                                   VOCUS, INC.
                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

To:      [employee's name]:

This Employment Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated as of __________, 200__ (the
"Effective Date"), establishes the terms of your continued employment with
Vocus, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").

1)       EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES. You and the Company agree to your continued
         employment as [employee's title] on the terms contained herein. In such
         position, you will report directory to [title of employee that employee
         reports to] (the "Direct Report"). You agree to perform whatever duties
         the Direct Report may assign you from time to time that are reasonably
         consistent with your position. During your employment, you agree to
         devote your full business time, attention, and energies to performing
         those duties (except as the Company may otherwise agree).

2)       TERM. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period of three
         years, commencing as of the Effective Date, unless terminated earlier
         pursuant to Section 7 below. This Agreement shall automatically renew
         for successive one-year periods thereafter (the initial term and each
         such renewal period are collectively referred to as the "Term") unless,
         at least six months prior to the expiration of the initial term or any
         such renewal period, either party gives written notice to the other
         party specifically electing to terminate this Agreement at the end of
         the then-current initial term or renewal period, as applicable (a
         "Notice of Non-Renewal"). In the event a Notice of Non-Renewal is
         delivered by either party as provided above then, as of the end of the
         Term, unless you are no longer an employee of the Company as of such
         time, you shall become an at-will employee of the Company (provided
         that the provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive
         termination shall continue to apply to you).

3)       COMPENSATION.

         A)       SALARY. For all services rendered by you under this Agreement,
                  the Company will pay you an annual salary (the "Salary") of
                  not less than US$[employee's annual salary], which may be
                  increased, but not decreased, from time to time in such
                  amounts as may be determined by the Company's Board of
                  Directors (the "Board") or the compensation committee thereof,
                  in accordance with its generally applicable payroll practices.

         B)       BONUS. In addition to your Salary, you shall be eligible
                  during the Term to receive an annual bonus (the "Bonus") based
                  on the Company's achievement of its financial performance
                  goals, as determined by the Board or its compensation
                  committee. Provided that the Company's goals have been met
                  with respect to any fiscal year, as so determined by the Board
                  or its compensation committee, the Bonus payable on account of
                  such year will be not less than $[____]. Any such Bonus earned
                  hereunder will be paid within 90 days after the end of the
                  Company's fiscal year. You must be employed at the end of the
                  applicable fiscal year in order to receive any Bonus to which
                  you are otherwise entitled pursuant to the terms of this
                  Section 3(b).

         C)       EQUITY. You shall be eligible to receive equity awards under
                  any incentive compensation, stock option or other equity plans
                  of the Company now in effect or which may be in effect at any
                  time during the Term, subject to the discretion of the Board
                  or any committee thereof designated to administer any such
                  plan.

         D)       EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. During the Term, the Company will provide
                  you with the same benefits as it makes generally available
                  from time to time to the Company's senior executives, as those
                  benefits are amended or terminated from time to time. Your
                  participation in the Company's benefit plans will be subject
                  to the terms of the applicable plan documents and the
                  Company's

                                  Page 1 of 9
<PAGE>

                  generally applied policies, and the Company, in its sole
                  discretion, may adopt, modify, interpret, or discontinue such
                  plans or policies.

4)       VACATION. You shall accrue at least four weeks of paid vacation per
         year. All terms and conditions of your vacation benefit will be
         governed by the Company's policies in effect from time to time.

5)       EXPENSES. The Company will reimburse you for reasonable travel and
         other business-related expenses you incur for the Company in performing
         your duties under this Agreement. You must itemize and substantiate all
         requests for reimbursement and submit such reimbursement requests in
         accordance with the Company's policies in effect from time to time.

6)       NO OTHER EMPLOYMENT. While the Company employs you, you agree that you
         will not, directly or indirectly, provide services to any person or
         organization for which you receive compensation or otherwise engage in
         activities that would conflict or interfere significantly with your
         faithful performance of your duties as an employee without the
         Company's prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may
         (a) make and manage personal passive business investments of your
         choice and serve in any director or similar type capacity with up to
         three civic, educational or charitable organizations, or any trade
         association, without seeking or obtaining the approval of the Company,
         provided such activities do not materially interfere or conflict with
         the performance of your duties hereunder, and (b) with the approval of
         the Company, serve on the boards of directors of other corporations.

7)       TERMINATION. Subject to the provisions of this Section and of Section
         8, you and the Company agree that it may terminate your employment, or
         you may resign, prior to the expiration of the Term, except that, if
         you voluntarily resign, you must provide the Company with 30 prior
         written notice (unless the Board or your Direct Report has previously
         waived such notice in writing or authorized a shorter notice period).

