To the extent that any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements between the parties with respect to Tax matters are set forth in the Tax Allocation Agreement, such Tax matters shall be governed exclusively by the Tax Allocation Agreement and not by this Agreement.

(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the transfer of Shares pursuant to the Initial Public Offering will be a “transfer” subject to the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36 (the “UL Rules”). Within ninety (90) days following the filing of

the Genworth consolidated federal income Tax Return for the taxable year in which the Initial Public Offering occurs, Genworth shall provide notice to the Company of any attribute reduction, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36(d)(3) with respect to the assets or stock of Subsidiaries of the Company arising out of the Initial Public Offering by reason of the UL Rules. Following delivery of such notice, the parties shall cooperate to determine whether and to what extent the Company will be required to recognize a deferred Tax liability or reduce a deferred Tax asset in its GAAP financial statements as a result of the application of the UL Rules to the Initial Public Offering (such amount, the “Deferred Tax Writedown”). For purposes of determining the Deferred Tax Writedown, the parties acknowledge and agree that a reduction solely in the basis of stock of Subsidiaries of the Company shall not be create any Deferred Tax Writedown.

(c) Within thirty (30) days of determining the Deferred Tax Writedown pursuant to Section 4.4(b), Genworth shall pay to the Company an amount, if any, of cash equal to the Deferred Tax Writedown. The parties acknowledge and agree that such payment relates back to the Initial Public Offering, and shall therefore be treated as a capital contribution by Genworth Holdings Inc. to the Company immediately prior to the Initial Public Offering for federal and state income Tax purposes.

If for any reason the Genworth Auditors are unable to use or rely on the Company Auditors, the Company agrees to provide any and all information requested and to fully cooperate with the Genworth Auditors, all within sufficient time to enable Genworth to meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of the Genworth Annual Statements. Until the Trigger Date, if the Genworth Auditors identify, in any management letter or other correspondence in connection with the annual audit of Genworth, any issue with the accounting principles, any proposed adjustment or any similar area of concern with respect to the Company Group, Genworth shall promptly inform the Company and provide the Company with an excerpt of the applicable portions of such management letter or correspondence.

(c) Auditors’ Independence. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts, including following Genworth policies on engagement of public accounting firms, to ensure Genworth Auditors maintain independence under SEC and other professional rules and regulations.

5.7. Fifty-Percent Threshold. The Company agrees that, if members of the Genworth Group beneficially own in the aggregate on any date during a fiscal year fifty percent (50%) or more of the then outstanding Company Common Stock, or, notwithstanding such percentage, if any member of the Genworth Group is required during any fiscal year, in accordance with GAAP, to consolidate the Company’s financial statements with its financial statements, then in respect of such fiscal year:

(a) Auditors. The Company shall provide Genworth, the Genworth Auditors or other Representatives of Genworth reasonable access upon reasonable notice during normal business hours to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records so that Genworth may conduct reasonable audits relating to the financial statements provided by the Company pursuant to this Article V, as well as to the internal accounting controls and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that any such audits will be conducted in the same manner and using the same procedures as conducted on the date hereof for audits of the Company including, but not limited to, reporting audit findings to management of the business or unit subject to the audit.

(b) Accounting Estimates and Principles. The Company will give Genworth reasonable notice of any proposed material change in accounting estimates or material changes in accounting principles from those in effect with respect to the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Affiliates of Genworth that comprise the Company Group immediately prior to the Closing Date, and will give Genworth notice immediately following adoption of any such changes that are mandated or required by the SEC, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. In connection therewith, the Company will consult with

Genworth, and, if requested by Genworth, the Company will consult with the Genworth Auditors with respect thereto. As to material changes in accounting principles that could affect any member of the Genworth Group, the Company will not make any such changes without Genworth’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), excluding changes that are mandated or required by the SEC, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, if such a change would be sufficiently material to be required to be disclosed in the Company’s financial statements as filed with the SEC or otherwise publicly disclosed therein. If Genworth so requests, the Company will be required to obtain the concurrence of the Company Auditors as to such material change prior to its implementation. Genworth will use its reasonable best efforts to promptly respond to any request by the Company to make a change in accounting principles and, in any event, in sufficient time to enable the Company to comply with its obligations under Sections 5.1 and 5.2.

(c) Management Certification. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s Chief Financial or Accounting Officer, and other appropriate Company management shall submit quarterly representations in a form consistent with past practice (with such changes thereto prescribed by Genworth consistent with representations furnished to Genworth by other Subsidiaries of Genworth or as otherwise required by changes to applicable Law or stock exchange requirements) attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the financial and accounting records referred to therein in all material respects.

