 GENWORTH FINANCIAL CANADA 
 STOCK SAVINGS PLAN 

 Amended and restated as of December 10, 2009 







 GENWORTH FINANCIAL CANADA 
 STOCK SAVINGS PLAN 
 PREFACE 

Effective June 4, 2006, the Genworth Financial Canada Stock Savings Plan (the “Plan”) was established as a sub-plan to the 2004 Genworth
Financial, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). The purpose of the Plan was to provide eligible employees of participating Canadian affiliates of Genworth Financial, Inc. with the opportunity to invest in shares of
Class A common stock of Genworth Financial, Inc. (“Genworth Stock”) on a regular basis by payroll deduction, and to provide an incentive to participate in the Plan by providing participating employees with matching contributions from
their employer out of accumulated undistributed profits. 
 In connection with the initial public offering of Genworth MI Canada Inc., and
effective as of July 7, 2009, the Plan was suspended with respect to future participation, and no additional employee contributions or employer matching contributions are permitted following such date. 
 As originally adopted, the shares of Class A common stock of Genworth Financial, Inc. (“Genworth Stock”) that could be purchased and
allocated to participants’ accounts pursuant to this Plan were deemed to be equity awards granted under the Omnibus Plan as “Other Stock-Based Awards,” subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Plan, which terms and
conditions are incorporated into and made a part of this Plan. In the event of any actual or alleged conflict between the provisions of the Omnibus Plan and the provisions of this Plan with respect to such awards, the provisions of the Omnibus Plan
shall be controlling and determinative. 
 From the date of its establishment, it has been intended that the Plan qualify as an Employees Profit
Sharing Plan under the Income Tax Act (Canada).

 - 10 - 









	 	(b)	Allocation to Members’ Accounts 

 All purchases of Genworth Stock shall be made to the full extent of the funds available therefor, net of any brokerage commissions incurred and any taxes levied or assessed in connection therewith.
Genworth Stock purchased on a given day shall be allocated to each affected Member’s Account proportionately based on the ratio of the amount allocated on such day to the Member’s Account available to purchase Genworth Stock to the total
amount allocated on such day to all of the affected Members’ Accounts available to purchase Genworth Stock. Any fractional share shall be allocated to a Member’s Account to not less than four decimal places. For the purposes of the Income
Tax Act (Canada), all profits and capital gains made and capital losses sustained by the Trust Fund shall be allocated by the Trustee to the appropriate Member’s Account not later than December 31 of the Plan Year in which they are made or
sustained, as the case may be. 
  

	 	(c)	Designation as Other Stock-Based Awards 

 The shares of Genworth Stock (including fractional shares) allocated to each Member’s Account shall be deemed to be an Other Stock-Based Award to such Member made under the Omnibus Plan, and the
aggregate number of shares so allocated shall be debited against the pool of shares of Genworth Stock available for grants under the Omnibus Plan, as of the date of such allocation. 
  

	5.5	Genworth Stock Purchases From and Sales to Other Members’ Accounts 

 If on a given day the Trustee has funds available to purchase Genworth Stock on behalf of one or more Members’ Accounts and is required,
pursuant to Article 9, to sell Genworth Stock on behalf of one or more Members’ Accounts, the Trustee shall not be obligated to effect a purchase and sale between such Members’ Accounts. 
  

	5.6	Genworth Stock Record Ownership 

 All Genworth Stock allocated to a Member’s Account shall be registered in the name of the Trustee or, subject to the prior written approval of the Company, in the name of the Trustee’s nominee
until sold or withdrawn in kind in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.

 Each Member shall
have the right and shall be afforded the opportunity to instruct the Trustee in writing how to vote, on any issue coming before owners of Genworth Stock, with respect to the shares of Genworth Stock allocated to the Member’s Account at the
record date for any meeting of share owners. Instructions by a Member to the Trustee shall be in such form and delivered pursuant to such regulations as the Company may prescribe, and any such instructions to the Trustee shall remain in the strict
confidence of the Trustee. If the Trustee does not receive timely and proper instructions from a Member regarding the voting of Genworth Stock allocated to the Member’s Account, such Genworth Stock shall not be voted. Similar procedures shall
apply to any consent solicitation of Genworth share owners. 
  

	 	(b)	Tender and Exchange Offers 

 Each Member shall have the right and shall be afforded the opportunity to instruct the Trustee in writing as to the manner in which to respond to each tender or exchange offer for any or all Genworth Stock allocated to the Member’s

 - 17 - 









	 	(ii)	in kind, consisting of 100% of the total number of whole shares of Genworth Stock then allocated to the Member’s Account plus cash in lieu of any remaining

 In the event of any 100% Distribution in kind in respect of which cash is to be paid in lieu of a fractional share of Genworth Stock pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.4, the amount of such cash shall be
based on the average per-share sales price of Genworth Stock resulting from other sales under the Plan within the two-week period preceding the date of the Distribution or, if there were no such sales during such period, based on the average of the
high and low sales prices of a share of Genworth Stock in consolidated transactions in New York Stock Exchange-listed securities reported for the last trading day of the first week of such period.

a Member’s Account pending the purchase of additional shares of Genworth Stock, the Trustee shall continue to use such uninvested amounts to purchase such additional shares of Genworth Stock, allocate such additional shares to the Member’s
Account and, upon such allocation, treat such shares as being subject to an immediate 100% Distribution pursuant to the same terms as the original 100% Distribution that was in process while the uninvested amounts were pending investment.
