                          AMENDED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

                               Mary A. Wilderotter


     This AMENDED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is dated as of December
29,  2008  (the  "Effective  Date")  by  and  between  Frontier   Communications
Corporation (the "Company") and Mary A. Wilderotter ("Executive").

     WHEREAS,  Executive and the Company  entered into an  employment  agreement
(the  "Original  Agreement")  as of  November 1, 2004 (the  "Original  Effective
Date"),  embodying  the terms of  Executive's  employment  and pursuant to which
Executive  has been  serving as  President  and Chief  Executive  Officer of the
Company;

     WHEREAS,  this Agreement  amends and restates the Original  Agreement as of
the Effective  Date in order,  inter alia, to evidence  formal  compliance  with
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,  and the guidance
thereunder  (such Section,  referenced  herein as "Section 409A"; and such code,
referenced herein as the "Code");

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the premises  and mutual  covenants
herein and for other  good and  valuable  consideration,  the  parties  agree as
follows:

     1. Term of  Employment.  Subject  to the  provisions  of  Section 8 of this
Agreement,  Executive  shall  be  employed  by  the  Company,  and  any  of  its
subsidiaries  that the Board of  Directors of the Company  (the  "Board")  shall
designate for a period  commencing on the Original  Effective Date and ending on
the fifth anniversary  thereof (the "Initial Term"), on the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Following the Initial Term, the term
of employment under this Agreement shall automatically be renewed for additional
terms of one year on the last day of the Initial  Term and each  anniversary  of
the last day of the Initial Term (the Initial Term and any annual  extensions of
the  term of this  Agreement,  referenced  together  herein  as the  "Employment
Term"),  subject  to  Section 8 of this  Agreement,  unless  the  Company or the
Executive  gives the other party written  notice of non-renewal at least 90 days
prior to such last day or anniversary.  A written notice of non-renewal given by
the  Company  to the  Executive  shall be  considered  a Notice  of  Termination
(pursuant to Section 8(e) of this  Agreement) of a termination  without Cause by
the Company and shall constitute a termination  without Cause under Section 8(c)
of this  Agreement at the  expiration of such  Employment  Term for all purposes
hereunder.

     2. Position.

     a. During the Employment Term, Executive shall serve as President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and shall report directly to the Board. In such
position,  Executive shall have such duties and authority  commensurate with the
position of chief executive  officer of a company of similar size and nature. As
soon as practicable after the Original Effective Date,  Executive shall become a
member of the Board.


<PAGE>

     b. During the  Employment  Term,  Executive  will devote  Executive's  full
business time and best efforts (excluding any periods of vacation or sick leave)
to the  performance of Executive's  duties  hereunder and will not engage in any
other  business,  profession or occupation for  compensation  or otherwise which
would conflict or interfere with the rendition of such services  either directly
or  indirectly,  without the prior written  consent of the Board;  provided that
nothing herein shall preclude Executive (i) subject to the prior approval of the
Board,  from  accepting  appointment  to or  continue  to serve on any  board of
directors  or  trustees  of  any   business   corporation   or  any   charitable
organization,  or (ii) from  making  personal or family  investments;  provided,
however,  in each case under this Section 2(b)(i) or (ii) that such  activities,
in the  aggregate,  do  not  conflict  or  interfere  with  the  performance  of
Executive's duties hereunder or conflict with Section 10 of this Agreement.

     3. Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay Executive
a base  salary at the annual  rate of  $700,000,  payable  by  payroll  check in
substantially equal periodic payments in accordance with the Company's practices
for other executive employees,  as such practices may be determined from time to
time.  Executive shall be entitled to such increases in Executive's base salary,
if any, as may be  determined  from time to time in the sole  discretion  of the
Board.  Executive's  annual  base  salary,  as in effect  from time to time,  is
hereinafter referred to as the "Base Salary".

     4. Annual Bonus. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to
earn an annual cash bonus award (an "Annual  Bonus"),  payable by payroll check,
with a  target  bonus  amount  equal  to 100% of the Base  Salary  (the  "Target
Bonus"),  with  adjustments  based on the  schedules  set forth in the  Citizens
Incentive  Plan or any successor  plan, as each may be amended from time to time
(the "Incentive  Plan") but the adjustments  shall in no event be less favorable
to  Executive  than  those set forth in such  Plan for the 2004  calendar  year;
provided,  however,  that in no event  shall the Annual  Bonus in respect of the
2004 calendar year be less than  $700,000.  The Annual Bonus for a calendar year
shall be paid no later than permitted under the Incentive Plan and no later than
the date that other  senior  executive  officers  of the  Company are paid their
annual bonuses for such calendar year.

