SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED BGC PARTNERS, INC. 

INCENTIVE BONUS COMPENSATION PLAN 

(June 6, 2017) 
 1.
Purpose. The purpose of this Second Amended and Restated Incentive Bonus Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) of BGC Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is (i) to attract, retain and reward key employees
of the Company and its subsidiaries by providing them with the opportunity to earn bonus awards that are based upon the achievement of specified performance goals; and (ii) to structure such bonus opportunities in a way that will qualify the
awards made as “performance-based” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code so that the Company may be entitled to a federal income tax deduction for the payment of such incentive awards to such employees. 

The Plan was initially adopted by the Company in 2003 as the “eSpeed, Inc. 2003 Incentive Bonus Compensation Plan.” In the first
quarter of 2007, the eSpeed, Inc. 2003 Incentive Bonus Compensation Plan was amended and restated, subject to stockholder approval, to increase the maximum annual individual bonus award, beginning with bonus awards for 2007, to $10 million. The
eSpeed, Inc. Amended and Restated 2003 Incentive Bonus Compensation Plan was further amended and restated effective as of the closing of the merger between eSpeed, Inc. and BGC Partners, Inc. on April 1, 2008, and at that time was renamed the
“BGC Partners, Inc. Amended and Restated Incentive Bonus Compensation Plan.” Effective as of November 4, 2008, the BGC Partners, Inc. Amended and Restated Incentive Bonus Compensation Plan was further amended and restated, among other
things, to clarify that bonuses payable under the Plan could be paid in the form of awards under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan and the BGC Holdings, L.P. Participation Plan, as well as cash. In the first quarter of 2011, the Amended
and Restated Incentive Bonus Compensation Plan was further amended and restated, subject to stockholder approval, principally to increase the maximum annual individual bonus award, beginning with bonus awards for 2011, to $25 million, and upon
stockholder approval on December 14, 2011, was renamed the BGC Partners, Inc. First Amended and Restated Incentive Bonus Compensation Plan. In the first quarter of 2017, the First Amended and Restated Incentive Bonus Compensation Plan was
further amended and restated, subject to stockholder approval, in order to approve the material terms of the performance goals under the Plan, beginning with bonus awards for 2017, and upon stockholder approval on June 6, 2017, was renamed the
Second Amended and Restated BGC Partners, Inc. Incentive Bonus Compensation Plan. 
 2. Definitions. As used in the Plan, the
following terms shall the meanings set forth below: 
 (a) “Applicable Period” shall mean, with respect to any
Performance Period, a period commencing on or before the first day of such Performance Period and ending no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th day of such Performance Period, or (ii) the date on which 25% of such Performance Period has
been completed. Any action required under the Plan to be taken within the period specified in the preceding sentence may be taken at a later date if, but only if, the regulations under Section 162(m) of the Code are hereafter amended, or
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service, to permit such later date, in which case the term “Applicable Period” shall be deemed amended accordingly. 

(b) “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company as constituted from time to time. 

(c) “Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. 

(d) “Committee” shall mean the committee of the Board consisting solely of two or more
non-employee directors (each of whom is intended to qualify as an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code) designated by the Board as the committee responsible for
administering and interpreting the Plan. 
 (e) “Company” shall mean BGC Partners, Inc., a corporation organized
under the laws of the State of Delaware, and any successor thereto. 
 (f) “GAAP” shall mean United States
generally accepted accounting principles. 
 (g) “Individual Award Opportunity” shall mean the performance-based
award opportunity for a given Participant for a given Performance Period as specified by the Committee within the Applicable Period, which may be expressed in dollars or on a formula basis that is consistent with the provisions of the Plan. 

(h) “Negative Discretion” shall mean the discretion authorized by the Plan to be applied by the Committee to
eliminate, or reduce the value of, a bonus award otherwise payable to a Participant for a given Performance Period, provided that the exercise of such discretion would not cause the award to fail to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. By way of example and not by way of limitation, in no event shall any discretionary authority granted to the Committee by the Plan, including, but not limited to, Negative Discretion, be used
(i) to provide for an award under the Plan in excess of the value payable based on actual performance versus the applicable performance goals for the Performance Period in question, or in excess of the individual award limit maximum value
specified in Section 6(b) below, or (ii) to increase the value otherwise payable to any other Participant. 

 (i) “Participant” shall mean, for any given Performance Period with
respect to which the Plan is in effect, each key employee of the Company (including any subsidiary, operating unit or division) who is designated as a Participant in the Plan for such Performance Period by the Committee pursuant to Section 4
below. 
 (j) “Performance Period” shall mean any period commencing on or after January 1, 2017 for which
performance goals are set under Section 5 and during which performance shall be measured to determine whether such goals have been met for purposes of determining whether a Participant is entitled to payment of a bonus under the Plan. A
Performance Period may be coincident with one or more fiscal years of the Company, or a portion thereof. 
 (k)
“Plan” shall mean the BGC Partners, Inc. Second Amended and Restated Incentive Bonus Compensation Plan as set forth in this document, and as further amended from time to time. 

