    person, we request that each common stockholder complete, sign,
    date and return the enclosed proxy prior to the special meeting
    to ensure that your shares will be represented at the special
    meeting if you are unable to attend. If you fail to return your
    proxy card, your shares will not be counted for purposes of
    determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting and will
    have the same effect as a vote against the approval and adoption
    of the merger agreement, but will not affect the outcome of the
    vote regarding the adjournment proposal, if necessary. If you
    are a stockholder of record, voting in person at the meeting
    will revoke any proxy previously submitted. If you hold your
    shares through a bank, broker or other custodian, you must
    obtain a legal proxy from such custodian in order to vote in

    shares attached to the Special Voting Share on your behalf, you
    should follow carefully the instructions in the Voting

    The procedure for instructing the trustee differs in certain
    respects from the procedure for delivering a proxy, including
    the place for depositing the instructions and the manner of
    revoking the proxy. The trustee should receive your voting
    instructions by 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on July&#160;3, 2008.
    This will give the trustee time to tabulate the voting
    instructions and vote on your behalf. If you wish to attend the
    meeting and vote in person, rather than have the trustee
    exercise voting rights on your behalf, you may do so by
    following the procedures set forth in the enclosed Voting

    In connection with the merger, 180 Connect Exchangeco Inc. has

    shares declaring that, subject to the over-riding call right of
    1305699 Alberta ULC, the exchangeable shares shall be redeemed
    immediately prior to the completion of the merger. 1305699
    Alberta ULC has exercised its over-riding call right in
    accordance with the terms and conditions of the articles of
    180&#160;Connect Exchangeco Inc. and, consequently, immediately
    prior to the completion of the merger, each outstanding
    exchangeable share shall be exchanged with 1305699 Alberta ULC
    for one share of our common stock. Upon completion of the
    merger, such shares of common stock shall entitle the holders to
    receive $1.80 in cash, without interest and less any applicable
    withholding taxes for each share of our common stock they have
    received in such exchange with 1305699 Alberta ULC. For example,
    if you own 100 exchangeable shares, each of these shares will be
    exchanged for one share of our common stock immediately prior to
    completion of the merger, and, upon completion of the merger,
    you will have the right to receive $180 in cash in exchange for
    these 180 Connect shares, less any applicable withholding tax.
    If the merger is not completed for any reason, then the
    exchangeable share redemption date shall not occur and no
    exchange with 1305699 Alberta ULC will take place.

    Blair, acted as financial advisor to 180 Connect in connection

    requested that William Blair render an opinion as to whether the
    merger consideration to be paid by DirecTV was fair, from a
    financial point of view, to 180 Connect stockholders. On
    April&#160;17, 2008, William Blair delivered its oral opinion to
    the special committee of the 180 Connect board of directors and
    subsequently confirmed in writing that, as of such date and
    based upon and subject to the assumptions and qualifications
    stated in its opinion, the merger consideration was fair, from a

    opinion carefully to learn about the assumptions made,
    procedures followed, matters considered and limits on the scope
    of the review undertaken by William Blair in rendering its
    opinion. William Blair&#146;s opinion relates only to the
    fairness, from a financial point of view, to 180&#160;Connect
    stockholders of the consideration to be paid by DirecTV in the
    merger, does not address any other aspect of the proposed merger

    must approve and adopt the merger agreement in order for the

    Connect and our stockholders, declared the merger agreement
    advisable and approved the merger agreement and the other
    transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The board of

    In late August 2007, shortly after the closing of the
    arrangement transaction between the Company (formerly known as
    Ad.Venture Partners, Inc.) and 180 Connect Inc. (a Canadian
    corporation), the Company engaged William Blair&#160;&#038; Co.
    to assist it in a proposed refinancing of the Company&#146;s
    credit facilities. At the time, the Company hoped to reduce the
    interest rate on its secured indebtedness, and to provide it
    with additional availability for ordinary course operations and
    potential acquisition transactions.

