The Company

The second paragraph of "The Company" provision is deleted and replaced with
the following:

Capital Brokerage Corporation serves as principal underwriter for the contracts
and is a broker/dealer registered with the SEC. GNA Corporation directly owns
the stock of Capital Brokerage Corporation. Genworth Financial, Inc. directly
owns GNA Corporation. On December 1, 2005, General Electric Company sold
38 million shares of Class A common stock shares of Genworth Financial, Inc. As
a result, General Electric Company owns approximately 20% of Genworth
Financial, Inc. Consequently, the Company and Capital Brokerage Corporation are
no longer affiliated with GE Asset Management Incorporated and GE Investments
Funds, Inc.
