(b) Upon receipt by the Company of the requisite payment for the Debentures being purchased, the Debentures so purchased will be forwarded by the Escrow Agent to the Purchaser or its broker, as listed on the signature page, and the name of such Purchaser will be registered on the Debenture transfer books of the Company as the record owner of such Debentures. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by him in good faith and in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable or responsible except for the Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent has made no representations or warranties in connection with this transaction and has not been involved in the negotiation of the terms of this Agreement or any matters relative thereto. The Company and Purchaser each agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from and with respect to any suits, claims, actions or liabilities arising in any way out of this transaction including the obligation to defend any legal action brought which in any way arises out of or is related to this Agreement.

otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:
THE
SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD,

TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS

Company shall have its transfer agent send Purchaser the appropriate number of
shares of Common Stock without restrictive legends and not subject to stop
transfer instructions.

the Debentures and (b) to purchase and hold the Debentures; and (ii) the
signature of the party signing on behalf of such corporation is binding upon

investment, and not with a view toward the resale or distribution thereof,
except pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration under the 0000
Xxx. The Purchaser has not offered or sold any portion of the Debentures being
acquired nor does the Purchaser have any present intention of dividing the
Debentures with others or of selling, distributing or otherwise disposing of any
portion of the Debentures either currently or after the passage of a fixed or
determinable period of time or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any
predetermined event or circumstance in violation of the 1933 Act provided,
however, that by making the representations herein, Purchaser does not agree to
hold any of the Debentures for any minimum or other specific term and reserves
the right to dispose of the Debentures at any time in accordance with or
pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.

Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof or upon the payment of dividends
thereon and is not participating in the distribution or resale of the Debentures
or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof. Except as

the Purchaser to utilize the information made available to the Purchaser in
connection with the Offering to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment

thereto.

similar rights of others, and, except as set forth on Schedule 3(l), there is no

Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
p. Regulatory Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries have in full force and effect all certificates, approvals, authorizations and permits from the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities and comparable foreign regulatory agencies, necessary to own, lease or operate their respective properties and assets and conduct their respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, approval, authorization or permit, except for such certificates, approvals, authorizations or permits which if not obtained, or such revocations or modifications which, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
q. Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

Except as set forth on Schedule 3(t) and in the SEC Documents filed at least ten days prior to the date hereof and except for arm's length transactions pursuant to which the Company makes payments in the ordinary course of business upon terms no less favorable than the Company could obtain from third parties and other than the grant of stock options disclosed on Schedule 3(c), none of the officers, directors, or employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing person's
agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
(collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all actions, causes
of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and
damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such
Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is
sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the

contemplated hereby or thereby, (iv) any transaction financed or to be financed
in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance

omission or alleged omission is made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser which is

Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus. To the extent that
the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason,
the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction
of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable
law. The indemnity provisions contained herein shall be in addition to any cause
of action or similar rights the Purchaser may have, and any liabilities to which

anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Purchaser be
entitled to convert any of the Debentures to the extent that, after such

of the number of Debentures beneficially owned, (as such term is defined under
Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the

shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Conversion Date (as that term is
defined in the Debenture), as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the
1934 Act. In no event shall the Purchaser purchase shares of the Common Stock
other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the Debenture until such
date as the Purchaser has fully converted the Debentures into Common Stock.

Purchasers of [Company] [Describe Securities] _______________, 2001
Re: VirTra
Systems, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As counsel to VirTra Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), we are familiar with its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and with the corporate proceedings taken by it in connection with the proposed issuance and sale of convertible debentures (the “Securities”) pursuant to the related Subscription Agreement (including all Exhibits and Appendices thereto) (collectively the “Agreements”).
We have been furnished with copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Agreements, and have examined such other documents, agreements and records as we deemed necessary to render the opinions set forth below.
In conducting our examination, we have assumed the following: (i) that each of the Agreements has been executed by each of the parties thereto in the same form as the forms which we have examined, (ii) the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity and accuracy of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, (iii) that each of the Agreements has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the party or parties thereto other than the Company, and (iv) that each of the Agreements constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the party or parties thereto other than the Company, enforceable against such party or parties in accordance with the Agreements’ terms.
Based upon the subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of __________, and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business.
2. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of _______ shares of Common Stock, ________ par value per share, (“Common Stock”) and ______________ Preferred Stock, par value $________ per share; [describe classes if applicable]
3. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the Company has timely filed all the material required to be filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of such Act for a period of at least twelve months preceding the date hereof;
4. When duly countersigned by the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, and delivered to you or upon your order against payment of the agreed consideration therefor in accordance with the provisions of the Agreements, the Securities [and any Common Stock to be issued upon the conversion of the Securities] as described in the Agreements represented thereby will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable;
5 The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into the Subscription Agreement and to sell and deliver the Securities and the Common Stock to be issued upon the conversion of the Securities as described in the Agreements; each of the Agreements has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action by the Company to our knowledge, no approval of any governmental or other body is required for the execution and delivery of each of the Agreements by the Company or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby; each of the Agreements has been duly and validly executed and delivered by and on behalf of the Company, and is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by general equitable principles, bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors rights generally, and except as to compliance with federal, state, and foreign securities laws, as to which no opinion is expressed;
6. To the best of our knowledge, after due inquiry, the execution, delivery and performance of the Subscription Agreement and Securities by the Company and the performance of its obligations thereunder do not and will not constitute a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under or conflict with or violate any provision of (i) the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which the Company is party or by which it or any of its property is bound, (iii) any applicable statute or regulation or as other, (iv) or any judgment, decree or order of any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its property.
7. To the best of our knowledge, after due inquiry, there is no pending or threatened litigation, investigation or other proceedings against the Company [except as described in Exhibit A hereto].
8. The Company complies with the eligibility requirements for the use of Form SB-2, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
This opinion is rendered only with regard to the matters set out in the numbered paragraphs above. No other opinions are intended nor should they be inferred. This opinion is based solely upon the laws of the United States and the State of New York and does not include an interpretation or statement concerning the laws of any other state or jurisdiction. Insofar as the enforceability of the Subscription Agreement and Securities may be governed by the laws of other states, we have assumed that such laws are identical in all respects to the laws of the State of New York .
The opinions expressed herein are given to you solely for your use in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Subscription Agreement and Securities and may not be relied upon by any other person or entity or for any other purpose without our prior consent.
Very truly yours,