     5. Long-Term Incentive. As soon as practicable after the Original Effective
Date, Executive shall upon commencement of her employment  hereunder,  receive a
grant of  150,000  restricted  shares of  Common  Stock  (with the other  grants
hereunder, the "Restricted Shares"). With respect to each fiscal year during the
Employment  Term after 2004, the Company shall grant no later than each March of
the  following  year  (commencing  with  March,  2006) to  Executive a number of
Restricted  Shares  with an  aggregate  value on the date of each grant equal to
between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000,  as determined by the Compensation  Committee
of the Board (the "Compensation Committee").  Subject to Section 8(b)(ii)(D) and
Section  8(c)(iii)(E),  below, each annual grant of Restricted Shares shall vest
and  become  non-forfeitable  as to 20%  (25%,  commencing  with  the  grant  in
February, 2007) of the shares initially granted, on each anniversary of the date
of grant  and  shall be fully  vested  and 100%  non-forfeitable  upon the fifth
anniversary (fourth anniversary, commencing with the grant in February, 2007) of
the date of grant;  provided,  however,  that  Executive  shall be  entitled  to
participate  in any program  the Company  maintains  to allow  employees  to use
vested shares for the payment of applicable taxes at the time of such vesting.

     6. Employee Benefits; Business Expenses.

     a.  Employee  Benefits.  During the  Employment  Term,  Executive  (and her
eligible  dependents) shall be entitled to participate in the Company's pension,
profit sharing, medical, dental, life insurance and other employee benefit plans
(other than severance  plans) (the "Company  Plans"),  as in effect from time to
time (collectively the "Employee  Benefits") on the same basis as those benefits
are generally  made  available to other senior  executives of the Company,  at a
level of participation commensurate with her position.

     b. Business Expenses and Perquisites.

          (i) Expenses. During the Employment Term, reasonable business expenses
     incurred by Executive in the  performance of Executive's  duties  hereunder
     shall be  reimbursed  by the  Company  in  accordance  with  the  Company's
     policies.

          (ii)  Perquisites.  During the  Employment  Term,  Executive  shall be
     entitled to receive such  perquisites  as are generally  made  available to
     other senior executives of the Company at a level that is commensurate with
     her position.

     7.  Relocation  Period.  During  the  period  commencing  on  the  Original
Effective  Date and  ending no later  than the first  anniversary  thereof  (the
"Relocation   Period"),   Executive  is  expected  to  arrange  relocation  from
California  to  Connecticut  on a  permanent  basis for her,  her spouse and her
dependents.  The Company shall,  during the Relocation  Period, pay or reimburse
Executive for all  reasonable  expenses  incurred for temporary  housing,  local
ground transportation, travel to and from California for her, her spouse and her
dependents,  closing costs and moving  expenses in connection  with the purchase
and sale of permanent housing and other costs and expenses during the Relocation
Period  related to her  maintaining  a  residence  separate  from her family and
relocating to  Connecticut;  provided,  however,  that no later than November 1,
2005,  Executive shall have relocated to Connecticut and no further payments for
expenses  under this Section 7 that are incurred after the end of the Relocation
Period  shall  be borne by the  Company.  The  Company  shall  pay or  reimburse
Executive  under this Section 7 for all costs and expenses  incurred  during the
Relocation Period in an aggregate amount up to $500,000.

     8.  Termination.  Executive's  employment  hereunder  may be  terminated by
either party at any time and for any reason;  provided  that  Executive  will be
required  to give the  Company at least 60 days  advance  written  notice of any
resignation of Executive's  employment (30 days if such resignation is for "Good
Reason" (as hereinafter  defined)).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement other than Section 13(l) through (p), the provisions of this Section 8
shall exclusively  govern Executive's rights upon termination of employment with
the Company.

     a. By the  Company  for  Cause or by  Executive  Resignation  Without  Good
Reason.


