                  GENWORTH LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
             GUARANTEED MINIMUM WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT FOR LIFE RIDER

General Features

This rider provides for a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit for the life of
the Annuitant(s). The Withdrawal Base and Roll-Up Value on the Contract Date
are equal to the initial Purchase Payment. The Benefit Base is used to
calculate the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit. The Benefit Base does not
impact the Contract Value, Surrender Value, Death Benefit or Income Payment
under the Contract. Gross Withdrawals taken under this rider reduce the
Contract Value by the amount of the Gross Withdrawal. This rider is only
available for Annuitant(s) [age 45 through age 85] at the time the Contract is
issued or when an Annuitant is added to the Contract. There is a charge for
this rider that is calculated [quarterly] as a percentage of the Benefit Base
and deducted [quarterly] from the Contract Value.

In order to obtain the full benefit described in this rider, your withdrawals
must be limited. You must allocate Contract Value to the prescribed Investment
Strategy. You may terminate this rider apart from the Contract on any Contract
anniversary on or after the [5/th/] Contract anniversary (see When this Rider
is Effective on page 6).

The Benefit Base and the Withdrawal Factor are used to determine the Withdrawal
Limit. Any additional Purchase Payment will be applied to the Withdrawal Base
and may be applied to the Roll-Up Value on the Valuation Day the additional
Purchase Payment is received (see Roll-Up Value and Purchase Payments on page
4). You may reset your Withdrawal Base to the Contract Value subject to the
terms and requirements described below (see Reset on page 4).

The Withdrawal Limit is the total amount that you may withdraw in a Benefit
Year without reducing the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit provided under
this rider. The Withdrawal Limit equals the Benefit Base multiplied by the
Withdrawal Factor (see Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit on page 3). The
Withdrawal Factor is established based on the age of the younger Annuitant on
the earlier of the Valuation Day of the first Gross Withdrawal and the
Valuation Day when the Contract Value is reduced to [$100]. If a Gross
Withdrawal plus all prior Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year is in excess of
the Withdrawal Limit, your Withdrawal Base and Roll-Up Value are reduced (see
Excess Withdrawals on page 5).

The Roll-Up Value is an amount used to calculate the Withdrawal Limit. The
Roll-Up Value may be adjusted based on the daily roll-up factor. On each
Contract anniversary, if the Withdrawal Base is greater than the current
Roll-Up Value, the Roll-Up Value will be increased to the Withdrawal Base. The
Roll-Up Value will continue to increase until the date of the first withdrawal
or the later of the [10/th/] anniversary of the Contract Date and the date the
older Annuitant turns age [65]. The Roll-Up Value will not increase after this
date.

On any Valuation Day you make a Gross Withdrawal, if that Gross Withdrawal plus
all prior Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year is in excess of the Withdrawal
Limit, your Roll-Up Value will be reduced to zero. After this date, additional
Purchase Payments will not increase the Roll-Up Value. The Roll-Up Value will
not increase after this date.

Subsequent Purchase Payment(s) applied to your Contract generally will adjust
your Withdrawal Base and may adjust your Roll-Up Value as described in the
Roll-Up Value section. We reserve the right not to adjust the Withdrawal Base
and/or the Roll-Up Value for any additional Purchase

Payment(s) in order to control future risks under this rider. If we decide not
to make adjustments, we will notify you [45] days prior to enacting this
restriction.

We will reset your Withdrawal Base to your Contract Value [on an annual
anniversary of the Contract Date] when your Contract Value is higher than the
Withdrawal Base. If this day is not a Valuation Day, the reset will occur on
the next Valuation Day. On the Valuation Day we reset your benefit, we will
reset the Investment Strategy to the current Investment Strategy and reset the
charges for this rider. The new charges, which may be higher than your previous
charges, will never exceed the maximum aggregate rider charge of 2.00%. The
reset date must be at least [12 months] after the later of the Contract Date
and the last reset date. Resets will occur automatically unless such automatic
resets are or have been terminated.

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, at the death of the last Annuitant, a
Death Benefit may be payable under this Contract. The amount of any Death
Benefit payable will be the greater of (a) and (b), where:

    (a)is the Death Benefit as calculated under the base Contract; and

    (b)is any amount payable by any other optional death benefit rider, if
       applicable.

The Death Benefit payable will be paid according to the distribution rules
under the Contract. All other Death Provisions under the Contract and any
optional death benefit riders, including distribution rules, apply.

All rider terms will have the same meaning as under the Contract, unless
otherwise stated.

Investment Strategy

You must allocate all Contract Value to the Investment Strategy. The Investment
Strategy options are shown on the Contract Data Pages and may include
Designated Subaccounts and/or Asset Allocation Models.

