Form of Warrant

THIS WARRANT AND THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”).

VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK TIME,
ON _______ __, 2___, OR UPON EARLIER REDEMPTION
 
This certifies that Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) or registered assigns is the registered holder of 250,000 warrants to purchase certain securities (each a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof, subject to the provisions contained herein, to purchase from Ad.Venture Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), one share of the Company’s Common Stock (each, a “Share”), at the Exercise Price set forth below. The exercise price of each Warrant (the “Exercise Price”) shall be equal to the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date of the closing of the arrangement (the “Arrangement”) pursuant to that certain Arrangement Agreement dated as of March 13, 2007 by and among the Company, 6732097 Canada Inc., and 180 Connect Inc.
 
Each Warrant evidenced hereby may be exercised at any time, as specified herein, on any Business Day (as defined below) on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Arrangement (the “Expiration Date”). Each Warrant remaining unexercised after 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights of the holder of this Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant shall cease.
 
 
 

 
 
In no event will the Company be obligated to pay holders of Warrants any cash or other consideration or otherwise “net cash settle” any Warrants. 
 
The holder of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate may exercise any Warrant evidenced hereby by delivering, not later than 5:00 P.M., New York time, on any Business Day on or prior to the Expiration Date (the “Exercise Date”) to the Company, (i) this Warrant Certificate, (ii) an election to purchase (“Election to Purchase”), properly executed by the holder hereof on the reverse of this Warrant Certificate, and substantially in the form included on the reverse of hereof and (iii) the Exercise Price for each Warrant to be exercised in lawful money of the United States of America by certified or official bank check or by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds. If any of (a) this Warrant Certificate, (b) the Election to Purchase, or (c) the Exercise Price therefor, is received by the Company after 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the specified Exercise Date, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date. If the date specified as the Exercise Date is not a Business Day, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day. If the Warrants to be exercised are received or deemed to be received after the Expiration Date, the exercise thereof will be null and void and any funds delivered to the Company will be returned to the holder as soon as practicable. In no event will interest accrue on funds deposited with the Company in respect of an exercise or attempted exercise of Warrants.
 
As used herein, the term “Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and is not a United States federal holiday or a day on which banking institutions generally are authorized or obligated by law or regulation to close in New York.
 
Warrants may be exercised only in whole numbers of Warrants. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. If fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are exercised, a new Warrant Certificate for the number of Warrants remaining unexercised shall be executed by the Company and delivered to the holder of this Warrant Certificate at the address specified on the books of the Company or as otherwise specified by such Registered Holder.
 
Laurus hereby agrees that Laurus shall not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, the Warrants or the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the first anniversary of the closing of the Arrangement.
 
The accrual of dividends, if any, on the Shares issued upon the valid exercise of any Warrant will be governed by the terms generally applicable to such Shares. From and after the issuance of such Shares, the former holder of the Warrants exercised will be entitled to the benefits generally available to other holders of Shares and such former holder’s right to receive payments of dividends and any other amounts payable in respect of the Shares shall be governed by, and shall be subject to, the terms and provisions generally applicable to such Shares.
 
 
 

 
 
The Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment as follows: (1) if after the date hereof, and otherwise subject to the terms of this Warrant Certificate, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock, or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (2) if after the date hereof, and otherwise subject to the terms of this Warrant Certificate, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in items (1) and (2) above, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in this paragraph, the Company shall give written notice to the Warrant holder, at the last address set forth for such holder in the warrant register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.
 
Upon due presentment for registration of transfer or exchange of this Warrant Certificate the Company shall execute, in the name of the designated transferee one or more new Warrant Certificates of any authorized denomination evidencing in the aggregate a like number of unexercised Warrants.
 
Neither this Warrant Certificate nor the Warrants evidenced hereby shall entitle the holder hereof or thereof to any of the rights of a holder of the Shares, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, if any, or payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or to exercise voting rights, if any.
 
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Warrant Certificate.
 
This Warrant Certificate may not be amended without the consent of the holder of this Warrant Certificate or the Warrants evidenced thereby.
 
The Warrants have been issued in a private placement and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE AND ALL RIGHTS HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS FORMED AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.
