    SAR
      Exchange Agreement 

    

      July

        2007

    

    [Name]

    

    Dear
      [Name]:

     

    As
      you
      may know, 180 Connect Inc. (the “180
      Connect”)
      has
      entered into an Arrangement Agreement by and among Ad.Venture Partners, Inc.
      (“Ad.Venture”),
      6732097 Canada Inc., an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Ad.Venture
      (“Purchaser”),
      and
      180 Connect, pursuant to which Purchaser will acquire all of outstanding shares
      of 180 Connect (the “Arrangement”).
      In
      connection with the Arrangement, Ad.Venture agreed to assume all of 180
      Connect’s obligations under its outstanding share appreciation rights. The
      Arrangement is expected to close on or about August ___, 2007 (the “Closing
      Date”).
      

     

    You
      currently hold one or more outstanding share appreciation rights to acquire
      common shares of 180 Connect (the “180
      Connect SARs”)
      purportedly granted to you under 180 Connect’s “Long Term Share Compensation
      Plan” and an “Award Agreement.” Because 180 Connect never adopted such a plan or
      award agreement, your 180 Connect SARs are evidenced only by a Notice of Grant
      of Share Appreciation Rights, dated December 6, 2006 (the “Grant
      Notice”).
      Accordingly, in order to consummate the exchange of your 180 Connect SARs for
      new Ad.Venture stock appreciation rights, you will also need to enter into
      the
      attached Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement (the “SAR
      Agreement”)
      with
      Ad.Venture to document the missing terms, conditions, and definitions applicable
      to your exchanged 180 Connect SARs. Any terms not defined herein will have
      the
      meaning as provided in the SAR Agreement. 

     

    Pursuant
      to the Arrangement Agreement, Ad.Venture will exchange all unexercised 180
      Connect SARs outstanding on the Closing Date for stock appreciation rights
      to
      acquire Ad.Venture common stock. This SAR Exchange Agreement (this “Exchange
      Agreement”)
      evidences the terms of Ad.Venture’s exchange of your 180 Connect SARs, including
      the necessary adjustments for the exchange of 180 Connect SARs that are required
      by the Arrangement. 

     

    The
      table
      below summarizes your stock appreciation rights immediately before and after
      the
      Arrangement:

                Price per Share

            	
               

            	
              No.

              US$1.50

            	 	 	 	 	
              $

            	
              US2.40

            	 

    

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    The
      post-Arrangement adjustments are based on the “Exchange
      Ratio”
of
      0.6
      set forth in the Arrangement Agreement and are intended to: (i) assure that
      the
      total spread of your exchanged 180 Connect SARs (i.e.,
      the
      difference between the aggregate fair market value of the underlying securities
      and the aggregate strike price immediately after the exchange) does not exceed
      the total spread that existed in respect of your 180 Connect SARs immediately
      prior to the exchange; and (ii) to preserve, on a per share basis, the ratio
      of
      strike price to fair market value that existed immediately prior to the
      Arrangement. The number of shares of Ad.Venture common stock subject to your
      exchanged 180 Connect SARs was determined by multiplying the Exchange Ratio
      by
      the number of shares remaining subject to your 180 Connect SARs on the Closing
      Date and rounding the resulting product down to the nearest whole number of
      shares of Ad.Venture common stock. The strike price per share of your exchanged
      180 Connect SARs was determined by dividing the strike price per share of your
      180 Connect SARs by the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting quotient
      up to
      the nearest whole cent. 

     

    Following
      the exchange of your 180 Connect SARs, any references in the Grant Notice to:
      (i) the “Award
      Agreement”
means
      the SAR Agreement, (ii) the “Corporation”
means
      Ad.Venture, and (iii) “Plan”
means
      the SAR Agreement. All references in the Grant Notice relating to your
      employment status with 180 Connect will now refer to your employment status
      with
      Ad.Venture or any present or future Ad.Venture affiliate. 