OPTIONS
In 1997 and 1998 the Company granted incentive
stock options to certain officers and members of the Company’s board of
directors (L. Xxxxx Xxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxxx) to purchase 1,166,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock at par value of $.005 per share. These options are
exercisable based on various levels of the Company’s stock price: (i)
options to purchase 222,000 shares at par value are exercisable if the
Company’s stock is trading at $1.50 per share; (ii) options to purchase
472,000 shares at par value are exercisable if the Company’s stock is
trading at $3.00 per share; (iii) options to purchase 222,000 shares at par
value are exercisable if the Company’s stock is trading at $4.50 per
share; and (iv) options to purchase 250,000 shares at par value are exercisable
if the Company’s common stock is trading at $5.00 per share. There is no
expiration date on these options.
In 1997 and 1998 in connection
with the convertible notes payable to certain stockholders the Company granted
options to purchase 75,000 shares of its common stock, at its par value of $.005
per share, to these convertible note holders.
In July 2001 options to purchase 150,000 shares
of common stock were granted to a consultant (Magnum Financial Corporation) as
inducement for services to be provided to the Company. The options are
exercisable at (i) the closing bid price per share on the date of grant for
50,000 shares; (ii) the closing bid price at the date of grant plus $.50 per
share for 50,000 shares; and (iii) the closing bid price at the date of grant
plus $1.00 per share for 50,000 shares. These options expire five years from
the date of grant. The Company deemed the value of these options to be
immaterial at the date of grant.
On June 1, 2001 the Company
granted options to a director (Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx) to purchase 100,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock at $0.49 per share, which was the fair market value
of the common stock on the date of grant. The options are exercisable on June
1, 2002.
In September 2001 the Company
granted incentive stock options to certain officers and members of the
Company’s board of directors (Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, and Xxxx Xxxxx)
to purchase 1,499,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at par value of
$.005 per share. These options are exercisable based on various levels of the
Company’s stock price: (i) options to purchase 333,000 shares at par value
are exercisable if the Company’s stock is trading at $1.50 per share; (ii)
options to purchase 583,000 shares at par value are exercisable if the
Company’s stock is trading at $3.00 per share; (iii) options to purchase
333,000 shares at par value are exercisable if the Company’s stock is
trading at $4.50 per share; and (iv) options to purchase 250,000 shares at par
value are exercisable if the Company’s common stock is trading at $5.00
per share. There is no expiration date on these options.
In
September 2001, the Company’s stockholders amended the 2000 Incentive
Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The stockholders have authorized
6,000,000 shares for the Plan and options granted under the Plan may be either
incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options subject to certain
restrictions as specified in the Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2001
no options were granted under this Plan; however, the Company has recently
issued 175,000 of these options to certain key employees.

CONFLICTS
Notes payable consist of the
following at December 31, 2001:
Notes payable
to a bank, bearing interest ranging from the prime rate (4.75% at December 31,
2001) to the prime rate plus 2% per year and due in average monthly payments of
approximately $31,000, including interest, through November 2002. These notes
are collateralized by certain equipment, licensing rights and by the personal
guarantees of officers/stockholders of the Company.
|
$
559,474
|
Notes payable
to banks, bearing interest from 6.75% to 9.5% per year, interest due monthly
and principal due on demand. These notes are not collateralized but are
guaranteed by officers/stockholders of the Company. Effective January 17, 2002,
certain of these notes were refinanced into a single note which bears interest
at the prime rate (4.75% at December 31, 2001) plus 1.5%, due in 36 monthly
installments of $8,824 and collateralized by an office building owned by an
officer/stockholder of the Company.
|
250,000
|
Notes payable
to third party entities and individuals bearing interest at a stated rate of 10%
payable semi- annually with principal due three years after issuance of the
note, which ranges from October 2001 to March 2002. These notes are not
collateralized. In connec- tion with the funding of these notes, Xxxxxx issued a
total of 412,500 shares of its common stock as equity attachments to the note
holders and to pay debt is- suance costs. Accordingly, the actual weighted
average interest rate on these notes, including the effect of the issuance of
common stock and the payment of debt issuance costs, was approximately
16%.

