(c) Authority of Partners. Except as set forth herein with respect to the General Partner, no Limited Partner shall have any power or authority, in such Partner’s capacity as a Limited Partner, to act for or bind the Partnership except to the extent that such Limited Partner is so authorized in writing prior thereto by the General Partner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as set forth herein with respect to the General Partner, no Limited Partner, as such, shall, except as so authorized, have any power or authority to incur any liability or execute any instrument, agreement or other document for or on behalf of the Partnership, whether in the Partnership’s name or otherwise.

Each Limited Partner hereby agrees that, except to the extent provided in this Agreement and except to the extent that such Limited Partner shall be the General Partner, it will not participate in the management or control of the business and other affairs of the Partnership, will not transact any business for the Partnership and will not attempt to act for or bind the Partnership.

Section 4.01. Partners. The Partnership shall have (a) a General Partner and (b) one or more Limited Partners (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Special Voting Limited Partner).

The General Partnership Interest and the Limited Partnership Interests shall consist of, and be issued as, Units, Non-Participating Units and Capital.

Any Units repurchased by or otherwise transferred to the Partnership or otherwise forfeited or cancelled shall be cancelled and thereafter deemed to be authorized but unissued, and may be subsequently issued as Units for all purposes hereunder in accordance with this Agreement.

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

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

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

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

(ii) The Partnership shall have one Limited Partnership Interest designated as the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest, as provided in Section 4.03(b). There shall only be one Non-Participating Unit associated with the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest. All other Limited Partnership Interests shall be designated as Limited Partnership Interests.

(d) No Additional Classes of Interests. There shall be no additional classes of partnership interests in the Partnership.

(i) The General Partner is Newmark Holdings, LLC. On the date of this Agreement, Newmark Holdings, LLC shall hold the General Partnership Interest, which shall have the Non-Participating Unit and the Capital set forth on Schedule 4.02 and Schedule 5.01, respectively.

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

(iii) Effective immediately upon the Transfer of the General Partner’s entire General Partnership Interest as provided in Section 7.02(c), such Partner shall cease to be the General Partner.

(i) On the date of this Agreement, immediately following the Opco Partnership Division (and, with respect to Newmark Holdings, the Holdings Partnership Contribution), the Limited Partners shall hold the Limited Partnership Interests (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest), which shall have the Units, Non-Participating Units (in the case of the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest) and the Capital set forth on Schedule 4.02 and Schedule 5.01, respectively.

(ii) The admission of a Transferee as a Limited Partner pursuant to any Transfer permitted by Section 7.02(a) or 7.02(b), as applicable, shall be governed by Section 7.02, and the admission of a Person as a Limited Partner in connection with the issuance of additional Units pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(ii) shall be governed by such applicable Section.

(iii) Effective immediately upon the Transfer of a Limited Partner’s entire Limited Partnership Interest as provided in Section 7.02(a) or 7.02(b), as applicable, such Partner shall cease to have any interest in the profits, losses, assets, properties or capital of the Partnership with respect to such Limited Partnership Interest and shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

(c) No Additional Partners. No additional Partners shall be admitted to the Partnership except in accordance with this Article IV.

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

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

(c) No Limited Partner shall be liable to make up any deficit in its Capital Account; provided that nothing in this Section 4.04(c) shall relieve a Partner of any liability it may otherwise have, either pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to the terms of any agreement to which the Partnership or such Partner may be a party.

Section 4.05. Classes. Any Person may own one or more classes of Interests. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the ownership of any class of Interests shall not affect the rights or obligations of a Partner with respect to any other class of Interests. As used in this Agreement, the General Partner and the Limited Partners (including the Special Voting Limited Partner) shall be deemed to be separate Partners even if any Partner holds more than one class of Interest. References to a certain class of Interest with respect to any Partner shall refer solely to that class of Interest of such Partner and not to any other class of Interest, if any, held by such Partner.

Section 4.06. Certificates. The Partnership may, in the discretion of the General Partner, issue any or all Units in certificated form, which certificates shall be held by the Partnership as custodian for the applicable Partners. The form of any such certificates shall be approved by the General Partner and include the legend required by Section 7.06. If certificates are issued, a transfer of Units will require delivery of an endorsed certificate.

