Attn: Mark S. Robinow, Secretary

 

  Re: Notice to the Secretary of Intention to Nominate Persons for Election as Directors
       at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Kona Grill, Inc.

Dear Mr. Robinow:

Mill Road Capital, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Mill Road”), pursuant to Section 1.13 of Article I of the Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) of Kona Grill, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby notifies you that it intends to nominate three (3) persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, or any other meeting of stockholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof (the “Annual Meeting”).

This letter, including the Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes attached hereto, is collectively referred to as the “Notice.” The persons Mill Road intends to nominate for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting are Thomas E. Lynch, Craig S. Miller and Lawrence F. Harris (each a “Nominee” and collectively, the “Nominees”). Mill Road believes that the stockholders of the Company have fixed the number of directors at seven (7), with three (3) directors allocated to the class of directors with a term expiring in 2010, which class is scheduled for election at the Annual Meeting. This Notice, in addition to being the notice of nomination required under Section 1.13 of Article I of the Bylaws, can also be deemed to be a request that the Company name the Nominees in its proxy statement as nominees for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting.

To the extent that the Company might purport to increase the size of the Board and/or the number of directors allocated to the class of directors with a term expiring in 2010, Mill Road reserves the right to nominate additional nominees (each, an “Additional Nominee”) for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Any such additional nominations would be without


prejudice to the issue of whether such attempted action by the Company was valid under the circumstances. Additionally, if, due to death or disability, any Nominee or any Additional Nominee is unable to stand for election at the Annual Meeting, Mill Road reserves the right to nominate one or more alternate nominees, as applicable, in place of such Nominee or Additional Nominee(s) (each an “Alternate Nominee”). In either event, Mill Road will give prompt notice to the Company of its intent to nominate any Additional Nominees or Alternate Nominees at the Annual Meeting. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Nominee” as used in this Notice shall be deemed to include one or more Additional Nominees or Alternate Nominees, as applicable.

Pursuant to Section 1.13 of Article I of the Bylaws, the undersigned hereby sets forth the following:

 

  (a) The stockholder giving this Notice and intending to make the nominations set forth herein is Mill Road Capital, L.P.

 

  (b) The name and address of Mill Road Capital, L.P., as we believe they appear on the Company’s books, are:

MILL ROAD CAPITAL LP

A PARTNERSHIP

ATTN THOMAS E LYNCH

382 GREENWICH AVE-SUITE ONE

GREENWICH CT 06830

 

  (c) Mill Road Capital, L.P. is the beneficial owner of 899,330 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), 1,000 shares of which are held of record. Mill Road Capital, L.P.’s address is 382 Greenwich Avenue, Suite One, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830.

 

  (d) It is hereby represented that Mill Road Capital, L.P. is a stockholder of record of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting for the election of directors and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting to nominate the Nominees specified herein.

 

  (e) Reference is made to Schedule A attached hereto (without conceding that any such information is required to be disclosed in this Notice) with respect to information regarding transactions in securities of the Company by Mill Road Capital, L.P. during the past two years.

 

  (f) Reference is made to Schedule B attached hereto (without conceding that any such information is required to be disclosed in this Notice) with respect to certain entities that are or may be deemed to be members of a group with Mill Road (collectively, the “Mill Road Group”).

 

  (g)

Mill Road Capital, L.P. has entered into agreements with each of the Nominees other than Thomas E. Lynch, pursuant to which, among other things, such Nominees will be indemnified against certain potential liabilities that might arise

in connection with being named as a director nominee and related matters. Mill Road also intends to reimburse such Nominees for certain expenses incurred by such Nominees in the performance of their responsibilities as Nominees. Except for the agreements described above in this paragraph (g) and as otherwise set forth in this Notice, there is no arrangement or understanding between Mill Road Capital, L.P. and any Nominee or other person or persons pursuant to which the Nominees are to be nominated by Mill Road Capital, L.P.