Reallocations

You may reallocate Contract Value within the Investment Strategy by submitting
a transfer request. We reserve the right to assess a charge for transfers in
accordance with the terms of the Contract to which this rider is attached. The
maximum transfer charge is shown on the Contract Data Pages.

On a monthly basis, we will rebalance Contract Value to the Subaccounts in
accordance with the percentages allocated. In addition, on any Valuation Day
after any transaction involving a withdrawal, receipt of a Purchase Payment or
a transfer of Contract Value, we will rebalance Contract Value to the
Subaccounts in accordance with the percentages allocated, unless you instruct
us otherwise. Your allocation instructions must always comply with the
Investment Strategy.

Allocations outside of the Investment Strategy are not allowed.

The Guarantee Account, if any, under the Contract will not be available as an
Investment Option under this rider for as long as this rider is in effect.

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit

If you limit total Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year to an amount no greater
than the Withdrawal Limit, then you will be eligible to receive total Gross
Withdrawals in each Benefit Year equal to the Withdrawal Limit until the last
death of an Annuitant.

Withdrawal Limit

The Withdrawal Limit is calculated on each Valuation Day. The Withdrawal Limit
equals the Benefit Base multiplied by the Withdrawal Factor.

The Withdrawal Factor is established based on the age of the younger Annuitant
on the earlier of the Valuation Day of the first Gross Withdrawal and the
Valuation Day when the Contract Value is reduced to [$100]. The Withdrawal
Factor percentages are shown on the Contract Data Pages.

Withdrawal Base

An amount used to establish the Withdrawal Limit. The Withdrawal Base on the
Contract Date is equal to the initial Purchase Payment. The Withdrawal Base may
change as a result of a Purchase Payment, withdrawal, or reset as described
below.

Roll-Up Value

The initial Roll-Up Value equals the initial Purchase Payment(s). We will
increase your Roll-Up Value on each day. The new Roll-Up Value is equal to the
sum of (a) and (b), multiplied by (c), where:

    (a)is the Roll-Up Value on the prior day;

    (b)is any Purchase Payment(s) made on the prior Valuation Day;

    (c)is the daily roll-up factor shown on the Contract Data Pages.

On each Contract anniversary, if the Withdrawal Base is greater than the
current Roll-Up Value, the Roll-Up Value will be increased to the Withdrawal
Base. The Roll-Up Value will continue to increase until the date of the first
withdrawal or the later of the [10/th/] anniversary of the Contract Date and
the date the older Annuitant turns age [65]. The Roll-Up Value will not
increase after this date.

On any Valuation Day you make a Gross Withdrawal, if that Gross Withdrawal plus
all prior Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year is in excess of the Withdrawal
Limit, your Roll-Up Value will be reduced to zero. The Roll-Up Value will not
increase after this date.

Purchase Payments

Any Purchase Payment applied to your Contract will adjust your Withdrawal Base
and may adjust your Roll-Up Value as described in the Roll-Up Value section
above. You must allocate all assets to the prescribed Investment Strategy.

We reserve the right to not adjust the Withdrawal Base, and/or the Roll-Up
Value for any additional Purchase Payments.

Reset of the Benefit

We will reset your Withdrawal Base to your Contract Value [on an annual
anniversary of the Contract Date] when your Contract Value is higher than the
Withdrawal Base. If this day is not a Valuation Day, the reset will occur on
the next Valuation Day. On the Valuation Day we reset your benefit, we will
reset the Investment Strategy to the current Investment Strategy and reset the
charges for this rider. The new charges, which may be higher than your previous
charges, will never exceed the maximum rider charge of 2.00%. The reset date
must be at least [12 months] after the later of the Contract Date and the last
reset date.

Resets will occur automatically unless such automatic resets are or have been
terminated as described below.

Automatic resets will continue until and unless:

    (a)you submit a written request to terminate automatic resets (such request
       must be received [at least 15 days] prior to the Contract anniversary
       date);

    (b)the Investment Strategy changes, allocations are affected, and we do not
       receive confirmation of new allocations;

    (c)the Annuity Commencement Date is reached; or

    (d)there is a change in ownership of the Contract.

NY5362 09/07                          4

<PAGE>

If automatic resets have terminated, you may later reinstate automatic resets
for any future Contract anniversary by submitting a written request to do so;
provided you are following the Investment Strategy and you have not reached the
Annuity Commencement Date.

Any change to the charges or to the required Investment Strategy for this rider
will be communicated to you in writing prior to the Contract anniversary date.
Upon reset, these changes will apply. The reset provision will end if, on the
Contract anniversary, any Annuitant is older than the maximum reset age as
shown on the Contract Data Pages.