3. Administration. 

(a) General. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law and
regulation (including, but not limited to, Section 162(m) of the Code), and in addition to any other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Committee by the Plan, the Committee shall have the full power and authority, after taking
into account, in its sole and absolute discretion, the recommendations of the Company’s senior management: 
 (i) to
designate (within the Applicable Period) the Participants in the Plan and the Individual Award Opportunities and/or, if applicable, bonus pool award opportunities for such Performance Period; 

(ii) to designate (within the Applicable Period) and thereafter administer the performance goals and other award terms and
conditions that are to apply under the Plan for such Performance Period; 
 (iii) to determine and certify the bonus award
value earned for any given Performance Period, based on actual performance versus the performance goals for such Performance Period, after making any permitted Negative Discretion adjustments; 

(iv) to decide whether, under what circumstances and subject to what terms bonus payouts are to be paid on a deferred basis,
including, but not limited to, automatic deferrals at the Committee’s election as well as elective deferrals at the election of Participants, in each case after having considered the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code;

 (v) to adopt, revise, suspend, waive or repeal, when and as appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion, such
administrative rules, guidelines and procedures for the Plan as it deems necessary or advisable to implement the terms and conditions of the Plan; 

(vi) to interpret and administer the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Individual Award Opportunity (including
reconciling any inconsistencies, correcting any defaults and addressing any omissions in the Plan or any related instrument or agreement); and 

(vii) to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. 

It is intended that all bonus awards payable to Participants under the Plan who are “covered employees” within the meaning of Treas.
Reg. Sec. 1.162-27(c)(2) (as amended from time to time) shall constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.162-27(e) (as amended from time to time), and, to the maximum extent possible, the Plan and the terms of any Individual Award Opportunity shall be so interpreted and construed. 

(b) Binding Nature of Committee Decisions. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations,
determinations, interpretations and other decisions made under or with respect to the Plan or any Individual Award Opportunity shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee, and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all
persons, including the Company, any Participant, and any beneficiary or other person having, or claiming, any rights under the Plan. 

(c) Other. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination (including, but not limited to,
any decision not to act) made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Individual Award Opportunity. If a Committee member intended to qualify as an “outside director” under Section 162(m) of the Code does not in fact so qualify,
the mere fact of such non-qualification shall not invalidate any Individual Award Opportunity or other action taken by the Committee under the Plan which otherwise was validly taken under the Plan. 

4. Plan Participation. 

(a) Participant Designations by the Committee. For any given Performance Period, the Committee, in its sole and absolute
discretion, shall, within the Applicable Period, designate those key employees of the Company (including its subsidiaries, operating units and divisions) who shall be Participants in the Plan for such Performance Period. 

(b) Impact of Plan Participation. An individual who is a designated Participant for any given Performance Period shall
not also participate in the Company’s general bonus plans for such Performance Period (to the extent such plans exist), if such participation would cause any Individual Award Opportunity hereunder to fail to qualify as
“performance-based” under Section 162(m). 

 5. Performance Goals. 

(a) Setting of Performance Goals. For a given Performance Period, the Committee shall, within the Applicable Period, set
one or more objective target performance goals for each Participant and/or each group of Participants and/or each bonus pool (if any). Such goals shall be based exclusively on one or more of the following corporate-wide or subsidiary, division or
operating unit financial and strategic measures: 
  

	 	(1)	pre-tax or after-tax net income, 

  

	 	(2)	pre-tax or after-tax operating income, 

  

	 	(3)	gross revenue, 

  

	 	(4)	profit margin, 

  

	 	(5)	stock price, dividends and/or total stockholder return, 

  

	 	(6)	cash flow(s), 

  

	 	(7)	market share, 

  

	 	(8)	pre-tax or after-tax earnings per share, 

  

	 	(9)	pre-tax or after-tax operating earnings per share, 

  

	 	(10)	expenses, 

  

	 	(11)	return on equity, or 

  

	 	(12)	strategic business criteria, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified revenue, market penetration, or geographic business expansion goals, cost targets, and goals relating to acquisitions or
divestitures, or any combination thereof (in each case before or after such objective income and expense allocations or adjustments as the Committee may specify within the Applicable Period). Each such goal may be expressed on an absolute and/or
relative basis, may be based on or otherwise employ comparisons based on current internal targets, the past performance of the Company (including, but not limited to, the performance of one or more subsidiaries, divisions and/or operating units)
and/or the past or current performance of other companies, and in the case of earnings-based measures, may use or employ comparisons relating to capital (including, but limited to, the cost of capital), stockholders’ equity and/or shares
outstanding, or to assets or net assets. In all cases, the performance goals shall be such that they satisfy any applicable requirements under Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.162-27(e)(2) (as amended from time to time)
that the achievement of such goals be “substantially uncertain” at the time that they are established, and that the Individual Award Opportunity be defined in such a way that a third party with knowledge of the relevant facts could
determine whether and to what extent the performance goal has been met, and, subject to the Committee’s right to apply Negative Discretion, the value of the bonus award payable as a result of such performance. 

