To the knowledge of the Nominating Stockholder, the Board consists of six directors and only six directors will be nominated for election at the 2009 Meeting. If, for any reason, more than six directors will be nominated for election at the 2009 Meeting, the Nominating Stockholder reserves the right to nominate additional persons to be so elected (each such additional nominee, an “Additional Nominee”). If a Nominee or Additional Nominee is unable to stand for election at the 2009 Meeting for any reason, the Nominating Stockholder intends to nominate a substitute nominee to stand for election at the 2009 Meeting. The Nominating Stockholder will provide notice to Cavalier as soon as practicable after identifying such substitute nominee or Additional Nominee.

Attached as Annex A hereto, and by this reference incorporated in this Notice, is information relating to each of the Nominees required by the By-laws. All of the Annexes to this Notice are incorporated into and made a part of this Notice. Accordingly, all matters disclosed in any part of this Notice, including the Annexes and under any heading therein, shall be deemed disclosed for all purposes of this Notice. Certain capitalized terms used in the Annexes and not defined therein are defined in this Notice.

Please be advised that, notwithstanding our compliance with the requirements relating to the provision of notice relating to the nomination of director candidates by stockholders of Cavalier in the By-laws (the “By-laws Requirements”), neither the delivery of this notice in accordance with the terms of the By-laws Requirements nor the delivery of any additional information, if any, provided by us from and after the date hereof shall be deemed to constitute an admission by the Nominating Stockholder of the legality or enforceability of the By-laws Requirements or a waiver by the Nominating Stockholder of his right to, in any way, contest or challenge the enforceability thereof.

The Nominees have each consented to stand for election, to being named in the proxy statement to be filed by the Nominating Stockholder or any of his affiliates with the Commission and to stand as director if elected. Such consents are attached hereto as Annexes B, C and D, which annexes are incorporated herein by reference.

It is our belief that we have complied with all of the requirements to provide notice to Cavalier of the intent to nominate directors for the 2009 Meeting. Please advise us promptly if you believe there are any deficiencies in this Notice.
