Dear Cecilia:

     Reference  is made to the Offer  Letter  dated  January  13,  2006  ("Offer
Letter") between you and Frontier Communications  Corporation (formerly Citizens
Communications Company) (the "Company").

     The terms of the Enhanced Severance Benefit referred to in the Offer Letter
are hereby amended as follows:

     If, within one year  following a "Change in Control" (as defined  below) of
the Company,  you have a  "Separation  from  Service" (as defined  below) either
because (a) your  employment is terminated  by the Company  without  "Cause" (as
defined  below)  or (b) you  terminate  your  employment  as a  result  of (i) a
material  decrease  in your base  salary,  target  bonus or long term  incentive
compensation  target  from  those in effect  immediately  prior to the Change in
Control for any reason  other than  Cause;  (ii) a material  relocation  of your
principal  office  location (for this purpose,  a relocation  more than 50 miles
from the Company's Stamford, Connecticut headquarters area will be automatically
deemed  material)  or (iii) a  material  decrease  in your  responsibilities  or
authority  for any reason other than Cause (and prior to your  terminating  your
employment  you provide the Company  with notice of the  decrease or  relocation
within 90 days of the occurrence of such condition,  the Company does not remedy
the  condition  within 30 days of such  notice,  and you  Separate  from Service
within two years of the initial occurrence of one or more such conditions),  you
shall be  entitled  to a lump sum  payment  equal to one year's  base salary and
bonus target  (based on the then current level of salary and bonus target or, if
greater,  that in effect  immediately  prior to the Change in  Control)  and all
restrictions on restricted  shares held by you shall  immediately lapse and such
restricted shares shall become  fully-vested and  non-forfeitable.  The lump sum
payment will be made on the Expiration Date, as defined below.

     A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred:

     (A) When any  "person"  as  defined in  Section  3(a)(9) of the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the  "Exchange  Act"),  and as used in Section
13(d) and 14(d) thereof,  including a "group" as defined in Section 13(d) of the
Exchange  Act (but  excluding  the Company and any  subsidiary  and any employee
benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any subsidiary (including
any trustee of such plan acting as trustee)),  directly or  indirectly,  becomes
the  "beneficial  owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange  Act),  of
securities of the Company  representing 50% or more of the combined voting power
of the Company's then outstanding securities; or

     (B) Upon the  consummation  of any  merger  or other  business  combination
involving the Company,  a sale of  substantially  all of the  Company's  assets,
liquidation  or  dissolution  of the Company or a  combination  of the foregoing
transactions (the "Transactions") other than a Transaction immediately following
which the shareholders of the Company  immediately prior to the Transaction own,
in the  same  proportion,  at  least  51%  of  the  voting  power,  directly  or
indirectly,  of (i) the  surviving  corporation  in any  such  merger  or  other
business  combination;  (ii) the  purchaser  of or  successor  to the  Company's
assets;  (iii) both the surviving  corporation and the purchaser in the event of
any combination of Transactions;  or (iv) the parent company owning 100% of such
surviving  corporation,  purchaser  or both the  surviving  corporation  and the
purchaser, as the case may be.

     "Cause" shall mean your (a) willful and continued  failure (other than as a
result of physical or mental illness or injury) to perform your material  duties
in effect  immediately  prior to the Change in Control which continues beyond 10
days after a written demand for  substantial  performance is delivered to you by
the  Company,  which  demand  shall  identify  and  describe  each  failure with
sufficient  specificity  to allow you to  respond,  (b)  willful or  intentional
conduct that causes material and demonstrable injury,  monetary or otherwise, to
the  Company  or (c)  conviction  of, or a plea of nolo  contendere  to, a crime
constituting  (i) a felony  under  the laws of the  United  States  or any State
thereof, or (ii) a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude. For these purposes, no
act  or  failure  to  act  on  your  part  shall  be  considered   "willful"  or
"intentional"  unless it is done,  or omitted to be done by you in bad faith and
without reasonable belief that your action or inaction was in the best interests
of the Company. Any act or failure to act based upon authority given pursuant to
a resolution  duly adopted by the Board of Directors or based upon the advice of
counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to
be done, by you in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

         If it is determined (as hereafter provided) that any payment or
distribution by the Company to or for your benefit, whether paid or payable or
distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this letter agreement or
otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program
or arrangement, including without limitation any stock option, restricted stock
award, stock appreciation right or similar right, or the lapse or termination of
any restriction on or the vesting or exercisability of any of the foregoing (a
"Severance Payment"), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) by reason of being "contingent
on a change in ownership or control" of the Company, within the meaning of
Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or to any similar
tax imposed by state or local law, or any interest or penalties with respect to
such excise tax (such tax or taxes, together with any such interest and
penalties, are hereafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the
Severance Payment shall be payable either (i) in full or (ii) as to such lesser
amount which would result in no portion of the Severance Payment being subject
to the Excise Tax ("Capped Payment"), whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking
into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise
Tax, results in your receipt on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of
economic benefits to you, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such
benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code.

