2018 Genworth Financial, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan 2021-2023 Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

This Award Agreement and the 2018 Genworth Financial, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) together govern your rights under this Award Agreement and set forth all of the conditions and limitations affecting such rights. Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Award Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the Plan’s terms shall supersede and replace the conflicting terms of this Award Agreement.

Grant. You are hereby granted Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), which vest (become non-forfeitable) based on your continued future employment with the Company and/or certain other events, as set forth in Section 3 below. Each vested RSU entitles you to receive from Genworth Financial, Inc. (together with its Affiliates, the “Company”) one Share of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Share”), as set forth in Section 6 below, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the Plan, and any rules and procedures adopted by the Committee.

Xxxxx Date: #GrantDate# (the “Grant Date”)

Number of RSUs: #QuantityGranted#

Vesting Dates. The RSUs shall not provide you with any rights or interests therein until the RSUs vest. Unless vesting is accelerated as provided in Section 3 herein or otherwise in the discretion of the Committee as permitted under the Plan, one-third of the RSUs (rounded to a whole Share) shall vest (become non-forfeitable) on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date (each, a “Designated Vesting Date”), provided that you have been continuously in the service of the Company or one through such dates.

Agreement to Participate. You have been provided with this Award Agreement, and you have the opportunity to accept this Award Agreement, by accessing and following the procedures set forth on the stock plan administrator’s website. The Plan is available for your reference on the stock plan administrator’s website. You may also request a copy of the Plan at any time by contacting Human Resources at the address or telephone number set forth below in Section 14(a). By agreeing to participate, you acknowledge that you have reviewed the Plan and this Award Agreement, and you fully understand all of your rights under the Plan and this Award Agreement, the Company’s remedies if you violate the terms of this Award Agreement, and all of the terms and conditions which may limit your eligibility to retain and receive the RSUs and/or Shares issued pursuant to the Plan and this Award Agreement.

If you do not wish to accept the RSUs and participate in the Plan and be subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, please contact the Human Resources Department, Genworth Financial, Inc., 0000 X. Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000, or at (000) 000-0000, within thirty (30) days of receipt of this Award Agreement. If you do not respond within thirty (30) days of receipt of this Award Agreement, the Award Agreement is deemed accepted. If you choose to participate in the Plan, you agree to abide by all of the governing terms and provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement.

3.	Vesting of RSUs. The RSUs have been credited to a bookkeeping account on your behalf. The RSUs will vest and become non-forfeitable as follows:

Designated Vesting Dates. The RSUs will vest on the Designated Vesting Dates provided in Section 1(c), provided that you have been continuously in the service of the Company through such dates. Unvested RSUs shall be immediately cancelled upon termination of your service with the Company, except as provided in Sections 3(b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) below.

Employment Termination Due to Death or Total Disability. If your service with the Company terminates as a result of your death or Total Disability, then all of your unvested RSUs shall immediately vest. For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Total Disability” shall mean a permanent disability that would make you eligible for benefits under the long-term disability program maintained by the Company (without regard to any time period during which the disabling condition must exist) or in the absence of any such program, such meaning as the Committee shall determine.

Employment Termination for Retirement. If your service with the Company terminates for any reason other than Cause on or after you have attained age sixty (60) and accumulated five (5) or more years of “continuous service” as defined under the Company’s “Continuous Service Policy” or equivalent, then all of your unvested RSUs shall automatically vest.

Employment Termination Due to Layoff. If your service with the Company terminates as a result of a “Layoff,” as such term is defined or described in the Genworth Layoff Payment Plan (a “Layoff”), you shall continue to vest in any RSUs that are scheduled to vest after the Notice Date but before the Layoff Date (the “Notice Date” and “Layoff Date” each as defined in the Genworth Layoff Payment Plan). Additionally, on the Layoff Date, the RSUs, if any, that are scheduled to vest on the next Designated Vesting Date after the Layoff Date shall immediately vest; all remaining and subsequently-vesting RSUs shall be forfeited as provided in Section 4 immediately on the Layoff Date.

Qualifying Change of Control and Awards are Not Assumed. Upon the occurrence of a Qualifying Change of Control in which the Successor Entity fails to Assume and Maintain this Award of RSUs, all of your unvested RSUs shall immediately vest as of the effective date of the Qualifying Change of Control, provided that the circumstances giving rise to such Qualifying Change of Control meet the definition of a “change in control event” under Code Section 409A.

Employment Termination without Cause or for Good Reason within 12 Months of a Qualifying Change of Control. If a Qualifying Change of Control occurs and the Successor Entity Assumes and Maintains this Award of RSUs, and if your service with the Successor Entity and its Affiliates is terminated by the Successor Entity or one of its Affiliates without Cause (other than such termination resulting from your death or Total Disability) or by you for Good Reason within twelve (12) months following the effective date of the Qualifying Change of Control, then all of your unvested RSUs shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination of service.

Employment Termination without Cause or for Good Reason within 12 Months of a Non- Qualifying Change of Control. If a Non-Qualifying Change of Control occurs and if your service with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than such termination resulting from your death or Total Disability) or by you for Good Reason within twelve (12) months following the effective date of the Non-Qualifying Change of Control, then all of your unvested RSUs shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination of service.