(d) Budget and Operating Review Process. Until the Trigger Date, Genworth shall have the right to approve the annual budget and annual business plan of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (the “Operational Plan”) and any material amendments to, or any material departure from, such annual budget and Operational Plan. The Company shall also review with Genworth its strategic and multi-year plans (collectively, with the Operational Plan, the “Business Plans”). The Company shall conduct its Business Plans review process on a schedule that is consistent with that of Genworth and shall provide the Company’s proposed Business Plans in advance to Genworth for review and, with respect to the Operational Plan, approval by Genworth’s board of directors (the “Genworth Board”). Genworth acknowledges that the Company shall conduct its Business Plans review process through participation in meetings of the Genworth Board and related activities in preparation of such meetings. The Company shall hold all of its regularly scheduled board meetings at which its Business Plans are discussed within a time frame consistent with Genworth’s review process. The Company shall use best efforts to conduct all other reviews of the Company’s operations, affairs, finances or results (other than those required to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements or its customary financial reporting practices) as requested by Genworth. In connection with the Business Plans reviews, relevant Genworth personnel in addition to the members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Company Board”) designated for nomination by Genworth may participate at Genworth’s invitation. As requested by Genworth, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Company management will be participants at the meetings of the Genworth Board. The chairperson of the Company Board and the chairpersons of the committees of the Company Board shall also make themselves available to discuss matters with their respective counterparts of the Genworth Board and the committees thereof.

(e) Board Materials and Reports The Company shall provide to Genworth copies of all materials and reports provided to the Company Board (or a committee thereof) at the same time as such materials and reports are provided to the Company Board (or committee thereof). The Company shall satisfy its obligations under this Section 5.7(e) by delivering such materials and reports to Genworth’s Corporate Secretary in such form and in such manner as requested by Genworth’s Corporate Secretary.

5.8. Accountants’ Reports.

(a) The Company agrees that if members of the Genworth Group beneficially own in the aggregate on any date during a fiscal year at least ten percent (10%) of the then-outstanding Company Common Stock, the Company will promptly upon receipt of written notice from Genworth, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the receipt thereof, deliver to Genworth copies of all reports submitted to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by their independent certified public accountants, including, each report submitted to the Company or any of its subsidiaries concerning its accounting practices and systems and any comment letter submitted to management in connection with their annual audit and all responses by management to such reports and letters.

(b) The Company agrees that if members of the Genworth Group beneficially own in the aggregate on any date during a fiscal year at least ten percent (10%) of the then-outstanding Company Common Stock, the Company shall allow Genworth or any of its Subsidiaries, on reasonable notice and in a reasonable manner, to conduct audits of the Company, including (but not limited to) with respect to the Company’s activities, operations and compliance with applicable Law.

5.9. Financing, Securities and Strategic Transactions. The Company shall cooperate with and shall provide to Genworth and the relevant parties, including potential financing sources, as reasonably requested by Genworth, the Company’s management, directors, officers, employees or other personnel and agents of the Company Group as participants in meetings and all information, books, records, data or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such management, directors, officers, employees or other personnel and agents) or information, books, records, data or other documents that Genworth or potential financing sources may reasonably request in connection with any financing, securities or strategic transactions, including prospective transactions, restructuring transactions and sell-downs of Company Common Stock, or that, in the judgment of Genworth’s legal department, is required to be disclosed therein under any Law. In connection therewith, the Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to provide such persons and information, books, records, data or other documents in a timely manner to enable Genworth and the relevant parties to explore, plan, finance, prepare or execute such financing, securities or strategic transactions, including prospective transactions, restructuring transactions and sell-downs of Company Common Stock, on such date as Genworth shall determine.

(b) Each of Genworth and the Company, on behalf of itself and its respective Group, agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Group, at any time before the Trigger Date, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any Information in the possession or under the control of such respective Group which the requesting Party reasonably determines to be relevant to its relationship, communications or interaction with a (i) Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the requesting Party or such member of its Group, and (ii) nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

5.11. Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by one Group that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to Section 5.10 shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Group.

No Party will destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any Information required to be retained by applicable Law.

5.14. Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Party shall have any liability to any other Party in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement which is an estimate or forecast, or which is based on an estimate or forecast, is found to be inaccurate in the absence of willful misconduct by the Party providing such Information. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Party shall have any liability to any other Party if any Information is destroyed after reasonable best efforts by such Party to comply with the provisions of Section 5.13.

5.15. Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information.

5.16. Genworth Policies, Procedures and Practices. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, except as required by applicable Law (including, but not limited to, the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Nasdaq”)), prior to the Trigger Date, the Company will comply with all:

(a) written policies and procedures of Genworth (as amended, replaced or supplemented from time to time), including, but not limited to, all information, financial, operating, actuarial, human resources, risk, data security and compliance policies and procedures; and

(b) otherwise established practices of Genworth that apply to Genworth and its Subsidiaries from time to time as communicated to the Company, including, but not limited to, all information, financial, operating, actuarial, human resources, risk, data security and compliance practices that apply to the Company.

matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, Genworth and the Company shall cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions.

(d) The obligation of Genworth and the Company to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 5.17 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to provide as witnesses and other officers without regard to whether the witness or the employer of the witness could assert a possible business conflict (subject to the exception set forth in the first sentence of Section 5.17(a)).

(e) In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 5.17, Genworth and the Company will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement memorializing the applicability of any applicable attorney-client privilege, work product immunity or other applicable privileges or immunities of any member of any Group.

Following the Closing Date, neither the Company or any member of the Company Group nor Genworth or any member of the Genworth Group will be required to provide any information pursuant to this Agreement if the provision of such information would serve as a waiver of any Privilege afforded such information.

5.19. Reasonable. For the purposes of this Article V, any request for information shall be deemed reasonable in content or timing if such request is consistent with past practices.