     

    The
      vesting schedule, exercise dates, and expiry date of your exchanged 180 Connect
      SARs remain the same as set forth in the Grant Notice (with the number of shares
      subject to each vesting and exercise installment and the strike price per share
      adjusted to reflect the effect of the Exchange Ratio). Note that the occurrence
      of the Arrangement will not result in a “Change of Control Transaction” as set
      forth in the Grant Notice because 180 Connect shareholders will hold a majority
      of the voting interests of Ad.Venture following the Arrangement. 

     

    All
      other
      provisions which govern either the exercise or the termination of your exchanged
      180 Connect SARs will be governed by your Grant Notice and the attached SAR
      Agreement which will govern and control your rights to purchase shares of
      Ad.Venture common stock pursuant to your exchanged 180 Connect SARs. Upon
      termination of your employment any of your exchanged 180 Connect SARs that
      have
      not vested will expire and not become exercisable for shares of Ad.Venture
      common stock.

     

    Nothing
      in the Grant Notice, the attached SAR Agreement, or this Exchange Agreement
      interferes in any way with your right and your employer’s right, which rights
      are expressly reserved, to terminate your employment at any time for any reason.
      Future equity awards, if any, you may receive from Ad.Venture will be governed
      by the terms of the Ad.Venture equity incentive plan under which such equity
      awards are granted, and such terms may be different from the terms of your
      exchanged 180 Connect SARs.

      180
      Connect SARs will not be exercisable for shares of Ad.Venture common
      stock.

    Ad.Venture

    Stock
      Appreciation Right Agreement

     

    Pursuant
      to your Notice of Grant of Share Appreciation Rights, dated December 6, 2006
      (“Grant
      Notice”),
      the
      SAR Exchange Agreement between you and Ad.Venture Partners, Inc. (the
“Exchange
      Agreement”),
      and
      this Stock Appreciation Right Agreement (the “SAR

      Ad.Venture Partners, Inc. (the “Corporation”)
      has
      agreed to exchange your share appreciation rights to acquire shares of 180
      Connect Inc. for stock appreciation rights to acquire shares of Common Stock

    The
      details of your Award are as follows:

     

    1. Administration.
      Your
      Award shall be administered by the Board or a committee of the Board designated

      authority to construe and interpret your Award and any benefits granted
      herewith, to establish rules for its administration, to correct any defect
      or
      supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in your Award or in any
      benefit granted herewith, and to make all other determinations which it deems
      necessary or advisable for administration of your Award. The decisions,
      determinations, and interpretations made by the Board shall be binding and
      conclusive on you and your legal representatives, heirs, and beneficiaries.
      

     

    2. Vesting.
      Subject
      to the conditions and limitations contained herein, your Award shall vest as
      provided in your Grant Notice, provided that vesting shall cease upon the
      termination of your Continuous Service.

     

    3. Number
      of Shares and Strike Price.
      The
      number of shares of Common Stock subject to your Award and your strike price
      per
      share (as originally set forth in your Grant Notice and subsequently adjusted
      in
      your Exchange Agreement) may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization
      Adjustments.

     

    4. Term.
      Your
      Award (or portions thereof) shall expire upon the earliest of the
      following:

     

    (a) to
      the
      extent not vested at the time of termination of your Continuous Service, such
      portion of your Award shall expire immediately; 

     

    (b) to
      the
      extent vested and exercised on your behalf in accordance with your Grant Notice,
      such portion of your Award shall expire concurrently therewith; 

     

    (c) to
      the
      extent not exercised immediately following a Change of Control Transaction;
      or

     

    (d) December

    5. Automatic

        -4-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    6. Calculation
      of Appreciation.
      The
      amount payable upon exercise of each vested stock appreciation right shall
      be
      equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock
      on
      the date of exercise, over (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock
      on the date of grant of your Award (as originally set forth in your Grant Notice
      and subsequently adjusted in your Exchange Agreement).

