the Partnership or by any creditor of any of the Partners. Except as provided in Article X with respect to Persons entitled to indemnification pursuant to such Article and except for

or in part for the benefit of any third person. 
 Section 11.03. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given
to any Partner or other Person under the provisions of the Act or this Agreement, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the Person or Persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to

the Partnership’s affairs, the rights or interests of the Partners or the estate of any deceased Partner (to the extent that they are related to any of the foregoing), or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or any breach or termination or alleged breach or termination of this Agreement, shall be tried and determined exclusively in the state or federal courts in the State of Delaware, and each of the Partners hereby
irrevocably submits with regard to any such Action for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the Partners hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any right it may have to assert, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any such Action: (i) any claim that it is not subject to personal jurisdiction in the aforesaid courts
for any reason; (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts; (iii) that (A) any of the aforesaid courts is an inconvenient or inappropriate
forum for such Action, or (B) venue is not proper in any of the aforesaid courts; and (iv) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof or thereof, may not be enforced in or by any of the aforesaid courts. With respect to any action
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any obligation hereunder, each Partner irrevocably and unconditionally, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (x) agrees to appoint promptly upon request from the Partnership authorized agents
for the purpose of receiving service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in Wilmington, Delaware; (y) consents to service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in such jurisdictions; and (z) consents to service of process

 (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.

  
 -33- 

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

Section 11.07. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted by this Agreement shall be made in writing and
any such notice or communication shall be deemed delivered when delivered in Person, properly transmitted by facsimile, e-mail or any other electronic communication or posting or one (1) Business Day after it has been sent by an internationally
recognized overnight courier to the address for notices shown in the Partnership’s records (or any other address provided to the Partnership in writing for this purpose) or, if given to the Partnership, to the principal place of business of the
Partnership. Each Partner may from time to time change its address for notices under this Section 11.07 by giving at least five (5) days’ prior written notice of such changed address to the Partnership. 

Section 11.08. No Waiver of Rights. No failure or delay on the part of any Partner in the exercise of any power or right hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right or power. The waiver by any Partner of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach hereunder. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

(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

survive the subsequent disability or incapacity of the principal. 
 Section 11.10. Severability. If any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to cause it to be enforceable, and the validity, legality and

 Section 11.15. Opportunity; Fiduciary Duty. To the greatest extent permitted by law and except as

 -35- 

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

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

  
 -36- 

 All directors of BGC Partners may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of
directors of BGC Partners or of a committee thereof that authorizes such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction. 
 Directors of the General
Partner who are also directors or officers of any Holdings Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company or any Newmark Company or any of their respective Representatives shall not owe or be liable for breach of any fiduciary duty to the
Partnership or any of holders of Interests for any action taken by any Holdings Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company or any Newmark Company or their respective Representatives, in their capacity as a holder of Interests or Affiliate
of the Partnership. 
 Nothing herein contained shall prevent any Holdings Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Company or any
of their respective Representatives from conducting any other business, including serving as an officer, director, employee, or stockholder of any corporation, partnership or limited liability company, a trustee of any trust, an executor or
administrator of any estate, or an administrative official of any other business or not-for-profit entity, or from receiving any compensation in connection therewith. 

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

  
 -37- 

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

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

  
 -38- 

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

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

Section 11.17. Obligations with Respect to Holdings Non-Participating Units. The Partnership shall indemnify and reimburse
Holdings for any payment made by Holdings in respect of any Holdings Non-Participating Unit. BGC Partners shall determine the proportion of any such amount that shall be paid by the Partnership, on the one hand, and U.S. Opco, on the other hand.

 Section 11.18. Effectiveness. The Original Limited Partnership Agreement was effective for all financial and accounting
purposes as of December 7, 2006. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof. 
 Section 11.19. Parity of
Units. It is the non-binding intention of each of the Partners, the Partnership and U.S. Opco that the number of outstanding Units shall at all times equal the number of outstanding U.S. Opco Units, except with respect to issuances of Holdings
Limited Partnership Interests in connection with an acquisition of another business. Accordingly, in the event of any issuance or repurchase by U.S. Opco of U.S. Opco Units, other than in connection with an acquisition, it is the non-binding
intention of each of the Partners, U.S Opco and the Partnership that there be a parallel issuance or repurchase transaction by the Partnership so that the number of outstanding Units shall at all times equal the number of outstanding U.S. Opco
Units, and the parties to this Agreement agree to cooperate to effect the intent of this Section 11.19.

 EXHIBIT A

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).