(d) The Company shall not make, and shall not permit any member of the Company Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against Genworth or any member of the Genworth Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 6.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 6.1(a).

foregoing (collectively, the “Genworth Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Liabilities of the Genworth Indemnified Parties relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) the failure of the Company or any other member of the Company Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise promptly discharge any Company Liabilities in accordance with its respective terms, whether prior to or after the Closing Date;

6.3. General Indemnification by Genworth.

6.4. Registration Statement Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis the Genworth Indemnified Parties and each Person, if any, who controls any member of the Genworth Group within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Registration Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Liabilities arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission which has been made therein or omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with (i) the information set forth in the IPO Registration Statement, that Genworth agrees in writing was furnished by a member of the Genworth Group, (ii) the information set forth in any other Registration Statement that Genworth agrees in writing was furnished by a member of the Genworth Group and (iii) information relating to any underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

(b) Each Registration Indemnified Party agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective directors or officers who sign any Registration Statement, and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Registration Indemnified Party, but only with respect to the information set forth in a Registration Statement, that Genworth agrees in writing was furnished by a member of the Genworth Group, or as agreed in writing by Genworth as provided by Section 6.4(a)(ii). For purposes of this Section 6.4(b), any information relating to any underwriter that is contained in a Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not be deemed to be information relating to a Registration Indemnified Party. If any Action shall be brought against the Company or its Subsidiaries, any of their respective directors or officers, or any such controlling person based on

any Registration Statement or Prospectus and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Registration Indemnified Party pursuant to this paragraph (b), such Registration Indemnified Party shall have the rights and duties given to the Company by Section 6.5 hereof (except that if the Company shall have assumed the defense thereof, such Registration Indemnified Party shall not be required to, but may, employ separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such Registration Indemnified Party’s expense), and the Company, its directors or officers and any such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to such Registration Indemnified Party by Section 6.5 hereof.

6.5. Contribution.

(a) If the indemnification provided for in this Article VI is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis, an Indemnified Party under Section 6.2(e), Section 6.3(d) or Section 6.4 hereof in respect of any Liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party (as defined below) shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified Party as a result of such Liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in Liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. For the purposes of this Section 6.5(a), the information set forth in the IPO Registration Statement or any other Registration Statement that is described by Genworth in writing pursuant to Section 6.4(a)(i) or as agreed in writing as provided by Section 6.4(a)(ii), as applicable, shall be the only “information supplied by” such Registration Indemnified Parties.

(b) Genworth and the Company agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.5 were determined by a pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (a) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Liabilities referred to in paragraph (a) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating any claim or defending any Action. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.5, a Registration Indemnified Party shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds to such Registration Indemnified Party exceeds the amount of any damages which such Registration Indemnified Party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

6.6. Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts, On an After-Tax Basis.

(a) Any Liability subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Article VI will be net of Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of the Liability and will be determined on an After-Tax Basis. Accordingly, the amount which any party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnified Party receives a payment (an “Indemnity Payment”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds, then the Indemnified Party will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to seek to collect or recover any third-party Insurance Proceeds to which the Indemnified Party is entitled in connection with any Liability for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article VI; provided, that the Indemnified Party’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder.

(c) The term “After-Tax Basis” as used in this Article VI shall mean, with respect to any indemnification payment to be actually or constructively received by any Person, the amount of the payment (i) increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt or accrual of an indemnification payment hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from incurring or paying such Liability. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt or accrual of any indemnification payment hereunder or incurring or paying any indemnified Liability. Any indemnification payment hereunder shall initially be made without regard to this Section 6.6(c) and shall be increased or reduced to reflect any such net Tax cost (including gross-up) or net Tax benefit only after the Indemnified Party has actually realized such cost or benefit. For purposes of this Agreement, an Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have “actually realized” a net Tax cost or a net Tax benefit to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes payable by such Indemnified Party is increased above or reduced below, as the case may be, the amount of Taxes that such Indemnified Party would be required to pay but for the receipt or accrual of the indemnification payment or the incurrence or payment of such Liability, as the case may be. The amount of any increase or reduction hereunder shall be adjusted to reflect any “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code) with respect to the Indemnified Party’s liability for Taxes, and payments between such indemnified parties to reflect such adjustment shall be made if necessary. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties hereto agree that any indemnity payment made hereunder shall be treated as a capital contribution or dividend

distribution, as the case may be, immediately prior to the date of the Initial Public Offering and, accordingly, not includible in the taxable income of the recipient or deductible by the payor.

6.7. Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the Genworth Group or the Company Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.2, Section 6.3 or Section 6.4, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, such Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnified Party or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 6.7(a) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article VI, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

(b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and to seek to settle or compromise), at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third-Party Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 6.7(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party of its election whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third-Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of such Indemnified Party except as set forth in the next sentence. If the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions in such notice, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party, but the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Indemnified Party for payment of any such fees and expenses to the extent that it establishes that such reservations and exceptions were proper.

(c) If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third-Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its election as provided in Section 6.7(b), such Indemnified Party may defend such Third-Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.