Section 4.07. Uniform Commercial Code Treatment of Units. Each Unit and Non-Participating Unit in the Partnership shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, (a) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware (6 Del. C. § 8-101, et. seq.) (the “UCC”), and (b) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State

Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any non-waivable provision of Article 8 of the UCC, such provision of Article 8 of the UCC shall control. The Partnership shall maintain books for the purpose of registering the Transfer of Units and Non-Participating Units. Any Transfer of Units and Non-Participating Units shall be effective as of the registration of the Transfer of such Units and Non-Participating Units in the books and records of the Partnership.

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

(a) Capital Accounts. There shall be established on the books and records of the Partnership a Capital Account for each Partner. Schedule 5.01 sets forth the names and the Capital Accounts of the Partners as of the date of this Agreement immediately following the Opco Partnership Division (and, with respect to Newmark Holdings, the Holdings Partnership Contribution), subject to adjustment to reflect the IPO Pricing, or as otherwise deemed necessary or appropriate by the General Partner to effect the intent of the Partners. Schedule 5.01 shall be amended pursuant to Section 1.03 to reflect any change in the identity or Capital Accounts in accordance with this Agreement.

(ii) In return for such initial contributions, Interests shall be or have been issued or Transferred to the Partners as provided on Schedule 5.01.

(iii) On the date of this Agreement, pursuant to the terms as set forth in the Separation Agreement (including the Separation Steps Plan) and the Newmark SAE Agreement, (A) pursuant to the Opco Partnership Distribution, BGC U.S. Opco (1) effected a distribution of all its assets and liabilities attributable to the Transferred Business to certain of its partners pursuant to which (a) BGC Holdings and BGC Partners received all of the Transferred Assets held by BGC U.S. Opco, and BGC Holdings and BGC Partners assumed from BGC U.S. Opco all of its Transferred Liabilities (not including, for the avoidance of doubt, the assets and liabilities described in clause (b)) and (b) each SAE Subsidiary (x) received BGC U.S. Opco’s (and its partners’) beneficial ownership interest in respect of the Transferred Assets legal title to

which is held by such SAE Subsidiary (including all of the beneficial ownership interests in respect of assets previously contributed (or deemed contributed) to or in respect of BGC U.S. Opco by such SAE Subsidiary), and (y) assumed all obligations in respect of all Transferred Liabilities of such SAE Subsidiary, (2) distributed all of the outstanding equity interests in the General Partner to BGC Holdings, (3) immediately following the distribution described in clause (1) and (2) above, effected a recapitalization of BGC U.S. Opco Units such that the number of BGC U.S. Opco Units held by each continuing partner of BGC U.S. Opco immediately after such distribution reflects the percentage interest of each continuing partner of BGC U.S. Opco, as adjusted, in accordance with the agreement of such partners, to give effect to such distribution, and (B) pursuant to the Opco Partnership Contribution, the partners of BGC U.S. Opco that received Transferred Assets (or a beneficial interest in or in respect of Transferred Assets) in the Opco Partnership Distribution contributed such Transferred Assets (or beneficial interest in Transferred Assets), other than the Limited Partnership Interests and equity interests in the General Partner, to or in respect of the Partnership in exchange for Limited Partnership Interests, and the Partnership accepted and assumed the Transferred Liabilities (or obligations in respect of Transferred Liabilities) that were accepted and assumed by such partners of BGC U.S. Opco pursuant to the Opco Partnership Distribution.

(iv) The parties shall treat the transactions described in Section 5.01(b)(iii), taken together, as a division under the “assets-up form” of BGC U.S. Opco pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.708-1(d)(3)(ii) in which no gain or loss, other than any gain required to be recognized by any partner of BGC U.S. Opco or BGC Holdings, pursuant to Sections 704(c)(1)(B) or Section 737 of the Code or with respect to any cash received or deemed received (other than the Newmark Opco Debt Repayment), is recognized to any extent, except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a)(1) of the Code.

(v) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(b)(i), no capital contributions shall be required (A) unless otherwise determined by the General Partner and agreed to by the contributing Partner, or (B) unless otherwise determined by the General Partner in connection with the admission of a new Partner or the issuance of additional Interests to a Partner.

(vi) The Partnership may invest or cause to be invested all amounts received by the Partnership as capital contributions in its sole and absolute discretion.

Section 5.02. Withdrawals; Return on Capital. No Partner shall be entitled to withdraw or otherwise receive any distributions in respect of any Interest (including the associated Units, Non-Participating Units or Capital), except as provided in Section 6.01 or Section 8.02. The Partners shall not be entitled to any return on their Capital.

