underlying the Warrants being exercised, divided by (b) the current market price per share of
Common Stock (as of the date of receipt of the request by the Company). The Exercise Price and
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment
upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Warrant Agreement. No Warrant may be

made to the further provisions of this Warrant Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which
further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this

[Reverse of Warrant Certificate]

RCN CORPORATION (WARRANT)

     By accepting a Warrant Certificate, each holder shall be bound by all of the terms and
provisions of the Warrant Agreement (a copy of which is available on request to the Secretary of
the Company) and any amendments thereto as fully and effectively as if such holder had signed the
same.

     The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of
Warrants by the Company expiring at 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on June 21, 2012, entitling the
holder upon proper exercise to receive shares of Common Stock and are issued or to be issued
pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in
and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights,
limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the
Company and the holders (the words “holders” or “holder” meaning the registered holders or
registered holder) of the Warrants.

     The holder of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may exercise them by
surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of election to purchase set forth below on
this Warrant Certificate properly completed and executed, together with payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price in accordance with the provisions set forth on the face of this Warrant Certificate.
In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised
shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be issued to the
holder hereof or its assignee a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not
exercised.

     The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events the Exercise Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this
Warrant Certificate, in each case, set forth on the face hereof may, subject to certain conditions,
be adjusted. If the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Warrant Agreement provides that the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant may be adjusted. No fractions of
a share of Common Stock will be issued upon the exercise of any Warrant, but the Company will pay
the cash value in lieu thereof determined as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

     Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the Warrant Agent Office by the registered holder
thereof in person or by legal representative or attorney duly authorized in writing, may be
exchanged, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but
without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of
like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants.

     Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate at the Warrant
Agent Office, a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the
aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this
Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge
except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

     The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holder(s) hereof as the
absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other
writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the
holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Warrants nor this Warrant Certificate
entitles any holder hereof to any rights of a stockholder of the Company.

     The Warrant Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the supplementing or
amendment thereof at any time by the Company and the Warrant Agent with the written consent of
registered holders of a majority of the then outstanding unexercised Warrants (excluding Warrants
held by the Company or any of its controlled affiliates). Any such consent by or on behalf of a
holder of a Warrant shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of
this Warrant Certificate

 

 

and any Warrant Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange thereof
whether or not notation of such consent is made upon such Warrant Certificate or any other Warrant
Certificate.
