Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and either (i) is hired or rehired on or after January 1, 2010, or (ii) is promoted or re-promoted to salary band 1 by the Company on or after January 1, 2010 shall be credited for each Plan Year with the amount of company supplemental contributions under Section 3.6 of the Qualified Plan that were reduced due to the Code 401(a)(17) or 415 limits. Participants who were participants in the Genworth Financial, Inc. Retained Executive Pension Plan as of December 31, 2009 and who are promoted to salary band 1 on or after January 1, 2010, shall not be eligible for the Restoration of Supplemental Contribution benefits described in this sub-section (b).

Effective as of April 1, 2013, Section 3.1(c) is amended to add the following paragraphs at the end of the current Section 3.1(c):

“If the Committee or MDCC determines in accordance with this Section 3.1(c) to accelerate the vesting of any benefit under the Plan, any such accelerated vesting will be subject to such additional conditions and restrictions as the Committee or MDCC may require, including the requirement that a Participant execute a release of claims (“Release”) (the form of which shall be approved by the Committee) in consideration for the accelerated vesting. In the event that a Release is required, such Release must be executed, and any time for consideration or revocation of the Release (the “Consideration Period”) must have expired within the time specified by the Committee or else any accelerated vesting or any other benefit contingent upon such Release shall be forfeited.

If a payment under the Plan in accordance with Section V becomes payable during the Consideration Period for a Release and if such Consideration period begins in one calendar year and extends into the subsequent calendar year, then any payment of benefits under the Plan will be delayed until the end of such Consideration Period or, if earlier, until after the start of the subsequent calendar year.”

In the event that a Release is required, such Release must be executed, and the Consideration Period must have expired within the time specified by the Committee or else any accelerated vesting or any other benefit contingent upon such Release shall be forfeited.

If a payment under the Plan in accordance with Section V becomes payable during the Consideration Period for a Release and if such Consideration Period begins in one calendar year and extends into the subsequent calendar year, then any payment of benefits under the Plan will be delayed until the end of such Consideration Period or, if earlier, until after the start of the subsequent calendar year.”
