The Cantor Credit Agreement provides for each party or its subsidiaries to make loans to the other party or its subsidiaries (with respect to Cantor, other than Newmark Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries) in the lender?s discretion up to an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million from each other from time to time.

The applicable margin with respect to Term SOFR borrowings in (a) above will range from 1.25% to 2.00% depending upon the Company?s credit rating, and with respect to base rate borrowings in (b) above will range from 0.25% to 1.00% depending upon the Company?s credit rating.
