HOLDER OF ELIGIBLE OPTIONS FOR THE PURCHASE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
WITH EXERCISE PRICES RANGING FROM TO

HEREINAFTER “MY ELIGIBLE OPTIONS”

o I choose not to participate in the Exchange Offer at this time.

o I choose to participate in the Exchange Offer and acknowledge and understand that:

(1) I hereby tender to RTI for exchange all My Eligible Options and understand that, upon acceptance by RTI, this Election Form will constitute a binding agreement between RTI and me.

(2) If I validly tender My Eligible Options for exchange, and they are accepted and cancelled, I will receive New Options to acquire half the number of shares of RTI Common Stock that were underlying My Eligible Options at the time of the exchange (“My New Options”).

(3) My New Options will vest as follows: (i) for employees, including employee Directors, My New Options shall vest one year after the Date of Grant and (ii) for non-employee Directors, My New Options shall vest immediately. If I give or receive notice of termination of my relationship with RTI, unvested portions of My New Options will not continue to vest.

(4) My New Options will have an exercise price equal to the higher of: 1) the last sales price of the Common Stock as reported on the NYSE Alternext, US, LLC (formerly the American Stock Exchange) (the “NYSE Alternext”) on the Date of Grant of the New Options rounded to the next highest dime or 2) $1.30. I understand that the New Options will be granted under RTI’s 2008 Plan.

(5) If I am an employee My New Options will be incentive stock options unless federal tax rules limit this characterization. If tax rules limit this characterization, then My New Options will be non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”). If I am a non-employee Director, My New Options will be NQSOs.

(6) My New Options will have substantially the same terms and conditions as My Eligible Options surrendered for such New Options, except as follows:

ELECTION FORM – Page 1 of 3 Pages

· The exercise price for My New Options will be equal to the higher of: 1) the last sales price of the Common Stock as reported on the NYSE Alternext on the Date of Grant rounded to the next highest dime or 2) $1.30;

· My New Options will have a new ten (10) year termination period beginning on the Date of Grant;

· If My New Options are NQSOs, then I will be required to pay withholding and employment taxes due on the date of exercise by the payment of cash instead of by the tendering of shares obtained by the exercise of My Eligible Options (assuming they were NQSOs);

· My New Options will not be transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; and

· My New Options will continue, like My Eligible Options, to vest immediately in the event of dissolution, liquidation, or merger where the Company does not survive. However, My New Options will allow me three months in which to exercise my options (in such events) whereas My Eligible Options required immediate exercise in such event. In addition, My New Options will vest immediately in the event of the transfer of 50 percent or more of the Common Stock then outstanding or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company.

(7) RTI has advised me to consult with my own advisors as to the consequences of my participating or not participating in this Exchange Offer.

(8) To remain eligible to tender My Eligible Options for exchange and cancellation pursuant to the Exchange Offer, I understand that I must remain an Eligible Participant and must not have received nor have given a notice of termination prior to the date that the Exchange Offer expires, which is scheduled to be 5:00 p.m., Central Standard Time, on November 18, 2008, unless the Exchange Offer is extended. I understand that if I give or receive notice of termination of my relationship with RTI prior to the Expiration Date of the Exchange Offer or otherwise become ineligible, RTI will not accept My Eligible Options for cancellation and I, or my estate or beneficiaries, as the case may be, will retain My Eligible Options with their current terms and conditions.

(9) If I cease my employment with RTI before My New Options fully vest, I will forfeit any unvested portion of My New Options.

(10) Neither the ability to participate in the Exchange Offer nor actual participation in the Exchange Offer shall be construed as a right to continued employment or relationship with RTI.

(11) In accordance with the Exchange Offer, RTI may extend, amend, withdraw, or terminate the Exchange Offer and postpone its acceptance and cancellation of My Eligible Options that I have tendered for exchange in certain events. In any such event, I understand that My Eligible Options tendered for exchange but not accepted will remain in effect with their current terms and conditions.

(12) This election is entirely voluntary. I am aware that I may change or withdraw my decision to tender My Eligible Options at any time until the Exchange Offer expires as described in the Election Form instructions. I understand that this decision to tender My Eligible Options will be irrevocable as of the Expiration Date, which is expected to be at 5:00 p.m., Central Standard Time, on November 18, 2008 (or later if the offer is extended).

(13) I hereby sell, assign, and transfer to RTI all right, title, and interest in and to all of My Eligible Options. I agree that I will have no further right or entitlement to purchase any shares of

ELECTION FORM – Page 2 of 3 Pages

RTI’s Common Stock under My Eligible Options on the date RTI accepts those options for exchange and cancellation.

(14) I agree to all of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer as set forth in the Offer to Exchange Stock Options dated October 17, 2008.