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

 (f) “Nonrecourse Deductions” has the meaning set forth in Treasury

 Section 2. Special Allocations. 

The following special allocations shall be made in the following order, prior to the allocations specified in Section 5.04(a) of this
Agreement: 
 (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation
section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any fiscal year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of
Partnership income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This provision is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback
requirement in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

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

  
 A-2 

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

  
 A-3 

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

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

Article II 
 Demand
Registrations 
 Section 2.1 Requests for Registration. Subject to the provisions of this Article II, any Holder or group of
Holders may at any time make a written request (a “Demand Request”) for registration under the Securities Act of Registrable Securities (a “Demand Registration”). Such Demand Requests shall specify the amount of
Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method or methods of disposition. Newmark shall, subject to the provisions of this Article II and to the Holders’ compliance with their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement,
use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a Registration Statement registering all Registrable Securities included in such Demand Request, for disposition in accordance with the intended method or methods set forth therein;
provided that if the managing underwriter(s) for a Demand Registration in which Registrable Securities are proposed to be included pursuant to this Article II that involves an underwritten offering shall advise Newmark that, in its reasonable
opinion, the number of Registrable Securities to be sold is greater than the amount that can be offered without adversely affecting the success of the offering (taking into consideration the interests of Newmark and the Holders), then Newmark will
be entitled to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such registration to the number that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter(s), can be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above; provided,
further, that in the event of such a reduction in the number of Registrable Securities included in such registration, the number of Registrable Securities registered shall be allocated in the following priority: first, pro rata among
the Holders participating in the Demand Registration, based on the number of Registrable Securities included by such Holder in the Demand Request; second, shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock proposed to be registered for offer and
sale by Newmark; and third, shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock proposed to be registered pursuant to any piggy-back registration rights of security holders of Newmark other than any Holder. Newmark shall use its reasonable best
efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after filing and to remain effective until the earlier of (i) 90 days following the date on which it was declared effective and (ii) the date on which
all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby are disposed of in accordance with the method or methods of disposition stated therein. 

Section 2.2 Timing of Registrations. Notwithstanding anything in this Article II to the contrary, Newmark shall not be obligated
to effect a Demand Registration (i) if a Piggy-back Registration had been available to any Holder within the 180 days preceding the date of the Demand Request or (ii) during any period (not to exceed 180 days) following the closing of the
completion of an offering of securities by Newmark if such Demand Registration would cause Newmark to breach a “lock-up” or similar provision contained in the underwriting agreement for such
offering. 

  
 -5- 

 Section 2.3 Suspension of Registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Newmark it would be materially detrimental to Newmark and its stockholders for any Registration Statement to be filed or continued to be used or for any Registration Statement or Prospectus to be amended
or supplemented because such filing, continued use, amendment or supplement would (i) require disclosure of material non-public information, the disclosure of which would be reasonably likely to
materially and adversely affect Newmark and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (ii) materially interfere with any existing or prospective business transaction or negotiation involving Newmark, Newmark shall have the right to suspend the use
of the applicable Registration Statement or delay delivery or filing, but not the preparation, of the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference, in each case for a reasonable period of time;
provided, however, that Newmark shall not be able to exercise such suspension right more than twice in each 12-month period aggregating not more than 150 days in such 12-month period. In the event that the ability of the Holders to sell shall be suspended for any reason, the period of such suspension shall not count towards compliance with the
90-day period referred to in clause (i) of Section 2.1. 
 Article III 

Piggy-back Registrations 

Section 3.1 Right to Include Registrable Securities. If at any time Newmark proposes to register (including for this purpose a
registration effected by Newmark for security holders of Newmark other than any Holder) securities which may include any shares of Newmark Common Stock and to file a Registration Statement with respect thereto under the Securities Act, whether or
not for sale for its own account (other than pursuant to (i) a registration statement on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor or similar forms; or (ii) a
registration statement for the sales of Registrable Securities issuable or issued upon exchange, conversion or sale of any Newmark Holdings Exchangeable Limited Partnership Interests held by any member of the Cantor Group), in a manner that would
permit registration of Registrable Securities for resale to the public under the Securities Act (a “Public Offering”), Newmark will each such time promptly give written notice to the Holders of (a) its intention to do so,
(b) the form of registration statement of the SEC that has been selected by Newmark and (c) the rights of Holders under this Article III (the “Article III Notice”). Newmark will include in any Public Offering all
Registrable Securities that Newmark is requested in writing, within 15 days after the date the Article III Notice is delivered by Newmark, to register by the Holders thereof (each, a “Piggy-back Registration”); provided,
however, that (A) if, at any time after giving the Article III Notice and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection therewith, Newmark shall determine to abandon such Public Offering, Newmark may give
written notice of such determination to all Holders who so requested registration, and thereafter Newmark shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such abandoned Public Offering (without prejudice
to the other rights of Holders under this Article III), and (B) Newmark shall be permitted to delay such Public Offering for the same period and under the same circumstances as set forth in Section 2.3. No Piggy-back Registration effected
by Newmark under this Article III shall relieve Newmark of its obligations to effect Demand Registrations under Article II, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.2. 

