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

                  The undersigned stockholder of InterAmerican Acquisition Group
Inc. ("Company"), in consideration of Chardan Capital Markets, LLC ("Chardan")
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 10 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 (such later date
being referred to herein as the "Termination Date"), the undersigned shall (i)
take all such action reasonably within his power as is necessary to (a) dissolve
the Company and liquidate the Trust Fund to holders of IPO Shares as soon as
reasonably practicable, and after approval of the Company's stockholders and
subject to the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "GCL"),
including voting for the adoption of a resolution by the board of directors,
prior to such Termination Date, pursuant to Section 275(a) of the GCL, which
shall deem the dissolution of the Company advisable and (b) cause to be prepared
such notices as are required by said Section 275(a) of the GCL as promptly
thereafter as possible, and (ii) vote his shares in favor of any plan of
dissolution and distribution recommended by the Company's board of directors. If
the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by the Termination Date,
the undersigned hereby agrees, with respect to any plan of dissolution and
distribution, to take all such action reasonably within his power to








(x) cause the board of directors to convene, adopt a plan of dissolution and
distribution, which the undersigned will vote to recommend to stockholders, and
(y) on such date cause the Company to prepare and file a proxy statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") setting out the plan of
dissolution and distribution. If the Company seeks approval from its
stockholders to consummate a Business Combination within 90 days of the
expiration of 24 months from the Effective Date, the undersigned agrees to take
all such action reasonably within his power to ensure that the proxy statement
related to such Business Combination will also seek stockholder approval for the
plan of dissolution and distribution in the event the stockholders do not
approve the Business Combination. If no proxy statement seeking the approval of
the stockholders for a Business Combination has been filed within 30 days prior
to the date which is 24 months from the date of the IPO, the undersigned agrees,
prior to such date to take all such action reasonably within his power as is
necessary to convene and adopt a plan of dissolution and distribution and on
such date file a proxy statement with the SEC seeking stockholder approval for
such plan. 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 his 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. 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.

                  4. 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. Notwithstanding
the foregoing to the contrary, the undersigned shall be entitled to
reimbursement from the Company for his out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with seeking and consummating a Business Combination.

                  5. 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.

                  6. The undersigned will escrow his Insider Shares for the two
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.


                  7. The undersigned's Questionnaire furnished to the Company
and Chardan and annexed as Exhibit B hereto is true and accurate in all
respects. The undersigned represents and warrants that:

            (a) he is not subject to or a respondent in any legal action for,
any injunction, cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or
refrain from any act or practice relating to the offering of securities in any
jurisdiction;

            (b) he has never been convicted of or pleaded guilty to any crime
(i) involving any fraud or (ii) relating to any financial transaction or
handling of funds of another person, or (iii) pertaining to any dealings in any
securities and he is not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding;
and

            (c) he has never been suspended or expelled from membership in any
securities or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or
commodities license or registration denied, suspended or revoked.

                  8. The undersigned authorizes any employer, financial
institution, or consumer credit reporting agency to release to Chardan and its
legal representatives or agents (including any investigative search firm
retained by Chardan) any information they may have about the undersigned's
background and finances ("Information"). Neither Chardan nor its agents shall be
violating the undersigned's right of privacy in any manner in requesting and
obtaining the Information and the undersigned hereby releases them from
liability for any damage whatsoever in that connection.

                  9. This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without
giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the
application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The undersigned
hereby (i) agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against him arising out
of or relating in any way to this letter agreement (a "Proceeding") shall be
brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York of the United States
of America for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to
such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive, (ii) waives any
objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an
inconvenient forum and (iii) irrevocably agrees to appoint Kramer Levin Naftalis

receive, for the undersigned and on his behalf, service of process in any
Proceeding. If for any reason such agent is unable to act as such, the
undersigned will promptly notify the Company and Chardan and appoint a
substitute agent acceptable to each of the Company and Chardan within 30 days
and




nothing in this letter will affect the right of either party to serve process in
any other manner permitted by law.

                  10. As used herein, (i) a "Business Combination" shall mean an
acquisition by merger, capital stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition,
reorganization or otherwise, of an operating business; (ii) "Insiders" shall
mean all officers, directors and stockholders of the Company immediately prior
to the IPO; (iii) "Insider Shares" shall mean all of the shares of Common Stock
of the Company owned by an Insider prior to the IPO; (iv) "IPO Shares" shall
mean the shares of Common Stock issued in the Company's IPO; and (v) "Trust
Fund" shall mean the trust account established by the Company at the
consummation of its IPO and into which a certain amount of the net proceeds of
the IPO is deposited.
