contracts or agreements that relates to an Employee (whether or not such Employee is located in the United States); except that, Genworth or, if applicable, its Affiliate (1) shall not assume or retain the Liabilities related to the GE Plans, except to the extent such assumptions, retentions or the obligation to make periodic payments under such plans is described elsewhere in this Agreement, (2) shall not assume or retain the Liabilities solely attributable to the acts or omissions of the GE Group pertaining to payroll administration and/or payroll systems services provided by or on behalf of the GE Group prior to the Trigger Date (excluding attorney fees and costs respecting pending litigation, unless such fees and costs are attributable solely to payroll administration and/or payroll systems services provided by or on behalf of the GE Group prior to the Trigger Date), and (3) shall not assume or retain the Liabilities related to the current and former GEIH Business Employees, other than any Liabilities arising prior to the Closing Date which would be allocated to Genworth or one of its Affiliates consistent with past practices and procedures or which are solely attributable to the acts or omissions of Genworth or any of its Affiliates independent of GE and any of its Affiliates. Such exceptions in (1), (2) and (3) are collectively referred to as “Excluded Employee Liabilities”. For purposes of this Article II, any legal entity whose assets and liabilities are to be transferred to the Genworth Group on the Closing Date shall be deemed excluded from the GE Group.

ARTICLE III

EMPLOYMENT

Section 3.01. Employees. As of the Closing Date (or as soon as possible thereafter as permitted by the Laws of any country other than the United States), (i) Genworth shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, continue to employ as a successor employer all of the employees (including statutory employees) of the Companies (other than the GEIH Business Employees described below), including all such employees who have rights of employment on return from any leave or other absence (all such employees hereinafter referred to as “Company Employees”), and (ii) GE shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates (other than the Companies) to, transfer all employees not employed by the Companies but assigned to the Genworth Business, including all such employees who have rights of employment on return from any leave or other absence (all such employees hereinafter referred to as “Transferred Employees”) and Genworth shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, employ as a successor employer the Transferred Employees. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) all Company Employees, (ii) all Transferred Employees, and (iii) those individuals hired after the Closing Date by the Genworth Business shall collectively be referred to as “Employees.” Any Liabilities relating to Transferred Employees shall be deemed to be Liabilities of Genworth for all purposes with effect from the Closing Date notwithstanding the fact that certain Transferred Employees shall only be transferred following the Closing Date as permitted by the Laws of any country other than the United States. As of the Closing Date (or as soon as possible thereafter as permitted by the Laws of any country other than the United States), Genworth also agrees, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates, to assume the obligations of any works council agreement covering the Employees employed by the Companies outside of the United States.

To the extent that any contract of employment of the GEIH Business Employees is not transferred by operation of Law, GE shall cause the appropriate GE Affiliate to issue formal offers of employment to any such GEIH Business Employees. Any such offer of employment to a GEIH Business Employee shall be made on terms and conditions identical to such employee’s previous terms and conditions of employment with FIGSL, and such employee’s period of continuous employment with FIGSL shall count as part of such employee’s period of continuous employment with the relevant GE Affiliate. The effective date of any new contracts of employment resulting from any such offers and issued pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be the Closing Date.

ARTICLE IV

During the Term, for those Employees who are eligible to participate in the GE Plans immediately prior to the Closing Date (or who would become eligible upon meeting certain eligibility requirements or upon satisfaction of any waiting periods under such plans), such Employees shall continue to be eligible to participate in such GE Plans, including the General Electric International Employee Stock Purchase Plan and any comparable arrangements (but excluding any GE Plan providing for cash or other bonus awards, stock options, stock awards, restricted stock, other equity-related awards or long-term performance awards other than the GE Incentive Compensation Plan as described in Article V hereof). Those applicable Employees who are hired after the Closing Date by the Genworth Business shall also

INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

Section 5.01. Establishment of Genworth Equity and Long-Term Performance Award Plan. Effective as of the date of, and immediately prior to, the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-8 relating to the registration of shares of Class A common stock issuable pursuant to the Genworth Equity and Long-Term Performance Award Plan (as hereinafter defined), Genworth shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, establish, adopt and maintain a plan or plans for the benefit of selected Employees providing for cash or other bonus awards, stock options, stock awards, restricted stock, other equity-related awards and long-term performance awards (collectively, the “Genworth Equity and Long-Term Performance Award Plan”); provided, however, that such Employees shall continue to participate in the GE Incentive Compensation Plan, and Genworth’s plan providing for annual cash or other bonus awards shall not be effective, until the Trigger Date. During the Term, GE will cooperate with Genworth to support its operation and administration of the Genworth Equity and Long-Term Performance Award Plan.

Section 5.02. Existing Arrangements.

(a) Annual Incentive Compensation. GE will pay a pro rata bonus attributable to the portion of the calendar year occurring prior to the Trigger Date to eligible Employees who immediately prior to the Trigger Date have participated in the GE Incentive Compensation Plan subject to the terms and practices of such plan. Genworth shall reimburse GE promptly for any payments of such foregoing amounts upon the receipt of billing(s) for such amounts.

