Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The number of remaining shares was reduced by five (5) from the original issue to the reporting person due to rounding on the conversion of LANDesk shares to Avocent shares at the acquisition.
(2) Assumption date, original grant date was October 1, 2004. 132 options vested on September 1, 2006 and 131 options vested on October 1, 2006.
(3) This date is approximate. The Put Option is exercisable by the reporting person commencing on the date on which Avocent pays the contingent cash consideration (the "earn out") in connection with its acquisition of LANDesk Group Limited to former LANDEsk Shareholders or, if there is no earn out, on certain other dates.
(4) This date is approximate. The Put Option expires ten (10) days after it becomes exercisable. See Footnote 3.
(5) The reporting person sold shares covered by this Put Option Agreement reducing Avocent's potential obligation to purchase shares.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
