               MANAGEMENT STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT - SERVICE OPTION

         MANAGEMENT STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT, dated as of March 27, 2001, between
RACI Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Holding"), and the Grantee
whose name appears on the signature page hereof (the "Grantee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:
                              - - - - - - - - - -

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Holding (the "Board") approved the
grant to the Grantee of nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of Class A
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Holding set forth on
the signature page hereof (each, a "Share" and, collectively, the "Shares")
pursuant to the RACI Holding, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), at an
exercise price of $180.00 per Share by unanimous written consent dated March 14,
2001 (the "Grant Date"); and

         WHEREAS, the Grantee and Holding desire to enter into an agreement to
evidence and confirm the grant of such options on the terms and conditions set
forth herein;

         NOW, THEREFORE, to evidence the stock options so granted, and to set
forth the terms and conditions thereof, Holding and the Grantee hereby agree as
follows:

         1. Confirmation of Grant; Option Price. Holding hereby evidences and
confirms its grant to the Grantee, effective as of the Grant Date, of options
(the "Options") to purchase the Shares at an option price of $180.00 per share
(the "Option Price"). The Options are not intended to be incentive stock options
under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This Agreement is
subordinate to, and the terms and conditions of the Options granted hereunder
are subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan.

         2. Exercisability. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
Options shall become vested and exercisable in three equal installments, on each
of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Grant Date, subject in the
case of each such installment to the continued employment of the Grantee until
the applicable vesting date; provided that the Board may accelerate the
exercisability of any Option, all Options or any class of Options, at any time
and from time to time. Shares eligible for purchase pursuant to vested and
exercisable Options may be purchased, subject to the provisions hereof, and
pursuant to and subject to the provisions contained in the Management Stock
Subscription Agreement (as defined in Section 5) related to such Shares, at any
time and from time to time on or after the date the related Options become
vested and exercisable until the date one day prior to the date on which such
Options terminate.

<PAGE>   2

         3. Termination of Option.

         (a) Normal Termination Date. Unless an earlier termination date is
specified in Section 3(b), the Options shall terminate on the tenth anniversary
of the date hereof (the "Normal Termination Date").

         (b) Early Termination. If the Grantee's Active Employment (as defined
below) is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason other than a
Special Termination (as defined below) prior to the Normal Termination Date, any
Options that have not become vested and exercisable on or before the effective
date of such termination of employment shall terminate on such effective date.
If the Grantee's Active Employment is terminated by reason of the Grantee's
death, Permanent Disability or Retirement (each a "Special Termination"), then
all Options held by the Grantee shall become immediately vested and exercisable
and shall remain exercisable until the first to occur of (A) the 180th day
following the effective date of such Special Termination or (B) the Normal
Termination Date. If the Grantee's Active Employment is terminated for any
reason other than (i) a Special Termination or (ii) for Cause, any vested and
exercisable Options then held by the Grantee shall remain exercisable until the
first to occur of (x) the 60th day following the effective date of such
termination of employment or (y) the Normal Termination Date. Notwithstanding
anything else contained in this Agreement, if the Grantee's Active Employment is
terminated for Cause, then all Options (whether or not then vested or
exercisable) shall terminate and be canceled immediately upon such termination,
regardless of whether then vested or exercisable. Nothing in this Agreement
shall be deemed to confer on the Grantee any right to continue in the employment
of the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, or to interfere
with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any of such subsidiaries to
terminate the Grantee's employment at any time.

         4. Restrictions on Exercise; Non-Transferability of Option.

         (a) Restrictions on Exercise. The Options may be exercised only with
respect to full shares of Common Stock. No fractional shares of Common Stock
shall be issued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Options may not be exercised in whole or in part, and no certificates
representing Shares shall be delivered, (i) unless all requisite approvals and
consents of any governmental authority of any kind having jurisdiction over the
exercise of the Options shall have been secured, (ii) unless the purchase of the
Shares upon the exercise of the Options shall be exempt from registration under
applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws, or the Shares shall have been
registered under such laws, (iii) unless all applicable U.S. federal, state and
local and non-U.S. tax withholding requirements shall have been satisfied or
(iv) if such exercise would cause a change in control of Holding and thereby
result in a violation of the terms or provisions of or a default or an event of
default under any of the Financing

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

Agreements (as such term is defined below). Holding shall use reasonable best
efforts to obtain the consents and approvals referred to in the clause of the
preceding sentence.