         A)       FOR CAUSE. The Company may terminate your employment for
                  "Cause" if you:

                  i)       commit a material breach of (A) your obligations or
                           agreements under this Agreement or (B) any of the
                           covenants regarding non-disclosure of confidential
                           information, assignment of intellectual property
                           rights, non-competition and/or non-solicitation
                           (collectively, "Restrictive Covenants") applicable to
                           you under any Stock Option Agreement or other
                           agreement entered into (whether before, on or after
                           the date hereof) between you and the Company;

                  ii)      willfully neglect or fail to perform your material
                           duties or responsibilities to the Company, such that
                           the business or reputation of the Company is (or is
                           threatened to be) materially and adversely affected;

                  iii)     commit an act of embezzlement, theft, fraud or any
                           other act of dishonesty involving the Company or any
                           of its customers; or

                  iv)      are convicted of or plead guilty or no contest to a
                           felony or other crime that involves moral turpitude.

         Your termination for Cause will be effective immediately upon the
         Company's mailing or written transmission of notice of such
         termination. Before terminating your employment for Cause under clauses
         (i) or (ii) above, the Company will specify in writing to you the
         nature of the breach, act, omission, refusal, or failure that it deems
         to constitute Cause and give you 30 days after you receive such notice
         to the correct the situation (and thus avoid termination for Cause), if
         such situation is capable of being corrected, unless the Company agrees
         to extend the time for correction.

         B)       WITHOUT CAUSE. Subject to the applicable provisions in
                  Sections 8 below, the Company may terminate your employment
                  under this Agreement before the end of the Term without Cause.

         C)       DISABILITY. If you become disabled (as defined below), the
                  Company may terminate your employment. You are "disabled" if
                  you are unable, despite whatever reasonable accommodations the
                  law requires, to render services to the Company for more than
                  90 consecutive days because of physical or mental disability,
                  incapacity, or illness. You are also "disabled" if you are
                  found to be disabled within the meaning of the Company's
                  long-term disability insurance coverage as then in effect (or
                  would be so found if you applied for the coverage or
                  benefits).

         D)       GOOD REASON. You may resign for "Good Reason" if the Company,
                  without your consent, (i) materially reduces your Salary, (ii)
                  materially reduces your title, authority or responsibilities,
                  (iii) requires you to work in an office which is outside of a
                  30-mile radius from the location of the Company's principal
                  executive office as of the Effective Date, or (iv) fails to
                  obtain the assumption of and agreement to perform this
                  Agreement by a successor as contemplated in Section 12 hereof.

                  You must give notice to the Company of your intention to
                  resign for Good Reason within 30 days after the occurrence of
                  the event that you assert entitles you to resign for Good
                  Reason. In that notice, you must state the condition that you
                  consider provides you with Good Reason and must give the
                  Company an opportunity to cure the condition within 30 days
                  after your notice (with the 30 day period shortened to ten
                  days if the failure relates to non-payment of Salary and such
                  nonpayment is not cured within five days after you provide
                  written notice of such non-payment to the Company). If the
                  Company fails to cure the condition, your resignation will be
                  effective upon the expiration of the applicable cure period
                  (unless the Board has previously waived such notice period in
                  writing or agreed to a shorter notice period or unless
                  mediation is proceeding in good faith, in which case such
                  resignation will be come effective 15 days after the end of
                  such mediation, if not previously cured).

                  You will not be treated as resigning for Good Reason if the
                  Company already had given notice of termination for Cause as
                  of the date of your notice of resignation.

         E)       DEATH. If you die during the Term, the Term will end as of the
                  date of your death.

8)       CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE TERM.

         A)       PAYMENTS ON TERMINATION. If you resign or the Company
                  terminates your employment with or without Cause or because of
                  disability or death, the Company will pay you any unpaid
                  portion of your Salary pro-rated through the date of actual
                  termination, reimburse any substantiated but unreimbursed
                  business expenses, pay any accrued and unused vacation time
                  (to the extent consistent with the Company's policies), and
                  provide such other benefits as applicable laws or the terms of
                  the benefits require. Except to the extent the law requires
                  otherwise or as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in
                  your option, restricted stock or other equity instrument
                  agreements, neither you nor your beneficiary or estate will
                  have any rights or claims under this Agreement or otherwise to
                  receive severance or any other compensation, or to participate
                  in any other plan, arrangement, or benefit, after such
                  termination or resignation.