(b) GE Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Restricted Stock Units. Except as provided in Schedule I hereof, all GE stock options that are vested and held by Employees as of the Pricing Date will be exercisable in accordance with their terms and the GE 1990 Long-Term Incentive Plan. All GE stock options that are unvested and held by Employees as of the Pricing Date and all GE stock appreciation rights (whether or not vested) held by Employees as of the Pricing Date will be cancelled and converted on the Pricing Date to a like award of (or denominated in) Genworth common stock based on a ratio equal to the initial offering price of Genworth common stock divided by the weighted-average stock price of GE

common stock for the trading day immediately prior to the Pricing Date (the “Conversion Ratio”), subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-8 relating to the registration of shares of Class A common stock to be offered by Genworth pursuant to the Genworth Equity and Long-Term Performance Award Plan. All GE restricted stock units held by Employees as of the Pricing Date will be cancelled and converted on the Pricing Date to Genworth restricted stock units based on the Conversion Ratio, subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-8 relating to the registration of shares of Class A common stock to be offered by Genworth pursuant to the Genworth Equity and Long-Term Performance Award Plan. In all other respects, the converted awards held by Employees will be subject to the same terms and conditions as set forth respectively in the original award grants and, if applicable, the GE 1990 Long-Term Incentive Plan; provided, however, that no such awards shall vest solely as a result of the Trigger Date. The foregoing cancellation and conversion of GE stock options, GE stock appreciation rights, and GE restricted stock units shall immediately be rescinded in all respects in the event that delivery of the Firm Public Offering Shares (as defined in the Master Agreement) to the Underwriters (as defined in the Master Agreement) against payment therefor is not complete within four (4) Business Days (as defined in the Master Agreement) after the Closing Date.

(c) Long-Term Contingent Performance Incentive Awards. For purposes of determining eligibility for long-term contingent performance incentive awards granted to Employees in March 2003 under the GE Long-Term Incentive Plan for the 2003 through 2005 period, employment with the Company shall be treated as employment with GE (or an applicable GE Affiliate). GE will pay a prorated award, for the 2003 through 2005 period, equal to one-third (¹/₃)of the payment that otherwise would be paid in the absence of such proration, in 2006, provided the terms and conditions for the payment of such award as set forth in the original grant and the GE 1990 Long-Term Incentive Plan are satisfied.

During the Term, in consideration for the payment of the Employees through GE’s or one of its Affiliate’s payroll system, the participation of the Employees in the GE Plans, and the operation and administration of the GE Plans by GE and its Affiliates for the benefit of current and former Employees pursuant to this Agreement (the “GE Payroll and Plan Services”), Genworth shall pay GE, and reimburse it for, the costs incurred by the GE Group, plus reasonable expenses, associated with such GE Payroll and Plan Services. All such foregoing amounts under this Section 6.01 will be calculated, billed and paid consistent with the practices and procedures established and uniformly applied to GE businesses; provided, however, (i) GE shall not bill Genworth to the extent any such costs or expenses were previously paid by Genworth (as an Affiliate of GE) prior to the Closing Date and (ii) in no event will Genworth be billed more for the services relating to (A) the participation of the U.S. Employees in the GE Plans and (B) the operation and administration of the GE Plans by GE and its Affiliates for the benefit of current and former U.S. Employees pursuant to this Agreement, than the cost it would have incurred if it had established mirror plans for the U.S. Employees during the Term.

During the Term, in consideration for GE’s cooperation in the operation and administration of any Company Plan, including the Genworth Equity and Long-Term Performance Award Plan established pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof, by Genworth and its Affiliates for the benefit of current and former Employees pursuant to this Agreement (the “Company Plan Services”), Genworth shall pay GE, and reimburse it for, the reasonable costs incurred by the GE Group that are associated with such Company Plan Services.

Genworth shall reimburse GE promptly for any payments of post-retirement welfare benefits made by GE or its applicable Affiliates to the eligible Employees and their eligible dependents pursuant to such coverage upon the receipt of periodic billings for such amounts.

Section 7.03. U.S. Benefits.

(a) Genworth Plans. Effective as of the Trigger Date, Genworth shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, establish, adopt and maintain for a period of at least one year following the Trigger Date such employee benefits pursuant to plans, programs, policies and arrangements for the U.S. Employees that provide benefits to such U.S. Employees that are at least substantially comparable in the aggregate to the value of those benefits provided to them pursuant to the GE Plans in effect immediately prior to the Trigger Date (each such plan, program, policy and arrangement, a “Genworth Plan”). For avoidance of any doubt, no plan of the types described in Section 5.01 hereof shall be taken into account in determining whether the Genworth Plans are substantially comparable in the aggregate. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Genworth shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, provide severance benefits to any U.S. Employee who is laid off during the one-year period following the Trigger Date in an amount that is at least equal to the severance benefits that would have been paid to such employee pursuant to the terms of the applicable GE or GECC severance plan as in effect immediately prior to the Trigger Date, to be calculated, however, on the basis of the U.S. Employee’s compensation and continuous service at the time of the layoff.