Section 3.2 Priority; Registration Form. If the managing underwriter(s) for a Piggy-back Registration that involves an
underwritten offering shall advise Newmark in good faith that in its opinion, the number of shares of Newmark Common Stock to be sold for the account of persons other than Newmark (collectively, “Selling Stockholders”) is greater
than the amount 

  
 -6- 

 
that can be offered without adversely affecting the success of the offering (taking into consideration the interests of Newmark and the Holders), then the number of shares of Newmark Common Stock
to be sold for the account of Selling Stockholders (including Holders) may be reduced to a number that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriter(s), may reasonably be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above. The reduced
number of shares of Newmark Common Stock that may be registered in such Public Offering shall be allocated in the following priority: first, to shares of Newmark Common Stock proposed to be registered for offer and sale by Newmark;
second, to shares of Newmark Common Stock proposed to be registered pursuant to any demand registration rights of security holders of Newmark other than any Holder; and third, to Registrable Securities proposed to be registered by
Holders as a Piggy-back Registration. If the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered by Holders as a Piggy-back Registration is reduced pursuant to this Section 3.2, such Registrable Securities included in the Registration
Statement shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders participating in the Piggy-back Registration based on the number of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by the respective Holders. If, as a result of the proration provisions of this
Section 3.2, any Holder shall not be entitled to include all Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to this Article III that such Holder has requested be included, such Holder may elect to withdraw its Registrable Securities from
such registration. 
 Article IV 

Registration Procedures 

Section 4.1 Use Reasonable Best Efforts. In connection with Newmark’s registration obligations pursuant to Article II and
Article III, Newmark shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such registrations to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof and pursuant thereto Newmark shall as
expeditiously as reasonably practicable: 
 (a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements relating to
the registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act, and to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable and to remain continuously effective for the time period required by this Agreement to
the extent permitted under the Securities Act; 
 (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each
Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the time period required by this Agreement; cause the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus
supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed in accordance with the Securities Act and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Securities Act as may be necessary to facilitate the
disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition by the selling Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or
such Prospectus or Prospectus supplement; 

  
 -7- 

 (c) notify the selling Holders and the managing underwriter(s), if any, promptly if at any time
(i) any Prospectus, Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto is filed, (ii) any Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereto, becomes effective, (iii) the SEC or any other federal or state
governmental authority requests any amendment or supplement to, or any additional information in respect of, any Registration Statement or Prospectus, (iv) the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority issues any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or initiates any proceedings for that purpose, (v) Newmark receives any notice that the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction has been suspended or that
any proceeding has been initiated for the purpose of suspending such qualification, (vi) upon the discovery of any event which requires that any changes be made in such Registration Statement or any related Prospectus so that such Registration
Statement or Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made (provided, however, that, in the case of this subclause (vi), such notice need only state that an event of such nature has occurred, without describing such event), (vii) of the determination by counsel of Newmark
that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is advisable; or (viii) if, at any time, the representations and warranties of Newmark in any applicable underwriting agreement cease to be true and correct in all material respects.
Newmark hereby agrees to promptly reimburse any selling Holders for any reasonable out-of-pocket losses and expenses incurred in connection with any uncompleted sale of
any Registrable Securities in the event that Newmark fails to timely notify such Holder that the Registration Statement then on file with the SEC is no longer effective; 

(d) make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the
qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest reasonably practicable time; 
 (e) if requested by
the managing underwriter(s) or any Holder of Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten offering, incorporate into a Prospectus supplement or a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement any information which
the managing underwriter(s), such Holder and Newmark reasonably agree is required to be included therein relating to such sale of Registrable Securities; and file such supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable in accordance with
the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; 
 (f) furnish to each selling Holder and each managing underwriter,
if any, one signed copy of the Registration Statement or Registration Statements, any Newmark Free Writing Prospectus and any post-effective amendment thereto, including all financial statements and schedules thereto, all documents incorporated
therein by reference and all exhibits thereto (including exhibits incorporated by reference) as promptly as practicable after filing such documents with the SEC; 