     Subject  to  the  provisions  of  immediately   preceding  paragraph,   all
determinations required to be made pursuant to this letter agreement,  including
whether an Excise Tax is payable by you and the amount of such Excise Tax, shall
be made by the nationally  recognized firm of certified public  accountants (the
"Accounting  Firm") used by the Company  prior to the Change in Control  (or, if
such  Accounting  Firm  declines  to  serve,  the  Accounting  Firm  shall  be a
nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants selected by you). The
Accounting  Firm shall be  directed by the  Company or you,  as  applicable,  to
submit its preliminary  determination  and detailed  supporting  calculations to
both  the  Company  and you  within  15  calendar  days  after  the date of your
termination  of employment,  if applicable,  and any other such time or times as
may be requested by the Company or you. If the Accounting  Firm  determines that
any Excise Tax is payable by you,  the Company  shall either (x) make payment of
the Severance Payment,  or (y) reduce the Severance Payment by the amount which,
based on the Accounting Firm's determination and calculations, would provide you
with the Capped Payment  (except that any portion of the Severance  Payment that
constitutes  deferred  compensation that is subject to Section 409A shall not be
reduced,  and its time and form of  payment  shall not be altered as a result of
this process), and pay to you such reduced amount, in each case, less any Excise
Taxes, federal, state, and local income and employment withholding taxes and any
other  amounts  required  to be  deducted  or  withheld  by  the  Company  under
applicable  statute or regulation.  If the Accounting  Firm  determines  that no
Excise  Tax is  payable  by you,  it shall,  at the same  time as it makes  such
determination,  furnish you with an opinion that you have substantial  authority
not to report any Excise Tax on your federal,  state,  local income or other tax
return. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and opinion letter shall be
paid by the Company in connection with the calculations required by this letter.

     The  provisions  in  this  letter  regarding  lapsing  of  restrictions  on
restricted  stock in certain  circumstances  in the event of a Change in Control
will remain in effect as long as you are a member of the Senior  Leadership Team
("SLT").  If at any time you are no longer a member of the SLT, such  provisions
will not apply.

     You shall not receive any payments or benefits to which you may be entitled
hereunder  unless  you agree to execute a release  of all then  existing  claims
against the Company,  its  subsidiaries,  affiliates,  shareholders,  directors,
officers,  employees and agents in relation to claims relating to or arising out
of your employment or the business of the Company;  provided,  however, that any
such release shall not bar or prevent you from  responding to any  litigation or
other  proceeding  initiated  by a  released  party and  asserting  any claim or
counterclaim  you  have in such  litigation  or other  proceeding  as if no such
release  had been  given as to such  party,  nor shall it bar you from  claiming
rights that arise under,  or that are  preserved by, this letter  agreement.  To
comply with this paragraph,  you must sign and return the release within 45 days
of the  termination  of your  employment,  and you must not  revoke  it during a
seven-day  revocation period that begins when the release is signed and returned
to the Company.  Then following the expiration of this revocation period,  there
shall occur the  "Expiration  Date," which is the 53rd day following the date of
termination of your employment.

     To the extent that a payment of Section 409A compensation under this letter
agreement is based upon your having a termination of employment, "termination of
employment"  shall have the same  meaning as  "Separation  from  Service"  under
Section  409A(a)(2)(A)(i)  of the Code.  In  addition,  to avoid  having  such a
separation  from service occur after your  termination of employment,  you shall
not have (after your  termination of employment) any duties or  responsibilities
that are inconsistent with the termination of employment being treated as such a
separation from service as of the date of such termination.

     This letter  agreement  sets forth the entire  agreement and  understanding
between the Company and you relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
and replaces  all prior  discussions  and  agreements  between us regarding  the
subject matter hereof,  including,  without  limitation,  the memorandum,  dated
September 7, 2007,  addressed to you from Maggie Wilderotter  entitled "Terms of
Restricted  Stock  Award"  and the terms of the  Offer  Letter  relating  to the
Enhanced  Severance  Benefit.  This letter  agreement  can only be modified by a
subsequent  written  agreement  executed  by the  Company  and you.  This letter
agreement  shall be governed by and  interpreted in accordance  with the laws of
the State of Connecticut, without regard to its conflicts of laws or principles.