    However, due to several factors, among other things, (i)&#160;a
    higher than anticipated percentage of stockholders of Ad.Venture
    Partners, Inc. voting against the arrangement and electing to
    convert their shares into cash, (ii)&#160;a principal repayment
    being required to be paid to our senior lender, (iii)&#160;the
    acceleration and redemption of our convertible notes by the
    holders thereof, and (iv)&#160;significant costs incurred in
    connection with the arrangement, the net proceeds from the
    arrangement transaction were less than anticipated, and
    accordingly, the Company&#146;s cash position following the
    arrangement was not as strong as had been anticipated. As such,
    any refinancing would need to provide sufficient availability to
    address potential cash flow shortfalls. In addition, the Company
    sought to include its shares for listing on The Nasdaq Stock
    Market and American Stock Exchange, but due to the declining
    share price of our common stock the minimum listing requirements
    of these exchanges were not satisfied and the Company&#146;s
    shares remained traded on the OTC Bulletin&#160;Board.

    Subsequently, the Company retained a second financial advisor to
    assist it in its refinancing efforts. The Company also
    considered an equity financing, but determined that due to the
    Company&#146;s weakened stock price, the effect of such a
    financing would result in unacceptable dilution to the existing
    stockholders and would further depress the Company&#146;s stock
    price.

    From September 2007 through February 2008, the Company
    negotiated with numerous parties in connection with the
    refinancing of its debt facilities. The Company had limited
    success in attracting prospective lenders, in large part because
    of (i)&#160;the significant deterioration in the credit markets
    during such period, (ii)&#160;the weakening of the
    U.S.&#160;economy and its potential impact on the Company&#146;s
    operations, (iii)&#160;the Company&#146;s customer concentration
    with DIRECTV U.S., (iv)&#160;the ability of DIRECTV U.S.&#160;to
    cancel some or all of its business with the Company under its
    home service provider (&#147;HSP&#148;) agreement with the
    Company, (v)&#160;the Company&#146;s history of operating losses
    and its lack of material free cash flow, and (vi)&#160;the
    Company&#146;s predominately low margin business. After
    negotiating several proposals and term sheets it received from
    prospective lenders, the Company concluded that none of the
    proposed refinancing options would fully meet the Company&#146;s
    financing needs and each of them would likely result in an
    increase in the Company&#146;s borrowing costs and significant
    dilution to the Company&#146;s existing stockholders.

    The Company also held discussions with its current senior
    lender, pursuant to which the Company sought to modify the terms
    of its existing credit facilities, but ultimately the current
    lender was unwilling to lend the Company additional funds or to
    modify the terms of its credit facilities unless the Company
    would agree to prepay a significant portion of the current
    credit facility. Absent entering into a new credit facility with
    a third party or obtaining a capital infusion, the Company
    determined that it would be unable to reach an agreement with
    its current lender to modify the terms of its credit facilities.

    Mr.&#160;McCarthy responded to the representative of HM Capital

    On December&#160;18, 2007, the board of directors held its

    regarding its lack of success regarding refinancing the Company
    and weaker than expected financial results, including
    disappointing results in the Company&#146;s network services and
    structured home wiring business, the board discussed strategic
    alternatives in the event that the refinancing effort was not

    Messrs.&#160;McCarthy and Giacalone about the contacts they had

    alternative, but it did unanimously approve of management

    &#147;market check&#148; before or after a definitive agreement
    was executed with respect to the proposed transaction. SMH
    Capital joined the meeting and stated, among other things, that,
    based on its experience, there may be a limited universe of
    prospective strategic or growth-oriented acquirers for the
    Company because of, among other things, the Company&#146;s
    DIRECTV U.S.&#160;customer concentration and the Company&#146;s
    need to expedite any due diligence process because of its urgent
    refinancing needs. Upon receiving advice from SMH Capital and

    needed to engage in conversations with CVAS before entering into
    exclusivity with DIRECTV U.S.&#160;William Blair advised the
    directors that senior management had indicated its belief that
    DIRECTV U.S.&#160;would ultimately determine which entities
    would provide it with installation services, and that, in
    management&#146;s view, it was unlikely that DIRECTV
    U.S.&#160;would continue as a customer of the Company if an
    entity with no prior history as a DIRECTV U.S.&#160;home service
    provider acquired the Company. The board instructed SMH Capital
    to conduct further analysis of the revised CVAS offer, but
    prohibited any direct contact or other action with respect to