         B)       TERMINATION DUE TO DEATH. If your employment is terminated
                  prior to the expiration of the Term by reason of your death,
                  the Company shall, in addition to the payments set forth in
                  Section 8(a), continue to pay your Salary, as then in effect,
                  for a period of 12 months after the date of termination of
                  your employment (after which time the Company shall have no
                  further obligation to pay Salary hereunder). The entitlement
                  of any beneficiary of yours to benefits under any benefit plan
                  shall be determined in accordance with applicable law and the
                  provisions of such plan. In lieu of payments to your estate
                  following your death, you may designate a beneficiary or
                  beneficiaries to whom all payments which may be due under this
                  Agreement will be made in the event of your death. Such
                  designation shall be made on a form delivered to the Company.
                  You shall have the right to change or revoke any such
                  designation from time to time by filing a new

                                  Page 3 of 9
<PAGE>

                  designation or notice of revocation with the Company, and no
                  notice to any beneficiary nor consent by any beneficiary shall
                  be required to effect any such change or revocation. If you
                  shall fail to designate a beneficiary before your death, or if
                  no designated beneficiary survives you, any payments which may
                  be due under this Agreement following your death will be paid
                  to your estate.

         C)       TERMINATION DUE TO DISABILITY. If your employment is
                  terminated prior to the end of the Term due to disability, as
                  determined in accordance with Section 7(c), the Company shall,
                  in addition to the payments set forth in Section 8(a),
                  continue to pay your Salary, as then in effect, for a period
                  of 12 months after the date of termination of your employment
                  (after which time the Company shall have no further obligation
                  to pay Salary hereunder).

         D)       TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY WITHOUT CAUSE OR BY YOU WITH GOOD
                  REASON. Anything contained herein to the contrary
                  notwithstanding, if before the end of the Term the Company
                  terminates your employment without Cause (other than as a
                  result of your death or disability) or you resign for Good
                  Reason, you shall be entitled to the following, in addition to
                  the payments set forth in Section 8(a):

                  i)       the Company shall continue to pay your Salary, as
                           then in effect, for a period of six months after the
                           date of termination of your employment (the
                           "Separation Period") (after which time the Company
                           shall have no further obligation to pay Salary
                           hereunder);

                  ii)      any options, restricted stock or other equity
                           instruments you have received or do receive from the
                           Company shall continue to vest in accordance with the
                           vesting schedule set forth therein and shall remain
                           exercisable throughout the Separation Period, as
                           though you were to continue to be employed by the
                           Company during the Separation Period, notwithstanding
                           any provision to the contrary in any agreement
                           evidencing an option, restricted stock or other
                           equity grant;

                  iii)     the Company shall provide you and your beneficiaries,
                           throughout the Separation Period and at the Company's
                           expense, with continued coverage under the group
                           medical care, disability and life insurance benefit
                           plans or arrangements in which you are participating
                           at the time of termination; provided, however, that
                           if such coverage is precluded by the terms of the
                           Company's benefit or insurance policies, the Company
                           shall make a cash payment to you in an amount
                           sufficient to allow you to obtain comparable benefits
                           for such period; and provided, further, that the
                           Company's obligation to provide such coverage shall
                           be terminated if you obtain equivalent substitute
                           coverage from another employer at any time during the
                           Separation Period; and

                  iv)      if your employment shall have been terminated
                           hereunder within the 12 full calendar month period
                           following the effective date of a Change in Control
                           (as defined below), then a portion of any options,
                           restricted stock or other equity instruments you have
                           received or do receive from the Company (each, an
                           "Equity Award") will become fully exercisable upon
                           such termination of employment, notwithstanding any
                           provision to the contrary in any agreement evidencing
                           an Equity Award. The portion of each such Equity
                           Award that will become fully exercisable under such
                           circumstances shall be equal to the portion, if any,
                           of such Equity Award that would otherwise become
                           exercisable during the one year period following the
                           date of termination of employment, provided that in
                           any event at least 50% of the total number of shares
                           (or equity equivalents) originally subject to such
                           Equity Award (less any shares or equity equivalents
                           previously exercised) shall be exercisable upon such
                           termination of employment. A "Change in Control"
                           means and shall be deemed to have occurred on the
                           earliest of the following dates:

                                  Page 4 of 9
<PAGE>

         (A)      the date on which any "person" or "group" (as such terms are
                  used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange
                  Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), other than an
                  Excluded Owner, obtains "beneficial ownership" (as defined in
                  Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) or a pecuniary interest in 50%
                  or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
                  outstanding securities ("Voting Stock");