(d) Unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any pending or threatened Third-Party Claim in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could

have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnified Party if (i) the effect thereof is to permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other nonmonetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly against such Indemnified Party and (ii) such settlement does not include an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Third-Party Claim.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall not apply to Taxes (which are covered by the Tax Allocation Agreement).

6.8. Additional Matters.

(a) Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article VI shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnified Party, including an obligation to provide reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment, including documentation with respect to calculations made on an After-Tax Basis and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article VI shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party; (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnified Party of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder; and (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Any claim on account of a Liability which does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the applicable Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution hereunder.

(c) If payment is made by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(d) In an Action in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the parties shall endeavor to

substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant if they conclude that substitution is desirable and practical. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in this section, and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts fees and all other external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement, and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall not apply to Taxes and related matters covered under the Tax Allocation Agreement.

6.9. Remedies Cumulative; Limitations of Liability. The rights provided in this Article VI shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article IX, shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnified Party of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company or its Affiliates, on the one hand, nor Genworth or its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall be liable to the other for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive, consequential, exemplary, statutorily-enhanced or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages (provided that any such liability with respect to a Third-Party Claim shall be considered direct damages) of the other arising in connection with the Transactions or any of the other Transaction Documents.

6.10. Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of Genworth and the Company and their respective Indemnified Parties under this Article VI shall survive the sale or other transfer by any party of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

ARTICLE VII

If any uses or disclosures are made in connection with providing services to any member of the Genworth Group under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, then the Company Confidential Information so used or disclosed shall be used only as required to perform the services. The Genworth Group shall use the same degree of care to prevent and restrain the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company Confidential Information by any of their Representatives as they currently use for their own confidential information of a like nature, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. For purposes of this Section 7.2, any Information, material or documents relating to the Company Business currently or formerly conducted, or proposed to be

conducted, by any member of the Company Group furnished to or in possession of any member of the Genworth Group, irrespective of the form of communication, and all notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, data, translations, studies, memoranda or other documents prepared by any member of the Genworth Group or their respective officers, directors and Affiliates, that contain or otherwise reflect such information, material or documents is hereinafter referred to as “Company Confidential Information.” “Company Confidential Information” does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of a use or disclosure by any member of the Genworth Group not otherwise permissible hereunder, (ii) Genworth can demonstrate was or became available to such Party or such member of the Genworth Group from a source other than the Company or its Affiliates, (iii) is developed independently by such member of the Genworth Group without reference to the Company Confidential Information or (iv) may be reasonably determined by Genworth to be necessary in connection with Genworth’s enforcement of its rights in connection with this Agreement or in connection with financing, securities or strategic transactions, including any prospective transactions, restructuring transactions and sell-downs of Company Common Stock ; provided, however, that, in the case of clause (ii), the source of such information was not known by such member of the Genworth Group to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Company or any member of the Company Group with respect to such information.

(c) From and after the Trigger Date, subject to Section 7.2(d) and except as contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective Representatives, not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than Representatives of such Party or of its Affiliates who reasonably need to know such information in providing services to the Company or any member of the Company Group or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third party, any Genworth Confidential Information. If any uses or disclosures are made in connection with providing services to any member of the Company Group under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, then the Genworth Confidential Information so used or disclosed shall be used only as required to perform the services. The Company Group shall use the same degree of care to prevent and restrain the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Genworth Confidential Information by any of their Representatives as they currently use for their own confidential information of a like nature, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care.

(d) From and after the Trigger Date, if Genworth or its Affiliates, on the one hand, or the Company or its Affiliates, on the other hand, are requested or required (by oral question, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) by any Governmental Authority or pursuant to applicable Law to disclose or provide any Company Confidential Information or Genworth Confidential Information (other than with respect to any such information furnished pursuant to the provisions of Article V of this Agreement), as applicable, the entity or person receiving such request or demand shall use all reasonable best efforts to provide the other Party with written notice of such request or demand as promptly as practicable under the circumstances so that such other Party shall have an opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order. The Party receiving such request or demand agrees to take, and cause its representatives to take, at the requesting Party’s expense, all other reasonable steps necessary to obtain confidential treatment by the recipient.

7.4. Ownership of Certain Subsidiaries. So long as Genworth Seguros de Credito a la Vivienda, S.A. de C.V., a Mexico-domiciled subsidiary of Genworth, or Genworth Servicios, S. de X. X. de C. V., a Mexico-domiciled subsidiary of Genworth (together, the “Mexican Subsidiaries”), is a subsidiary of Genworth, the Company will not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or cause its Subsidiaries to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of its ownership in the Mexican Subsidiaries; provided, that if requested by Genworth, the Company shall transfer to Genworth or its designee the Mexican Subsidiaries (i) for a purchase price equal to the fair market value of such Mexican Subsidiaries as mutually agreed by Genworth and the Company in good faith or as otherwise determined by an independent valuation firm mutually designated by Genworth and the Company and (ii) on such date as is mutually agreed by the Parties.