Excess Withdrawals

If a Gross Withdrawal plus all prior Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year is in
excess of the Withdrawal Limit, your Withdrawal Base and Roll-Up Value are
reduced.

The new Withdrawal Base equals the lesser of (a) and (b), where:

    (a)is the Contract Value on the Valuation Day after the Gross Withdrawal;
       and

    (b)is the prior Withdrawal Base minus the Gross Withdrawal.

The new Roll-Up Value will be zero. Additional Purchase Payments will not
increase the Roll-Up Value.

If the total Gross Withdrawals in a Benefit Year are less than or equal to the
Withdrawal Limit, we will waive any surrender charge on the Gross Withdrawals.

Required Minimum Distributions

The Withdrawal Limit will be increased for any Benefit Year to the extent
necessary to meet any minimum distribution requirements (before death) under
federal tax law. This increase applies only to the required minimum
distribution based on the value of the Contract.

Reduction in Contract Value

After taking a withdrawal, your Contract Value may be less than the amount
required to keep your Contract in effect. In this event, or if your Contract
Value is reduced to [$100], the following will occur:

    .  If the Withdrawal Limit is less than [$100], we will pay you the
       greatest of the following:

       (a)the Contract Value; and

       (b)a lump sum equal to the present value of future lifetime payments in
          the amount of the Withdrawal Limit calculated using the [2000 Annuity
          Mortality Table] and an interest rate of [3%].

    .  If the Withdrawal Limit is greater than [$100], we will begin Income
       Payments. We will make payments of a fixed amount for the life of the
       Annuitant or, if there are Joint Annuitants, the last surviving
       Annuitant. The fixed amount payable annually will equal the most
       recently calculated Withdrawal Limit. We will make payments monthly
       unless agreed otherwise. If the monthly amount is less than [$100], we
       will reduce the frequency, to no less than annual, so that the payment
       will be at least [$100].

Death Provisions

At the death of the last Annuitant, a Death Benefit may be payable under the
Contract. The amount of any Death Benefit payable will
be the greater of (a) and (b), where:

    (a)is the Death Benefit as calculated under the base Contract; and

    (b)is any amount payable by any other optional death benefit rider, if
       applicable.

The Death Benefit payable will be paid according to the distribution rules
under the Contract. All other Death Provisions under the Contract and any
optional death benefit riders, including distribution rules, apply.

If the designated beneficiary is a surviving spouse who is not an Annuitant,
whose age is [45] through [85], and who elects to continue the Contract as the
new Owner, this rider will continue. The Withdrawal Base and Roll-Up Value for
the new Owner will be the Death Benefit determined as of the first Valuation
Day we receive at our [Service Center] due proof of death and all required
forms. The Withdrawal Factor for the new Owner will be based on the age of that
Owner on the date of the first Gross Withdrawal for that Owner.

If the designated beneficiary is a surviving spouse who is an Annuitant and who
elects to continue the Contract as the Owner, this rider will continue. The
Withdrawal Base and Roll-Up Value will be the same as it was under the Contract
for the deceased Owner. If no withdrawals were taken prior to the first
Valuation Day we receive due proof of death and all required forms at our
[Service Center], the Withdrawal Factor for the surviving spouse will be
established based on the age of the surviving spouse on the date of the first
Gross Withdrawal for the surviving spouse. Otherwise, the Withdrawal Factor
will continue as it was under the Contract for the deceased Owner.

If the surviving spouse cannot continue the rider, the rider and the rider
charge will terminate.

Rider Charge

A charge will be assessed for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit. The
charge for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit is calculated [quarterly]
as a percentage of the Benefit Base and deducted [quarterly] from the Contract
Value. The charges are shown on the Contract Data Pages. We may apply different
charges for the rider for a Contract that is a single Annuitant contract and a
Contract that is a Joint Annuitant contract. Once a Contract is a Joint
Annuitant contract and the Joint Annuitant rider charge is applied, the Joint
Annuitant rider charge will continue while the rider is in effect. If a spouse
is added as Joint Annuitant after the Contract is issued, new charges may
apply. These new charges may be higher than the charges previously applied to
your Contract. The charges for this rider will never exceed the maximum charge
of 2.00%. On the day the rider and/or the Contract terminates, the charges for
this rider will be calculated, prorata, and deducted.

When this Rider is Effective

The rider becomes effective on the Contract Date. It will remain in effect
while this Contract is in force and before the Annuity Commencement Date. You
may terminate this rider apart from the Contract on any Contract anniversary on
or after the [5/th/] Contract anniversary. Otherwise this rider and the
corresponding charges will terminate on the Annuity Commencement Date.
