                 AMENDMENT TO OPTION AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE STOCK

         THIS AMENDMENT TO OPTION AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE STOCK (the "Amendment")
is made and entered into as of July 18, 2002 by and between Mobility

Products Corporation d/b/a/ Avocent-Huntsville, an Alabama corporation
("Purchaser"):

                                   WITNESSETH

         WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser are parties to that certain Option
Agreement to Purchase Stock, dated as of March 1, 2002 (the "Agreement")
regarding the grant by Seller to Purchaser of an option to purchase all of the
shares of the Series A preferred stock that Seller owns of 2C Computing, Inc.
("2C"); and

         WHEREAS, the Agreement was scheduled to expire on or about July 18,
2002; and

         WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser desire to amend the Agreement to among
other things extend the term of the Option and provide for a method of closing
the purchase if Purchaser exercises the Option;

         WHEREAS, Avocent Corporation ("Avocent") and Purchaser are negotiating
with 2C for the possible acquisition of 2C by Avocent or Purchaser pursuant to a
merger (the "Merger"), whereby 2C would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Avocent or Purchaser;

         WHEREAS, Purchaser anticipates that the consummation of the Merger (the
"Closing") would be conditioned upon, among other things, the approval of the 2C
shareholders (the "Shareholder Approval") at a duly called meeting of the 2C
Shareholders (the "Shareholders Meeting");

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and promises contained
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

         1. Section 1.3 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety, and
in lieu thereof shall be inserted the following:

                  "SECTION 1.3 TERM OF OPTION; EXTENSION; TERMINATION. In
         consideration of the prior payments to Seller of $175,000 by Purchaser
         under the Agreement, the receipt of which Seller hereby acknowledges by

         "Option Term") shall expire on the earlier of: (i) the close of
         business on September 30, 2002; or (ii) the close of business on the
         first business day after the conclusion of the Shareholders Meeting.

<PAGE>

         2. Section 1.4 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety, and
in lieu thereof shall be inserted the following:

                  "SECTION 1.4 CONDITIONAL EXERCISE OF OPTION. Purchaser may
         exercise the Option, subject to satisfaction of the Shareholder
         Approval (if applicable) or the Closing, whichever first occurs, at any
         time during the Option Term by delivering to Seller in writing a notice
         of conditional exercise (the "Conditional Notice"). Upon receipt of the
         Conditional Notice, the Seller shall deliver promptly to counsel for
         Purchaser the original certificate or certificates for the Stock,
         accompanied by duly executed but undated stock powers transferring
         title to the Stock to Purchaser, free and clear of all liens and
         encumbrances. Counsel for Purchaser shall hold the Stock in escrow
         subject to the provisions of this Section 1.4. If Purchaser delivers
         the Conditional Notice to Seller and if either the Shareholder Approval
         is received or the Closing occurs on or before September 30, 2002,
         Purchaser shall immediately upon the occurrence of such event cause to
         be wired to an account designated by Seller $1,669,767, as the purchase
         price for the Stock. Counsel for Purchaser shall release the Stock from
         escrow for delivery to Purchaser upon receipt from Seller or Seller's
         counsel of confirmation that the purchase price has been received by
         Seller. If the Conditional Notice is so delivered, and if neither the
         Shareholder Approval nor the Closing occur on or before September 30,
         2002, for any reason, Purchaser shall before the earlier of the close
         of business on the first business day after the conclusion of the
         Shareholder Meeting or September 30, 2002, either (i) waive such
         applicable condition and deliver to Seller written confirmation of such
         waiver and cause to be wired on the date of such waiver to an account
         designated by Seller the sum of $1,282,000, or (ii) instruct counsel
         for Purchaser to release the Stock from escrow and redeliver the Stock
         to Seller. If Purchaser waives the applicable condition and wires the
         purchase price to Seller, counsel for Purchaser shall release the Stock
         from escrow for delivery to Purchaser upon receipt from Seller or
         Seller's counsel of confirmation that the purchase price has been
         received by Seller.

         3. Section 1.5 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety, and
in lieu thereof shall be inserted the following:

                  "SECTION 1.5 UNCONDITIONAL EXERCISE OF OPTION. Purchaser may
         exercise the Option at any time during the Option Term by delivering to
         Seller in writing a notice of unconditional exercise (the
         "Unconditional Notice"). Upon receipt of the Unconditional Notice, the
         Seller and Purchaser shall conduct a closing within seven (7) days
         following the date of the Unconditional Notice (the "Unconditional
         Closing"), at which Unconditional Closing Purchaser shall deliver to
         Seller by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller, the sum of
         $1,282,000, as the purchase price for the Stock, and Seller shall
         deliver the Stock to Purchaser; provided, however, that if subsequent
         to the Unconditional Closing, Shareholder Approval is obtained or the
         Closing occurs, Purchaser shall on the date of the earlier of the date
         of the Shareholder Approval or the Closing wire to an account
         designated by Seller an additional amount equal to $387,767."

                                       2

         4. Immediately following Section 1.5, there shall be added new Section
1.6 as follows:

                  "SECTION 1.6 PROXY. If Seller receives a Conditional Notice or
         Unconditional Notice during the Option Term, Seller shall promptly
         grant, execute, and deliver to Purchaser a proxy in the form attached
         hereto as Exhibit A."

         5. Immediately following Section 5.5, there shall be added new Section
5.6 as follows:

                  "SECTION 5.5 CONFIDENTIALITY. Except as required by applicable
         law (including, without limitation, applicable Federal securities
         laws), this Amendment, the Agreement, and the transaction contemplated
         herein and therein are confidential, and Seller shall not make any
         public statement, provide any information, or issue any press release
         with respect thereto or disclose the existence or terms of the
         Agreement or the Amendment without the express written consent of
         Purchaser."

         6. Upon execution of this Amendment by the parties hereto, Purchaser
shall immediately deliver $25,000 to Seller by wire transfer to an account
designated by Seller as payment of the Outstanding Amount.

         7. All capitalized terms used herein not otherwise defined shall have
the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.

         8. In all other respects the Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.

         9. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same Amendment.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of Seller and Purchaser has caused this
Amendment to be executed and delivered to the other party hereto, all as of the
date first above written.