(g) deliver to each selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each preliminary
Prospectus) and any amendment, supplement or exhibit thereto as such Persons may reasonably request; and consent to the use of such Prospectus or any amendment, supplement or exhibit thereto by each such selling Holder and underwriter, if any, in
connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus, amendment, supplement or exhibit, in each case in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof; 

  
 -8- 

 (h) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, register or qualify, or cooperate
with the selling Holders, the underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of, such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as
may be requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement; keep each such registration or qualification effective during the period that the applicable Registration Statement is required to
be maintained effective under this Agreement; and do any and all other acts or things necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however,
that Newmark will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so
subject; 
 (i) furnish to counsel selected by the Holders, prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any supplement
or post-effective amendment or any Newmark Free Writing Prospectus thereto with the SEC, copies of such documents and with a reasonable and appropriate opportunity to review and comment on such documents, subject to such documents being under
Newmark’s control; 
 (j) cooperate with the selling Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, in the preparation and delivery of
certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold, such certificates to be in such denominations and registered in such names as such selling Holders or underwriter(s) may request at least five (5) Business Days prior to any sale
of Registrable Securities represented by such certificates; 
 (k) subject to Section 4.3, upon the occurrence of any event described in
clause (vi) of Section 4.1(c), promptly prepare and file a supplement or post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference, and any other required documents,
so that such Registration Statement and Prospectus will not thereafter contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, and to cause such supplement or post-effective amendment to become effective as soon as practicable; 
 (l) take all
other actions in connection therewith as are reasonably necessary or desirable to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and, in the case of an underwritten offering:

cause Newmark’s officers, directors, employees, attorneys and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such selling Holders, underwriter(s), attorneys, accountants or agents in connection with such
Registration Statement (each selling Holder of Registrable Securities agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of all its underwriter(s), accountants, attorneys and agents, that the information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be
kept confidential by it and, except as required by law, not disclosed by it, in each case, unless and until such information is made generally available to the public other than by such selling Holder; and each selling Holder of Registrable
Securities further agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of all its underwriter(s), accountants, attorneys and agents, that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such information is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, promptly give
notice to Newmark and allow Newmark at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the information deemed confidential);

 Section 4.3 Suspension of Sales Pending Amendment of Prospectus. Each Holder shall,
upon receipt of any notice from Newmark of the happening of any event of the kind described in clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 4.1(c), suspend the disposition of any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or
Prospectus until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus or until it is advised in writing by Newmark that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, if so directed by Newmark such Holder will
deliver to Newmark all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of any Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities. If Newmark shall have given any such notice during a period when a Demand Registration is
in effect, the 90-day period referred to in clause (i) of Section 2.1 shall be extended by the number of days of such suspension period.

Section 6.1 Indemnification by Newmark. In the event of any registration of any securities of Newmark under the Securities Act
pursuant to Article II or Article III, Newmark will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder of any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, its directors, officers and agents and each other Person, if any, who controls
such selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each such selling Holder and such other Persons, collectively, “Holder Covered Persons”), against any and all out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Damages”) actually and as incurred by such Holder
Covered Person under the Securities Act, common law or otherwise, to the extent that such Damages (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or result from (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Disclosure Package, any Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, under which 

  
 -11- 

 
such securities were registered under the Securities Act or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary Prospectus, together with the documents incorporated by
reference therein (as amended or supplemented if Newmark shall have filed with the SEC any amendment thereof or supplement thereto), if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the Prospectus, together with
the documents incorporated by reference therein (as amended or supplemented if Newmark shall have filed with the SEC any amendment thereof or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Newmark shall not be liable to any Holder Covered Person in any such case to
the extent that any such Damage (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) arises out of or relates to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement or amendment thereof or
supplement thereto or in any such preliminary, final or summary Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Newmark by or on behalf of any such Holder Covered Person specifically for use in the preparation
thereof. 
 Section 6.2 Indemnification by the Selling Holders. Each Holder selling Registrable Securities in any Registration
Statement filed pursuant to Article II or Article III will indemnify and hold harmless, severally and not jointly, Newmark, its directors, officers and agents and each Person controlling Newmark within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act (each, a “Newmark Covered Person”) against any and all Damages actually and as incurred by such Newmark Covered Person under the Securities Act, common law or otherwise, to the extent that such Damages (or actions or
proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or result from any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from the Disclosure Package, such Registration Statement, any preliminary, final or summary Prospectus contained
therein, any Holder Free Writing Prospectus for such Holder or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to Newmark or its representatives by or on behalf of any selling Holder specifically for use in the preparation of such Disclosure Package, Registration Statement, preliminary, final or summary Prospectus, Holder Free Writing Prospectus or amendment
or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of any Holder hereunder be greater than the net proceeds received by such Holder under the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Newmark or any of its directors, officers, agents or controlling Persons. Newmark may require as a condition to its including Registrable Securities in any
Registration Statement filed hereunder that each such selling Holder acknowledge its agreement to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement (including this Article VI) applicable to it. 