7.5. Insurance Matters.

(a) The Company and its subsidiaries, as a whole, (i) as of the Effective Time, shall have its own directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with sufficient coverage (including, without limitation, in amounts) that is consistent with customary market practices in its business

and (ii) at and after the Effective Time to the Trigger Date, shall continuously maintain such liability insurance. For the avoidance of doubt, at and after the Effective Time, the Company shall not submit any claims under Genworth’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

(b) Prior to the Trigger Date, members of the Company Group shall be insured by, have direct access or availability to, be entitled to make direct claims on or be entitled to claim benefits directly from or under Genworth Insurance Arrangements, in each case solely to the extent provided by the terms of the Genworth Insurance Arrangements, as the same may be modified, terminated or otherwise changed from time to time in accordance with Section 7.5(f) below. Members of the Company Group will pay premiums and other costs under each such Genworth Insurance Arrangement in accordance with Genworth’s allocation methodologies (consistently applied) for its other Subsidiaries, as the same may be in effect from time to time.

(c) From and after the Trigger Date, members of the Company Group shall cease to be insured by, have access or availability to, be entitled to make claims on, be entitled to claim benefits from or seek coverage under any Genworth Insurance Arrangement, other than with respect to any claim, act, omission, event, circumstance, occurrence or loss that occurred or existed prior to the Trigger Date (and then only to the extent that such claim, act, omission, event, circumstance, occurrence or loss occurred or existed on or prior to the Trigger Date) (a “Pre-Trigger Date Event”) and was reported to the applicable insurer in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Genworth Insurance Arrangement, subject in each case to the terms and conditions of the applicable Genworth Insurance Arrangement and the requirements of subparagraph (f) below. Upon receipt of a written request from the Company, Genworth shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or cancel the Company Group’s coverage under any Genworth Insurance Arrangement, effective no earlier than sixty (60) days after Genworth’s receipt of such request, provided, however that (i) any costs associated with or incurred in connection with such reduction or cancellation shall be borne exclusively by the Company Group, (ii) the Company Group understands that there may be no premium refund or credit provided by the relevant insurers as a result of such reduction or cancellation and (iii) if and to the extent that Genworth actually receives a premium refund or credit from the relevant insurers for the term of the coverage so reduced or cancelled as a direct result of such reduction or cancellation, Genworth shall only be obligated to credit or pay over to the Company Group the lesser of (A) the amount of any such credit or refund or (B) the amount last charged to the Company Group by Genworth for such coverage during such term.

(d) Notwithstanding subparagraph (b) above, with respect to any Pre-Trigger Date Event relating to Company Liabilities or the members of the Company Group that would be covered by Genworth’s occurrence-based insurance policies, the members of the Company Group may directly access, make direct claims on, claim benefits directly from or under such policies, subject in each case to the terms and conditions of such occurrence-based policies and the requirements of subparagraph (f) below.

(e) Notwithstanding subparagraph (b) above, with respect to any Pre-Trigger Date Event relating to Company Liabilities or the members of the Company Group that would be covered by Genworth’s claims made-based insurance policies, the members of the Company Group may directly access, make direct claims on, claim benefits directly from or under such

policies, subject to the terms and conditions of such claims made-based insurance policies and the requirements of subparagraph (f) below.

(f) In connection with any pursuit by or on behalf of any member of the Company Group of insurance benefits or coverage permitted by this Section 7.5:

(i) the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable notify Genworth’s Treasurer of all such claims and/or efforts to seek benefits or coverage and Genworth and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with one another in pursuing all such claims; provided, that the Company shall be solely responsible for notifying the relevant insurance companies of such claims and complying with all conditions for such claims. In addition, the applicable member of the Company Group shall (A) pursue or (B) to the extent assignable and permitted under the applicable Genworth Insurance Arrangement, assign to Genworth or the applicable insurer, any rights of recovery against third parties with respect to Pre-Trigger Date Events for which a claim is made and shall cooperate with Genworth with respect to pursuit of such rights. The order of priority of any such recoveries shall inure first to Genworth to reimburse any and all costs incurred by Genworth directly or indirectly as a result of such claims or losses, second to pay or satisfy any applicable deductibles and retentions under the relevant Genworth Insurance Arrangements and third to the relevant member of the Company Group;

(ii) Genworth shall have the right but not the duty to monitor and/or provide input with respect to coverage claims or requests for benefits asserted by the members of the Company Group under the relevant Genworth Insurance Arrangements, including the coverage positions and arguments asserted therein, provided that the Company (A) shall be liable for any fees, costs and expenses incurred by Genworth relating to any unsuccessful coverage claim, (B) shall provide the notice contemplated in Section 7.5(f)(i), (C) shall not, without the written consent of Genworth, erode, settle, release, commute or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to the relevant Genworth Insurance Arrangements nor amend, modify or waive any rights thereunder, and (D) shall not assign any Genworth Insurance Arrangements or any rights or claims thereunder; and

(iii) the Company shall exclusively bear and be liable (and Genworth shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse the applicable member of the Company Group) for all deductibles and retentions and uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts relating to or associated with such claims, whether made by any member of the Company Group, its employees or third parties.

(g) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Genworth shall retain exclusive right to control all of its insurance policies and programs, including the Genworth Insurance Arrangements referenced in subparagraphs (b) through (e) above, and the benefits and amounts payable thereunder, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to

amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any Liabilities and/or claims that any member of the Company Group has made or could make in the future, including coverage claims with respect to Pre-Trigger Date Events. The Company Group shall cooperate with Genworth and share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit Genworth to manage and conduct its insurance matters as Genworth deems appropriate and that the Company, on behalf of itself and each member of the Company Group, hereby gives consent for Genworth to, on or after the date of this Agreement, inform any affected insurer of this Agreement and to provide such insurer with a copy hereof.