         (b) Non-Transferability of Options. The Options may be exercised only
by the Grantee or by the Grantee's estate. The Options are not assignable or
transferable, in whole or in part, and they may not, directly or indirectly, be
offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated or
otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including without limitation by gift,
operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution to the estate of the Grantee upon the Grantee's death, provided
that the deceased Grantee's beneficiary or the representative of the Grantee's
estate shall acknowledge and agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable
to Holding, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan as if
such beneficiary or the estate were the Grantee.

<PAGE>   5

         (f) Withholding. Whenever Shares are to be issued pursuant to the
Options, Holding may require the recipient of the Shares to remit to Holding an

Holding shall have the right to withhold (or, if applicable, to direct the C&D
Fund to remit to Holding) an amount from such payment sufficient to satisfy any
applicable U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax withholding
requirements.

         5. Manner of Exercise. To the extent that any of the Options shall have
become and remain exercisable as provided in Section 2 and subject to such
reasonable administrative regulations as the Board may have adopted, the Options
may be exercised, in whole or in part, by notice to the Secretary of Holding in
writing given 15 business days prior to the date on which the Grantee will so
exercise the Options (the "Exercise Date"), specifying the number of Shares with
respect to which the Options are being exercised (the "Exercise Shares") and the
Exercise Date, provided that if shares of Common Stock are traded on a U.S.
national securities exchange or bid and ask prices for shares of Common Stock
are quoted over NASDAQ, notice may be given five business days before the
Exercise Date. On or before any Exercise Date occurring prior to a Public
Offering, Holding and the Grantee shall enter into a Management Stock
Subscription Agreement substantially in the form attached to the Plan as Exhibit
A-1 ("Management Stock Subscription Agreement"), or in such other form as may be
agreed upon by Holding and the Grantee, such Management Stock Subscription
Agreement to contain provisions granting the issuer and its majority shareholder
the right to purchase the Exercised Shares following termination of employment,
take-along rights and other legal and contractual restrictions. In addition, (a)
on or before the Exercise Date, the Grantee shall deliver to Holding full
payment for the Exercise Shares in United States dollars in cash, or cash
equivalent satisfactory to Holding, and in an amount equal to the product of the
number of Exercise Shares and $200.00 (the "Exercise Price") and (b) on the
Exercise Date, subject to any bailment arrangement agreed to by Holding and the
Grantee, Holding shall deliver to the Grantee a certificate or certificates
representing the Exercise Shares, registered in the name of the Grantee. If
shares of Common Stock are traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or bid
and ask prices for shares of Common Stock are quoted over NASDAQ, the Grantee
may, in lieu of cash, tender shares of Common Stock that have been owned by the
Grantee for a minimum period of six months, having a market price on the
Exercise Date equal to the Exercise Price or may deliver a combination of cash
and such shares of Common Stock having a market price equal to the difference
between the Exercise Price and the amount of such cash as payment of the
Exercise Price, subject to such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the
Board to provide for the compliance of such payment procedure with applicable
law, including Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Holding may require the
Grantee to furnish or execute such other documents as Holding shall reasonably
deem necessary (i) to evidence such exercise, (ii) to determine whether
registration is then required under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), and (iii) to comply with

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

or satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act, applicable state or non-U.S.
securities laws or any other law.

         6. Grantee's Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

         (a) Investment Intention. The Grantee represents and warrants that the
Options have been, and covenants that any Exercise Shares will be, acquired by
the Grantee solely for the Grantee's own account for investment and not with a
view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof. The Grantee
agrees that the Grantee will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell,
pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any of the Options or any of
the Exercise Shares (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire
or take a pledge of all or any of the Options or any of the Exercise Shares),
except in compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") thereunder, and in
compliance with applicable state and foreign securities or "blue sky" laws. The
Grantee further understands, acknowledges and agrees that none of the Exercise
Shares may be transferred, sold, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of
unless the provisions of any related Management Stock Subscription Agreement
shall have been complied with or have expired.