    On March&#160;15, 2008, the Company received a draft merger
    agreement from DirecTV, which among other things, proposed a
    deal structure which was contingent upon the closing of an asset
    sale and exchange transaction between DirecTV and UniTek. This
    structure was rejected by the Company and ultimately deleted in
    subsequent negotiations. From March&#160;15, 2008 to

    definition of material adverse effect, the requirement that the

    <I>Inability to Refinance the Company on Reasonable

    Company conducted two separate processes managed by two
    different placement agents to explore various debt refinancing
    alternatives. In general, the Company had limited success in
    attracting prospective lenders, in large part because of the
    significant deterioration in the credit markets during such
    period, the Company&#146;s customer concentration with DIRECTV
    U.S.&#160;and the ability of DIRECTV U.S.&#160;to cancel some or
    all of its business with the Company under its HSP agreement
    (each as referenced above), the Company&#146;s history of
    operating losses and its lack of material free cash flow, and
    the Company&#146;s predominately low margin business. And, after
    receiving and negotiating the several proposals and term sheets
    it was able to attract from prospective lenders, the Company
    concluded that none of the proposed refinancing options would
    fully meet the Company&#146;s financing needs and all of them
    would likely result in significant dilution to the
    Company&#146;s existing stockholders.

    opinion carefully to learn about the assumptions made,
    procedures followed, matters considered and limits on the scope
    of the review undertaken by William Blair in rendering its
    opinion. William Blair&#146;s opinion relates only to the
    fairness, from a financial point of view, to 180 Connect
    stockholders of the consideration to be paid by DirecTV in the
    merger, does not address any other aspect of the proposed merger
    or any related transaction, and does not constitute a
    recommendation to any stockholder as to how that stockholder
    should vote with respect to the merger agreement or the merger.
    William Blair did not address the merits of the underlying
    decision by 180 Connect to engage in the merger. The following
    summary of William Blair&#146;s opinion is qualified in its
    entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion.</B>

    William Blair provided the opinion described above for the
    information and assistance of the 180 Connect board of directors
    in connection with its consideration of the merger. The terms of
    the merger agreement and the amount and form of the merger
    consideration, however, were determined through negotiations
    between 180 Connect and DirecTV, and were approved by the 180
    Connect board of directors. William Blair provided financial
    advice to 180 Connect during such negotiations. However, William
    Blair did not recommend any specific amount or form of
    consideration to 180 Connect, or that any specific amount or
    form of consideration constituted the only appropriate
    consideration for the proposed merger.

    was advised by the senior management of 180 Connect that the
    Forecasts examined by William Blair were reasonably prepared on
    bases reflecting the best estimates then available and judgments
    of the senior management of 180 Connect. In that regard, William

    Among the information William Blair considered were revenue,
    earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and
    amortization (which we refer to as EBITDA), and earnings before
    interest and taxation (which we refer to as EBIT). William Blair
    considered the enterprise value as a multiple of revenue, EBITDA
    and EBIT for each company for the last twelve months for which
    results were publicly available and for the respective calendar
    year EBITDA and EBIT estimates for 2008. The operating results
    and the corresponding derived multiples for 180 Connect and each
    of the selected companies were based on each company&#146;s most
    recent available publicly disclosed financial information,
    closing share prices as of April&#160;15, 2008 and consensus
    Wall Street analysts&#146; estimates for calendar year 2008
    where appropriate. William Blair noted that it did not have
    access to internal forecasts for any of the selected public
    companies, except 180 Connect. The implied enterprise value of
    the transaction is based on the equity value implied by the
    purchase price plus the total debt, less any excess cash and
    cash equivalents at December&#160;31, 2007 based on 180

    William Blair noted that the implied transaction multiples based

    Although William Blair analyzed the multiples implied by the
    selected transactions and applied such multiples to 180 Connect,
    none of these transactions or associated companies is identical
    to the merger of 180&#160;Connect and DTV HSP Merger Sub.
    Accordingly, any analysis of the selected transactions
    necessarily involved complex considerations and judgments
    concerning the differences in financial and operating
    characteristics, parties involved and terms of their
    transactions and other factors that would necessarily affect the
    implied value of DirecTV versus the values of the companies in
    the selected transactions.

