THE ACQUISITION
1.1
The Acquisition. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, at the Closing (as hereinafter defined) ASFT Shareholders will sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to VNUN one or more stock certificates representing all outstanding ASFT Shares, and as consideration for the acquisition of ASFT Shares, VNUN will issue to each ASFT Shareholder, in exchange for such ASFT Shareholder’s pro rata portion of ASFT Shares, one or more stock certificates representing the number of shares of common stock set forth opposite such ASFT Shareholder’s name in Column II on Schedule 1.1(a) attached hereto (collectively, the “VNUN Shares”). In addition, at Closing, ASFT shall pay to VNUN Shareholder an amount equal to $510,000, a portion of which shall be used to directly pay liabilities of VNUN in the amounts owed to each person as set forth in Schedule 1.1(b) (“Cash Payment”). The parties acknowledge that $200,000 of the Cash Payment has already been paid to VNUN Shareholder.

VNUN has not, and the past and present officers, directors and affiliates of VNUN have not, been the subject of, nor does any officer or director of VNUN have any reason to believe that VNUN or any of its officers, directors or affiliates will be the subject of, any civil, criminal or administrative proceeding or investigation by any federal or state agency having regulatory authority over VNUN, including but not limited to any agency alleging a violation of securities laws including the SEC.
4.22
Subsidiaries and Investments.
(a)
Except as set forth in Schedule 4.22(a), VNUN does not own any capital stock or have any interest of any kind whatsoever in any corporation, partnership, or other form of business organization (any such organization is referred to as a “Subsidiary”).
(b)
Schedule 4.22(b) sets forth true and complete copies of the charter of each Subsidiary, as well as any limited liability company agreement, operating agreement or shareholder agreement relating to such Subsidiary, and any acquisition agreement relating to any Subsidiary. All corporate or other action that has been taken by any Subsidiary has been duly authorized and does not conflict with or violate any provision of its charter, bylaws or other organizational documents.
11
(c)
Each Subsidiary (i) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) has all requisite and necessary power and authority to own, operate or lease those assets or properties which are owned, operated or leased by it and to conduct its business as it has been and currently is being conducted, (iii) is qualified to do business in all jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on its business.
(d)
Except as set forth in Schedule 4.22(d), all outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests of each Subsidiary are validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights and are owned (either directly or indirectly) by VNUN without any encumbrances.
(e)
Except as set forth in Schedule 4.22(e), there are no outstanding securities convertible into or exchangeable for the capital stock of or other equity interests in any Subsidiary and no outstanding options, rights, subscriptions, calls commitments, warrants or rights of any character for VNUN, any Subsidiary or any other person or entity to purchase, subscribe for or to otherwise acquire any shares of such stock or other securities of any Subsidiary.

Copies of same have been made available to ASFT.
4.23
Broker’s Fees. Neither VNUN, nor anyone on its behalf has any liability to any broker, finder, investment banker or agent, or has agreed to pay any brokerage fees, finder’s fees or commissions, or to reimburse any expenses of any broker, finder, investment banker or agent in connection with this Agreement.
4.24
Internal Accounting Controls. VNUN maintains 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 GAAP 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. VNUN has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for VNUN and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to VNUN is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which VNUN’s Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as the case may be, is being prepared. VNUN’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of VNUN’s controls and procedures as of end of the filing period prior to the filing date of the Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). VNUN presented in its most recently filed Form 10-KSB or Form 10-QSB the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in VNUN’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.
12

Listing and Maintenance Requirements.

VNUN is, and has no reason to believe that it will not, in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such quoting, listing and maintenance requirements.
4.26
Application of Takeover Protections. VNUN and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under VNUN’s certificate or articles of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to ASFT or ASFT Shareholders as a result of the Acquisition or the exercise of any rights by ASFT or ASFT Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement.
4.27
No SEC or NASD Inquiries. Neither VNUN nor any of its past or present officers or directors is, or has ever been, the subject of any formal or informal inquiry or investigation by the SEC or NASD.
4.28

