EXHIBIT 10.6.1
 
WAIVER AND GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT
 
This Waiver and General Release Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into this 30th day of December, 2008, by and among SinoHub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the investors signatory hereto (each an "Investor" and collectively, the "Investors").
 
RECITALS
 
1.           The Company and the Investors entered into that certain Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Agreement"), dated September 10, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to cause a Registration Statement (as defined therein) covering resale of the Investors’ registrable securities to become effective within 120 days of the Closing Date.
 
2.           The Company filed the Registration Statement within the time frame set forth in the Registration Agreement and is diligently working with the Securities and Exchange Commission to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective.  However, in the spirit of compromise and to avoid any additional expense that may be caused by claims arising out of any delay in the effective date of the registration statement, the parties have agreed to a 30-day extension of the effective date.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, agree as follows:
 
AGREEMENT
 
1.           Waiver.  Each Investor hereby waives all rights under the Registration Agreement that relate in any way to the Company’s failure to file the Registration Statement and have it declared effective in a timely manner, including but not limited to all rights to receive cash penalties or additional shares pursuant to Section 7(g) of the Registration Agreement and all rights under Section 2(a) of the Registration Agreement.
 
2.           General Release.  Each Investor, on behalf of their respective predecessors, successors, assignors and assignees, past and present, hereby fully releases and discharges the Company, its directors, officers, agents, representatives, attorneys and employees, past and present, and its predecessors, successors, assignors and assignees from all claims, actions and causes of action, of any kind or nature whatsoever, in law, equity, or otherwise, whether fixed or contingent, whether now known or unknown, whether suspected or unsuspected, which now exist, which existed before the date of this Agreement, or which may exist after the date of this Agreement, relating in any way to the provisions of the Registration Agreement which are referenced in Section 1 above.
 
3.           The Company agrees to continue to work toward getting the Registration Statement effective.  If the Registration Statement is not effective by February 20, 2009, the rights of the Investors waived in Section 1 of this Agreement will automatically be reinstated.
 
 
 

 
 
4.           With respect to this Agreement, the Investors waive and relinquish, to the fullest extent that the law permits, the provisions, rights, and benefits of California Civil Code (S) 1542 and other statutes or common law principles of similar effect.  Investors acknowledge that they have been advised of the provisions of California Civil Code (S) 1542, which provides as follows:
 
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
 
5.           The release set forth above does not release any claims for any breach of this Agreement or any claims that do not specifically pertain to the subjects of this Agreement.
 
6.           This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.  This Agreement supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings between the parties.  The parties may execute this Agreement in one or more counterparts, each of which constitutes an original, and all of which constitute one and the same Agreement.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the above date.