(h) With respect to all open, closed and re-opened claims covered under Genworth’s workers’ compensation, international employers’ liability insurance policies and/or comparable workers’ compensation self-insurance, state or country programs relating to employees (whether present or former, active or inactive) of any member of the Company Group arising from occurrences prior to the Trigger Date, the Company shall promptly reimburse Genworth for all claim payments, costs and expenses relating to such claims, as well as any, catastrophic coverage charges, overhead, claim handling and administrative costs, taxes, surcharges, state assessments, other related costs, whether such claims are made by any member of the Company Group, its employees or third parties.

(i) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive or abrogate in any way Genworth’s or the Company’s own rights to insurance coverage for any liability, whether relating to Genworth or any of its Affiliates or the Company Group or otherwise.

(j) Sections 7.5(b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) shall only be in effect for so long as the Shared Services Agreement is in effect.

7.6. Allocation of Costs and Expenses. Genworth shall pay the underwriting fees, discounts and commissions, and certain costs and expenses attributable to or associated with the Initial Public Offering, including Genworth’s legal and financial advisors. Except for the foregoing or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, costs and expenses associated with the Initial Public Offering directly incurred by the Company, including the Company’s legal advisors, shall be paid by the Company.

7.7. Covenants Against Taking Certain Actions Affecting the Genworth Group. Except to the extent otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of Genworth (which Genworth may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion) take, or cause to be taken, directly or indirectly, any action, including making or failing to make any election under the Law of any state, which has the effect, directly or indirectly, of restricting or limiting the ability of Genworth or any of its Affiliates to freely sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of shares of Company Common Stock. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Genworth (which it may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion), take any action, or recommend to its stockholders any action, which would among other things, limit the legal rights of, or deny any benefit to, Genworth or its

Affiliates as a Company stockholder in a manner not applicable to Company stockholders generally.

7.8. Anti-Dilution. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of Genworth (which Genworth may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion) take, or cause to be taken, directly or indirectly, any action, which has the effect, directly or indirectly, of causing Genworth’s beneficial ownership in the Company to fall below (a) 80.1% or, subsequently, (b) 50.1% of the Company Common Stock, as applicable.

7.9. No Violations.

(a) The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, take any action or enter into any commitment or agreement which, to the Company’s Knowledge, may reasonably be anticipated to result, with or without notice and with or without lapse of time or otherwise, in a contravention or event of default by any member of the Genworth Group of: (i) any provisions of applicable Law; (ii) any provision of the organizational documents of any member of the Genworth Group; or (iii) any judgment, order or decree of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any member of the Genworth Group or any of its respective assets. For purposes of this Section 7.9(a), the “Company’s Knowledge” means the actual knowledge, without inquiry, of the executive officers of the Company (as identified in the IPO Registration Statement); provided, that the Company shall be deemed to have knowledge of the provisions of the organizational documents of Genworth.

(b) Genworth covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to take any action or enter into any commitment or agreement which, to Genworth’s Knowledge, may reasonably be anticipated to result, with or without notice and with or without lapse of time or otherwise, in a contravention or event of default by any member of the Company Group of: (i) any provisions of applicable Law; (ii) any provision of the organizational documents of the Company; or (iii) any judgment, order or decree of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Assets. For purposes of this Section 7.9(b), “Genworth’s Knowledge” means the actual knowledge, without inquiry, of the executive officers of Genworth.

(c) Genworth and the Company agree to provide to the other any information and documentation reasonably requested by the other for the purpose of evaluating and ensuring compliance with Sections 7.9(a) and Section 7.9(b) hereof.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 7.9(b), nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit or restrict in any way any of Genworth’s rights as a stockholder of the Company.

7.10. Litigation and Settlement Cooperation. Genworth or the Company, as applicable (the “Settling Party”) will, respectively, use its commercially reasonable efforts to include the Company and its Subsidiaries or Genworth and its Subsidiaries, as applicable (the “Non-Settling Party”), in the settlement of any Third-Party Claim arising prior to the Trigger Date which jointly involves a member of the Genworth Group and a member of the Company Group, but for which no member of the Genworth Group or the Company Group is an Indemnified Party (the “Joint Claims”); provided, however, that the Non-Settling Party shall be responsible for its share of any

such settlement obligation and any incremental cost (as reasonably determined by Settling Party) to the Settling Party of including the Non-Settling Party in such settlement; provided, further, that the Non-Settling Party shall be permitted in good faith to opt out of any settlement if the Non-Settling Party agrees to be responsible for defending its share of such Joint Claim. After the date hereof, the Party that is primarily affected by a Joint Claim shall have the primary responsibility for defending such Joint Claim. The Parties agree to cooperate in the defense and settlement of any Joint Claim that primarily relates to matters, actions, events or occurrences taking place prior to the Trigger Date. In addition, both Genworth and the Company will use their reasonable best efforts to make the necessary filings to permit each Party to defend its own interests in any Joint Claim as of the Trigger Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