         (b) Legend. The Grantee acknowledges that any certificate representing
the Exercise Shares shall bear an appropriate legend, which will include,
without limitation, the following language in the case of any such certificates
issued prior to a Public Offering:

                  "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE
                  PROVISIONS OF A MANAGEMENT STOCK SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT, DATED
                  AS OF MARCH [ ], 2001, AND NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE
                  SHARES REPRESENTED BY IT ARE ASSIGNABLE OR OTHERWISE
                  TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH
                  MANAGEMENT STOCK SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT, AS THE SAME MAY BE
                  AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE
                  SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS
                  CERTIFICATE ARE BOUND BY THE OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN AND MAY
                  BE ENTITLED TO SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF A REGISTRATION AND
                  PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 1993, AMONG

                  "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
                  REGISTERED PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
                  UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED
                  UNDER ANY STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE
                  TRANSFERRED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED
                  OF UNLESS (i) (A) SUCH DISPOSITION IS PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
                  REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
                  AMENDED, (B) THE HOLDER HEREOF SHALL HAVE DELIVERED TO THE
                  ISSUER AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH OPINION AND COUNSEL SHALL
                  BE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, TO THE EFFECT THAT
                  SUCH DISPOSITION IS EXEMPT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF
                  SUCH ACT OR (C) A NO-ACTION LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND
                  EXCHANGE COMMISSION, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR
                  HOLDING, SHALL HAVE BEEN OBTAINED WITH RESPECT TO SUCH
                  DISPOSITION AND (ii) SUCH DISPOSITION IS PURSUANT TO
                  REGISTRATION UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES
                  LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

         (c) Securities Law Matters. The Grantee acknowledges receipt of advice
from Holding that (i) the Exercise Shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act based on an exemption provided under Rule 701 promulgated under
the Securities Act or qualified under any state or foreign securities or "blue
sky" laws, (ii) it is not anticipated that there will be any public market for
the Exercise Shares, (iii) the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely and the
Grantee must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment in the
Exercise Shares unless the Exercise Shares are subsequently registered under the
Securities Act and such state laws or an exemption from registration is
available, (iv) Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") is
not presently available with respect to the sales of the Exercise Shares and
Holding has made no covenant to make Rule 144 available, (v) when and if the
Exercise Shares may be disposed of without registration in reliance upon Rule
144, such disposition can be made only in accordance with the terms and
conditions of such Rule, (vi) Holding does not plan to file reports with the
Commission or make public information concerning Holding available unless
required to do so by law or by the terms of its Financing Agreements (as
hereinafter defined), (vii) if the exemption afforded by Rule 144 is not
available, sales of the Exercise Shares may be difficult to effect because of
the absence of public information concerning Holding, (viii) a restrictive
legend in the form heretofore set forth shall be placed on the certificates
representing the Exercise Shares and (ix) a notation shall be made in the
appropriate records of Holding indicating that the Exercise Shares are subject
to restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement and, if Holding should
in

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

the future engage the services of a stock transfer agent, appropriate
stop-transfer restrictions will be issued to such transfer agent with respect to
the Exercise Shares.

         (d) Compliance with Rule 144. If any of the Exercise Shares are to be
disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Grantee
shall transmit to Holding an executed copy of Form 144 (if required by Rule 144)
no later than the time such form is required to be transmitted to the Commission
for filing and such other documentation as Holding may reasonably require to
assure compliance with Rule 144 in connection with such disposition.

         (e) Ability to Bear Risk. The Grantee covenants that the Grantee will
not exercise all or any of the Options unless (i) the financial situation of the
Grantee is such that the Grantee can afford to bear the economic risk of Holding
the Exercise Shares for an indefinite period and (ii) the Grantee can afford to
suffer the complete loss of the Grantee's investment in the Exercise Shares.