250,000
|
Note payable
to a financing entity, due on demand, non- interest bearing. This note is not
collateralized.
|
19,990
|
|
|
Total notes payable
|
$1,079,464
|
|
|
The notes payable to banks
contain various financial and non-financial covenants, which require the
Company, among other things, to maintain certain levels of stockholders’
equity and to comply with certain financial ratios. The Company was in
violation of these covenants as of December 31, 2001 and the banks could demand
full payment of all principal and interest.
|
Notes Payable-Stockholders
Notes payable to stockholders
consisted of the following at December 31, 2001:
Convertible
notes payable to stockholders, principal and interest due on demand, accruing
interest at 12% per year. These notes are collateralized by certain equipment
and contain a provision to convert the note to common stock.

$
100,000

are not collateralized.

416,500
|
Total notes payable to
stockholders
|
$
710,531
|
All notes due to stockholders
were in default as of December 31, 2001. Convertible notes payable to
stockholders in the amount of $100,000 were issued by the Company in increments
of $10,000 having an original maturity date of May 10, 1998. The holder of each
$10,000 of convertible note has a non-assignable option to purchase 7,500 shares
of common stock at par value. Alternately, each holder has the right to convert
their convertible note to equity in the form of 12,500 shares of restricted
common stock. None of the notes have been converted.
Of the $416,500 of notes payable
without interest described above, a $103,500 note provides for a per diem
issuance of common stock as penalty for late payments. As of December 31, 2001,
the per diem issuance would be in excess of 5,800,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock. The Company has received an opinion from counsel
that the penalty provisions are unenforceable as illegal usury under applicable
Texas law. However, there has not been any litigation between the Company and
the holder of the note as to this issue, and in the absence of a court decision
directly applicable to the parties, there remains at least some risk that the
opinion of counsel could be wrong. According to legal counsel there is no
likelihood of a sustainable assessment of the per diem late penalty. Therefore,
no provision for such charges has been provided.
Obligations Under Product Financing Arrangements
In financing the production of
its arcade equipment, the Company has entered into agreements whereby an entity
or individual advances funds to the Company to produce specific arcade
equipment. Under this arrangement, the Company has agreed to make monthly
payments of a specified amount for three years, with an automatic renewal for an
additional three years unless canceled in writing, from the origination date as
specified in the agreement. In addition, the entity or individual advancing the
funds has the right to exercise a buy-out whereby the Company has 180 days to
repay the obligation upon exercise of the buy-out. Interest is payable monthly
at an annual rate of approximately 16%.
In connection with these
financing arrangements, the Company has incurred debt issuance costs of
approximately 21% of the total obligation. These costs are being amortized over
a three year period using the interest method resulting in an effective annual
interest rate of approximately 29% on these obligations.
Obligations under these product
financing arrangements consist of the following at December 31, 2001:
Contractual balance
|
$4,569,796
|
Less: unamortized debt issuance
costs
|
(215,446)
|
Total obligation
|
$4,354,350
|
As of December 31, 2001, the
Company was in default of its obligations under the product financing
arrangements. The Company has not made any interest payments on these
obligations since September 2001 and has received notices from various
individuals and entities requesting buyouts of approximately $1,350,000 as of
December 31, 2001.

LITIGATION
In January, 1999, the Company brought suit in the 000xx
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx xx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, against Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, III, the
Company's former president. In the suit, the Company claims that Xx. Xxxxx,
while president of the Company, misappropriated funds by paying himself
consulting fees although no meaningful services were performed for the Company,
and that he threatened, without justification, to attempt to rescind the March
1997 stock-for-stock transaction in which the Company acquired the
brewpub/microbrewery operation from First Brewery of Dallas, Inc. In the suit,
the Company is asking for 1) a declaratory judgment that the March, 1997
agreement is a valid and binding agreement, 2) an injunction to prevent Xxxxx
from selling his shares in the Company, and 3) damages for misappropriation of
the Company's funds. As permitted under Texas law, the Company has not specified
in its petition the amount of damages the Company wants from Xx. Xxxxx. On May
18, 2000, Xxxxx counterclaimed against the Company and filed a third-party suit
against L. Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Company's chief executive officer. In his
counterclaim, Xxxxx claims that 1) Xxxxx made false representations in
connection with the stock-for-stock transaction in March of 1997 between the
shareholders of the former First Brewery of Dallas, Inc. and the Company, 2)
that Xxxxx breached his fiduciary duties to the Company's shareholders, and 3)
that the Company failed to pay Xxxxx for services he claims he rendered to the
Company. The Company believes the counterclaim and third-party action are
groundless and are brought in bad faith. The Company has vigorously defended the
claims, and is asking for sanctions against Xxxxx'x attorney for bringing the
groundless causes of action. The case is currently in pre-trial discovery. Xxxxx
has recently proposed a “walk-away” settlement.
