Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The following amendments to the Cogent Communications Group, Inc. 2004 Incentive Award Plan (the "Plan") were approved at a meeting of Cogent’s board of directors on June 20, 2007. The amendments shall apply only to awards made to employees under the Plan after June 20, 2007.

Option strike price

All options granted to employees shall have a strike price not less than the market price of the company’s common stock on the date of grant of the option.

Normal Vesting

Restricted stock that does not vest on the basis of meeting performance targets shall not vest at a rate that would cause the following vesting schedule to be exceeded: no vesting prior to the first anniversary of the grant; no more than 1/3 vested prior to the second anniversary of the grant; and no more than 2/3 vested prior to the third anniversary of the grant.

Options and restricted stock that vest based on meeting performance targets shall not vest prior to the first anniversary of the grant.
Accelerated Vesting

Vesting of restricted stock and options granted to employees shall not accelerate except in the following circumstances: death, disability, change of control of the company, and retirement. An award that provides for acceleration of vesting in the event of a change of control shall not provide for acceleration that would result in the employee receiving more than three times his or her annual compensation from acceleration of the award as a result of the change of control. Awards of restricted stock and options shall be measured against this standard using value of restricted stock and options and compensation at the time of the grant.