                                       3
<PAGE>

          (i) The Employment  Term and Executive's  employment  hereunder may be
     terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below) and shall  terminate
     automatically upon Executive's  resignation  without Good Reason;  provided
     that  Executive  will be  required  to give  the  Company  at least 60 days
     advance written notice of such resignation. For purposes of this Agreement,
     a failure by  Executive  to have  effected  a  relocation  to  Connecticut,
     reasonably acceptable to the Board before November 1, 2005, shall be deemed
     to be a  resignation  without  Good Reason by  Executive  for all  purposes
     hereunder,  effective  as of November 1, 2005;  provided,  however,  if the
     Board does not accept that such  relocation has occurred before November 1,
     2005,  Executive shall be given written notice of that fact by the Board as
     soon as reasonably  practicable upon such  determination and the resolution
     of such issue  shall be dealt with  using the same  procedures  as would be
     used in the last two sentences of Section 8(a)(ii).

          (ii) For purposes of this  Agreement,  "Cause" shall mean  Executive's
     (A) willful and  continued  failure  (other than as a result of physical or
     mental  illness or injury) to perform her material  duties  (provided  such
     duties are as  described  in Section 2) to the Company or its  subsidiaries
     which  continues  beyond 10 days  after a written  demand  for  substantial
     performance  is delivered to Executive by the Company (the "Cure  Period"),
     which demand  shall  identify  and  describe  such failure with  sufficient
     specificity  to allow  Executive  to respond;  (B)  willful or  intentional
     conduct  that  causes  material  and  demonstrable  injury,  monetarily  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;  or
     (D) material breach of a material  provision of this Agreement,  including,
     without  limitation,  engaging  in any  action in  breach  of  Section 9 or
     Section 10 of this Agreement,  which  continues  beyond the Cure Period (to
     the extent that,  in the Board's  reasonable  judgment,  such breach can be
     cured).  For purposes of this Section 8(a)(ii),  no act, or failure to act,
     on the part of Executive  shall be  considered  "willful" or  "intentional"
     unless it is done,  or omitted to be done,  by  Executive  in bad faith and
     without  reasonable  belief that Executive's  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  Executive in good faith and in the
     best interests of the Company. Any determination that Executive has engaged
     in conduct for which the Board wishes to terminate  Executive's  employment
     shall be made after a meeting of the nonemployee  directors of the Board at
     which Executive shall be invited to appear, with counsel, to respond to the
     allegations  set  forth in the  written  notice  to the  Executive  of such
     meeting  (which  notice  shall  provide  sufficient  specificity  to  allow
     Executive  to respond to such  allegations).  The Board may  terminate  the
     Executive  for  "Cause"  hereunder  following  such  meeting  only upon the
     affirmative vote of at least 60 percent of the nonemployee directors.

          (iii) If  Executive's  employment  is  terminated  by the  Company for
     Cause,  or if Executive  resigns  without Good Reason,  Executive  shall be
     entitled to receive:

     (A) the Base Salary through the date of termination,  paid in substantially
equal periodic installments on the schedule specified in Section 3 (but not less
frequently than monthly);

     (B) any Annual  Bonus earned but unpaid as of the date of  termination  for
any previously  completed  fiscal year,  paid no later than permitted  under the
Incentive Plan and no later than the date that other senior  executive  officers
of the Company are paid their annual bonuses for any such year;


                                       4
<PAGE>

     (C) reimbursement for any unreimbursed  business expenses properly incurred
by Executive in accordance  with Company policy prior to the date of Executive's
termination, paid at the time specified in Section 13(m);

     (D) any accrued but unpaid  vacation,  paid in accordance with the terms of
the Company's vacation policy; and

     (E) such  Employee  Benefits,  if any, to which  Executive  may be entitled
under the applicable Company Plans or hereunder (including,  without limitation,
if applicable,  any Restricted Shares) upon termination of employment  hereunder
(the  payments  and  benefits  described in clauses (A) through (E) hereof being
referred to, collectively, as the "Accrued Rights").

As  necessary   for   compliance   with  the   requirements   of  the  Code  and
notwithstanding  any contrary provision of this subsection,  payments under this
subsection are subject to Section 13(l) through (p).  Following such termination
of Executive's  employment by the Company for Cause or resignation by Executive,
except as set forth in this Section 8(a)(iii) and Section 8(g),  Executive shall
have no further  rights to any  compensation  or any other  benefits  under this
Agreement.

     b. Disability or Death.

