Effective Date; Termination of Prior Intercompany Tax Allocation Agreements This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, (i) all prior intercompany Tax allocation agreements or arrangements solely between or among BGC Partners and/or any of its Subsidiaries shall be terminated, and (ii) amounts due under such agreements as of the date on which the Effective Time occurs shall be settled. Upon such termination and settlement, no further payments by or to the BGC Group, or by or to the Newmark Group, with respect to such agreements shall be made, and all other rights and obligations resulting from such agreements between the Companies and their Affiliates shall cease at such time. Any payments pursuant to such agreements shall be disregarded for purposes of computing amounts due under this Agreement; provided, that to the extent appropriate, as determined by BGC Partners, payments made pursuant to such agreements shall be credited to the Newmark Entities or the BGC Entities, respectively, in computing their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement, in the event that such payments relate to a Tax liability that is the subject matter of this Agreement for a Tax Period that is the subject matter of this Agreement.
Non-Foreign Status Seller is not a “foreign person” as that term is used in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2.
Effect of Termination of Service on Restricted Stock Award 10.1 This Restricted Stock Award will vest as follows:
Certification of Non-Foreign Status Each Limited Partner or transferee of an Interest or a portion of an Interest from a Limited Partner who or that is admitted to the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement will certify, upon admission to the Partnership and at any other time as the General Partner may request, whether the Limited Partner or transferee is a “United States Person” within the meaning of the Code on forms to be provided by the Partnership, and will notify the Partnership within 30 days of any change in the status of the Limited Partner or transferee. Any Limited Partner or transferee who or that fails to provide certification when requested to do so by the General Partner may be treated as a non-United States Person for purposes of U.S. Federal tax withholding.
Stock Option Agreement Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation.
Grant of Non-Qualified Options The Company hereby irrevocably grants to the Optionee, as a matter of separate agreement and not in lieu of salary or other compensation for services, the right and option to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of [●] shares of authorized but unissued or treasury common stock of the Company (the “Options”) on the terms and conditions herein set forth. The Common Stock shall be unregistered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), unless the Company voluntarily files a registration statement covering such shares of Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Options are not intended to be Incentive Stock Options as defined by Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This Agreement replaces any stock option agreement or offer letter previously provided to the Optionee, if any, with respect to the Options.
Certificate of Non-Foreign Status Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provides that under specified circumstances, a transferee of a United States real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For United States tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a United States real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the real property interest and not the disregarded entity. To inform (the “Transferee”), that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a United States real property interest by (the “Transferor”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following:

Stock Options and Restricted Stock In the event that (a) USPI elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5, (b) there is a “Change of Control Event” (as defined below) or (c) USPI terminates Employee without the notice required under Section 5 or without Cause under Section 7, then in each such event, all USPI stock options held by Employee and all restricted stock awards made to him/her by USPI (including issued subject to forfeiture) shall thereupon automatically be amended so as to (i) cause to vest, immediately prior to the date of such Change in Control Event or such termination of employment, all then unvested stock options and restricted stock awards, and (ii) provide Employee 90 days to exercise such options (or such greater period as may be provided by the terms of such options). For purposes of the foregoing, the term “Change of Control Event” shall mean (A) a consolidation or merger of USPI with or into any other corporation (other than a merger which will result in the voting capital stock of USPI outstanding immediately before the effective date of such consolidation or merger being converted into more than 50% of the voting capital stock of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such consolidation or merger), (B) a sale of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company as an entirety in a single transaction or in a series or related transactions to any other “person” or (C) the acquisition of “beneficial ownership” by any “person” or “group” of voting stock of the Company representing more than 50% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of such voting stock, whether by way of merger of consolidation or otherwise. As used herein, (x) the terms “person” and “group” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not applicable, (y) the term “beneficial owner” shall have the meaning set forth in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, whether or not applicable, except that a person shall be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all shares that any such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or upon the occurrence of certain events, and (z) any “person” or “group” will be deemed to beneficially own any voting stock so long as such person or group beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate a majority of the voting stock of a registered holder of such voting stock.
No Oral Modification, Waiver, Cancellation or Discharge This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by both the Company and the Executive. No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent given by the Company on any one occasion shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any other occasion.
