Dear Sue,

It is my pleasure to confirm our offer of employment for the position of Senior
Vice President and Controller, which is the designated Chief Accounting Officer
for the Company.  The work location for this position will be our Stamford, CT
office and you will be reporting to Don Shassian, Chief Financial Officer.  Your
start date will be April 15th, 2011.

Your executive compensation program includes five principle components:

 
1) Annual base salary of $270,000 (less applicable taxes) paid on a semi-monthly
basis,

 
2) Frontier Bonus Plan with an annual target incentive of 50% ($135,000) which
is paid out based on company and personal performance. Your first year payout
will be pro-rated based on your date of employment.

 
3) Frontier’s Equity Award Program (“EAP”) which includes Restricted Stock
Awards, generally in the first quarter of each year and dividends paid
quarterly. Eligibility for any given plan does not guarantee award values since
Frontier’s Executive Compensation Program is based on performance of the company
and the executive. The target for the SVP level is $160,000 annually.  These
shares will vest in four equal 25% annual installments commencing one year from
grant date, and you will be paid dividends on the unvested shares.

 
4) In addition and upon hire, you will be granted 20,000 shares of Frontier
Communications Corporation Common Stock. This Restricted Stock Award is subject
to approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. These
shares will vest in four equal 25% annual installments commencing one year from
your hire date.

 
5) You will also receive a $30,000 sign-on bonus (subject to applicable taxes)
contingent upon execution of a twelve (12) month pro-rated promissory note
(attached).  The sign-on bonus is paid within four weeks of your start date.

This offer will additionally include an enhanced severance package equal to
twenty-six (26) weeks of your base salary should Frontier cease your employment
not for cause (for cause would include performance related or gross misconduct)
or voluntary resignation.

Please be advised that your health and welfare benefits will begin on your 30th
day of employment and as a Frontier employee, you will be eligible to
participate in a full range of benefits.  Please bring all of the original
paperwork with you on your first day of work.

This offer and subsequent employment is contingent upon Frontier’s receipt of
acceptable results of a background check and reference checks including,
criminal record check, drug screening, and verification of education, employment
and professional references.  Certain positions will also require a motor
vehicle or credit check.
