                            SECURITYHOLDERS AGREEMENT

               SECURITYHOLDERS AGREEMENT dated as of May 1, 2002 (this
"Agreement") by and among R.A.B. HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), Richard A. Bernstein (the "Principal Stockholder") and each of the
persons and entities executing a signature page hereto (each a "Securityholder"
and collectively, the "Securityholders").

               Each of the Securityholders owns certain notes issued by the
Company under that certain Indenture dated as of May 1, 1998 (the "1998
Indenture"), by and between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank (as
successor-in-interest to PNC Bank, National Association), as trustee (the
"Trustee"). Each of the Securityholders is concurrently herewith executing and
delivering a consent to amendment and letter of transmittal (collectively, the
"Consents") with respect to the amendment to certain terms and provisions of the
1998 Indenture to be evidenced in an Amended and Restated Indenture dated as of
May 1, 2002 (the "Amended and Restated Indenture") by and between the Company
and the Trustee. The Principal Stockholder owns a greater number of shares of
the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), than
any other single stockholder of the Company.

               In connection with the Consents, the Company has agreed to issue
to the Securityholders Warrants (as such term is hereinafter defined) to
purchase shares of the Common Stock. In addition, the Company, the Principal
Stockholder and the Securityholders desire to promote their mutual interests by
providing certain rights and restrictions with respect to the Warrants and the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the "Warrant
Shares" and, together with the Warrants, the "Securities"), all upon the terms,
provisions and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Certain capitalized terms
used herein are defined in Section 11 of this Agreement.

               NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and legal adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties, the parties
hereby agree as follows:

                  1. Issuance of Warrants; Registration Rights Agreement.

                  (a) Based upon the representations and warranties of each of
the Securityholders set forth in Section 9 hereof, the Company hereby issues to
each Securityholder a Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached
hereto (each, a "Warrant") to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock set
forth opposite such Securityholder's name on Exhibit B.

                  (b) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Company and the Securityholders are executing and delivering a
Registration Rights Agreement in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the "Registration
Rights Agreement"), with respect to the registration of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

                  2. Certain Rights to Cause Sale of Securities.

                  (a) If at any time the holders of a majority-in-interest of
the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Controlling
Stockholders") determine to Transfer (as such term is hereinafter defined) all
or no less than a majority of their shares of Common Stock, in an arms-length
transaction to any Person that is not an Affiliate, whether such Transfer
involves a sale, merger, consolidation, tender offer, reorganization,
recapitalization or other transaction resulting in any Transfer of shares of
Common Stock (each, a "Sale Transaction"), such Controlling Stockholders shall
have the right (exercisable by the giving of notice to the Company of the
exercise of such right), but not the obligation, to require each Securityholder
hereunder to also Transfer in the Sale Transaction the same percentage of such
Securityholder's Securities as the percentage of shares of Common Stock owned by
the Controlling Stockholders that are to be Transferred in the Sale Transaction,
free and clear of all claims, liens, voting rights, voting agreements, voting
trusts, security interests, pledges, equitable interests, options or any other
encumbrances or other third party rights of any nature whatsoever (collectively,
the "Liens"), provided however, that each Securityholder shall receive the same
consideration on a common-share equivalent basis in such Sale Transaction as the
Controlling Stockholders receive for each share of Common Stock in the Sale
Transaction. Upon exercise of the right granted by this Section 2(a), the
Securityholders shall be irrevocably bound to Transfer their Securities in the
Sale Transaction in accordance with this Section 2(a).

                  (b) If the Controlling Stockholders exercise their right
pursuant to Section 2(a) by giving the Company written notice of such exercise,
the Company shall deliver to each Securityholder written notice of such exercise
at least 20 days prior to the proposed date of the Sale Transaction. The notice
to the Securityholders shall set forth a reasonably detailed description of the
Sale Transaction, the consideration to be received, the documents to be
exercised by the Securityholders and the anticipated closing date of the Sale
Transaction.

                  (c) As to any of the Securityholders that are selling Warrants
and not Warrant Shares in connection with any Sale Transaction, the Company
shall have the right to make an appropriate reduction to the consideration to be
received by such Securityholder in an amount equal to the aggregate exercise
price of such Warrants.

