    Re:           Initial
      Public Offering

    

    Gentlemen:

    

    The
      undersigned stockholder, officer and/or director of Affinity International
      Corp.
      (“Company”), in consideration of Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) 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 11 hereof):

    

    1.           If
      the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination,
      the
      undersigned will vote (i) all Insider Shares owned by him in accordance with
      the
      majority of the votes cast by the holders of the IPO Shares and (ii) all of
      the
      shares that may be acquired by him in the Private Placement, the IPO or in
      the
      aftermarket for the Business Combination.

    

    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 action necessary to
      dissolve the Corporation and liquidate the Trust Account 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 the adoption of a resolution by the Company’s 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 cause to
      be
      prepared such notices as are required by Section 275(a) of the GCL as promptly
      thereafter as possible, and (ii) vote all Insider Shares and all of the shares
      that may be acquired by him in the Private Placement, the IPO or in the
      aftermarket 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 cause the Company’s Board of
      Directors to convene, adopt a plan of dissolution and distribution, which the
      undersigned will vote to recommend to stockholders, and promptly cause the
      Company to prepare and file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange
      Commission settling 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 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 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 (“Claim”) in or
      to any liquidating distributions by the Company, including, without limitation,
      any distribution of the Trust Fund (as defined in the Letter of Intent) as
      a
      result of such liquidation with respect to his Insider Shares and the Private
      Placement Shares 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.

      affiliations, the undersigned agrees to present to the Company for its
      consideration, and not to any other person or entity unless the opportunity
      is

      the
      undersigned reasonably believes are suitable opportunity for the Company, until
      the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination, the

      undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate any

      investment banking firm reasonably acceptable to Maxim 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
      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; provided that 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.

    

    6.           Neither
      the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, or 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.
