                         INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITY
                          PAYMENT CHOICE ENDORSEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This endorsement amends the Contract to which it is attached by adding a
Definition to the DEFINITIONS section and an additional Payment Choice in the
[Distribution Rules When Death Occurs Before Income Payments Begin] under the
Death Provisions section. Any reference herein to Contract also means Policy.

DEFINITIONS

Inherited Owner - For purposes of this endorsement an Inherited Owner is any
Designated Beneficiary receiving death proceeds from the Contract or any
beneficiary receiving death proceeds from any other individual retirement plan.
A surviving spouse may elect to be treated as an Inherited Owner in lieu of
exercising spousal continuation. The Inherited Owner will be named the
Annuitant at election of the payment choice.

DEATH PROVISIONS

Payment Choices, in the [Distribution Rules When Death Occurs Before Income
Payments Begin], under the DEATH PROVISIONS section of the Contract is amended
by adding the following language:

     (4) Apply the death proceeds to provide for an annual payment equal to the
         Minimum Annual Income, described below. Payments will continue
         annually on the distribution date selected by the Inherited Owner,
         subject to Special Rules stated below until the death of the Inherited
         Owner or the Contract Value is reduced to $0. Upon death of the
         Inherited Owner, the person or entity named by the Inherited Owner or,
         if no one is named, the Inherited Owner's estate may receive the
         remaining Contract Value. The recipient may take the Contract Value as
         a lump sum or continue to receive the annual payment on the
         distribution date equal to the Minimum Annual Income until the
         Contract Value is reduced to $0.

         The Minimum Annual Income is the amount withdrawn each year to satisfy
         section 408(b)(3) of the Code. The Minimum Annual Income will be based
         on the applicable distribution period for required minimum
         distributions after death, as provided in section 1.401(a)(9)-5 A-5 of
         the Income Tax Regulations.

   Special Rules for this payment choice only:

   .   This payment choice cannot be selected if the Minimum Annual Income
       would be less than $100.

   .   The Inherited Owner must elect a distribution date on which payments
       will be made. If the Inherited Owner is the surviving spouse of the
       original IRA owner within the meaning of section 401(a)(9)(B)(iv) of the
       Code, then the first distribution date elected must be the later of
       either: (i) December 15/th/ of the year in which the deceased would have
       been age 70  1/2 or (ii) December 15/th/ of the year following the
       original IRA owner's death. If the Inherited Owner is not the surviving
       spouse of the original IRA owner, then the first distribution date
       elected must be within 350 days from the date of death. If the surviving
       spouse dies before the first distribution date, the first distribution
       date under this rider will be determined by treating death of the
       surviving spouse as death of the original IRA owner and the surviving
       spouse's Designated Beneficiary as the Inherited Owner.

                                      1

<PAGE>

   .   Amounts paid to satisfy the Minimum Annual Income will not be subject to
       surrender charges. Surrender charges will apply to amounts withdrawn
       above the Minimum Annual Income.

   .   Optional living benefit and death benefit riders are not available with
       this Payment Choice.

   .   Additional premiums may not be added with this Payment Choice.

Under this Payment Choice, the Contract will terminate upon payment of the
entire Contract Value.

                  GENWORTH LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
                   INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITY ENDORSEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The policy or contract ("Contract") to which this Endorsement is attached is
issued as an individual retirement annuity ("IRA") described in Section 408(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), and all provisions of the
Contract, as endorsed, shall be interpreted in accordance with the requirements
of that Section. Where the provisions of the Endorsement are inconsistent with
the provisions of the Contract, or any rider of the Contract, the provisions of
the Endorsement will control. Notwithstanding any provision contained therein
to the contrary, the Contract to which this Endorsement is attached is amended
as follows:

Article 1 - Owner

The Owner must be the sole Owner of the Contract. A Joint Owner cannot be
named. Also, except as otherwise permitted under the Code and applicable
regulations, the Owner cannot be changed. All distributions made while the
Owner is alive must be made to the Owner. All distributions made while the
Owner is alive must be made to the Owner. While living, the Owner will be the
Annuitant.

Article 2 - Nontransferable and Nonforfeitable

The Contract is established for the exclusive benefit of the Owner and his or
her beneficiaries. The interest of the Owner in this Contract is
nontransferable and, except as provided by law, is nonforfeitable. In
particular, the Contract may not be sold, assigned, discounted, or pledged as
collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an obligation or
for any other purpose to any person other than to the Company.