Section 5.03. Maintenance of Capital Accounts. As of the end of each Accounting Period, the balance in each Partner’s Capital Account shall be adjusted by (a) increasing such balance by (i) such Partner’s allocable share of each item of the Partnership’s income and gain for such Accounting Period (allocated in accordance with Section 5.04(a)) and (ii) the amount of cash or the fair market value of other property (determined in accordance with Section 5.05) contributed to the Partnership by such Partner in respect of such Partner’s related Interest during

such Accounting Period, net of liabilities assumed by the Partnership with respect to such other property, and (b) decreasing such balance by (i) the amount of cash or the fair market value of other property (determined in accordance with Section 5.05) distributed to such Partner in respect of such class of Interest associated with such Capital Account pursuant to this Agreement, net of liabilities (if any) assumed by such Partner with respect to such other property, and (ii) such Partner’s allocable share of each item of the Partnership’s deduction and loss for such Accounting Period (allocated in accordance with Section 5.04(a)). The balances in each Partner’s Capital Account shall be adjusted at the time and in the manner permitted by the capital accounting rules of the Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f). The foregoing and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

(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).

(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 proviso of Section 5.04(a), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its adjusted value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder. Allocations required by Section 704(c) of the Code shall be made using the “traditional method” described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b).

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

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

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.

(a) The Partnership shall at all times keep or cause to be kept true and complete records and books of account, which records and books shall be maintained in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such records and books of account shall be kept at the principal place of business of the Partnership by the General Partner. The Limited Partners shall have the right to gain access to all such records and books of account (including schedules thereto) for inspection and view (at such reasonable times as the General Partner shall determine) for any purpose reasonably related to their Interests. The Partnership’s accounts shall be maintained in U.S. dollars.

(b) The Partnership’s fiscal year shall begin on January 1 and end on December 31 of each year, or shall be such other period designated by the General Partner (subject to compliance with the terms of the Separation Agreement).

(c) The Partnership’s auditors shall be an independent accounting firm of international reputation to be appointed from time to time by the General Partner (subject to compliance with the terms of the Separation Agreement). The Partnership’s auditors shall be entitled to receive promptly such information, accounts and explanations from the General Partner and each Partner that they deem reasonably necessary to carry out their duties. The Partners shall provide such financial, tax and other information to the Partnership as may be reasonably necessary and appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Partnership.

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

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

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).

Section 6.01. Distributions in Respect of Partnership Interests. Subject to the remaining sentence of this Section 6.01, the Partnership shall distribute to each Partner from such Partner’s Capital Account (a) on or prior to each Estimated Tax Due Date such Partner’s Estimated Proportionate Quarterly Tax Distribution for such fiscal quarter, 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. 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.

Section 7.01. Transfers Generally Prohibited. No Partner may Transfer or agree or otherwise commit to Transfer all or any portion of, or any of rights, title and interest in and to, its Interest, except as permitted by the terms and conditions set forth in this Article VII. The Schedules shall be revised pursuant to Section 1.03 from time to time to reflect any change in the Partners or Interests to reflect any Transfer permitted by this Article VII.

(a) Limited Partnership Interests. No Limited Partner (other than the Special Voting Limited Partner, which shall be governed by Section 7.02(b)) may Transfer or agree or otherwise commit to Transfer all or any portion of, or any right, title and interest in and to, its Limited Partnership Interest (other than the Special Voting Limited Partner, which shall be governed by Section 7.02(b)), except any such Transfer (i) pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(ii) or the Separation; (ii) if such Limited Partner shall be a member of the Newmark Inc.

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

(b) Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest. The Special Voting Limited Partner may not Transfer or agree or otherwise commit to Transfer all or any portion of, or any right, title and interest in and to, its Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest, except any such Transfer (i) to a wholly owned Subsidiary of Newmark Holdings; provided that, in the event that such transferee shall cease to be a wholly owned Subsidiary of Newmark Holdings, the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest shall automatically be Transferred to Newmark Holdings, without the requirement of any further action on the part of the Partnership, Newmark Holdings or any other Person; or (ii) in connection with the Separation. Upon removal of any Special Voting Limited Partner, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Voting Limited Partnership Interest 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.

The admission of the new General Partner shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the effectiveness of the resignation of the resigning General Partner, and shall otherwise have the effects set forth in Section 4.03(a)(iii). Upon removal of any General Partner, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the General Partnership Interest shall be transferred to the Person being admitted as the new General Partner, simultaneously with admission and without the requirement of any action on the part of the General Partner being removed or any other Person.