(b) Impact of Extraordinary Items or Changes in Accounting. To the extent applicable, the measures used in setting
performance goals set under the Plan for any given Performance Period shall be determined in accordance with GAAP in a manner consistent with the methods used in the Company’s audited financial statements, without regard to
(i) extraordinary items as determined by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with GAAP, (ii) changes in accounting, unless, in each case, the Committee decides otherwise within the Applicable
Period or (iii) non-recurring acquisition expenses and restructuring charges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in calculating operating earnings or operating income (including on a per share basis), the
Committee may, within the Applicable Period for a given Performance Period, provide that such calculation shall be made on the same basis as reflected in a release of the Company’s earnings for a previously completed period as specified by the
Committee. 
 6. Individual Award Opportunities and Bonus Awards. 

(a) Setting of Individual Award Opportunities. At the time that annual performance goals are set for Participants for a
given Performance Period (within the Applicable Period), the Committee shall also establish each Individual Award Opportunity for such Performance Period, which shall be based on the achievement of stated target performance goals, and may be stated
in dollars or on a formula basis (including, but not limited to, a designated share of a bonus pool or a multiple of annual base salary), provided: 

(i) that the designated shares of any bonus pool shall not exceed 100% of such pool; and 

(ii) that the Committee, in all cases, shall have the sole and absolute discretion, based on such factors as it deems
appropriate, to apply Negative Discretion to reduce (but not increase) the value of the actual bonus awards that would otherwise actually be payable to any Participant on the basis of the achievement of the applicable performance goals. 

 (b) Maximum Individual Bonus Award. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Plan, the maximum value of the bonus award payable under the Plan to any one individual in respect of any one calendar year shall be $25 million. 

(c) Bonus Award Payments. Subject to the following, bonus awards determined under the Plan in respect of any given
Performance Period shall be paid to Participants, in whole or in part, either in cash or in any form of award granted pursuant to the Company’s Seventh Amended and Restated Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) or the BGC
Holdings L.P. (the “Partnership”) Participation Plan, including, but not limited to, bonus stock, other stock-based awards, and bonus units of the Partnership, in each case valued by reference to the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock
(as such terms are defined in the Equity Plan) on the date of grant, provided: 
 (i) that no such payment shall be made
unless and until the Committee has certified (in the manner prescribed under applicable regulations) the extent to which the applicable performance goals for such Performance Period have been satisfied, and has made its decisions regarding the
extent of any Negative Discretion adjustment of bonus awards (to the extent permitted under the Plan); 
 (ii) that the
Committee may specify that a portion of the actual bonus award for any given Performance Period shall be paid on a deferred basis, based on such award payment rules as the Committee may establish and announce for such Performance Period, after
having considered the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code; 
 (iii) that the Committee may require (if
established and announced within the Applicable Period), as a condition of bonus eligibility (and subject to such exceptions as the Committee may specify within the Applicable Period) that Participants for such Performance Period must still be
employed as of end of such Performance Period and/or as of such later date as determined by the Committee; and 
 (iv) that
the Committee may adopt such forfeiture, pro-ration or other rules as it deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion, regarding the impact on bonus award rights in the event of a Participant’s
termination of employment. 
 7. General Provisions. 

(a) Plan Amendment or Termination. The Board may at any time amend or terminate the Plan, provided that (i) without
the Participant’s written consent, no such amendment or termination shall adversely affect the bonus award rights (if any) of any already designated Participant for a given Performance Period once the Participant designations and performance
goals for such Performance Period have been announced, (ii) the Board shall be authorized to make any amendments necessary to comply with applicable regulatory requirements (including, but not limited to, Section 162(m) of the Code), and
(iii) the Board shall submit any Plan amendment to the Company’s stockholders for their approval if and to the extent such approval is required under Section 162(m) of the Code, or other applicable laws or regulation. Nothing herein
shall be considered as preventing the Committee from making adjustments to the performance goals or to an Individual Award Opportunity to reflect unusual or non-recurring events, to the extent that such
adjustment will not adversely affect the bonus award from qualifying as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. 

(b) Applicable Law. All issues arising under the Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of New York, applied without regard to conflict of law principles. 
 (c) Tax Withholding. The Company
and its subsidiaries shall have right to make such provisions and take such action as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any and all Federal, state and local taxes that the Company or any of its subsidiaries may be required
to withhold. 
 (d) No Employment Right Conferred. Participation in the Plan shall not confer on any Participant the
right to remain employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and the Company and its subsidiaries specifically reserve the right to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time with or without cause or notice. 

(e) Impact of Plan Awards on Other Plans. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the
Company’s stockholders for their approval shall be construed as limiting the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may otherwise deem appropriate. 

8. Plan Term; Stockholder Approval. 

The Plan shall remain effective until terminated by the Board; provided, however, that the continued effectiveness of the Plan shall be subject
to the approval of the Company’s stockholders at such times and in such manner as may be required pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code.