Article 3 - Premium Payments

Except in the case of a rollover contribution (as permitted by Sections 402(c),
402(e)(6), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 403(b)(1 0), 408(d)(3), and 457(e)(1 6) of the
Code) or a contribution made in accordance with the terms of a Simplified
Employee Pension (SEP) as described in Section 408(k) of the Code, or a
nontaxable transfer from an individual retirement account under Section 408(a)
of the Code or another IRA under Section 408(b) of the Code, contributions must
be paid in cash and the total of such contributions shall not exceed:

     (a) $3,000 for any taxable year beginning in 2002 through 2004; $4,000 for
         any taxable year beginning in 2005 through 2007; and $5,000 for any
         taxable year beginning in 2008 and years thereafter.

     After 2008, the limit will be adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury
     for cost-of-living increases under Code Section 21 9(b)(5)(C). Such
     adjustments will be in multiples of $500.

     (b) In the case of an Owner who is 50 or older, the annual cash
         contribution limit is increased by:

         $500 for any taxable year beginning in 2002 through 2005; and $1,000
         for any taxable year beginning in 2006 and years thereafter.

                                      1

<PAGE>

     (c) In addition to the amounts described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above,
         an Owner may make a repayment of a qualified reservist distribution
         described in Code Section 72(t) (2) (G) during the 2-year period
         beginning on the day after the end of the active duty period or by
         August 17, 2008, if later.

     (d) In addition to the amounts described in paragraphs (a) and (c) above,
         an Owner who was a participant in a Section 401(k) plan of a certain
         employer in bankruptcy described in Code Section 219(c) (5) (C) may
         contribute up to $3,000 for taxable years beginning after 2006 and
         before 2010 only. An Owner who makes contributions under this
         paragraph (d) may not also make contributions under paragraph (b).

No contribution will be accepted under a SIMPLE IRA plan established by any
employer pursuant to Code Section 408(p). No transfer or rollover of funds
attributable to contributions made by a particular employer under its SIMPLE
IRA plan will be accepted from a SIMPLE IRA, that is, an IRA used in
conjunction with a SIMPLE IRA plan, prior to the expiration of the 2-year
period beginning on the date the Owner first participated in that employer's
SIMPLE IRA plan.

The minimum additional premium is $50.00, if additional premium payments are
allowed under the Contract.

Any refund of premiums (other than those attributable to excess contributions)
will be applied, before the close of the calendar year following the year of
the refund, toward the payment of future premiums or the purchase of additional
benefits.

Article 4 - Required Distributions Generally

Notwithstanding any provision of this IRA to the contrary, the distribution of
the Owner's interest in the IRA shall be made in accordance with the
requirements of Code Section 408(b)(3) and the regulations thereunder, the
provisions of which are herein incorporated by reference. If distributions are
not made in the form of an annuity on an irrevocable basis (except for
acceleration), then distribution of the interest in the IRA (as determined in
the next paragraph) must satisfy the requirements of Code Section 408(a)(6) and
the regulations thereunder, rather than Articles 5, 6 and 7 below.

The "interest" in the IRA includes the amount of any outstanding rollover,
transfer and recharacterization under Q&As-7 and -8 of Section 1.408-8 of the
Income Tax Regulations and the actuarial value of any other benefits provided
under the IRA, such as guaranteed death benefits.

Article 5 - Required Beginning Date

As used in this Endorsement, the term "required beginning date" means April 1
of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Owner attains age
70  1/2, or such later date provided by law.

For purposes of Articles 6 and 7 below, required distributions are considered
to commence on the individual's required beginning date or, if applicable, on
the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under
paragraph (2) of Article 7 below. However, if distributions start prior to the
applicable date in the preceding sentence, on an irrevocable basis (except for
acceleration) under an annuity contract meeting the requirements of
Section 1.401 (a)(9)-6 of the Income Tax Regulations, then required
distributions are considered to commence on the annuity start date.

                                      2

<PAGE>

If the sole designated beneficiary is the individual's surviving spouse, the
spouse may elect to treat the IRA as his or her own IRA. This election will be
deemed to have been made if such surviving spouse makes a contribution to the
IRA or fails to take required distributions as a beneficiary.