         (f) Access to Information. The Grantee represents and warrants that the
Grantee has received the Confidential Offering Memorandum dated March 14, 2000,
and the Company's draft Annual Report on Form 10-K and has carefully reviewed
the Offering Memorandum together with the Annexes thereto, and such draft Form
10-K and the other materials furnished to the Grantee in connection with the
transaction contemplated hereby.

         (g) Registration; Restrictions on Sale upon Public Offering. In respect
of any Shares purchased upon exercise of all or any of the Options, the Grantee
shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations created under the
Registration and Participation Agreement, dated as of November 30, 1993 as the
same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the
"Registration and Participation Agreement"), among Holding and certain
stockholders of Holding, to the extent set forth therein. The Grantee agrees
that, in the event that Holding files a registration statement under the
Securities Act with respect to a Public Offering of any shares of its capital
stock, the Grantee will not effect any public sale or distribution of any shares
of the Common Stock (other than as part of such Public Offering) during the 20
days prior to and the 180 days after the effective date of such registration
statement.

         (h) Section 83(b) Election. The Grantee agrees that, within 20 days of
any Exercise Date that occurs prior to a Public Offering, the Grantee shall give
notice to Holding as to whether or not the Grantee has made an election pursuant
to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with respect
to the Exercise Shares purchased on such date, and acknowledges that the Grantee
will be solely responsible for any and all tax liabilities payable by the
Grantee in connection with the Grantee's exercise of any Options or receipt of
the Exercise Shares or attributable to the Grantee's making or failing to make
such an election.

         7. Representations and Warranties of Holding. Holding represents and
warrants to the Grantee that (a) Holding has been duly incorporated and is an
existing

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (b) this
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Holding and
constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Holding enforceable
against Holding in accordance with its terms and (c) the Exercise Shares, when
issued, delivered and paid for, upon exercise of the Options in accordance with
the terms hereof and the Management Stock Subscription Agreement, will be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free and clear of
any liens or encumbrances other than those created pursuant to this Agreement,
the Management Stock Subscription Agreement or otherwise in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby.

         8. Change in Control

         (a) Accelerated Vesting and Payment. Unless the Board shall otherwise
determine in the manner set forth in Section 8(b), in the event of a Change in
Control, the Options shall be canceled in exchange for a payment in cash of an
amount equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Change in Control
Price over the Option Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares then subject
to the Options.

         (b) Alternative Options. Notwithstanding Section 8(a), no cancellation,
acceleration of exercisability, vesting or cash settlement or other payment
shall occur with respect to the Options if the Board reasonably determines in
good faith, prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, that the Options
shall be honored or assumed, or new rights substituted therefor (such honored,
assumed or substituted Options being hereinafter referred to as an "Alternative
Options") by the New Employer, provided that any such Alternative Options must:

                  (i) provide the Grantee with rights and entitlements
         substantially equivalent to or better than the rights, terms and
         conditions applicable under the Options, including, but not limited to,
         an identical or better exercise and vesting schedule, identical or
         better timing and methods of payment and, if the Alternative Options or
         the securities underlying them are not publicly traded, identical or
         better rights to require Holding or the New Employer to repurchase the
         Alternative Options;

                  (ii) have substantially equivalent economic value to the
         Options (determined at the time of the Change in Control); and

                  (iii) have terms and conditions which provide that in the
         event that the Grantee suffers an Involuntary Termination within two
         years following a Change in Control:

                           (A) any conditions on the Grantee's rights under, or
                  any restrictions on transfer or exercisability applicable to,
                  each such Alternative Options shall be waived or shall lapse,
                  as the case may be; or

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

                           (B) the Grantee shall have the right to surrender
                  such Alternative Options within 30 days following such
                  termination in exchange for a payment in cash equal to the
                  excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to
                  the Alternative Options over the price, if any, that the
                  Grantee would be required to pay to exercise such Alternative
                  Options.