    <I>Premiums Paid Analysis.</I>&#160;&#160;William Blair reviewed
    data from 52 acquisitions of domestic publicly traded companies
    listed on the OTC Bulletin&#160;Board and 114 domestic publicly
    traded companies listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX occurring
    since January&#160;1, 2002 and with equity values between
    $25&#160;million and $75&#160;million which were financed with
    one hundred percent (100%) cash consideration. Specifically,
    William Blair analyzed the acquisition price per share as a
    premium to the closing share price one (1)&#160;day, one
    (1)&#160;week, four (4)&#160;weeks, sixty (60)&#160;days, and
    ninety (90)&#160;days prior to the announcement of the
    transaction. William Blair compared the median of the resulting
    stock price premiums for the reviewed transactions to the
    premiums implied by the merger based on 180 Connect&#146;s stock
    price one (1)&#160;day, one (1)&#160;week, four (4)&#160;weeks,
    sixty (60)&#160;days, and ninety (90)&#160;days prior to
    April&#160;16, 2008. Information regarding the premiums from

    <I>Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.</I>&#160;&#160;William Blair
    utilized the Forecasts to perform a discounted cash flow

    the period commencing on January&#160;1, 2008 and ending
    December&#160;31, 2012. Using discounted cash flow methodology,
    William Blair calculated the present values of the projected
    free cash flows for 180 Connect. In this analysis, William Blair
    assumed a transaction value at an exit multiple of 5.5x to 8.5x
    EBITDA in 2012. William Blair further assumed an annual discount
    rate ranging from eighteen percent (18.00%) to twenty two
    percent (22.00%). William Blair determined the appropriate
    discount range based upon an analysis of the weighted average
    cost of capital of 180 Connect and comparable public companies.
    William Blair aggregated (1)&#160;the present value of the free
    cash flows over the applicable forecast period with (2)&#160;the
    present value of the range of terminal values. The aggregate
    present value of these items represented the enterprise value

    In addition, William Blair performed a discounted cash flow
    analysis to calculate the present values of the projected free
    cash flows for 180 Connect using a discount rate that
    approximates inherent business risks associated with 180
    Connect. Such risk factors include (1)&#160;significant customer
    concentration, (2)&#160;likelihood in the future of entering
    competition with its largest customer, (3)&#160;inability to
    re-finance balance sheet without incurring significant
    stockholder dilution, and (4)&#160;financial risk of high levels
    of indebtedness. William Blair assumed a transaction value of

    consistent with the proposed debt capital structure that 180
    Connect might have in a leveraged acquisition; (2)&#160;a

    various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant
    methods of financial analysis and the application of those
    methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, such an
    opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or
    summary description. The preparation of an opinion regarding
    fairness does not involve a mathematical evaluation or weighing
    of the results of the individual analyses performed, but
    requires William Blair to exercise its professional judgment,
    based on its experience and expertise, in considering a wide
    variety of analyses taken as a whole. Each of the analyses
    conducted by William Blair was carried out in order to provide a
    different perspective on the financial terms of the proposed
    merger and add to the total mix of information available. The
    analyses were prepared solely for the purpose of William Blair
    providing its opinion and do not purport to be appraisals or
    necessarily reflect the prices at which securities actually may
    be sold. William Blair did not form a conclusion as to whether
    any individual analysis, considered in isolation, supported or
    failed to support an opinion about the fairness of the
    consideration to be paid by 180 Connect. Rather, in reaching its
    conclusion, William Blair considered the results of the analyses
    in light of each other and ultimately reached its opinion based
    on the results of all analyses taken as a whole and in
    consideration of the process undertaken by 180 Connect. William

    Accordingly, notwithstanding the separate factors summarized
    above, William Blair believes that its analyses must be

    directly comparable to 180 Connect or the merger. In performing
    its analyses, William Blair made numerous assumptions with

    Attention: General Counsel. A person having a beneficial
    interest in shares of the Company&#146;s common stock that are
    held of record in the name of another person, such as a broker,
    fiduciary, depositary or other nominee, must act promptly to
    cause the record holder to follow properly and in a timely
    manner the steps summarized herein and set forth in their
    entirety in Section&#160;262 of the DGCL to perfect appraisal
    rights. If the shares of Company common stock are owned of
    record by a person other than the beneficial owner, including a
    broker, fiduciary (such as a trustee, guardian or custodian),
    depositary or other nominee, such demand must be executed by or
    for the record owner. If the shares of Company common stock are
    owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy
    or tenancy in common, such demand must be executed by or for all
    joint owners. An authorized agent, including an agent for two or
    more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a
    stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the
    record owner and expressly disclose the fact that, in exercising
    the demand, he or she is acting as agent for the record owner.
    If a stockholder holds shares of Company common stock through a
    broker who in turn holds the shares through a central securities
    depository nominee, a demand for appraisal of such shares must
    be made by or on behalf of the depository nominee and must
    identify the depository nominee as record holder.

