Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 17, 2015, Roper Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and the following executive officers: Brian D. Jellison, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, John Humphrey, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, David B. Liner, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, and Pau J. Soni, Vice President and Corporate Controller (each such director and executive officer being referred to as an "Indemnitee").

Each indemnification agreement provides that the Company will generally indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law, as currently in effect or as it may be amended to increase the scope of permitted indemnification, against any and all Losses if the Indemnitee was, is or becomes a party to or a participant in, or is threatened to become a party or participant in, any threatened, pending or completed action, proceeding, claim, inquiry, or investigation, including claims brought by or in the right of the Company or a third party or in which the Indemnitee is solely a witness, related to the Indemnitee's service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or service to a subsidiary or other enterprise at the Company's request. The Company will also indemnify the Indemnitee in connection with the enforcement of Indemnitee's indemnification rights. The Company will advance expenses prior to the final disposition of any such proceeding, and the Indemnitee will repay any amounts paid, advanced or reimbursed by the Company if it is determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under the indemnification agreement.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the indemnification agreements, the Company is not required to indemnify or advance funds to an Indemnitee with respect to proceedings initiated by the Indemnitee, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final decision that indemnification is prohibited by applicable law, for the disgorgement of profits from the purchase or sale of securities of the Company in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or for Indemnitee's reimbursement to the Company of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity compensation previously received by the Indemnitee or payment of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required under the Exchange Act. In addition, the Company is not required to make any payments to the Indemnitee to the extent that the Indemnitee otherwise received payment under any insurance policy, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, applicable law, or any other contract.

The Indemnitee's rights are in addition to any other rights the Indemnitee may have under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, Delaware law or any other contract. The obligations of the Company under the indemnification agreement are effective as of the date that the Indemnitee first became a director or officer of the Company or first served at the Company's request and continues so long as the Indemnitee may be subject to any possible indemnifiable claim or proceeding to enforce or interpret Indemnitee's rights under the indemnification agreement, even if the Indemnitee has ceased to serve the Company as a director or officer or at its request.

The foregoing description does not purport to summarize all of the provisions of the indemnification agreements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of indemnification agreement filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10, which is incorporated herein by reference.