     It is the intention of the parties that the lump sum described in the third
paragraph  of this letter  should be exempt from  Section  409A as a  short-term
deferral, and that the restricted stock should also be exempt from Section 409A,
and this letter agreement in the normal course is to be interpreted accordingly.
Nonetheless,  if you are a  "specified  employee"  within the meaning of Section
409A and any amounts or other  compensation  are (i)  payable  under this letter
agreement,  (ii)  subject to Section  409A as  deferred  compensation  and (iii)
payable  on  account  of your  Separation  from  Service,  then such  amounts or
compensation may not be paid until six months after your Separation from Service
date.  Finally,  the parties  intend at all times that no payment or entitlement
pursuant to this letter agreement will give rise to any adverse tax consequences
to either party  pursuant to Section 409A,  and this letter  agreement  shall be
interpreted consistently with this paragraph. The term "Separation from Service"
shall have the meaning given to it by Section 409A (or any successor  provision)
("Section 409A") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

     The Company  will require any  successor  (whether  direct or indirect,  by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
business  and/or assets of the Company to assume  expressly and agree to perform
this letter agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company
would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. "Company"
means the Company as  hereinbefore  defined and any  successor  to its  business
and/or  assets as  aforesaid  that  assumes  and agrees to perform  this  letter
agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

     To acknowledge  your  acceptance of the terms and conditions of this letter
agreement,  please  sign the bottom of this  letter  agreement  and fax it to me
directly at (203)  614-4627.  Also,  please return the  originally  signed offer
letter to my attention.

                                      Sincerely,

Ms. Hilary E. Glassman
300 East 71st Street
New York, NY 10021

Dear Hilary:

It is my pleasure to confirm our offer of employment  for the position of Senior
Vice  President,  General  Counsel and  Secretary  for  Citizens  Communications
Company (the "Company"). The work location for this position is in Stamford, CT.
As agreed, the start date for your employment with the Company is July 18, 2005.

Your total direct annual compensation is based upon three components:  an annual
base  salary of  $250,000,  an annual  incentive  target of 100% of base  salary
(currently,  $250,000,  payable in cash) and long-term incentive compensation in
the form of an annual award of 10,000 restricted shares at target (to be granted
annually  based on  performance,  which shares shall vest in equal  installments
over a  four-year  period).  The annual  base  salary is paid on a  semi-monthly
basis. The annual cash incentive compensation is earned based upon achieving the
goals of the Citizens  Incentive Plan and is paid on an annual basis,  generally
towards the end of the first quarter  following the  completion of the operating
year.  Your annual cash  incentive  compensation  for 2005 is a guaranteed  cash
payment of  $275,000  of which  $25,000  will be paid  up-front in the form of a
one-time  cash  sign-on  bonus  payable  within 30 days of your hire  date.  The
guaranteed  bonus is for 2005  only and all  subsequent  years  bonuses  will be
earned based upon achieving the goals of the Plan.

If (i) you are terminated  without  "cause",  (ii) resign for "good reason",  or
(iii)  Citizens  Communications  has a "change in control" and  thereafter  your
responsibility,  title,  base pay or cash target incentive (as a percent of your
base pay), or annual restricted stock award is decreased,  or your work location
is moved more than 25 miles from  Stamford,  CT, you will be entitled to receive
(and will be paid no later than seven  business days after the occurrence of the
relevant  event)  one-year of your then current  base pay in cash,  100% of your
then current target cash incentive  compensation pro-rated for the Plan year and
one year of continued medical, dental, life and other health benefits and all of
your restricted  shares will  immediately vest and become  non-forfeitable.  For
purposes of this paragraph, in no event shall each of your annual base salary or
target cash incentive  compensation  be less than $250,000.  In the event of the
occurrence of any of the events  described in clauses (i) through (iii) above in
this  paragraph,  you will also be entitled to the amount of the guaranteed cash
incentive  compensation  referred to above,  if not  previously  paid. The terms
"cause", "good reason" and "change in control" shall have the meanings set forth
on Exhibit A hereto.

<PAGE>

While  employed  with the Company  and  thereafter,  with  respect to the period
during which you were employed by the Company,  you shall be  indemnified by the
Company to the fullest extent permitted by its charter,  by-laws or the terms of
any insurance or other  indemnity  policy  applicable  to other  officers of the
Company  (including  any  rights  to  advance  or  reimbursement  of legal  fees
thereunder).  The  Company  shall  provide  that your  right to  indemnification
hereunder by the Company or any  insurance or indemnity  policy shall at no time
be less than the right of any  officer  of the  Company,  in the same or similar
circumstances.