7.11. Non-Compete.

(a) Except as permitted by this Section 7.11 for a period of one (1) year from the Trigger Date (the “Restricted Period”), none of Genworth or its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, engage in any business that directly or indirectly competes with the Company Business in the United States of America and its Territories (the “Company Covered Business”). This Section 7.11 shall cease to be applicable to any Person at such time as it is no longer a Subsidiary of Genworth and shall not apply to any Person that purchases assets, operations or a business from a member of the Genworth Group, if such Person is not a Subsidiary of Genworth after such transaction is consummated. This Section 7.11 does not apply to any Subsidiary of Genworth in which a Person who is not an Affiliate of Genworth holds equity interests and with respect to whom a member of the Genworth Group has existing contractual or legal obligations (including fiduciary duties of representatives on the board of directors or similar body of such Subsidiary) limiting Genworth’s ability to impose on the subject Subsidiary a non-competition obligation such as that in this Section 7.11.

applicable, and in which such Group contributes $50 million or more of assets, Genworth or the Company, as applicable, may only proceed with such strategic alliance, joint venture or any other transaction with respect to the Company Covered Business or the Genworth Covered Business, as applicable, if such opportunity has been offered to the other Party and the other Party has (i) declined to accept such opportunity or (ii) the terms on which the other Party desires to participate are less favorable in the aggregate to the other Party or its Group, as applicable, than those offered by a third party.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.11(a), (b) or (c), and without implicitly agreeing that the following activities would be subject to the provisions of Section 7.11(a), (b) or (c), nothing in this Agreement shall preclude, prohibit or restrict any member of the Genworth Group or the Company Group from engaging in any manner in any (i) Existing Business Activities, (ii) De Minimis Business or (iii) business activity that would otherwise violate Section 7.11(a) or (b) that is acquired from any Person (an “After-Acquired Business”) or is carried on by any Person that is acquired by or combined with a member of the Genworth Group or the Company Group in each case after the date of the Initial Public Offering (an “After-Acquired Company”); provided, that with respect to clause (iii), so long as within twenty-four (24) months after the purchase or other acquisition of the Acquired Business or the Acquired Company, such member of the Genworth Group or Company Group, as applicable, signs a definitive agreement to dispose, and subsequently disposes of the relevant portion of the business or securities of the Acquired Business or the Acquired Company or at the expiration of such twenty-four (24) month period the business of the After-Acquired Business or the After-Acquired Company complies with this Section 7.11.

(f) At any time when Genworth shall beneficially own at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, Genworth shall have the right (but not the obligation) pursuant to this Agreement to designate one non-voting observer (the “Board Observer”) to attend any meetings of the Company Board. The Board Observer shall be permitted to attend, strictly as an observer, meetings of the Company Board and all materials and reports to be provided to the Company Board shall be delivered to the Board Observer at the same time as such materials are provided to the Company Board. The Board Observer shall not have any voting rights with respect to any matters considered or determined by the Company Board or any committee thereof. Any action taken by the Company Board at any meeting will not be invalidated by the absence of the Board Observer at such a meeting.

(g) The Parties agree that it is in the best interests of the Company for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to be a director serving on the Company Board. For so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any necessary approvals from the Company Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (or any other applicable duly authorized committee) of the Company Board to include in the slate of nominees recommended to the Stockholders for election as a director at any annual or special meeting of the Stockholders at which directors of the Company are to be elected (or, as applicable and if permitted, by any action by written consent of the Stockholders), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

(h) If the size of the Company Board shall, with Genworth’s prior written approval, be changed, Genworth shall have the right to designate a proportional number of additional persons for nomination to the Company Board (rounded up to the nearest whole number) and the Company shall obtain any necessary approvals from the Company Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company Board or other duly authorized committee of the Company Board and shall include in the slate of nominees recommended to the Stockholders for election as a director at any annual or special meeting of the Stockholders (or, if permitted, by any action by written consent of the Stockholders) at which directors of the Company are to be elected, the individuals identified in advance by Genworth.

(j) Vacancies arising through the death, resignation or removal of any Genworth Designee who was nominated to the Company Board pursuant to this Section 8.2, may be filled by the Company Board only with a Genworth Designee, and the director so chosen shall hold office until the next election and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

(k) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.2, Genworth shall not be entitled to designate a Person as a nominee to the Company Board upon a written determination by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company Board or equivalent duly authorized committee of the Company Board with nominating responsibility (which determination shall set forth in writing reasonable grounds for such determination) that such Person would not be qualified under any applicable Law, rule or regulation to serve as a director of the Company. In such an event, Genworth shall be entitled to select a Person as a replacement designee and the Company shall cause such Person to be nominated as the Genworth Designee at the same meeting (or, if permitted, pursuant to the same action by written consent of the Stockholders) as such initial Person was to be nominated.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Genworth Designee shall be required to qualify as an independent director under applicable rules or regulations of the SEC or the Nasdaq unless such rules require them to be independent for purposes of being able to serve on the Company Board or the applicable committees in accordance with the designation rights under this Agreement following the loss of “controlled company” status and expiration of the applicable transition periods.

