Dear Sirs:

1. Registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”), of the 5,000,000 Units* of New Asia Partners China I Corporation (“Company”), as more fully described in the Preliminary Prospectus, dated ______________, 2008, and in the final prospectus (“Prospectus”) which will be forwarded to you, will become effective in the near future. We, as the Underwriters, are offering certain of the Units for purchase by a selected group of dealers (“Selected Dealers”) on the terms and conditions stated herein.

2. Any of the Units purchased by you hereunder are to be offered by you to the public at the public offering price, except as herein otherwise provided and except that a reallowance from such public offering price not in excess of the amount set forth on the first page of this Agreement may be allowed as consideration for services rendered in distribution to dealers that (a) are actually engaged in the investment banking or securities business; (b) execute the written agreement prescribed by Rule 2740 of the FINRA Conduct Rules; and (c) are either members in good standing of the FINRA or foreign banks, dealers or institutions not eligible for membership in the FINRA that represent to you that they will promptly reoffer such Units at the public offering price and will abide by the conditions with respect to foreign banks, dealers and institutions set forth in paragraph 9 below.

3. You, by becoming a member of the Selected Dealers, agree (a) upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement and your receipt of the Prospectus, to take up and pay for the number of Units allotted and confirmed to you, (b) not to use any of the Units to reduce or cover any short position you may have and (c) to make available a copy of the Prospectus to all persons who on your behalf will solicit orders for the Units prior to the making of such solicitations by such persons. You are not authorized to give any information or to make any representations other than those contained in the Prospectus or any supplements or amendments thereto.

4. We may be authorized to over-allot in arranging sales to Selected Dealers, to purchase and sell Units, and to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Units. You agree to advise us at any time and from time to time upon our request, prior to the termination of this Agreement, of the number of Units purchased by you remaining unsold by you, and you will, upon our request at any such time, sell to us, for our account or the account of one or more of the Underwriters, such amount of such unsold Units as we may designate, at the public offering price thereof less an amount to be determined by us not in excess of the concession to dealers. In the event that prior to the later of (i) the termination of this Agreement or (ii) the covering by us of any short position created by us in connection with the offering of the Units, for our account or the account of one or more Underwriters, we purchase or contract to purchase for our account or the account of any of the Underwriters, in the open market or otherwise, any Units theretofore delivered to you, we reserve the right to withhold the above-mentioned concession to dealers on such Units if sold to you at the public offering price, or if such concession has been allowed to you through your purchase at a net price, you agree to repay such concession upon our demand, plus, in each case, any taxes on redelivery, commissions, original issue discount, accrued interest and dividends paid in connection with such purchase or contract to purchase.

5. As contemplated by Rule 15c2-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we agree to mail a copy of the Prospectus to any person making a written request therefor during the period referred to in the rules and regulations adopted under such Act, the mailing to be made to the address given in the request. You confirm that you have delivered all preliminary prospectuses and revised preliminary prospectuses, if any, required to be delivered under the provisions of Rule 15c2-8 and agree to deliver all copies of the Prospectus required to be delivered thereunder. We have heretofore delivered to you such preliminary prospectuses as have been required by you, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and will deliver such further prospectuses as may be requested by you. You agree to keep an accurate record of your distribution (including dates, number of copies and persons to whom sent) of copies of the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any thereof), and promptly upon request by us to bring all subsequent changes to the attention of anyone to whom such material shall have been furnished. You agree to furnish to persons who receive a confirmation of sale a copy of the Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) or Rule 424(c) under the Securities Act.

6. You agree that until termination of this Agreement you will not make purchases or sales of the Units except (a) pursuant to this Agreement, (b) pursuant to authorization received from us, or (c) in the ordinary course of business as broker or agent for a customer pursuant to any unsolicited order.

7. Additional copies of the Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto shall be supplied in reasonable quantity upon request.

8. The Units are offered by us for delivery when, as and if sold to, and accepted by, us and subject to the terms herein and in the Prospectus or any supplements or amendments thereto, to our right to vary the concessions and terms of offering after their release for public sale, to approval of counsel as to legal matters and to withdrawal, cancellation or modification of the offer without notice.