          (i) Executive's  employment hereunder shall terminate upon Executive's
     death and may be terminated by the Company if Executive becomes  physically
     or  mentally  incapacitated  and is  therefore  unable  for a period of six
     consecutive months or for an aggregate of nine months in any 12 consecutive
     month period to perform  Executive's duties (such incapacity is hereinafter
     referred  to as  "Disability").  Any  question as to the  existence  of the
     Disability of Executive as to which  Executive and the Company cannot agree
     shall  be  determined  in  writing  by a  qualified  independent  physician
     mutually  acceptable  to Executive  and the Company.  If Executive  and the
     Company cannot agree as to a qualified  independent  physician,  each shall
     appoint such a physician and those two physicians  shall select a third who
     shall make such  determination in writing.  The determination of Disability
     made in writing to the Company and Executive  shall be final and conclusive
     for all purposes of the Agreement.

          (ii) Upon termination of Executive's  employment  hereunder for either
     Disability or death,  Executive or Executive's  estate (as the case may be)
     shall be entitled to receive:

     (A) the Accrued Rights;

     (B)  continued  payment  of  Executive's  Base  Salary  during  the  period
commencing on the date of  Executive's  termination  of employment and ending on
the date  that is six  months  after  the  date of  Executive's  termination  of
employment  (applying  the  definition of such term in Section  13(n)),  paid in
substantially  equal periodic  installments on the schedule specified in Section
3, but not less  frequently  than monthly (such continued Base Salary shall only
be subject to the six-month delay to the extent  applicable  under Section 13(o)
and (p));

                                       5
<PAGE>


     (C) a pro rata portion of the Annual Bonus, equal to the product of (I) the
Annual Bonus that Executive  would have received  pursuant to the Incentive Plan
for the calendar year of Executive's termination of employment if her employment
had  continued  indefinitely,  and (II) a fraction  whose  numerator  equals the
number of days the Executive was employed during such year and whose denominator
is 365,  payable as a cash lump sum no later than permitted  under the Incentive
Plan and no later  than the date that other  senior  executive  officers  of the
Company are paid their annual bonuses for such year; and

     (D)  all  Restricted  Shares  that  have  been  granted  as of the  date of
Executive's  termination  shall be fully vested and  non-forfeitable  as of such
date,  and all options  granted to Executive that are not vested as of such date
shall become vested and fully  exercisable,  and Executive shall not be entitled
to any  further  annual  grants of  Restricted  Shares  under  Section 5 of this
Agreement.

          (iii) Upon  termination  of  Executive's  employment  hereunder due to
     Executive's death or Disability,  in addition to the benefits  described in
     Section 8(b)(ii) above,  the Company shall provide  Executive (in the event
     of her  Disability)  and  Executive's  spouse with  medical,  dental,  life
     insurance  and other health  benefits  (pursuant to the same Company  Plans
     that are medical, dental, life insurance and other health benefit plans and
     that are in effect for active  employees of the Company),  until the second
     anniversary of the date of Executive's death or Disability.

     (A) To the extent that such  medical,  dental or other health  benefit plan
coverage is provided under a self-insured plan maintained by the Company (within
the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Code):

          (I) the charge to Executive  for each month of coverage will equal the
     monthly COBRA charge  established by the Company for such coverage in which
     the Executive or the  Executive's  spouse (as  applicable) is enrolled from
     time  to  time,  based  on the  coverage  generally  provided  to  salaried
     employees (less the amount of any administrative  charge typically assessed
     by the Company as part of its COBRA charge), and Executive will be required
     to pay such monthly charge in accordance with the Company's  standard COBRA
     premium payment requirements; and

          (II) on the date of Executive's  termination of employment  within the
     meaning of Section 13(n), the Company will pay Executive a lump sum in cash
     equal,  in the  aggregate,  to the monthly COBRA charge  established by the
     Company on the payment date for family coverage with respect to the highest
     value  health   coverage   provided  to  salaried   employees   under  such
     self-insured  plan for each month of coverage in the two year  period.  For
     this purpose,  the Company's  monthly COBRA charge for family coverage will
     be  increased by 10% on each January in the  projected  payment  period and
     such increased  amount shall apply to each successive month in the calendar
     year in which the increase became applicable.

     (B) To the extent that such  medical,  dental or other health  benefit plan
coverage is provided under a fully-insured  medical  reimbursement  plan (within
the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Code), there will be no charge to Executive
for such coverage.