The aggregate purchase price that the Partnership shall pay to Newmark Holdings in such redemption shall be an amount of cash equal to the amount required by Newmark Holdings to redeem or purchase such Working Partner Interest; provided that, upon mutual agreement of the general partner of Newmark Holdings and the General Partner, the Partnership may, in lieu of cash, pay all or a portion of this amount in Publicly Traded Shares, valued at the average of the closing prices of such shares (as reported by the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other national

securities exchange or quotation system on which such shares are then listed or quoted) during the 10-trading-day period immediately preceding each payment (or by such other fair and reasonable pricing method as they may agree), or other property valued at its then-fair market value, as determined by them.

(c) REU Interests. Upon any redemption or purchase by Newmark Holdings of any REU Interest pursuant to Section 12.03 or 12.04 of the Newmark Holdings Limited Partnership Agreement, Newmark Holdings shall cause the Partnership to redeem and purchase from Newmark Holdings a number of Units (and the associated Capital) equal to (A) the number of Newmark Holdings Units underlying the redeemed or purchased REU Interest, multiplied by (B) the Newmark Holdings Ratio as of immediately prior to the redemption or purchase of such REU Interest.

The aggregate purchase price that the Partnership shall pay to Newmark in such redemption shall be an amount of cash equal to the gross amount paid or expected to be paid by Newmark to repurchase its stock or take similar action, including any commissions paid.

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

(a) an election to dissolve the Partnership made by the General Partner; provided that such dissolution shall require the prior approval of the Limited Partners (by affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest);

(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 partner of the Partnership who is hereby authorized to and does carry on the business of the Partnership, or (ii) within 90 days after the occurrence of such event, a majority of the Limited Partners agree in writing or vote to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such event, if required, of one or more additional general partners of the Partnership; or

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.

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.

(a) In the event of a dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 9.01, the Partnership shall apply and distribute the proceeds of 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.

The Partnership’s existence as a separate legal entity shall continue until cancellation of the Certificate of Limited Partnership as provided in the Act.

Section 9.04. Reconstitution. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall impair, restrict or limit the rights and powers of the Partners under the laws of the State of Delaware and any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership is doing business to reform and reconstitute themselves as a limited partnership following dissolution of the Partnership either under provisions identical to those set forth herein or any others which they may deem appropriate.

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.

(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 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 Newmark by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined) or (y) if a quorum of the Board of Directors of Newmark consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a

written opinion to the Board of Directors of Newmark, a copy of which shall be delivered to the claimant, or (z) if a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest. In the event that the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel at the request of the claimant, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors of Newmark unless there shall have occurred within two years prior to the date of the commencement of the action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is claimed a “Change of Control” as defined in the Newmark Group, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan, in which case the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the claimant unless the claimant shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors of Newmark. If it is so determined that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, payment to the claimant shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination.

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

(d) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10.02(b) that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, the Partnership shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 10.02(c).

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

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

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

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

(i) “Disinterested Director” means a director of Newmark who is not and was not a party to the matter in respect of which indemnification is sought by the claimant.

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

(j) Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the Partnership under this Section 10.02 shall be in writing and either delivered in person or sent by facsimile, overnight mail or courier service, or certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the General Partner and shall be effective only upon receipt by the General Partner.

Section 10.03. Insurance. The Partnership may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Partnership or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL if the Partnership were a corporation organized under

the DGCL. To the extent that the Partnership maintains any policy or policies providing such insurance, each such director or officer, and each such agent or employee to which rights of indemnification have been granted as provided in Section 10.02 shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage thereunder for any such director, officer, employee or agent.

Section 10.04. Subrogation. In the event of payment of indemnification to a Person described in Section 10.02, the Partnership shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to any right of recovery such person may have and such person, as a condition of receiving indemnification from the Partnership, shall execute all documents and do all things that the Partnership may deem necessary or desirable to perfect such right of recovery, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Partnership effectively to enforce any such recovery.

Section 10.05. No Duplication of Payments. The Partnership shall not be liable under this Article X to make any payment in connection with any claim made against a Person described in Section 10.02 to the extent such Person has otherwise received payment (under any insurance policy or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise payable as indemnity hereunder.