9. Upon written application to us, you shall be informed as to the jurisdictions under the securities or blue sky laws of which we believe the Units are eligible for sale, but we assume no responsibility as to such eligibility or the right of any member of the Selected Dealers to sell any of the Units in any jurisdiction. We have caused to be filed a Further State Notice relating to such of the Units to be offered to the public in New York in the form required by, and pursuant to, the provisions of Article 23A of the General Business Law of the State of New York. Upon the completion of the public offering contemplated herein, each member of the Selected Dealers agrees to promptly furnish to us, upon our request, territorial distribution reports setting forth each jurisdiction in which sales of the Units were made by such member, the number of Units sold in such jurisdiction, and any further information as we may request, in order to permit us to file on a timely basis any report that we as the Underwriters of the offering or manager of the Selected Dealers may be required to file pursuant to the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction.

10. You, by becoming a member of the Selected Dealers, represent that you are actually engaged in the investment banking or securities business and that you are (a) a member in good standing of the FINRA and will comply with all applicable rules of the FINRA, including but not limited to FINRA Conduct Rule 2740, or (b) a foreign dealer or institution that is not eligible for membership in the FINRA and that has agreed (i) not to sell Units within the United States of America, its territories or possessions or to persons who are citizens thereof or residents therein; (ii) that any and all sales shall be in compliance with Rule 2790 of the FINRA’s Conduct Rules; (iii) to comply, as though it were a member of the FINRA, with Rules 2730, 2740 and 2750 of the FINRA’s Conduct Rules, and to comply with Rule 2420 thereof as that Rule applies to a non-member broker or dealer in a foreign country. You represent that neither you nor any of your directors, officers, partners, or persons associated with you (as defined in the By-Laws of the FINRA) nor, to your knowledge, any "related person" (as defined by the FINRA in its Interpretation Relating to Review of Corporate Financing, which term includes counsel, financial consultants and advisors, finders, members of the selling or distribution groups, and any other persons associated with or related to any of the foregoing) or any other broker-dealer has had, within the last twelve months, any dealings with the Company or any controlling shareholders thereof (other than relating to this Agreement) as to which documents or information are required to be filed with the FINRA pursuant to its Interpretation Relating to Review of Corporate Financing.

11. You are not authorized to act as agent for any Underwriter or the Company in offering the Units to the public otherwise. Neither we not any Underwriter shall be under any obligation to you except as specifically set forth herein. Nothing herein shall constitute any members of the Selected Dealers partners with us or with each other, but you agree, notwithstanding any prior settlement of accounts or termination of this Agreement, to bear your proper proportion of any tax or other liability based upon the claim that the Selected Dealers constitute a partnership, association, unincorporated business or other separate entity and a like share of any expenses of resisting any such claim.

12. Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. shall be the Managing Underwriter of the offering and manager of the Selected Dealers and shall have full authority to take such action as we may deem advisable in respect of all matters pertaining to the offering or the Selected Dealers or any members of them. Except as expressly stated herein, or as may arise under the Act, we shall be under no liability to any member of the Selected Dealers as such for, or in respect of (i) the validity or value of the Units (ii) the form of, or the statements contained in, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement of which the Prospectus forms a part, any supplements or amendments to the Prospectus or such Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any instruments executed by, or obtained or any supplemental sales data or other letters from, the Company, or others, (iii) the form or validity of the Underwriting Agreement or this Agreement, (iv) the eligibility of any of the Units for sale under the laws of any jurisdiction, (v) the delivery of the Units, (vi) the performance by the Company, or others of any agreement on its or their part, or (vii) any matter in connection with any of the foregoing, except our own want of good faith.

13. If for federal income tax purposes the Selected Dealers, among themselves or with the Underwriters, should be deemed to constitute a partnership, then we elect to be excluded from the application of Subchapter K, Chapter 1, Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and we agree not to take any position inconsistent with such selection. We authorize you, in your discretion, to execute and file on our behalf such evidence of such election as may be required by the Internal Revenue Service.

14. All communications from you shall be addressed to Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. at 153 East 53^rd Street, 49^th Floor, New York, New York 10022, Attention: Peter H. Blum. Any notice from us to you shall be deemed to have been fully authorized by the Underwriters and to have been duly given if mailed, telegraphed or sent by confirmed facsimile transmittal to you at the address to which this letter is mailed. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflict of laws. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.
