Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 27, 2012, Vocus, Inc. (the "Company") entered into indemnification agreements (the "Indemnification Agreements") with each of its directors and executive officers in the form attached as Exhibit 10.1. The new Indemnification Agreements supersede and replace the indemnification agreements previously in effect between the Company and such directors and executive officers. The Company may from time to time enter into additional indemnification agreements with other of its future directors and officers using the same form of Indemnification Agreement.

The Indemnification Agreements generally provide that the Company will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify each indemnitee that, because the indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company, is or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in any civil, criminal, administrative investigative or other proceeding against all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any such proceeding. The Indemnification Agreements also provide that the Company will advance expenses to the indemnitee, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and that the indemnitee agrees to repay the advanced amount if and to the extent it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final judgment not subject to appeal, that he or she was not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

The rights provided by the Indemnification Agreements are in addition to any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which the indemnitee may be entitled under law, the Company’s charter documents, any vote of the Company's stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the Indemnification Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the form of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
