Indemnification of Directors and Officers.<a name="Item6_IndemnificationOfDirectorsA_123120"></a></font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Cogent is incorporated under the laws of the State of
Delaware. Reference is made to Section&nbsp;102(b)(7)&nbsp;of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, or DGCL, which enables a corporation in its original
certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the
personal liability of a director for violations of the director&#146;s fiduciary
duty, except (1)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(3)&nbsp;pursuant to Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, which provides for liability
of directors for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or
redemptions, or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which a director derived an
improper personal benefit.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Reference is also made to Section&nbsp;145 of the
DGCL, which provides that a corporation may indemnify any person, including an
officer or director, who is, or is threatened to be made, party to any
threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in
the right of such corporation, by reason of the fact that such person was an
officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving
at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding, provided such officer, director, employee or agent acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the corporation&#146;s best interest and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may
indemnify any officer or director in an action by or in the right of the
corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to
be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the
merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the
corporation must indemnify him against the expenses that such officer or
director actually and reasonably incurred.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Cogent&#146;s Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and its Bylaws provide for indemnification of the officers and
directors to the full extent permitted by applicable law.</font></p>

liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Item 5. Interests

Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Cogent is incorporated under the laws of the State of
Delaware. Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, or DGCL, which enables a corporation in its original
certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the
personal liability of a director for violations of the director's fiduciary
duty, except (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(3) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, which provides for liability
of directors for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or
redemptions, or (4) for any transaction from which a director derived an
improper personal benefit.
Reference is also made to Section 145 of the
DGCL, which provides that a corporation may indemnify any person, including an
officer or director, who is, or is threatened to be made, party to any
threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in
the right of such corporation, by reason of the fact that such person was an
officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving
at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding, provided such officer, director, employee or agent acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the corporation's best interest and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may
indemnify any officer or director in an action by or in the right of the
corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to
be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the
merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the
corporation must indemnify him against the expenses that such officer or
director actually and reasonably incurred.
Cogent's Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and its Bylaws provide for indemnification of the officers and
directors to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)  The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes:
(1)           To
file, during any period in which offers or sale are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act");
(ii)
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) shall not apply to information contained in periodic reports filed
by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
(2)           That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
4
(3)           To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b)  The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each filing of Cogent's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(h)  Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
