CONVERSION, CERTIFICATES AND PLANS

2.1              CONVERSION OF SHARES

At the Effective Date of the Merger, each of the following transactions shall be deemed to occur simultaneously:

 (a)  COMMON STOCK.  RTRO is effectuating a 1 for 25 reverse-split of the common stock and each share of RTRO's common stock, zero par value per share ("RTRO STOCK"), issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Date of the Merger shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the Surviving Corporation's common stock, $0.001 par value per share on a post reverse split basis (the "SURVIVING CORPORATION STOCK").
 
 
 
1


 
(b)  PREFERRED STOCK.  Each share of RTRO's preferred stock, zero par value per share ("RTRO PREFERRED STOCK"), issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Date of the Merger shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the Surviving Corporation's preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "SURVIVING CORPORATION PREFERRED STOCK").

(c)  OTHER RIGHTS.  Any other right,  by contract or otherwise,  to acquire shares of RTRO Stock  outstanding  immediately  before the Effective Date of the Merger  shall,  by virtue of the Merger  and  without  any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and become a right to acquire, upon the same terms and conditions,  the number of shares of Surviving  Corporation  Stock that is equal to the number of shares of RTRO Stock that the right  holder would have  received had the right holder exercised such right in full  immediately  before the Effective  Date of the  Merger  (whether  or not such  right  was then exercisable)  and the  exercise  price per share under each such right shall be equal to the exercise price per share thereunder  immediately before the Effective Date of the Merger,  unless otherwise provided in the agreement granting such right.

(d)     OTC MARKET EXCHANGE.  Our common stock is listed on the OTC Pink Sheets and will continue to be listed on the OTC Pink Sheets after the reincorporation.  Following the Merger, each share of common stock of RTRO will be automatically converted into one share of common stock of PARENT Delaware. RTRO stock certificates will be deemed automatically to represent an equal number of shares of PARENT Delaware common stock. Following the reincorporation, previously outstanding RTRO California stock certificates may be delivered in effecting sales through a broker, or otherwise, of shares of PARENT Delaware stock. IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR SHAREHOLDERS TO EXCHANGE THEIR EXISTING RTRO STOCK CERTIFICATES FOR STOCK CERTIFICATES OF PARENT DELAWARE.

2.2              STOCK CERTIFICATES

After  the  Effective  Date of the  Merger,  each  certificate  theretofore representing issued and outstanding shares of RTRO Stock will thereafter be  deemed to  represent  the same  number of shares of the same  class and series  of  capital stock of PARENT.  The holders of outstanding certificates theretofore representing RTRO Stock will not be required to surrender such certificate to RTRO or the Surviving Corporation.

2.3           EMPLOYEE BENEFIT AND COMPENSATION PLANS

At the Effective Date of the Merger, each employee benefit plan,  incentive compensation  plan and other  similar plans to which RTRO is then a party  shall  be  assumed  by,  and  continue  to be the plan  of,  the  Surviving Corporation.   To  the  extent  any  employee   benefit   plan,   incentive  compensation plan or other similar plan of RTRO provides for the issuance or purchase of, or otherwise relates to, RTRO Stock,  after the Effective Date of the Merger such plan shall be deemed to provide for the issuance or purchase of, or otherwise relate to, Surviving Corporation Stock.