     

    7. Payment.
      Subject
      to Section 11,
      the
      amount payable upon exercise of your Award shall be settled in whole shares
      of
      Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) based on the Fair Market
      Value of such shares at the time of exercise, and any fractional shares
      remaining shall be paid in cash. However, in order to avoid such payment from
      being subject to the provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, if at the
      time of such payment, (i) you are a “specified employee” as defined in Section
      409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and (ii) you have a experienced a “separation from
      service” with the Corporation or an Affiliate within the meaning of Treasury
      Regulation §1.409A-1(h), then such payment shall be delayed until the earlier of
      (x) six (6) months, or (y) your death. 

     

    8. Securities
      Law Compliance.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, your Award will
      not
      be exercised unless either (i) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
      exercise are then registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) the Corporation
      has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the
      registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exercise of your Award
      also
      must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your Award,
      and
      you may not exercise your Award if the Corporation determines that such exercise
      would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

     

    9. Transferability.
      Your
      Award is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and
      distribution. 

     

    10. Award
      not a Service Contract.
      Your
      Award is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award shall
      be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to
      continue in the employ of the Corporation or any Affiliate, or of the
      Corporation or an Affiliate to continue your employment or service. In addition,
      nothing in your Award shall obligate the Corporation or an Affiliate, their
      respective stockholders, boards of directors, officers or employees to continue
      any relationship that you might have as a director or consultant for the
      Corporation or any Affiliate.

     

    11. Withholding
      Obligations.

     

    (a) At
      the
      time your Award is exercised, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter
      as
      requested by the Corporation, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll
      and
      any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision
      for, any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax
      withholding obligations of the Corporation or an Affiliate, if any, which arise
      in connection with the exercise of your Award.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -5-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (b) Subject
      to any applicable legal conditions or restrictions, the Corporation may withhold
      from shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of
      your
      Award a number of whole shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value,
      determined by the Corporation as of the date of exercise, not in excess of
      the
      minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lesser amount
      as
      may be necessary to avoid classification of your Award as a liability for
      financial accounting purposes).

     

    12. Corporate
      Transactions.
      In the
      event of a Corporate Transaction that is not a Change of Control Transaction,
      any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or
      acquiring corporation’s parent company) may assume or continue your Award or may
      substitute a similar stock award for your Award (including but not limited
      to,
      awards to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders of the
      Corporation pursuant to the Corporate Transaction). Such assumption,
      continuation, or substitution shall preserve the existing value of your Award
      at
      the time of the Corporate Transaction and shall provide for subsequent payout
      in
      accordance with the same vesting and exercise schedule applicable to your Award.
      

     

    13. Personal
      Data.
      You
      understand that your employer, the Corporation, or an Affiliate hold certain
      personal information about you, including but not limited to your name, home
      address, telephone number, date of birth, national social insurance number,
      salary, nationality, job title, and details of all shares of Common Stock
      granted, cancelled, vested, unvested, or outstanding (the “Personal
      Data”).
      Certain Personal Data may also constitute “Sensitive
      Personal Data”
      within
      the meaning of applicable local law. Such data include but are not limited
      to
      Personal Data and any changes thereto, and other appropriate personal and
      financial data about you. You hereby provide express consent to the Corporation
      or an Affiliate to process any such Personal Data and Sensitive Personal Data.
      You also hereby provide express consent to the Corporation and/or an Affiliate
      to transfer any such Personal Data and Sensitive Personal Data outside the
      country in which you are employed or retained, including the United States.
      The
      legal persons for whom such Personal Data are intended are the Corporation
      and
      any broker company providing services to the Corporation in connection with
      the
      administration of your Award. You have been informed of your right to access
      and
      correct your Personal Data by applying to the Corporation representative
      identified on the Exchange Agreement.

     

    14. Additional
      Agreements and Acknowledgements.
      You
      hereby agree and acknowledge that:

     

    (a) The
      rights and obligations of the Corporation with respect to your Award shall

      Corporation’s successors and assigns.

      agree
      upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or
      desirable in the sole determination of the Corporation to carry out the purposes
      or intent of your Award.

      number of shares of Common Stock payable on exercise of your Award.

      Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations,

      all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
      Corporation.

      conditions of this Award as a condition to receive this Award.

     

    (h) This
