EXHIBIT A

EXECUTIVE SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into by and between you («Name») and Progressive «PayrollCompany» (“Progressive”), together with its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns (collectively, with Progressive, the “Progressive Group”), pursuant to The Progressive Corporation Executive Separation Allowance Plan (“Plan”).

WHEREAS, your employment with Progressive ended effective «TermDate» (the “Separation Date”); and

WHEREAS, you desire to receive certain separation allowance benefits under the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Plan provides separation allowance benefits only to employees who sign a Separation Agreement and General Release in the form specified in the Plan;

NOW, THEREFORE, you and the Progressive Group agree as follows:

1.Final Wages and ETB Payment.  Progressive shall pay you for all hours of work performed and for all credited but unused Earned Time Benefit hours determined as of your Separation Date in accordance with Progressive’s standard practices.  These payments will be made within thirty (30) days of the Separation Date, or at such earlier time as may be required by law, regardless of whether you accept this Agreement.  

2.Severance Benefits.  In consideration of your acceptance of this Agreement and subject to your fully meeting your obligations under it, Progressive will provide you with following severance pay and benefits:  

		
	a.
	Progressive shall pay you a separation allowance in the total gross amount of «SepText» Dollars ($«SepNo») (representing «sevwks» weeks of Compensation), less applicable tax withholding, other legally required deductions and (except to the extent prohibited by law) amounts due Progressive for any reason.  Such separation allowance shall be paid in a lump sum at the time specified in Section 3.2 of the Plan and subject to the limitations specified in the Plan.  

    
		
	b.
	If you are participating in The Progressive Health, Life and Disability Benefits Plan (“Group Insurance Plan”), you may elect to continue your and your dependents’ medical, dental and vision coverages under the Group Insurance Plan for the periods specified in the Group 

Insurance Plan, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the Group Insurance Plan.  If you elect to continue any of such coverages, Progressive shall pay the cost of continuing such coverages for a period not to exceed the number of weeks of Compensation used in computing the amount of your separation allowance under Paragraph 1 above, provided that you make payments at such times as and in such manner as Progressive shall specify equal to the contributions you would have had to make for those coverages for such period had you continued to receive those coverages as an active employee during such period, all as determined by Progressive.  You also shall be entitled to the conversion privileges, if any, applicable to your life insurance and/or other coverages under the Group Insurance Plan.  

		
	c.
	Progressive shall make outplacement services available to you for a period of [ ] months, in accordance with Section 2.5 of the Plan. 

		
	d.
	If you are rehired by Progressive or any other Participating Employer as a regular employee within a period of time following your Separation Date that does not exceed the number of weeks of Compensation used in computing your separation allowance under the Plan, you shall repay to Progressive the amount specified in Section 3.7 of the Plan at the time and in the manner specified therein.  

		
	e.
	[DELETE IF SEPARATION DATE IS AFTER CHANGE OF CONTROL.]  You shall not be entitled to receive the severance pay and benefits described above, and this Agreement shall be considered null and void, if, at any time prior to payment to you of a separation allowance, Progressive determines that you have committed a violation of Progressive’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that would have led Progressive to terminate your employment in accordance with Progressive’s then current disciplinary practices with respect to the type of violation in question had you still been actively employed.  

3.Effect on Equity Incentives.  [If not Qualified Retirement] You acknowledge the forfeiture of any and all unvested Restricted Equity (whether Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Units) awarded to you under The Progressive Corporation 2003 Incentive Plan, The Progressive Corporation 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and/or The Progressive Corporation 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, in each case as amended (the “Incentive Plans”), except to the extent stated in any agreement between you and Progressive related to unvested and outstanding performance-based restricted stock award(s) for which the Evaluation Period or the Growth Evaluation Period has ended prior to the Separation Date.  You rights, if any, under The Progressive Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and/or the Incentive Plans (collectively, the “Executive Compensation Programs”) shall be determined in accordance with the governing provisions of the Executive Compensation Programs as in effect from time to time and any agreements entered into thereunder.  For purposes of such Executive Compensation Programs, you shall be considered to have terminated employment with Progressive on the Separation Date.
[If Qualified Retirement]  The termination of your employment shall be deemed to be a Qualified Retirement as that term is used in The Progressive Corporation 2003 Incentive Plan, The Progressive Corporation 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and/or The Progressive Corporation 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, in each case as amended (the “Incentive Plans”), and any Restricted Stock Award Agreement or Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement between you and Progressive (the “Stock Agreements”) and you shall enjoy such rights and be subject to such forfeitures and requirements as are contained in said Incentive Plans and Stock Agreements in accordance with the Incentive Plans and Stock Agreements.  Your rights, if any, under The Progressive Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and/or the Incentive Plans (collectively, the “Executive Compensation Programs”) shall be determined in accordance with the governing provisions of the Executive Compensation Programs as in effect from time to time and any agreements entered into thereunder.  For purposes of such Executive Compensation Programs, the Separation Date shall be your Qualified Retirement Date.  

4.Acknowledgment of Full Payment and Status of Benefits.  You acknowledge that the payments described in Paragraph 1 of this Agreement are in complete satisfaction of any and all wages and payments due to you from the Progressive Group, whether for services provided or otherwise, through the Separation Date and that, except as expressly provided under this Agreement, no further compensation is owed to you.  You further acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in Paragraphs 2(b) and 3 above, your participation in all employee benefit plans and programs will end as of the Separation Date, in accordance with the terms of those plans and programs.   You acknowledge that you have no rights under The Progressive Corporation Separation Allowance Plan.
