    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), the undersigned will take all reasonable
      actions within his power to cause the Company to liquidate as soon as reasonably
      practicable. In such event, the undersigned hereby waives any and all right,
      title, interest or claim of any kind 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 (“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, and not to any other person or entity unless the opportunity
      is
      rejected by the Company, those opportunities to acquire an operating company
      the
      undersigned reasonably believes are suitable opportunity for the Company, 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 an
      officer or director of the Company, subject to any fiduciary obligations the
      undersigned might have.

      matters, its domestic trade book business as well as its licensing business.
      He

      books, Pete Rose’s My Prison Without Bars and a long list of other titles
      including software and video products with well-known brands such as Star Trek,
      JK Lasser, The Silver Palate, and Hugh Johnson. From 1998 through March
      2001, Mr. Jaffe served as the non-executive chairman of Vizacom, a Nasdaq-listed

      publisher, Bantam Doubleday Dell, as well as IBM and others. Earlier in his
      career, Mr. Jaffe served as executive vice-president of Franklin Electronic
      Publishers, Inc., an e-book publisher, and as president of the Software and
      Video Division of Simon & Schuster, then a Paramount company. Mr. Jaffe is a
