Form of 2003 Directors Equity Incentive Plan



 Exhibit 10.22 
 THE PROGRESSIVE CORPORATION 
 2003 DIRECTORS EQUITY
INCENTIVE PLAN 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made this <Grant Date> by and between <Participant Name> (“Participant”) and
The Progressive Corporation (the “Company”). 
 1. Award of Restricted Stock. The Company hereby grants to
Participant an award (the “Award”) of restricted stock (the “Restricted Stock”) consisting of <# of Shares> of the Company’s Common Shares, $1 Par Value (“Common Shares”), pursuant and subject to The
Progressive Corporation 2003 Directors Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). 
 2. Condition to Participant’s
Rights under this Agreement. This Agreement shall not become effective, and Participant shall have no rights with respect to the Award or the Restricted Stock, unless and until the Participant has fully executed this Agreement and delivered it
to the Company (in the Company’s discretion, such execution and delivery may be accomplished through electronic means). 
 3. Restrictions; Vesting. The Restricted Stock shall be subject to the restrictions and other terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, which are hereby incorporated herein by reference, and in this Agreement. Subject to the
terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, Participant’s rights in and to the shares of Restricted Stock shall vest on <Vesting Date>.  
 The shares of Restricted Stock awarded under this Agreement shall vest as set forth above unless, prior to such vesting date, the Award and the applicable shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited or have
become subject to accelerated vesting under the terms and conditions of the Plan. Until the shares of Restricted Stock vest, Participant shall not sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise encumber such shares of Restricted Stock or any interest
therein. 
 4. Manner In Which Shares Will Be Held. Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 4, stock certificates
evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock awarded under this Agreement shall be registered in the name of Participant and shall be delivered to and held in custody by the Company, or its designee, until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed or
any conditions to the vesting of such Award have been satisfied. Such certificates shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Award. 
 In the discretion of the Company, any or all shares of Restricted Stock awarded to Participant hereunder may be issued in, or after issuance
may be transferred to, book-entry form and held by the Company, or its designee, in such form. In such event, no stock certificates evidencing such shares will be held, the applicable restrictions will be noted in the records of the Company’s
transfer agent and in the book-entry system. 
 Participant hereby irrevocably authorizes the Company and the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) to take any and all appropriate action with respect to the evidence of Participant’s Restricted Stock, including, without limitation, issuing certificates for such Restricted
Stock, issuing such Restricted Stock in book-entry form, transferring any previously issued certificates into book-entry form, transferring any Restricted Stock (whether held in certificate or book-entry form) into unrestricted form at vesting, or
canceling any Restricted Stock (whether held in certificate or book-entry form) as and when required by this Agreement or the Plan, or undertaking any other action which may be done lawfully by the Company or the Committee in the administration of
the Plan and this Agreement. Participant specifically acknowledges and agrees that such certificates and/or book-entry evidence of Participant’s Restricted Stock may be transferred or cancelled pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan without
requiring that a Stock Power be executed and delivered by the Participant or requiring any other action on the part of Participant, and Participant authorizes the Company to undertake each such action without such Stock Powers. 
 Participant hereby further irrevocably appoints the Secretary of the Company and any employee of the Company who may be designated by the
Secretary, and each of them, my true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, for me and in my name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to execute and deliver each and every document
(including, without limitation, any such Stock Powers) which may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the issuance, transfer, cancellation or other action taken in connection with the Restricted Stock awarded hereunder pursuant to this
Agreement or the Plan. The rights granted by Participant under this paragraph shall automatically expire as to shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder upon the transfer of such shares into unrestricted form at vesting or upon the cancellation
of such shares at any time, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan.

Company’s Board of Directors. 
 6. Shares Non-Transferable. No shares of Restricted Stock shall be transferable by
Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event any Award is transferred or assigned pursuant to a court order, such transfer or assignment shall be without liability to the Company, and the Company shall have
the right to offset against such Award any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company in connection with such transfer or assignment. 
 7. Restricted Stock Deferral Plan. If Participant is eligible, and has made the appropriate election, to defer the Restricted Stock awarded hereunder into The Progressive Corporation Directors

conditions of the Deferral Plan and any deferral agreement entered into by Participant thereunder. 
 8. Dividends.
Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company will pay, or cause to be paid, any cash dividends payable in respect of Restricted Stock through such method(s) of payment as the Company deems advisable, on or promptly after the date established
by the Board of Directors for the payment of such cash dividend to holders of the Company’s Common Shares (the “Dividend Payment Date”), including, but not limited to: (i) payment by the Company’s transfer agent through the
procedures established generally for shareholders of record; or (ii) payment by the Company to Participants directly by appropriate check, draft or automatic deposit. 
 9. Termination of Service. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or as determined by the Committee, if Participant resigns or is
removed from the Board of Directors for any reason other than death or Disability or does not stand for re-election, all Restricted Stock held by Participant which is unvested or subject to restriction at the time of such resignation or removal, or
at the time Participant leaves the Board, shall be automatically forfeited. 
 10. Entire Agreement: This Agreement