    A record holder, such as a broker, fiduciary, depositary or
    other nominee, who holds shares of Company common stock as a
    nominee for others, may exercise appraisal rights with respect
    to the shares held for all or less than all beneficial owners of
    shares as to which such person is the record owner. In such
    case, the written demand must set forth the number of shares
    covered by such demand. Where the number of shares is not
    expressly stated, the demand will be presumed to cover all
    shares of Company common stock outstanding in the name of such
    record holder.

    SEC prior to the date of the merger agreement, as well as by
    disclosure schedules we delivered to DirecTV prior to signing
    the merger agreement. The disclosure schedules have not been
    made public because, among other reasons, they include

    We currently have employment agreements in place with Peter
    Giacalone, Steven Westberg, and Mark Burel that contain change
    in control severance payments. These agreements generally
    provide, among other things, that if such person&#146;s
    employment is terminated (i)&#160;by the Company without cause
    (as defined in the agreement) or (ii)&#160;by the executive for
    good reason (as defined in the agreement), the executive shall
    be entitled to the following: (a)&#160;a multiple (the
    &#147;Multiple&#148;) of the sum of the executive&#146;s annual
    base salary; (b)&#160;continued health insurance benefits for a

    unpaid compensation that is earned through the effective date of
    the termination; and (d)&#160;any and all vested and earned but
    unpaid amounts payable pursuant to any applicable incentive or
    deferred compensation plans. The Multiple for Mr.&#160;Giacalone
    is two and for Messrs.&#160;Westberg and Burel is one and a
    half. Under Messrs.&#160;Westberg and Burel&#146;s employment
    agreement, if all or any portion of the benefits, distributions
    or payments would constitute an excess parachute payment within
    the meaning of Section&#160;280G of the Internal Revenue Code,

    Pursuant to the provisions of the employment agreements
    described above, consummation of the merger will not itself

    approximate amount that would be payable (based on current
    compensation and including amounts payable in respect of any

    Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding
    warrant to purchase shares of common stock, whether or not
    exercisable and vested at the effective time of the merger, will
    be cancelled and exchanged for the right to receive an amount in
    cash, less any applicable withholding taxes, equal to the
    product of (a)&#160;the total number of shares of Company common
    stock subject to such warrant immediately prior to its
    cancellation and (b)&#160;the excess, if any, of $1.80 over the
    price per share of common stock subject to such warrant.

    In November 2007, the board of directors of the Company approved
    the Company&#146;s Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors,
    referred to herein as the directors plan. Under the directors
    plan, each non-employee director of the Company (currently
    Messrs.&#160;Askowitz, Balter, Calo, Hallmen, Modry, Osing and
    Slasky) is eligible to receive (i)&#160;an initial grant of
    share units having a value equal to $50,000 (granted either on
    the effective date of the directors plan or, for those
    individuals who become eligible directors after such date, on
    the date such individual becomes a director) and (ii)&#160;with
    respect to calendar years beginning on and after January&#160;1,
    2008, an annual grant of share units having a value of $50,000.
    The 2008 annual grant was to be made in two installments, with
    each non-employee director having received share units with a
    value equal to $16,667 on January&#160;2, 2008 and the remaining
    units, with a value of $33,333, to be made on the date of the
    Company&#146;s 2008 annual meeting of stockholders (assuming the
    stockholders having approved the directors plan at such annual
    meeting). In March 2008, the directors plan was amended to
    provide that if a change in control of the Company occurred
    prior to the Company&#146;s 2008 annual meeting of stockholders,
    on the effective date of such change of control transaction,
    (x)&#160;all outstanding awards in respect of initial grants and
    the first installment of the 2008 annual grants would vest and
    be settled in cash, and (y)&#160;in lieu of receiving the second
    installment of the 2008 annual grant, each non-employee director
    would receive a cash payment equal to $33,333. The following
    table reflects the payments that will be

    for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such
    constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy

    notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder
    who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded
    appraisal of such holder&#146;s shares in accordance with this
    subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary
    or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to
    give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the

    the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such
    effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is