(b) Past Service Credit. All U.S. Employees shall be credited for service with the Company, GE, their respective Affiliates and their respective predecessors on and prior to the Trigger Date under all Genworth Plans and practices in which they become participants for all purposes, but excluding benefits accrual under any defined benefit plan, to the extent such service was credited under the corresponding GE Plan and practices.

(c) Group Health Plans. Genworth shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, cause the Genworth Plans to waive any pre-existing conditions limitation and recognize expenses incurred by a U.S. Employee prior to the Trigger Date for purposes of out-of-pocket maximums and deductibles with respect to the calendar year in which the Trigger Date occurs.

(d) Vacation. Genworth shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, recognize any unused vacation entitlement of the U.S. Employees as of the Trigger Date, and provide all U.S. Employees such unused vacation entitlement.

(e) 401(k) Plan. Effective as of the Trigger Date, Genworth shall have in effect a qualified defined contribution plan (the “Genworth 401(k) Plan”) that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code designed to provide benefits as of the Trigger Date to the U.S. Employees participating in the GES&SP immediately prior to the Trigger Date. Effective as of the Trigger Date, each U.S. Employee who was a participant in the GES&SP shall be entitled to a distribution of his or her respective account balance in accordance with the terms of the GES&SP. The Genworth 401(k) Plan shall provide for the receipt of such individual rollovers of benefits so distributed from the GES&SP.

(f) COBRA. Following the Trigger Date, Genworth shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, provide continuation health care coverage to all U.S. Employees and their qualified beneficiaries who incur or incurred a qualifying event in accordance with COBRA at any time with respect to claims incurred on or after the Trigger Date.

Section 7.04. International Benefits.

(a) International Employees. In the case of the International Employees, Genworth shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, comply with any applicable foreign Law governing the terms and conditions of their employment, employment practices or severance of employment.

(b) Continuation of International Plans. If an employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement is subject to the Laws of a country other than the United States (an “International Plan”) and covers only International Employees, Genworth shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, assume or continue, as the case may be, sponsorship over and assumption of all obligations with respect to such International Plan. Such International Plan shall be continued on the same terms for such International Employees for a period of at least one year following the Trigger Date or such longer period as may be required under applicable foreign Law or practice.

(c) Transfer of National Mutual Retirement Benefits Fund. As of the Closing Date, Genworth shall cause FIGSL to transfer sponsorship of the National Mutual Retirement Benefits Fund, and GE shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, assume sponsorship over and assumption of all obligations and assets with respect to such Fund.

(d) Establishment of International Plans. (i) If an International Plan sponsored by GE or its Affiliate (other than a Company) covers employees of the GE Group in addition to International Employees, effective as of the International Benefit Transition Date, Genworth shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, establish or maintain for the benefit of such International Employees (and not former International Employees) benefit plans for a period from the International Benefit Transition Date until at least one year following the Trigger Date or such longer period as may be required under applicable foreign Law or practice that, together with the International Plans described in Section 7.04(b) above, provide benefits to such International Employees that are at least substantially comparable in the aggregate to the value of those benefits provided to them pursuant to the corresponding International Plans in effect immediately prior to the International Benefit Transition Date. In addition, the benefits or employment practices provided by Genworth or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 7.04(d)(i) shall be at such level and design so that no severance or similar payment to such International Employees shall be triggered, and shall comply with applicable foreign Law. In the event that any such severance or similar payment is triggered under a GE Plan, Genworth shall reimburse GE promptly for any payments of such foregoing amounts upon the receipt of billing(s) for such amounts. All obligations attributable to such International Employees under such International Plans shall be assumed by Genworth and its Affiliates under such Genworth benefit plans as of the International Benefit Transition Date.

(ii) If an International Plan sponsored by Genworth or its Affiliate (other than a member of the GE Group) covers employees of the GE Group in addition to International Employees, effective as of the International Benefit Transition Date, GE shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, establish or maintain benefit plans for the benefit of such current (and not former) employees of the GE Group. All obligations attributable to such current employees of the GE Group under such International Plans shall be assumed by GE and its

Affiliates under such GE benefit plans as of the International Benefit Transition Date. During the Term, in consideration for participation of the employees of the GE Group in any International Plan sponsored by Genworth or its Affiliate and the operation and administration of such International Plans by Genworth and its Affiliates for the benefit of current and former employees of the GE Group pursuant to this Agreement (the “Genworth Plan Services”), GE shall pay Genworth, and reimburse it for, the costs incurred by the Genworth Group, plus reasonable expenses, associated with such Genworth Plan Services. All such foregoing amounts under this Section 7.04(d)(ii) will be calculated, billed and paid consistent with the practices and procedures established for such International Plans in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, Genworth shall not bill GE to the extent any such costs or expenses were previously paid by GE (or an Affiliate of GE) prior to the Closing Date.

(e) Funded International Plan.