(l) At any time when Genworth shall beneficially own at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, the Company shall notify Genworth in writing of the date on which proxy materials are expected to be mailed by the Company in connection with an election of directors at an annual or special meeting of the Stockholders (and the Company shall deliver such notice at least 60 days (or such shorter period to which Genworth consents, which consent need not be in writing) prior to such expected mailing date or such earlier date as may be specified by the Company reasonably in advance of such earlier delivery date on the basis that such earlier delivery is necessary so as to ensure that any Genworth Designee may be included in such proxy materials at the time such proxy materials are mailed). The Company shall provide Genworth with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments on any portion of the proxy materials relating to the Genworth Designees or the rights and obligations provided under this Agreement and to discuss any such comments with the Company. The Company will incorporate any such comments from Genworth. The Company shall notify Genworth of any opposition to a Genworth Designee in accordance with Section 8.2(k) sufficiently in advance of the date on which such proxy materials are to be mailed by the Company in connection with such election of directors so as to enable Genworth to propose a replacement Genworth Designee, if necessary, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Genworth shall have 10 business days after such notification to identify such replacement Genworth Designee.

(m) In the event that Genworth ceases to have the requisite nomination rights pursuant to Section 8.2, Genworth shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable Genworth Designees to resign as promptly as practicable thereafter.

(q) For the avoidance of doubt, Genworth shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to waive any and all of the rights granted to it under this Section 8.2, by delivery of written notice to the Company in accordance with Section 10.5.

8.3. Committees of the Company Board.

(a) Until the Trigger Date, Genworth shall have the right (but not the obligation) pursuant to this Agreement to designate at least two (2) Genworth Designees who are directors on the Company Board to serve on the Compensation Committee.

(b) Until the first date on which Genworth ceases to beneficially own more than thirty percent (30%) of the outstanding Company Common Stock, (i) the Company shall cause the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Independent Capital Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Risk Committee to each consist of three (3) directors and (ii) Genworth shall have the right (but not the obligation) pursuant to this Agreement to designate at least one (1) Genworth Designee who is a director on the Company Board to serve on each committee of the Company Board, other than the Independent Capital Committee.

(c) The Genworth Designee on the Audit Committee must be an independent director who meets all Nasdaq and SEC requirements to serve on the Audit Committee. If the Company is no longer a “controlled company” under the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq, the Genworth Designee on the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must be an independent director who meets all Nasdaq requirements to serve on the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

(d) If the size of any committee of the Company Board shall, with Genworth’s prior written approval, be changed, Genworth shall have the right to designate a proportional

number of additional Genworth Designees to serve on such committee (rounded up to the nearest whole number) and the Company shall obtain any necessary approvals from the Company Board or other duly authorized committee of the Company Board.

8.4. Meetings of the Company Board. Regular and special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Bylaws.

8.5. Compliance with Organizational Documents. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, take any and all actions necessary to ensure continued compliance by the Company and its Subsidiaries with the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation and Bylaws (collectively, “organizational documents”). The Company shall notify Genworth in writing promptly after becoming aware of any act or activity taken or proposed to be taken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which resulted or would result in non-compliance with any such organizational documents, and so long as Genworth or any member of the Group owns any shares of Company Common Stock, the Company shall take or refrain from taking all such actions as Genworth shall in its sole discretion determine necessary or desirable to prevent or remedy any such non-compliance.

9.2. Consideration by Senior Executives. If a Dispute is not resolved in the normal course of business at the operational level, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation between the senior-most executives of each Party or their respective senior-level designees. Either Party may initiate the executive negotiation process by providing a written notice of such Dispute to the other (the “Initial Notice”). Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Initial Notice, the receiving Party shall submit to the other a written response (the “Response”). The Initial Notice and the Response shall include (i) a statement of the Dispute and of each Party’s position, and (ii) the name and title of the executive who will represent that Party and of any other person who will accompany the executive.

The Parties shall jointly select a mediator from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals. If the Parties are unable to select a mutually agreeable mediator within twenty (20) days following the submission of the Dispute to the CPR, the CPR shall select the mediator from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals.

9.4. Arbitration.

(a) If a Dispute is not resolved in writing by mediation as provided in Section 9.3 within thirty (30) days of the selection of a mediator, such Dispute shall be submitted, at the request of either Party, to final and binding arbitration pursuant to the CPR Rules for Administered Arbitration then in effect, except as modified herein (the “CPR Arbitration Rules”).

In accordance with the CPR Arbitration Rules, the Party commencing the arbitration shall designate an arbitrator in the notice of arbitration and the other Party shall designate an arbitrator in its notice of defense.

(f) Until the arbitral tribunal has been constituted, either Party may seek interim relief in aid of arbitration, to preserve the status quo, or for the purposes set out in Section 9.4(d), above, from any court having jurisdiction over any Party or any of its assets. Without prejudice to such interim remedies that may be granted by a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant interim remedies, to order a Party to request that a court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any Party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.

(g) The Parties consent and submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court located in the State of New York or, where such court does not have jurisdiction, any New York state court, in either case located in New York County, New York (“New York Court”) for the enforcement of any arbitral award rendered hereunder, to compel arbitration or for interim relief. In any such action: each Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any right of objection to jurisdiction on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any New York Court.