Section 6.3 Notices of Claims. Promptly after receipt by a Holder Covered Person or a Newmark Covered Person (each, an
“Indemnified Party”) of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Article VI, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against, respectively, Newmark, on the one hand, or any selling Holder, on 

  
 -12- 

 
the other hand (such Person or Persons, the “Indemnifying Party”), give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the
failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its or their obligations under this Article VI, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by such
failure to give notice, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party, and it shall
notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in accordance with this Section 6.3, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Article VI for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable cost of investigation; provided, further, that if, in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, a
conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim, then such Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ one firm of attorneys at the
Indemnifying Party’s expense to represent such Indemnified Party. No Indemnified Party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent to such judgment or settlement,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of which the
Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim
or proceeding. 
 Section 6.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article VI is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under this Article VI, then each Indemnifying Party shall have a several and not joint obligation to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of the Damages
referred to in this Article VI in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the offering that resulted in such
Damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether an untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or an omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statements or omission.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.4 to the contrary, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount pursuant to this Section 6.4 in excess of the amount by which (i) the net proceeds received by such Holder from the
sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the misstatement or omission relates exceeds (ii) the amount of any Damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such misstatement or omission. Newmark and the
Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6.4 were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in this Section 6.4. The amount paid by an Indemnified Party as a 

  
 -13- 

 
result of the Damages referred to in the first sentence of this Section 6.4 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection
with investigating or defending any action or claim (which shall be limited as provided in Section 6.3 if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of any such action in accordance with the provisions thereof) that is the subject of this
Section 6.4. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 6.4 of notice of the commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against an Indemnifying Party under this Section 6.4, such
Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof if the notice specified in Section 6.3 has not been given with respect to such action; provided, however, that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its or their obligations under this Article VI, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by such failure to
give notice, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party. 

Article VII 
 Rule 144

 Section 7.1 Rule 144. Newmark shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, so long as it is subject to such reporting requirements, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the
Securities Act within the limits of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). Upon the request of a Holder, Newmark shall deliver to such Holder a written statement stating whether it has complied with
such requirements and will take such further action as such Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the
limits of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. 
 Article VIII 

Underwritten Registrations 

Section 8.1 Selection of Underwriter(s). In each registration under Article II or Article III, the underwriter or underwriters and
managing underwriter or managing underwriters that will administer the offering shall be selected by Newmark; provided, however, that in the case of a registration under Article II, such underwriter(s) and managing underwriter(s) shall
be subject to the approval by the Holders of a majority in aggregate amount of Registrable Securities included in such offering, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

Section 8.2 Agreements of Selling Holders. No Holder shall sell any of its Registrable Securities in any underwritten offering
pursuant to a registration hereunder unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell such Registrable Securities on a basis provided in any underwriting agreement in customary form, including the making of customary representations, warranties and

  
 -14- 

 
indemnities and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting
agreements or as reasonably requested by Newmark (whether or not such offering is underwritten). 
 Article IX 

Holdback Agreements 

Section 9.1 Restrictions on Public Sales by Holders. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each Holder that is
timely notified in writing by the managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) shall not effect any public sale or distribution (including a sale pursuant to Rule 144) of any securities of Newmark of the same class or series being registered in an
underwritten offering (other than pursuant to an employee stock option, stock purchase, stock bonus or similar plan, or pursuant to a merger, exchange offer or transaction of the type specified in Rule 145(a) under the Securities Act) or any
securities of Newmark convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for securities of the same class or series, during the seven-day period prior to the effective date of the applicable Registration
Statement, if such date is known, or during the period beginning on such effective date and ending either (i) 60 days after such effective date or (ii) any such earlier date as may be requested by the managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s)
of such registration, except as part of such registration.
