SECOND AMENDMENT

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) dated as of April 9, 2014 to the Loan Agreement referenced below is between Vocus, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors identified on the signature pages hereto and Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as amended, modified and supplemented from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) dated as of February 27, 2012 among the Borrower and the Bank, the Bank has agreed to make credit extensions available to the Borrower; and

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested an amendment to the Loan Agreement and the Bank has agreed to the requested amendment on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

  2.2   In Section 2.4 of the Loan Agreement the reference to “BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate” is amended to read “LIBOR Daily Floating Rate”.

  2.3   On Schedule 1.1 of the Loan Agreement the definition of “BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate” is deleted and a new definition for “LIBOR Daily Floating Rate” is inserted in the appropriate alphabetical order to read as follows:

LIBOR Daily Floating Rate” means a fluctuating rate of interest which can change on each banking day. The rate will be adjusted on each banking day to equal the London Interbank Offered Rate (or a comparable or successor rate which is approved by the Bank) for U.S. Dollar deposits for delivery on the date in question for a one month term beginning on that date. The Bank will use the London Interbank Offered Rate as published by Bloomberg (or other commercially available source providing quotations of such rate as selected by the Bank from time to time) as determined at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days prior to the date in question, as adjusted from time to time in the Bank’s sole discretion for reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory costs. If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the rate will be determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by the Bank. A “London Banking Day” is a day on which banks in London are open for business and dealing in offshore dollars.

  2.4   In Section 8.3(d) the phrase “on the date of this Agreement” is amended to read “on the effective date of the Second Amendment to this Agreement”.
