Deferral Account established pursuant to this Agreement will be distributed to
you within 30 days after the end of the Fixed Deferral Period, or, if earlier,
the date you die or incur a Termination of Employment or the date a Change in
Control occurs. If you do not elect a Fixed Deferral Period, your Account will

in a single lump sum payment, unless the Plan provides otherwise. I understand
that I may change the method of distribution elected above at least one year
prior to the date of distribution to the extent permitted by the Plan.

merely a device used to determine the amount payable to me under the Plan and
does not provide me with any actual rights or interests in any particular funds,
securities or property of the Company, any Affiliated Company or the Trust, in
any stock of The Progressive Corporation or in any investment funds offered
under the Plan. I also understand that my right to receive distributions under
the Plan makes me a general creditor of the Company with no greater priority
than any other general creditor of the Company.

5. Miscellaneous. I understand that this Agreement is subject to the terms,
conditions and limitations of the Plan, as in effect from time to time, in all
respects and that, except as expressly permitted by the Plan, all elections made
in this Agreement are irrevocable. I acknowledge that I have received, read and
understand the Plan Description dated November, 2003 relating to the Plan. I
