Article II

Demand Registrations

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

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

-5-

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

Article III

Piggy-back Registrations

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

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

-6-

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

Article IV

(l) take all other actions in connection therewith as are reasonably necessary or desirable to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and, in the case of an underwritten offering: (i) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter(s) (such agreement to contain standard and customary indemnities, representations, warranties and other agreements of or from Newmark, as the case may be); (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to Newmark (which, if reasonably acceptable to the underwriter(s), may be Newmark’s inside counsel) addressed to the underwriter(s), such opinions to be in customary form; and (iii) obtain “comfort” letters from Newmark’s independent certified public accountants addressed to the underwriter(s), such letters to be in customary form;

the other hand (such Person or Persons, the “Indemnifying Party”), give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its or their obligations under this Article VI, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in accordance with this Section 6.3, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Article VI for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable cost of investigation; provided, further, that if, in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim, then such Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ one firm of attorneys at the Indemnifying Party’s expense to represent such Indemnified Party. No Indemnified Party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent to such judgment or settlement, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

Section 6.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article VI is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under this Article VI, then each Indemnifying Party shall have a several and not joint obligation to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of the Damages referred to in this Article VI in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the offering that resulted in such Damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether an untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or an omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statements or omission. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.4 to the contrary, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount pursuant to this Section 6.4 in excess of the amount by which (i) the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the misstatement or omission relates exceeds (ii) the amount of any Damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such misstatement or omission. Newmark and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6.4 were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6.4. The amount paid by an Indemnified Party as a

-13-

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

Article VII

Rule 144

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

Article VIII

Underwritten Registrations

Section 8.1 Selection of Underwriter(s).

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

-14-

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

Article IX

Holdback Agreements

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