Forfeiture of RSUs Upon Termination of Employment. If your employment terminates prior to the Designated Vesting Dates provided in Section 1(c) for any reason other than as described in Section 3 above, you shall forfeit all right, title and interest in and to the RSUs as of the date of such termination and the RSUs will be reconveyed to the Company without further consideration or any act or action by you. Any RSUs that fail to vest in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement will be forfeited and reconveyed to the Company without further consideration or any act or action by you.

5.	For purposes of this Award Agreement:

“Business Unit Sale” shall mean the Company’s sale or disposition of all or any portion of a business unit.

“Cause” shall mean (i) your willful and continued failure to substantially perform your duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from your Total Disability); (ii) your commission, conviction or pleading guilty or nolo contendere (or any similar plea or admission) to any felony or any act of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement; (iii) your willful engagement in conduct (other than conduct covered under clause (i) above) which, in the good faith judgment of the Committee, is injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise; or (iv) your material violation or breach of any Company policy, or any noncompetition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenant with respect to the Company, that applies to you; provided, however, that for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the act, or failure to act, was in the best interests of the Company.

“Good Reason” shall mean any material reduction in the aggregate value of your compensation (including base salary and bonus), or a substantial reduction in the aggregate value of benefits provided to you; provided, however, that Company-initiated across-the-board reductions in compensation or benefits affecting substantially all employees shall alone not be considered Good Reason.

“Non-Qualifying Change of Control” shall mean a Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the Plan) that results from a Business Unit Sale, provided that following such Change of Control (i) the Company remains in existence as a publicly-traded company (separate and apart from any Successor Entity resulting from the Change of Control, and regardless of whether the Company continues to use the name “Genworth Financial, Inc.” or a different name), (ii) your employment with the Company is not terminated by the Company without Cause in connection with the Change of Control, and (iii) the RSUs subject to this Award Agreement remain outstanding.

“Qualifying Change of Control” shall mean a Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the Plan) that is not a Non-Qualifying Change of Control.

Conversion to Stock. Unless the RSUs are forfeited as provided in Section 4 above, the RSUs will be converted to Shares on the Designated Vesting Dates provided in Section 1(c), or earlier upon the occurrence of any of the events as provided in Sections 3(b) – 3(g), provided, however, that if the RSUs become vested upon your separation from service during a period in which you are a “specified employee” (as defined below), then, to the extent delivery of Shares would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, your right to receive the Shares will be delayed until the earlier of your death or the first day of the seventh month following your separation from service (the “Conversion Date”). Shares will be registered on the books of the Company in your name as of the Conversion Date and delivered to you as soon as practical thereafter, in certificated or uncertificated form, as you shall direct.

For purposes of this Award Agreement, the term “Specified Employee” has the meaning given such term in Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder (“Final 409A Regulations”), provided, however, that, as permitted in the Final 409A Regulations, the Company’s Specified Employees and its application of the six-month delay rule of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) shall be determined in accordance with rules adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof, which shall be applied consistently with respect to all nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements of the Company, including this Award Agreement.

Dividend Equivalents. Until such time as the RSUs convert to Shares, or the RSUs are cancelled, whichever occurs first, the Company will establish an amount to be paid to the Participant (“Dividend Equivalent”) equal to the number of outstanding RSUs under this Award Agreement times the per share dividend payments made to shareholders of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Company shall accumulate Dividend Equivalents and will, on the date that RSUs convert to Shares, pay to the Participant a cash amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents attributable to such RSUs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any accumulated and unpaid Dividend Equivalents attributable to RSUs that are cancelled will not be paid and are immediately forfeited upon cancellation of the RSUs.

8.	Restrictive Covenants. As a condition to receiving payment of the Award, you agree to the following:

Non-Disparagement. Subject to any obligations you may have under applicable law, you will not make or cause to be made any statements that disparage, are inimical to, or damage the reputation of the Company or any of its agents, officers, directors or employees. Nothing in this section shall limit your ability to provide truthful testimony or information in response to a subpoena, court order, or investigation by a government agency.

Non-Solicitation of Customers or Clients. Unless waived in writing by the most senior Human Resources officer of the Company (or his or her successor), you will not, during and for a period of 12 months following the cessation of your employment with the Company for any reason, directly or through another person, solicit or contact any of the customers or clients of the Company with whom you had material contact during your employment, regardless of the location of such customers or clients, for the purpose of engaging in, providing, marketing, or selling any services or products that are competitive with the services and products being offered by the Company.

Non-Solicitation of Company Employees. Unless waived in writing by the most senior Human Resources officer of the Company (or his or her successor), you will not, during and for a period of 12 months following the cessation of your employment with the Company, directly or through another person, solicit or encourage any director, agent or employee of the Company to terminate his or her employment or other engagement with the Company.

Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require you or your beneficiary to remit to the Company, an amount in cash or Shares sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Award Agreement (including “sell to cover” arrangements whereby the company has the right to sell shares on your behalf to cover the taxes). With respect to such withholding, the employer may satisfy the tax withholding requirement by withholding Shares having a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined equal to the amount required to be withheld in accordance with applicable tax requirements, all in accordance with such procedures as the Committee establishes. The obligations of the Company under this Award Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct in cash or Shares any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to you.

10.

Nontransferability.

11.

Requirements of Law. The granting of the RSUs and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

12.
