                  Re: Initial Public Offering
                      -----------------------

Gentlemen:

                  The undersigned stockholder and director of InterAmerican
Acquisition Group Inc. ("Company"), in consideration of Rodman & Renshaw, LLC
("Rodman") entering into a letter of intent ("Letter of Intent") to underwrite
an initial public offering of the securities of the Company ("IPO") and
embarking on the IPO process, hereby agrees as follows (certain capitalized
terms used herein are defined in paragraph 12 hereof):

                  1. If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a
Business Combination, the undersigned will vote all Insider Shares owned by him
and all shares of Common Stock of the Company acquired by him in the IPO or
aftermarket in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of
the IPO Shares.

                  2. In the event that the Company fails to consummate a
Business Combination within 18 months from the effective date ("Effective Date")
of the registration statement relating to the IPO (or 24 months under the
circumstances described in the prospectus relating to the IPO), the undersigned
will vote all Insider Shares owned by it in favor of the Company's decision to
liquidate. The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or
claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Fund (as defined in the
Letter of Intent) and any remaining net assets of the Company as a result of
such liquidation with respect to its Insider Shares ("Claim") and hereby waives
any Claim the undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or arising out
of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse
against the Trust Fund for any reason whatsoever.



                  3. In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which
may arise from multiple affiliations, the undersigned agrees to present to the
Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other person or
entity, any suitable opportunity to acquire an operating business, until the
earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination, the
liquidation of the Company or until such time as the undersigned ceases to be a
director of the Company, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary and contractual
obligations the undersigned might have.

                  4. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company
will not consummate any Business Combination which involves a company which is
affiliated with any of the Insiders unless the Company obtains an opinion from
an independent investment banking firm reasonably acceptable to Rodman that the
business combination is fair to the Company's stockholders from a financial
perspective.

                  5. Neither the undersigned, any member of the family of the
undersigned, nor any affiliate ("Affiliate") of the undersigned will be entitled
to receive and will not accept any compensation for services rendered to the
Company prior to the consummation of the Business Combination except in
connection with bona fide services to be rendered to the Company that (i) are
expressly approved by a majority of the Company's disinterested directors and
copies of detailed invoices describing the services rendered are delivered to
the Company and the performance thereof is accurately documented by the
undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any Affiliate,
(ii) are legitimately required by the Company and the Company would otherwise
contract such services from a third party, and (iii) all fees and compensation
to be paid to the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, or
any Affiliate are determined on an arm's length basis and in good faith and such
fees and compensation are customarily charged by unrelated third party service
providers of a similar nature. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary,
the undersigned shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for its
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating a
Business Combination and commencing on the Effective Date, InterAmerican
Advisors, LLC ("Related Party"), shall be allowed to charge the Company $10,000
per month, representing an allocable share of Related Party's overhead, to
compensate it for the Company's use of Related Party's offices, utilities and
personnel.


                  6. Neither the undersigned, any member of the family of the
undersigned, nor any Affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive or
accept a finder's fee or any other compensation in the event the undersigned,
any member of the family of the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned
originates a Business Combination.

                  7. The undersigned will escrow its Insider Shares for the
three year period commencing on the Effective Date subject to the terms of a
Stock Escrow Agreement which the Company will enter into with the undersigned
and an escrow agent acceptable to the Company.

                  8. The undersigned agrees to be a member of the Company's
board of directors until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a
Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. The undersigned's
biographical information furnished to the Company and Rodman and attached
hereto as Exhibit A is true and accurate in all respects, does not omit any
material information with respect to the undersigned's background and contains