         (B)      the consummation by the Company of a merger, consolidation,
                  reorganization or similar transaction, other than a
                  transaction: (A) in which substantially all of the holders of
                  the Company's Voting Stock immediately prior to the
                  consummation of the transaction hold or receive directly or
                  indirectly 50% or more of the voting stock of the resulting
                  entity or a parent company thereof, in substantially the same
                  proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately
                  prior to the transaction; or (B) in which the holders of the
                  Company's capital stock immediately before such transaction
                  will, immediately after such transaction, hold as a group on a
                  fully diluted basis the ability to elect at least a majority
                  of the directors of the surviving corporation (or a parent
                  company);

         (C)      there is consummated a sale, lease, exclusive license or other
                  disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated
                  assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (as determined by
                  the Board), other than a sale, lease, license or other
                  disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated
                  assets of the Company and its subsidiaries to (A) an Excluded
                  Owner or (B) an entity, 50% or more of the combined voting
                  power of the voting securities of which are owned by
                  shareholders of the Company in substantially the same
                  proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately
                  prior to such sale, lease, license or other disposition; or

         (D)      individuals who, on the Effective Date, are members of the
                  Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to
                  constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board;
                  provided, however, that if the appointment or election (or
                  nomination for election) of any new member of the Board was
                  approved or recommended by a majority vote of the members of
                  the Incumbent Board then still in office, such new member
                  shall, for purposes hereof, be considered as a member of the
                  Incumbent Board.

                  An "Excluded Owner" consists of the Company, any entity owned,
                  directly or indirectly, at least 50% by the Company, any
                  Company benefit plan, and any underwriter temporarily holding
                  securities for an offering of such securities.

         E)       TERMINATION BY YOU FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL.
                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you
                  may resign, with or without Good Reason, effective at any time
                  during the one year period commencing on the six month
                  anniversary of the effective date of a Change in Control, upon
                  not less than 30 days' prior written notice to the Company
                  (which may be given prior to such six month anniversary date).
                  Upon any such resignation, you shall be entitled to the
                  following, in addition to the payments set forth in Section
                  8(a):

                  i)       the Company shall continue to pay your Salary, as
                           then in effect, during the Separation Period; and

                  ii)      the Company shall provide you and your beneficiaries,
                           throughout the Separation Period, with continued
                           coverage under the group medical care, disability and
                           life insurance benefit plans or arrangements in which
                           you are participating at the time of termination;
                           provided, however, that if such coverage is precluded
                           by the terms of the Company's benefit or insurance
                           policies, the Company shall make a cash payment to
                           you in an amount sufficient to allow you to obtain
                           comparable benefits for such period; and provided,
                           further, that the Company's obligation to provide
                           such coverage shall be terminated if you obtain
                           equivalent substitute coverage from another employer
                           at any time during such six month period.

         F)       CONDITIONS TO SEPARATION OF EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS.
                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it
                  shall be a condition to the Company's continued obligations
                  under Sections 8(c), (d) and (e) hereof that you comply with,
                  and you agree to return any payments previously made to you
                  under Sections 8(c), (d) or (e) hereof if you fail to comply
                  with, any Restrictive Covenants applicable to you. You are not
                  required to mitigate amounts payable under this Section 8(f)
                  by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor must you return
                  to the Company amounts earned under subsequent employment.

9)       SECTION 409A.

         A)       To the extent that you would otherwise be entitled to any
                  payment (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise)
                  during the six months beginning on termination of employment
                  that would be subject to the additional tax imposed under
                  Section 409A of the Code ("Section 409A"), (i) the payment
                  will not be made to you and instead will be made to a trust in
                  compliance with Revenue Procedure 92-64 (the "Rabbi Trust")
                  and (ii) the payment, together with earnings on it, will be
                  paid to you on the earlier of the six-month anniversary of
                  your Termination Date or your death or disability (within the
                  meaning of Section 409A). Similarly, to the extent you would
                  otherwise be entitled to any benefit (other than a payment)
                  during the six months beginning on your termination date that
                  would be subject to the Section 409A additional tax, the
                  benefit will be delayed and will begin being provided
                  (together, if applicable, with an adjustment to compensate you
                  for the delay) on the earlier of the six-month anniversary of
                  your termination date or your death or disability (within the
                  meaning of Section 409A).

         B)       The Company will not take any action that would expose any
                  payment or benefit to you to the additional tax of Section
                  409A unless (i) the Company is obligated to take the action
                  under an agreement, plan or arrangement to which you are a
                  party, (ii) you request the action, (iii) the Company advises
                  you in writing that the action may result in the imposition of
                  the additional tax and (iv) you subsequently request the
                  action in a writing that acknowledges that you will be
                  responsible for any effect of the action under Section 409A.
                  The Company will hold you harmless for any action it may take
                  in violation of this Section, including any attorney's fees
                  you may incur in enforcing his rights.

