consent or lease, permit, franchise, easement or other agreement.
The plants and properties (owned or leased) operated by Frontier and its subsidiaries are maintained in good condition and are
believed to be suitable and adequate for our present needs.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
See Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV of this report.
We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business covering a wide range of matters or
types of claims including, but not limited to, general contract, rights of access, tax, consumer protection, trademark and patent
infringement, employment, regulatory and tort. Litigation is subject to uncertainty and the outcome of individual matters is not
predictable. However, we believe that the ultimate resolution of all such matters, after considering insurance coverage or other
indemnities to which we are entitled, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or
our cash flows.