Section 10.06. Survival. This Article X shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.01. Amendments. Except as provided in Section 1.03 with respect to this Agreement, the Certificate of Limited Partnership and this Agreement may not be amended except with (and any such amendment shall be authorized upon obtaining) the approval of each of the General Partner and the Limited Partners (by the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest); provided that this Agreement shall not be amended to (i) amend any provisions which require the consent of a specified percentage in interest of the Limited Partners without the consent of that specified percentage in interest of the Limited Partners; (ii) alter the interest of any Partner in the amount or timing of distributions or the allocation of profits, losses or credits (other than any such alteration caused by the acquisition of additional Units by any Partner or the issuance of additional Units to any Person pursuant to this Agreement or as otherwise expressly provided herein), if such alteration would either (A) materially adversely affect the economic interest of a Partner in the Partnership or (B) materially adversely affect the value of Interests, in each case without the consent of (x) the Partners holding at least two-thirds of all Units in the case of an amendment applying in a substantially similar manner to all classes of Interests or (y) two-thirds in interest of the affected class or classes of the Partners in the case of any other amendment; or (iii) amend this Agreement to alter the Special Voting Limited Partner’s ability to remove a General Partner; provided, however, that the General Partner may authorize, without further approval of any other Person or group, (1) any amendment to this Agreement to correct any technicality, incorrect statement or error apparent on the face hereof in order to further the intent of the parties hereto or (2) correction of any formality or error apparent on the face hereof or incorrect statement or defect in the execution hereof. Any merger or consolidation of the

Partnership with any third party that shall amend or otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement shall require the approval of the Persons referred to above to the extent the approval of such Persons would have been required had such amendment or modification been effected by an amendment to this Agreement.

Section 11.02. Benefits of Agreement. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditor of the Partnership or by any creditor of any of the Partners. Except as provided in Article X with respect to Persons entitled to indemnification pursuant to such Article and except for any consent right provided to Cantor as set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any right in any Person not a party hereto, and this instrument shall not be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in part for the benefit of any third person.

Section 11.03. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any Partner or other Person under the provisions of the Act or this Agreement, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the Person or Persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the Partners (if any shall be called) or the General Partner need be specified in any waiver of notice of such meeting.

(a) Each of the Partners agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that all Actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Partnership’s affairs, the rights or interests of the Partners or the estate of any deceased Partner (to the extent that they are related to any of the foregoing), or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any breach or termination or alleged breach or termination of this Agreement, shall be tried and determined exclusively in the state or federal courts in the State of Delaware, and each of the Partners hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such Action for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the Partners hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right it may have to assert, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any such Action: (i) any claim that it is not subject to personal jurisdiction in the aforesaid courts for any reason; (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts; (iii) that (A) any of the aforesaid courts is an inconvenient or inappropriate forum for such Action, or (B) venue is not proper in any of the aforesaid courts; and (iv) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof or thereof, may not be enforced in or by any of the aforesaid courts. With respect to any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any obligation hereunder, each Partner irrevocably and unconditionally, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (x) agrees to appoint promptly upon request from the Partnership authorized agents for the purpose of receiving service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in Wilmington, Delaware; (y) consents to service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in such jurisdictions; and (z) consents to service of process by mailing a copy thereof to the address of the Partner determined under Section 11.07 by U.S. registered or certified mail, by the closest foreign equivalent of registered or certified mail, by a recognized overnight delivery service, by service upon any agent specified pursuant to clause (x) above, or by any other manner permitted by applicable law.

(b) EACH PARTNER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST OR OBTAIN A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING GOVERNED BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR PERTAINING TO THE MATTERS GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT. “MATTERS GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT” SHALL INCLUDE ANY AND ALL MATTERS AND AGREEMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY DISPUTES ARISING WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH MATTERS AND AGREEMENTS.

(c) The Partners acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Partnership shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions or other equitable relief to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Partnership may be entitled by law or equity. Each Partner agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief and agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

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 Newmark 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.

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.