         C)       It is the Company's intention that the benefits and rights to
                  which you could become entitled in connection with the
                  termination of employment comply with Section 409A. If you or
                  the Company believe, at any time, that any of such benefit or
                  right does not comply, it will promptly advise the other and
                  will negotiate reasonably and in good faith to amend the terms
                  of such arrangement such that it complies with Section 409A
                  (with the most limited possible economic effect on you and on
                  the Company).

10)      EXPIRATION. The expiration of this Agreement upon the end of the Term
         following the delivery of a Notice of Non-Renewal does not constitute
         termination with Cause nor provide you with Good Reason and does not
         entitle you to any benefits under Section 8(d).

11)      COOPERATION AFTER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Following the termination
         of your employment with the Company for any reason, you shall fully
         cooperate with the Company in all matters relating to the winding up of
         your pending work on behalf of the Company including, but not limited
         to, any litigation in which you are involved, and the orderly transfer
         of any such pending work to other employees of the Company as may be
         designated by the Company. The Company shall reimburse you for any
         out-of-pocket expenses you incur in performing any work on behalf of
         the Company following the termination of your employment.

                                  Page 6 of 9
<PAGE>

12)      RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. The Company and you acknowledge that the
         Restrictive Covenants applicable to you pursuant to any agreement
         entered into between you and the Company (a) shall remain in full force
         and effect, notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this
         Agreement by the parties, and (b) are intended by the parties to
         survive, and do survive, the expiration or termination of this
         Agreement and your employment with the Company.

13)      ASSIGNMENT. The Company shall assign this Agreement and its rights and
         obligations hereunder in whole, but not in part, to any corporation or
         other entity with or into which the Company may hereafter merge or
         consolidate or to which the Company may transfer all or substantially
         all of its assets, if in any such case such corporation or other entity
         shall by operation of law or expressly in writing assume all
         obligations of the Company hereunder as fully as if it had originally
         been made a party hereto, but may not otherwise may not assign or
         otherwise transfer this Agreement or any or all of its rights, duties,
         obligations, or interests hereunder. You may not assign or otherwise
         transfer this Agreement or any or all of your rights, duties,
         obligations, or interests hereunder.

14)      SEVERABILITY. If the final determination of an arbitrator or a court of
         competent jurisdiction declares, after the expiration of the time
         within which judicial review (if permitted) of such determination may
         be perfected, that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid
         or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions will be
         unimpaired, and the invalid or unenforceable term or provision will be
         deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable
         and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or
         unenforceable term or provision.

15)      AMENDMENT; WAIVER. Neither you nor the Company may modify, amend or
         waive the terms of this Agreement other than by a written instrument
         signed by you and by another executive officer of the Company duly
         authorized by the Board. Either party's waiver of the other party's
         compliance with any provision of this Agreement is not a waiver of any
         other provision of this Agreement or of any subsequent breach by such
         party of a provision of this Agreement.

16)      WITHHOLDING. All payments required to be made by the Company to you
         under this Agreement shall be subject to the withholding of such
         amounts, if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the
         Company may reasonably determine should be withheld for payment to the
         applicable taxing authorities pursuant to any applicable law or
         regulation.

17)      GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
         State of Maryland exclusive of its choice of law provisions.

18)      SURVIVAL. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
         Agreement, the provisions of Sections 7 through 20 of this Agreement
         shall survive the termination or expiration, for any reason, of this
         Agreement.

19)      NOTICES. Notices and other communications under this Agreement must be
         given in writing by personal delivery, by certified mail, return
         receipt requested, or by overnight delivery. You should send or deliver
         your notices to the Company's corporate headquarters, to the attention
         of the Company's Secretary. The Company will send or deliver any
         notices given to you at your address as reflected in the Company's
         personnel records. You and the Company may change the notice address by
         providing notice of such change. You and the Company agree that notice
         is received on the date it is personally delivered, the date it is
         received by certified mail, or the date of guaranteed delivery by
         overnight service, at the applicable address set forth above.

20)      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement supersedes any prior oral or written
         agreements, negotiations, commitments, and writings between you and the
         Company with respect to the subject matter hereof. All such other
         agreements, negotiations, commitments, and writings will have no
         further force or effect; and the parties to any such other negotiation,
         commitment, agreement, or writing will have no further rights or
         obligations thereunder.
