annual retainer of $160,000 in quarterly installments, following the end of each quarter of service. Of this amount, 40% (or $64,000) of the annual retainer is paid in cash and 60% (or $96,000) is paid in deferred stock units (&#147;DSUs&#148;).
Instead of receiving a cash payment, non-management directors may elect to have 100% of their annual retainer paid in DSUs, provided, however, that no more than 25,000 DSUs may be granted to any non-management director in any one calendar year
pursuant to the terms of the 2004 Genworth Financial, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan under which the DSUs are awarded. To the extent this limit would be exceeded, the remainder of a director&#146;s annual retainer will be paid in cash. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Deferred Stock Units</I>. Each DSU represents the right to receive one share of our common stock in the future. DSUs are granted at the end of each
quarter of service and are credited to a notional account maintained by us in the recipient&#146;s name. The number of DSUs granted is determined by dividing the DSU value to be delivered by the fair market value of our common stock on the date of
grant. DSUs accumulate regular quarterly dividends which are reinvested in additional DSUs. The DSUs will be paid out beginning one year after the director leaves the Board in a single payment or in payments over ten years, at the election of the
director. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Fees for Lead Director. </I>In February 2009, the Board of Directors created the position of Lead Director. As additional
compensation for services as Lead Director, the Lead Director receives an annual cash retainer of $20,000. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Fees for Committee Chairs.

pursuant to the contribution guidelines established by the Genworth Foundation. Each non-management director is eligible for the matching of charitable contributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis, up to a maximum matching contribution of $15,000
during any calendar year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Reimbursement of Certain Expenses. </I>Non-management directors are reimbursed for travel expenses to attend
Board and committee meetings and to attend director education seminars, in accordance with policies approved from time to time. </FONT></P>
