You will receive an equity award of 12,000 stock options (vest in equal annual installments over 3 years, with first vesting period occurring on September 30, 2012) and 6,000 restricted shares (cliff vesting in 3 years) after your start date.
You will receive a one-time sign-on equity award as follows:
Participation in the Roper Stock Option program, with 20,000 options at time of hire (cliff vest in 3 years).
You will receive 10,000 restricted shares at time of hire (cliff vest in 3 years).
The one-time sign-on equity awards will vest on a cliff vesting schedule on September 30, 2014, contingent upon a start date prior to September 30, 2011.

Employee Benefits:
You will be eligible for all Company employee benefits available to Roper’s corporate officers including disability, health, dental, vision, life insurance, a 401-K Plan and a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The Company will make base and matching contributions of up to 7-1/2 % of your salary as part of these plans based on your participation.