                  (d) In the event of a proposed Transfer of Common Stock of the
Company as described in Section 2(a), each Securityholder shall in all events be
required to deliver legal and beneficial ownership of the Securityholders'
Securities to the buyer at the closing of the Sale Transaction contemplated in
this Section 2 regardless of whether there is any dispute between the Company
and the Securityholder (including any dispute relating to the amount of
consideration to be received by the Securityholder in the Sale Transaction,
which dispute shall be resolved after the closing of the Sale Transaction).

<PAGE>

                  (e) In connection with any Sale Transaction, each
Securityholder shall timely execute and deliver all documents, instruments and
certificates (including, without limitation, certificates representing the
Warrants or the Warrant Shares and duly executed stock powers, if applicable) as
the Company may request.

                  (f) The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each of
the other parties hereto and to take such actions as shall be reasonably
requested by any other party hereto in order to effectuate the Sale Transaction.
Each of the Controlling Stockholders, whether or not a party to this Agreement,
shall be an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 2 and shall be
entitled to enforce the terms of this Section 2 directly against each of the
Securityholders party hereto.

                  3. Tag-Along Rights.

                  (a) Until the Put/Call Effective Date (as defined in Section
11), prior to any proposed sale by the Company or (except as set forth in
Section 3(b)) by the Principal Stockholder or any Permitted Principal
Stockholder Transferee (as defined in this Section 3(a)) (a "Prospective
Seller") of shares of Common Stock or securities representing the right to
acquire Common Stock, other than Excluded Transfers (as defined in Section 11),
the Prospective Seller shall cause each Securityholder to be given notice of the
proposed transaction (the "Notice of Proposed Issuance"). The Notice of Proposed
Issuance shall constitute a right on behalf of each Securityholder to sell to
the proposed purchaser (and the Prospective Seller shall cause the proposed
purchaser to honor and fulfill that right), at the same time as the Prospective
Seller and (except as set forth below) upon the same terms and conditions as the
Prospective Seller is selling shares of Common Stock to the purchaser, the
Warrant (or portion thereof) or a number of Warrant Shares, or any combination
thereof, then owned by the Securityholder, representing in the aggregate a
number of shares of Common Stock (or the right under the Warrant to purchase
shares of Common Stock, as applicable) in the aggregate equal to the product of
(i) the number of shares proposed to be sold by the Prospective Seller and (ii)
a fraction, of which the numerator is the sum of the number of Warrant Shares
then beneficially owned by the Securityholder and the number of Warrant Shares
then purchasable by the Securityholder pursuant to the unexercised portion of
the Warrant owned by the Securityholder and the denominator is the sum of (A)
the number of all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and (B) the sum of the
number of Warrant Shares then beneficially owned by the Securityholder and the
number of Warrant Shares then purchasable by the Securityholder. The purchaser
shall be entitled to make an appropriate reduction for the aggregate exercise
price of any Warrant or portion thereof sold by a Securityholder pursuant to
this Section 3(a).

                  (b) The foregoing notwithstanding, the Principal Stockholder
shall not be required to give a Notice of Proposed Issuance with respect to, and
this Section 3 shall not apply to, the Transfer (in one or more transactions) of
shares of Common Stock by the Principal Stockholder representing in the
aggregate not more than 10% of the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the
Principal Stockholder on the date hereof (adjusted appropriately for stock
splits, stock dividends and other changes in the capital stock of the Company).
In addition, the Principal Stockholder may Transfer (inter vivos or
testamentary) all or part of his shares of Common Stock to the Company, to his
spouse, children, parents, brothers or sisters, nieces and nephews, the spouse
of any of his children, or a trust for the sole benefit of the Principal
Stockholder or any of such persons, to any Affiliate, or to a guardian for the
Principal Stockholder if he becomes disabled (a "Permitted Principal Stockholder
Transferee"); provided that in each of the foregoing cases such shares shall
remain subject to this Agreement and the transferee shall execute and deliver a
undertaking to be bound by the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as the
Principal Stockholder.

