(5) ELIGIBILITY. Management may make recommendations regarding grants hereunder. The Administrator, after consideration of any recommendation of Management, may grant Stock Options to any Participant; provided, however, that ISOs may only be granted to members of the class “all employees”.

A Participant shall have none of the rights of a shareholder until Documents Indicating Ownership are issued to him, and no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Documents Indicating Ownership are issued.

(E) NUMBER OF SHARES. Each ISO Agreement shall state the total number of Shares of Stock to which it pertains.

(E) NUMBER OF SHARES. Each NQSO Agreement shall state the total number of shares of Stock to which it pertains.

(F) GENERAL OPTION PERIOD AND LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS. An NQSO must be exercised within the period specified in the NQSO Agreement. No NQSO may be exercised for a fractional share of Stock. An NQSO exercised in part shall remain exercisable as to the remaining part in accordance with its terms.

(9) NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE STOCK OPTION. The granting of a Stock Option shall impose no obligation upon the Participant to exercise that Stock Option.

(10) NONASSIGNABILITY. Options shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during a Participant’s lifetime shall be exercisable only by such Participant (or his legal guardian or representative).

(11) EFFECT OF CHANGE IN STOCK SUBJECT TO THIS PLAN. The aggregate number of shares of Stock available for Stock Options under this Plan, the Award Limit specified in Section (12), the shares subject to any Stock Option and the price per share shall each be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock subsequent to the effective date of this Plan resulting from: (1) a subdivision or consolidation of shares or any other capital adjustment, (2) the payment of a Stock dividend, or (3) other increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.

If RTI shall be the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation, any Stock Option shall pertain, apply and relate to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Option would have been entitled after the merger or consolidation.

Upon: 1) dissolution or liquidation of RTI, 2) a merger or consolidation in which RTI is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of RTI in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the stockholders of the Company or their relative stock holdings and the Stock Options granted under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption, conversion or replacement will be binding on all optionees), or 3) a merger or consolidation in which RTI is the surviving corporation but after which the stockholders of the Company

(other than any stockholder which merges [or which owns or controls another corporation which merges] with RTI in such merger) cease to own their shares or other equity interests in the Company, 4) the sale of substantially all of the assets of RTI, or 5) the acquisition, sale or transfer of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company by tender offer or similar transaction (otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution), all Stock Options outstanding under this Plan shall terminate after a period of three months from the completion of such trigger event; provided, however, that each Participant (and each other person entitled to exercise a Stock Option) shall have the right, immediately upon announcement of such event to exercise such Participant’s Stock Options in whole or in part, for a period of three months from the completion of such trigger event but only to the extent that such Stock Options are otherwise exercisable under the terms of this Plan.

(12) ANNUAL AWARD LIMIT. No Participant may receive a Stock Option for the purchase of more than Three Hundred Thousand (300,000) shares of Stock in one calendar year.

(13) AGREEMENT AND REPRESENTATION OF PARTICIPANTS. As a condition to the exercise of any portion of a Stock Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Stock Option to represent and warrant at the time of such exercise that any shares of Stock acquired at exercise are being acquired only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares, if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such representation is required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any other applicable law, regulation or rule of any governmental agency.

(14) RESERVATION OF SHARES OF STOCK. RTI, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available the number of shares of Stock that shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Plan.

(15) EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. The Plan shall be effective from the date that this Plan is approved by the Board.

(16) TAX REPORTING FOR ISO EXERCISE. RTI or a subsidiary of RTI, as appropriate, shall furnish a statement to any Participant exercising an ISO on or before January 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which an ISO exercise occurs in compliance with Section 6039(a) of the Code. The statement shall contain the information required by the Code as of the date such information is to be provided. As of the Date of Approval, such information would include:

(G) A statement that the ISO is an ISO; and

(H) The total cost of the shares.

(17) RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS. No person shall have any rights or claims under the Plan except in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company.

(18) USE OF PROCEEDS. Proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to Stock Options granted under this Plan shall constitute general funds of the Company.

(19) AMENDMENT. The Board of Directors may discontinue the Plan and the Administrator may amend the Plan from time to time, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which, without the approval of the stockholders, would:

(A) Except as provided in Section (11) of the Plan, increase the total number of shares reserved for the purposes of the Plan;

(B) Decrease the Option Price of an ISO to less than the amounts shown in Section (6) of the Plan; or

Except as provided in Section (11) of the Plan, neither shall any amendment, alteration or discontinuation impair the rights of any holder of a Stock Option theretofore granted without his consent; provided, however, that if the Administrator, after consulting with Management of the Company, determines that the application of an accounting standard in compliance with any statement issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any other entity that reviews accounting disclosures of (or sets accounting standards for) public companies concerning the treatment of employee Stock Options would have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements because of the fact that Stock Options granted before the issuance of such statement are then outstanding, then the Administrator in its absolute discretion may cancel and revoke all outstanding Stock Options to which such adverse effect is attributed and the holders of those Stock Options shall have no further rights in respect thereof. Such cancellation and revocation shall be effective upon written notice by the Administrator to the holders of such Stock Options.
