 Exhibit 10.1 
 

 
 September 17, 2006 
 Mr. Michael J. Mahoney 
 6 Planetree Court 
 Newtown, PA 18940 
 Dear Mike: 
 This letter constitutes the agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and Commonwealth Telephone Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”)
regarding the change of control bonus due to you under certain circumstances as described below and previously discussed with you by myself and the other members of the Compensation/Pension Committee. 
 Whereas, it is acknowledged that you did not receive any grant of long term incentive awards during 2006, as the Board decided to defer any decision on
your long-term compensation until such time as the Board and you agreed on the Company’s strategic direction; and 
 Whereas, the Board
of Directors of the Company has decided to pursue the potential sale of the Company and has determined that it is appropriate to create a Change of Control Bonus arrangement for you to optimize the benefits to the Shareholders as a result of the
sale process; and 
 Whereas, it is agreed that you are primarily responsible for the execution of the potential sale of the Company and the
ultimate benefit to be received by the Shareholders as a result of said sale of the Company. 
 Now, Therefore, in consideration of the terms
and conditions set forth herein, and agreeing to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follow. 
 1. Bonus. In the event of a
Change of Control (as defined in Section 2), you will receive a bonus in an amount of cash equal to at least $1.5M and as much as $3M (less applicable withholding taxes and other deductions required by law). The final amount of the bonus will
be at the discretion of the Company’s Compensation/Pension Committee (the “Committee”). The Committee will take into consideration your forbearance of any long term incentive award in 2006; your performance during the Change of
Control process; and the value delivered to the Shareholders of the Company as a result of the Change of Control. Said bonus will be paid in a lump sum amount immediately after the Change of Control provided that you do not terminate your employment
with the Company (except for Good Reason) and have not been terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined in Section 3 below) prior to the Change of Control. However, you will still receive at least the minimum bonus payment immediately after
the Change of Control if you terminate your employment with the Company for Good Reason (as defined in Section 4 below).

 2. Change of Control. For purposes of the Agreement, “Change of Control” shall mean any
“change in ownership or effective control” of the Company within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and related Treasury guidance and regulations (collectively, “Section 409A”). 
 3. Termination for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) your gross misconduct in the performance of your
duties for the Company; (ii) your action or failure to act which results in material injury to the assets, business prospects or reputation of the Company; (iii) your commission of a felony; or (iv) your appropriation of a material
business opportunity of the Company. The determination as to whether “Cause” exists shall be made by the Committee and such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons. 
 4. Termination for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean a material reduction in your compensation
or/and employee benefits; or a material reduction in your position/job responsibilities or non-assumption of this Agreement by any successor of this Company in connection with this Change of Control. 
 5. General Release. In consideration of the promises and consideration set forth herein, you agree to execute a General Release in favor of the
Company in the form set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. Said General Release will be executed by you simultaneously with your receipt of the Bonus set forth in Section 1. 
 6. Tax Indemnity. If it is determined that any payments and benefits that you receive from the Company or an Affiliate as a result of this
Agreement will result in your being subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, then the Company will make a Gross-Up Payment (as defined below) to or on your behalf and when any such determination is made; provided you take
such action (other than waiving your right to any payments or benefits) as the Company reasonably requests under the circumstances to mitigate or challenge such tax. Any such determination will be made in accordance with Sections 280G and 4999 of
the Code and any other applicable law, regulations, rulings or case law. If the Company reasonably requests that you take action to avoid assessment of, or to mitigate or challenge, any such tax or assessment, including restructuring, your rights to
receive any payments or benefits to which you are entitled (other than under this paragraph), you agree to consider such request (but in no event to waive or limit your right to any payments or benefits in a manner that would not be neutral to you
from a financial point of view), and in connection with any such consideration, the Company will provide such information and advice as you may reasonably request and will pay for all reasonable expenses incurred in effecting your compliance with
such request and any related taxes, fines, penalties, interest and other assessments. The term “Gross-Up Payment” means an additional amount such that you will, on an after-tax basis (including any income tax, payroll tax, further excise
tax, interest, penalties and other assessments levied on any payment or benefit) receive the full amount of the payments and benefits for which the Company is liable, as if there was no excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code on any of your
payments or benefits. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to return to the Company the excess of any Gross-Up Payment made to you over the payment which would have been sufficient to put you in such same after-tax position. Nothing
in this Section 6 is intended to violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and to the extent that any advance or payment obligation hereunder would do so, such obligation will be modified so as to make the advance a nonrefundable payment to you and

 the payment obligation null and void. This Section 6 will continue in effect until you agree that all of the
Company’s obligations to you under this Section 6 have been satisfied in full or a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final determination that the Company has no further obligations to you under this Section 6, whichever comes
first. 
 7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its
conflict of law principles. 
 The compensation in this Agreement is separate from and in addition to all other remuneration and benefits you
are entitled to receive in your current position with the Company. 
 Kindly indicate your agreement to the foregoing by signing in the space
provided below.

 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the undersigned agree as follows:

 2. The parties agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with any steps required to be taken
as part of their obligations under this Agreement. In addition, Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company in connection with any administrative or litigation proceedings that may arise in the future, as to matters on which he may have personal

describe, characterize or disclose any such information in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, orally or in writing to anyone not a party to this settlement agreement, except to the extent required by law or to say “the matter has
been resolved” if asked, excluding those persons or advisors who have a need to know. Both parties shall secure the agreement of such individuals to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement prior to disclosure. Both parties further
understand that disclosure of this Agreement and/or the terms and conditions herein by him or them, or by anyone acting on their behalf, shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement. The Executive and the Company have the right to seek any and all

Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. 
 12. Each side shall be responsible for its own
attorney’s fees and costs.