                  (c) Each Securityholder's option under Section 3(a) shall be
exercisable by written notice given by the Securityholder to the Prospective
Seller within fifteen (15) days after the date of delivery of the Notice of
Proposed Issuance. The notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares and the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrant proposed to be sold
to the purchaser by the Securityholder that the Securityholder desires to sell.
The Prospective Seller may consummate the proposed Transfer (including any
Transfers by electing Securityholders pursuant to this Section 3) at any time
within one hundred eighty (180) days after delivery of the Notice of Proposed
Issuance, at a price and on other material terms and conditions no less
favorable to the Prospective Seller than as set forth in the Notice of Proposed
Issuance. If the Transfer is not consummated within that one hundred eighty
(180) -day period, such proposed Transfer shall again be subject to the
restrictions and procedures set forth in this Section 3.

                  (d) In connection with the consummation of the proposed
Transfer pursuant to this Section 3, each Securityholder participating in such
Transfer shall execute and deliver all documents, instruments and certificates
(including, without limitation, certificates representing the Warrants or the
Warrant Shares and duly executed stock powers, if applicable) as the Prospective
Seller may reasonably request.

                  4. Put Right.

                  (a) Provided no default or event of default exists under, or
would occur or would be deemed to occur as a result of the redemption set forth
below in this Section 4 under any of the documents, instruments or agreements
evidencing bank or other institutional indebtedness of the Company, whether such
indebtedness is outstanding on the date hereof or incurred hereafter, at any
time after the Put/Call Effective Date, each Securityholder shall have the
option, exercisable by written notice to the Company (a "Put Notice"), to
require the Company to purchase all or any portion of the Securities then held
by such Securityholder.

                  (b) The Company shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of
a Put Notice, redeem the Securities with respect to which such request has been
made by paying to the Securityholder an amount of cash equal to the sum of (i)
an amount equal to the Fair Market Value at the close of business on the date of
the Put Notice multiplied by the number of outstanding Warrant Shares then owned
by the Securityholder and (ii) for each Warrant or portion thereof, an amount
equal to the excess of (A) the product of the number of Warrant Shares then
purchasable pursuant to the Warrant or portion thereof and the Fair Market Value
on the date of the Put Notice over (B) the product of the number of Warrant
Shares then purchasable pursuant to the Warrant or portion thereof and the
exercise price per share under the Warrant.

                  (c) In connection with the consummation of any purchase
pursuant to any Put Notice, each Securityholder shall timely execute and deliver
all documents, instruments and certificates (including, without limitation,
certificates representing the Warrants or the Warrant Shares and duly executed
stock powers, if applicable) as the Company may reasonably request.

                  5. Call Right.

                  (a) At any time after the Put/Call Effective Date, the Company
shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to a Securityholder (the
"Call Notice"), to require any Securityholder sell to the Company all or any
portion of the Securities then held by the Securityholder as specified by the
Company in the Call Notice. Any Call Notice furnished by the Company shall be
sent to all of the Securityholders. Any Call Notice that is for fewer than all
of the outstanding Warrant Shares and all of the outstanding Warrants shall
apply pro rata to the Securityholders on a common share equivalent basis.

                  (b) Upon receipt of a Call Notice, each Securityholder shall,
on the date specified in the Call Notice (which shall not be less than thirty
(30) days after the date of the Call Notice), sell to the Company the Securities
held by such Securityholder with respect to which such request has been made,
free and clear of all Liens, upon payment to the Securityholder by the Company
of an amount of cash equal to the sum of (i) an amount equal to the Fair Market
Value at the close of business on the date of the Call Notice multiplied by the
number of outstanding Warrant Shares then owned by the Securityholder, and (ii)
for each Warrant or portion thereof, an amount equal to the excess of (A) the
product of the number of Warrant Shares then purchasable pursuant to the Warrant
or portion thereof and the Fair Market Value on the date the request is
delivered to the Company over (B) the product of the number of Warrant Shares
then purchasable pursuant to the Warrant or portion thereof and the exercise
price per share under the Warrants.

                  (c) In connection with the consummation of the proposed
Transfer pursuant to this Section 5, each Securityholder participating in such
Transfer shall execute and deliver all documents, instruments and certificates
(including, without limitation, certificates representing the Warrants or the
Warrant Shares and duly executed stock powers, if applicable) as the Company may
reasonably request.