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

(a) None of any Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company or any Newmark Holdings 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings 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 Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company or any Newmark Holdings 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings Company or any of their respective Representatives has a direct or indirect interest in such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction, and any Newmark Company, any BGC

Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Holdings Company or any of their respective Representatives (i) shall have fully satisfied and fulfilled its duties and obligations to the Partnership and the holders of Interests with respect thereto; and (ii) shall not be liable to the Partnership or the holders of Interests for any breach of any duty or obligation by reason of the entering into, performance or consummation of any such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction, if:

(1) such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction is approved by the Board of Directors of Newmark or any committee thereof by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even if the disinterested directors constitute less than a quorum; or

(2) such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction, judged according to the circumstances at the time of the commitment, is fair to the Partnership;

it being understood that, although each of (1) and (2) above shall be sufficient to show that any Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company or Newmark Holdings Company or any of their respective Representatives (i) shall have fully satisfied and fulfilled its duties and obligations to the Partnership and the holders of Interests with respect thereto; and (ii) shall not be liable to the Partnership or the holders of Interests for any breach of any duty or obligation by reason of the entering into, performance or consummation of any such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction, none of (1) or (2) above shall be required to be satisfied for such showing.

All directors of Newmark may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors of Newmark or of a committee thereof that authorizes such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction.

Directors of the General Partner who are also directors or officers of any Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company or any Newmark Holdings Company or any of their respective Representatives shall not owe or be liable for breach of any fiduciary duty to the Partnership or any of holders of Interests for any action taken by any Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company or any Newmark Holdings Company or their respective Representatives, in their capacity as a holder of Interests or Affiliate of the Partnership.

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

(b) None of any Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, any Newmark Holdings Company or any of their respective Representatives shall owe any duty to refrain from (i) engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as the

Partnership and its Representatives or (ii) doing business with any of the Partnership’s or its Representatives’ clients or customers, in each case regardless of whether such Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings Company or Representative is also a Representative of the Partnership. In the event that any Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Holdings Company or any of their respective Representatives acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a Corporate Opportunity for any Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Holdings Company or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and the Partnership or any of its Representatives, on the other hand, such Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings Company or Representatives, as the case may be, shall have no duty to communicate or offer such Corporate Opportunity to the Partnership or its Representatives, regardless of whether such Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings Company or Representative is also a Representative of the Partnership, subject to Section 11.15(c). None of any Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Holdings 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 Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, any Newmark Holdings 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company, Newmark Holdings Company or Representative is also a Representative of the Partnership, subject to Section 11.15(c).

(c) If a third party presents a Corporate Opportunity to a person who is both a Representative of the Partnership and a Representative of a Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company and/or Newmark Holdings 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 Newmark Company, any BGC Partners Company, any Cantor Company, and/or any Newmark Holdings 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 Newmark Company, BGC Partners Company, Cantor Company and/or Newmark Holdings 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.

(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 Newmark Holdings Non-Participating Units. The Partnership shall indemnify and reimburse Newmark Holdings for any payment made by Newmark Holdings in respect of any Newmark Holdings Non-Participating Unit.

Section 11.18. Effectiveness. The Original Limited Partnership Agreement was effective for all financial and accounting purposes as of September 27, 2017. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed by the general partner and the limited partners as of the day and year first written above.

(a) “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” shall mean, with respect to any Partner, the deficit balance, if any, in such Partner’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant fiscal year, after giving effect to the following adjustments:

(i) Credit to such Capital Account any amounts that such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences in Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), and

(ii) Debit to such Capital Account the items described in Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) and 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6).

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

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

(c) “Partner Nonrecourse Debt” has the meaning attributed to the term “partner nonrecourse debt” in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(b)(4).

(d) “Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain” shall mean an amount, with respect to each Partner Nonrecourse Debt, equal to the Partnership Minimum Gain that would result if such Partner Nonrecourse Debt were treated as a Nonrecourse Liability, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(i)(3).

(e) “Partner Nonrecourse Deductions” has the meaning attributed to the term “partner nonrecourse deductions” in Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-2(i)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(2).

(f) “Nonrecourse Deductions” has the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(b)(1).

(g) “Nonrecourse Liability” has the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(b)(3).

(h) “Regulatory Allocations” has the meaning set forth in Section 2(h) of this Exhibit A.

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

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.

(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 Section 2(a) through 2(h) of this Exhibit A and Section 3 of this Exhibit A (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Tax Matters Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance (and the amount distributable to each Partner pursuant to Section 6.01 of this Agreement) is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had (and the amount that would have been distributable to such Partner pursuant to Section 6.01 of this Agreement) if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Section 5.04(a) of this Agreement. In exercising discretion with respect to such offsetting special allocations, the Tax Matters Partner shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 2(a) and 2(b) of this Exhibit A that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 2(e) and 2(f) of this Exhibit A.

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

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