As  necessary   for   compliance   with  the   requirements   of  the  Code  and
notwithstanding  any contrary provision of this subsection,  payments under this
subsection  are subject to Section  13(l)  through  (p).  Following  Executive's
termination  of employment  due to death or  Disability,  except as set forth in
this Section 8(b) and Section 8(g),  Executive  shall have no further  rights to
any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

     c. By the  Company  Without  Cause or by  Executive  Resignation  with Good
Reason.

          (i)  Executive's  employment  hereunder may be  terminated  (A) by the
     Company without Cause (which shall not include  Executive's  termination of
     employment  due to her death or  Disability)  or (B) by Executive with Good
     Reason (as defined below).

          (ii) For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean:

     (A)  the  material  failure  of the  Company  to pay or  cause  to be  paid
Executive's Base Salary or Annual Bonus, or grant the Restricted Shares when due
hereunder,

     (B) any  substantial  and continuing  diminution in  Executive's  position,
authority or responsibilities from those described in Section 2 hereof,

     (C) a material  relocation of Executive's  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

     (D) any other material breach of a material provision of this Agreement;

provided that any of the events described in subparagraphs  (A), (B), (C) or (D)
of this Section  8(c)(ii) shall  constitute  Good Reason only if (I) the Company
fails to cure such event within 30 days after receipt from  Executive of written
notice of the existence of the event or circumstances  constituting  Good Reason
specified in any of the preceding clauses,  which notice must be provided to the
Board  within 90 days after  Executive  learns of the initial  existence of such
event or  circumstances  with  sufficient  specificity  from  Executive  for the
Company to respond to such claim, and (II) Executive terminates  employment with
the  Company  within  two years  after the  initial  existence  of such event or
circumstances.

          (iii) If Executive's  employment is terminated by the Company  without
     Cause (other than by reason of death or  Disability)  or by Executive  with
     Good  Reason,   subject  to   Executive's   satisfaction   of  the  release
     requirements set forth in Section 8(f)(ii),  the Company (1) shall then pay
     or provide to the  Executive  the  compensation  and benefits  described in
     subparagraphs  (A) and (D) below,  (2) shall begin paying to the  Executive
     the  compensation  described  in  subparagraphs  (B) and  (C),  and (3) the
     vesting provided for by subparagraph (E) below shall apply, in each case on

     of Executive's termination of employment (the "Termination Date"), and

          (II) two  times  Executive's  annual  Target  Bonus in  effect  on the
     Termination Date,

shall be paid each month for the 36-month  period  commencing on the Termination
Date (it being  understood  that  Executive  shall  receive no payment until the
Expiration Date at which time Executive shall receive a catch-up  payment on the
Expiration Date that includes all monthly  installments  due for the period from
the  Termination  Date through the Expiration  Date) (with such 36-month  period
constituting  the  "Severance  Period")  (such  catch-up  payment and  continued
installments shall be subject to a six-month delay only to the extent applicable
under Section 13(o) and (p)); provided, however, that payments described in this
subparagraph  (B) that are exempt from  Section  409A shall be reduced or offset
entirely, at the time such payments are otherwise required to be made under this
subparagraph  (B), by any amounts due and owing by  Executive to the Company for
funds  borrowed from or advanced by the Company (to the extent  permitted  under
applicable law);

     (C)  continuation  of medical,  dental,  life  insurance  and other  health
benefits  (pursuant to the same Company  Plans that are  medical,  dental,  life

employees  of the  Company)  with health  benefit  coverage  retroactive  to the
Termination  Date (once the  Expiration  Date is reached  and the  release is in
effect),  and  then  continuing  until  the  earlier  to occur of the end of the
Severance  Period and the date on which  Executive  becomes  eligible to receive
comparable benefits from any subsequent employer.

          (I) To the extent that such  medical,  dental or other health  benefit

     Company (within the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Code):

               (1) the charge to Executive for each month of coverage will equal
          the monthly COBRA charge  established by the Company for such coverage
          in which the Executive or the  Executive's  spouse (as  applicable) is
          enrolled from time to time, based on the coverage  generally  provided
          to salaried  employees (less the amount of any  administrative  charge
          typically  assessed by the Company as part of its COBRA  charge),  and
          Executive  will be required to pay such monthly  charge in  accordance
          with the Company's standard COBRA premium payment requirements; and