Article 6 - Distributions During Owner's Life

The Owner's entire interest in the Contract shall be distributed no later than
the required beginning date, or commence to be distributed beginning no later
than the required beginning date over (a) the life of the Owner, or the lives
of the Owner and his or her designated beneficiary (within the meaning of
Section 401 (a)(9) of the Code) or (b) a period certain not extending beyond
the life expectancy of the Owner, or the joint and last survivor expectancy of
the Owner and his or her designated beneficiary. Payments must be made in
periodic payments at intervals of no longer than one year and must be either
nonincreasing or they may increase only as provided in Q&A-1 and -4 of
Section 1.401 (a)(9)-6 of the Income Tax Regulations. In addition, any
distribution must satisfy the incidental benefit requirements specified in
Q&A-2 of Section 1.401 (a)(9)-6.

The distribution periods described in the preceding paragraph cannot exceed the
periods specified in Section 1.401 (a)(9)-6 of the Income Tax Regulations.

The first required payment can be made as late as April 1 of the year following
the year the Owner attains age 70 1/2 and must be the payment that is required
for one payment interval. The second payment need not be made until the end of
the next payment interval.

Article 7 - Distributions After Owner's Death

Death On or After Required Distributions Commence: If the Owner dies on or
after required distributions commence, any remaining portion of the Owner's
interest will be distributed under the contract option chosen.

Death Before Required Distributions Commence: If the Owner dies before required
distributions commence, his or her entire interest will be distributed at least
as rapidly as follows:

(1) If the designated beneficiary is someone other than the Owner's surviving
    spouse, the entire interest will be distributed, starting by the end of the
    calendar year following the calendar year of the Owner's death, over the
    remaining life expectancy of the designated beneficiary, with such life
    expectancy determined using the age of the beneficiary as of his or her
    birthday in the year following the year of the Owner's death, or, if
    elected, in accordance with paragraph (3) below.

(2) If the Owner's sole designated beneficiary is the Owner's surviving spouse,
    the entire interest will be distributed, starting by the end of the
    calendar year following the calendar year of the Owner's death (or by the
    end of the calendar year in which the Owner would have attained age 70 1/2,
    if later), over such spouse's life, or, if elected, in accordance with
    paragraph (3) below. If the surviving spouse dies before required
    distributions commence to him or her, the remaining interest will be
    distributed, starting by the end of the calendar year following the
    calendar year of the spouse's death, over the spouse's designated
    beneficiary's remaining life expectancy determined using such beneficiary's
    age as of his or her birthday in the year following the death of the
    spouse, or, if elected, will be distributed in accordance with paragraph
    (3) below. If the surviving spouse dies after required distributions
    commence to him or her, any remaining interest will continue to be
    distributed under the contract option chosen.

                                      3

<PAGE>

(3) If there is no designated beneficiary, or if applicable by operation of
    paragraph (1) or (2) above, the entire interest will be distributed by the
    end of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Owner's
    death (or of the spouse's death in the case of the surviving spouse's death
    before distributions are required to begin under paragraph (2) above).

(4) Life expectancy is determined using the Single Life Table in Q & A -1 of
    Section 1.401 (a)(9)-9 of the Income Tax Regulations. If distributions are
    being made to a surviving spouse as the sole designated beneficiary, such
    spouse's remaining life expectancy for a year is the number in the Single
    Life Table corresponding to such spouse's age in the year. In all other
    cases, remaining life expectancy for a year is the number in the Single
    Life Table corresponding to the beneficiary's age in the year specified in
    paragraph (1) or (2) and reduced by 1 for each subsequent year.

Article 8 - Optional Payment Plans

All optional payment plans under the Contract must meet the requirements of
Section 408(b) of the Code and applicable regulations. The provisions of this
Endorsement reflecting the requirements of Code Sections 401 (a)(9) and 408(b)
override any optional payment plan inconsistent with such requirements.

If a guaranteed period of payments is chosen under an optional payment plan,
the length of the period must not exceed the applicable maximum period under Q
& As-3 and -10 of Section 1.401 (a)(9)-6 of the Tax Regulations.

Article 9 - Annual Reports

The Company will furnish annual calendar year reports concerning the status of
this Contract and such information concerning required minimum distributions as
is prescribed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.

Article 10 - Code Requirements

The provisions of this Endorsement are intended to comply with requirements of
the Code and applicable regulations for IRAs under Section 408(b) of the Code.
The Company reserves the right to amend the Contract and this Endorsement from
time to time, without the Owner's consent, when such an amendment is necessary
to assure continued qualification of this Contract as an IRA under
Section 408(b) of the Code (and any successor provision) as in effect from time
to time. The owner has the right to refuse to accept any such amendment;
however, we shall not be held liable for any tax consequences incurred by the
Owner as a result of such refusal.