This offer is contingent upon the Company's  receipt of acceptable  results of a
background check and reference checks including,  criminal record check,  credit
check, drug test and verification of education and employment.

Enclosed is a New Hire Kit including an Employment Application which you need to
complete and fax back to me at (203) 634-4640. Also included in the New Hire Kit
will be Citizens Employee Handbook, Code of Conduct,  Electronic  Communications
Policy and  benefit  plan  information.  Please be advised  that your health and
welfare  benefits  begin  on  your  30th  day of  employment  and as a  Citizens
Communications  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.

Federal law requires that you provide documentation  confirming your eligibility
to work in the United States.  You will receive a list of documents that you may
use to establish your identity and employment  eligibility in your New Hire Kit.
Please bring the appropriate  documents with you when you report to work on your
first day.

This offer is not an express or implied promise or guarantee of employment for a
specified  period of time.  Subject  to the  other  terms of this  letter,  your
employment by the Company is at will and is subject to the  conditions set forth
in the Code of Conduct as well as Company policies and applicable Federal, State
and local laws.

Hilary, we are very excited about the opportunity to work with you. On behalf of
Citizens  Communications,  I welcome you to our team and eagerly  anticipate the
benefits  of your  leadership.  Please  do not  hesitate  to  call  me with  any
questions regarding this offer.

To  acknowledge  your  acceptance  of this  offer,  please  email me  directly a
confirmation  of your  acceptance  of this offer.  In addition,  please sign the
bottom of this offer letter and return the original to me directly on your first
day of employment.

Sincerely,

/s/ Jeanne DiSturco

EXHIBIT A

"Cause" shall mean your willful and continued failure (other than as a result of
physical or mental  illness or injury) to perform  your  material  duties to the
Company or its subsidiaries (as described in the letter to which this exhibit is
attached) which continues  beyond 10 days after a written demand for substantial
performance is delivered to you by the Company (the "Cure Period"), which demand
shall  identify and describe each failure with  sufficient  specificity to allow
you to respond,  (B) willful or  intentional  conduct  that causes  material and
demonstrable injury,  monetary or otherwise,  to the Company; (C) conviction of,
or a plea of nolo  contendere  to, a crime  constituting  (x) a felony under the
laws of the United States or any state  thereof or (y) a  misdemeanor  involving
moral turpitude. For purposes of this definition,  no act, or failure to act, on
your part shall be considered  "willful" or "intentional"  unless it is done, or
omitted to be done, by you in bad faith and without  reasonable belief that your
action or inaction was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure
to act, based upon authority  given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the
Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be  conclusively
presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by you in good faith and in the best
interests of the Company.

"Good  Reason"  shall mean (A) the  failure of the Company to pay or cause to be
paid  your  base  salary or annual  cash  incentive  compensation,  or grant the
restricted  shares  when  due  hereunder,  (B) any  substantial  and  continuing
diminution in your position,  authority or responsibilities from those described
in this letter to which this exhibit is  attached,  (C) any  relocation  of your
principal   office  location  more  than  25  miles  outside  of  the  Stamford,
Connecticut metropolitan area or (D) any other material breach by the Company of
the terms of this letter;  provided that any of the events  described in clauses
(A), (B), (C) or (D) of this definition shall constitute good reason only if the
Company  fails to cure such  event  within  10 days  after  receipt  from you of
written  notice of the event  which  constitutes  good reason  (with  sufficient
specificity from you for the Company to respond to such claim).

"Change in Control" shall be deemed to have  occurred:  (A) when any "person" as
defined in Section  3(a)(9) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), and as used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) thereof,  including
a "group" as defined in Section  13(d) of the  Exchange Act (but  excluding  the
Company and any subsidiary and any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained
by the Company or any  subsidiary  (including any trustee of such plan acting as
trustee)), directly or indirectly, becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange  Act), of  securities of the Company  representing
50% or more of the  combined  voting  power of the  Company's  then  outstanding
securities; or

<PAGE>

(B) Upon the consummation of any merger or other business combination  involving
the Company, a sale of substantially all of the Company's assets, liquidation or
dissolution of the Company or a combination of the foregoing  transactions  (the

shareholders of the Company  immediately  prior to the  Transaction  own, in the
same proportion,  at least 51% of the voting power,  directly or indirectly,  of
(i) the surviving  corporation in any such merger or other business combination;
(ii) the  purchaser  of or  successor to the  Company's  assets;  (iii) both the
surviving  corporation  and the  purchaser  in the event of any  combination  of
Transactions;  or  (iv)  the  parent  company  owning  100%  of  such  surviving
corporation,  purchaser or both the surviving corporation and the purchaser,  as
the case may be.