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
PURCHASER:
___________________________
ISSUER:
Ventures-United Inc.
SECURITY:
Common Stock, par value $.0001
QUANTITY:
______________________ Shares
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities of the Company, I, the purchaser represent to the Company the following:
(1)
Investment. I am purchasing the Securities for investment for my own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (as Amended). These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends on, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection I understand that, in view of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if my representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities or for the period of one year or any other fixed period in the future.
(2)
Restrictions on Transfer Under Securities Act. I further acknowledge and understand that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Moreover, I understand that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. In addition, I understand that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required.
(3)
Sales Under Rule 144. I am aware of the adoption of Rule 144 by the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act, which in substance permits limited public resale of securities acquired in a non- public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including: (i) the availability of certain current public information about the Company, (ii) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a "market maker," and (iv) the amount of securities sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations (generally 1% of the total shares outstanding).
(4)
Limitations on Rule 144. I further acknowledge and understand that the Company is not now, and at any time I wish to sell the Securities may not be, satisfying the public information requirement of Rule 144, and, in such case, I would be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the minimum holding period had been satisfied.
23
(5)
Sales Not Under Rule 144. I further acknowledge that, if all the requirements of Rule 144 are not met, then Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the staff of the Commission has expressed its opinion (i) that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering or exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and (ii) that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so their own risk.
(6)
Stop Transfer Instructions. I further understand that stop transfer instructions will be in effect with respect to the transfer of the Securities consistent with the above.
(7)
Additional Representations and Warranties. In addition, I represent and warrant:
(i)
That I have had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company ( or any person acting on its behalf) concerning the Company and my proposed investment in the Securities;
(ii)
That I have concluded that I have sufficient information upon which to base my decision to acquire the Securities;
(iii)
That I have made my own determination of the value of the Securities and have not relied upon any statements, representations or warranties of the Company regarding the value of the Securities or the business prospects of the Company;
(iv)
That I understand that in acquiring the Securities, I am making a highly speculative investment with the knowledge that the Company is in the initial stages of development;
(v)
That I am capable of bearing the economic risk and burdens of the investment, the possibility of complete loss of all of the investment, and the possible inability to readily liquidate the investment due to the lack of public market; and
(vi)
That I understand that, in selling and transferring the Securities, the Company had relied upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and that, in an attempt to effect compliance with all the conditions of such exemption, the Company is relying in good faith upon all of my foregoing representations and warranties.

Commencing on the execution and delivery of this Agreement and for the period ending twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, Shareholder shall be allowed to sell, 1/12th of such Shareholder's Shares per month during the Leak-Out Period, on a cumulative basis, meaning that if no Shares were sold during one month while the Shares were qualified to be sold, up to 2/12ths of such Shareholder's Shares could be sold in the next successive month and so forth. Each Shareholder agrees that all sales will be made at no less than the best "asked" prices, and no sales will be made at the "bid" prices for the Lock Up Shares.
(b)

(c)
An appropriate legend describing this Agreement shall be imprinted on

Unless otherwise agreed by the Shareholders, all such waivers shall be pro rata, as to all of the Shareholders who executed a Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement whose Common Stock can, at the time of any such waiver, be publicly sold in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or Rule 144 promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise.

4.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other agreements between the parties, the Shareholders shall be entitled to their respective beneficial rights of ownership of the Common Stock, including the right to vote the Common Stock for any and all purposes.
5.
The number of shares of Common Stock included in any monthly allotment that can be sold by a Shareholder shall be appropriately adjusted should VNUN make a dividend or distribution, undergo a forward split or a reverse split or otherwise reclassify its shares of Common Stock.

VNUN or each Shareholder who fails to fully adhere to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be liable to every other party for any damages suffered by any party by reason of any such breach of the terms and conditions hereof. Each Shareholder agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by any such Shareholder, that in addition to all other remedies that may be available in law or in equity to the non-defaulting parties, a preliminary and permanent injunction, without bond or surety, and an order of a court requiring such defaulting Shareholder to cease and desist from violating the terms and conditions of this Agreement and specifically requiring such Shareholder to perform his/her/its obligations hereunder is fair and reasonable by reason of the inability of the parties to this Agreement to presently determine the type, extent or amount of damages that VNUN or the non-defaulting Shareholders may suffer as a result of any breach or continuation thereof.
11.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada applicable to contracts entered into and to be performed wholly within said State; and VNUN and the Shareholders agree that any action based upon this Agreement may be brought in the United States and state courts of Nevada only, and each submits himself/herself/itself to the jurisdiction of such courts for all purposes hereunder.
13.
In the event of default hereunder, the non-defaulting parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in the enforcement of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have duly executed and delivered this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
