Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment, on a PRO
RATA basis to the extent necessary, an aggregate principal amount equal to the

such Holder, equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of such
Holder's Notes surrendered. Any Note not accepted in the Asset Sale Offer shall

results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.

event of a Change of Control in accordance with provisions
similar to the covenant set forth in Section 4.18 of the
Indenture, provided that prior to or contemporaneously with
such repurchase the Company has made the Change of Control
Offer as provided in such covenant with respect to the Notes
and has repurchased all Notes validly tendered for payment
in connection with such Change of Control Offer; and
(6) additional payments to current or former employees or
directors of the Company for repurchases of stock, stock
options or other equity interests, provided that the
aggregate amount of all such payments under this clause (6)
does not exceed $0.5 million in any year and $2.0 million in
the aggregate.
The Restricted Payments described in clauses (2), (3), (5) and
(6) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall be Restricted Payments that
shall be permitted to be taken in accordance with such paragraph but shall
reduce the amount that would otherwise be available for Restricted Payments
under clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section, and the Restricted
Payments described in clauses (1) and (4) of the immediately preceding paragraph
shall be Restricted Payments that shall be permitted to be taken in accordance
with such paragraph and shall not reduce the amount that would otherwise be
available for Restricted Payments under clause (iii) of the first paragraph of
this Section.
If an Investment results in the making of a Restricted Payment,
the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments deemed to have been made as
calculated under the foregoing provision shall be reduced by the amount of any
net reduction in such Investment (resulting from the payment of interest or
dividends, loan repayment, transfer of assets or otherwise) to the extent such
net reduction is not included in the Company's EBITDA; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the total amount by which the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments may be
reduced may not exceed the lesser of (a) the cash proceeds received by the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such net reduction
and (b) the initial amount of such Investment.
If the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments calculated
under the foregoing provision includes an Investment in an Unrestricted
Subsidiary or other Person that thereafter becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, such
Investment will no longer be counted as a Restricted Payment for purposes of
calculating the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments. For the purpose of
making any calculations under the Indenture:
23
<Page>
(1) an Investment shall include the fair market value of the net
assets of any Restricted Subsidiary at the time that such
Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted
Subsidiary and shall exclude the fair market value of the
net assets of any Unrestricted Subsidiary that is designated
as a Restricted Subsidiary;
(2) any property transferred to or from an Unrestricted
Subsidiary shall be valued at fair market value at the time
of such transfer, provided that, in each case, the fair
market value of an asset or property is as determined by the
Board of Directors in good faith; and
(3) subject to the foregoing, the amount of any Restricted
Payment, if other than cash, shall be determined by the
Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be
conclusive.
The Board of Directors may designate a Restricted Subsidiary to
be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the Section 4.15 of the
Indenture. Upon such designation, all outstanding Investments by the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid in cash) in the
Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments made at the
time of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted
Payments under the first paragraph of this covenant. Such designation will only
be permitted if such Restricted Payment would be permitted at such time and if
such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary.
(b) INCURRENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS AND ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK.
Section 4.9. INCURRENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS AND ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED
STOCK. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guaranty
or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable with respect to (collectively,
"INCUR") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and the Company shall not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred
stock; provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness and may permit
a Restricted Subsidiary to incur Indebtedness if at the time of such incurrence
and after giving effect thereto the Leverage Ratio would be less than 6.5 to
1.0.
The foregoing limitations shall not apply to:
(1) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
of Senior Bank Debt in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$100.0 million at any one time outstanding;
(2) the issuance by the Restricted Subsidiaries of Subsidiary
Guarantees;
(3) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;
(4) the issuance by the Company of the Notes;
(5) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries of Capital Lease Obligations and/or additional
Indebtedness constituting purchase money obligations up to
an aggregate of $5.0 million at any one time outstanding,
provided that the Liens securing such Indebtedness
constitute Permitted Liens;
24
<Page>
(6) the incurrence of Indebtedness between (i) the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries and (ii) the Restricted
Subsidiaries;
(7) Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose of
fixing or hedging interest rate risk with respect to any
floating rate Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of
the Indenture to be outstanding;
(8) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising out of letters of
credit, performance bonds, surety bonds and bankers'
acceptances incurred in the ordinary course of business up
to an aggregate of $5.0 million at any one time outstanding;
(9) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries of Indebtedness consisting of guarantees,
indemnities or obligations in respect of purchase price
adjustments in connection with the acquisition or
disposition of assets, including, without limitation, shares
of Capital Stock; and
(10) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries of Refinancing Indebtedness issued in exchange
for, or the proceeds of which are used to repay, redeem,
defease, extend, refinance, renew, replace or refund,
Indebtedness referred to in clauses (2) through (5) above,
and this clause (10) or that was otherwise permitted to be
incurred pursuant to the test set forth in the first
paragraph of this Section 4.9.
(c) LIENS.
Section 4.10. LIENS. Neither the Company nor any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries may directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) upon any property or
assets now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income, profits or proceeds
therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income therefrom,
unless (a) in the case of any Lien securing any Indebtedness that is subordinate
to the Notes, the Notes are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or
proceeds that is senior in priority to such Lien and (b) in the case of any
other Lien, the Notes are equally and ratably secured with the obligation or
liability secured by such Lien.
(d) DIVIDEND AND OTHER PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING RESTRICTED
SUBSIDIARIES.
Section 4.11. DIVIDEND AND OTHER PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING
RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or
suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the
ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:
(1) (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (A) on its
Capital Stock or (B) with respect to any other interest or
participation in, or measured by, its profits, or (ii) pay
any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries;
(2) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries; or

any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.
25
<Page>
However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to
encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:
(1) Existing Indebtedness;
(2) the Credit Agreement as in effect as of the date of the
Indenture, and any amendments, modifications, restatements,
renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements
or refinancing thereof, provided that such amendments,
modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no
more restrictive in the aggregate with respect to such
dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained
in the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date of the
Indenture;
(3) the Indenture and the Notes;
(4) applicable law;
(5) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a
Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition
(except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in
connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition),
which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any
Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other
than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so
acquired, provided that the EBITDA of such Person is not
taken into account in determining whether such acquisition
was permitted by the terms of the Indenture;
(6) customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into
in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past
practices;
(7) restrictions on the transfer of property subject to purchase
money obligations or Capital Lease Obligations otherwise
permitted by clause (5) of Section 4.9 of the Indenture;
(8) permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the
restrictions contained in the agreements governing such
Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive in the
aggregate than those contained in the agreements governing
the Indebtedness being refinanced; or
(9) any agreement or instrument governing Indebtedness of an
Excluded Restricted Subsidiary provided that (i) at the time
such agreement or instrument is entered into, such Excluded
Restricted Subsidiary and its Restricted Subsidiaries have a
Leverage Ratio of less than 6.5 to 1.0 and (ii) neither such
Excluded Restricted Subsidiary nor any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, incur any
Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) unless at the time of
such incurrence and after giving effect thereto, the
Leverage Ratio for such Excluded Restricted Subsidiary and
its Restricted Subsidiaries would be less than 6.5 to 1.0.
For purposes of determining the Leverage Ratio under this
clause (9) only, all references to the "Company" and its
"Restricted Subsidiaries" or similar references in the
definition of "Leverage Ratio" and other defined terms
26
<Page>
necessary to determine the Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to
refer to such Excluded Restricted Subsidiary and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, respectively.
(e) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
Section 4.12. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. The Company shall
not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, sell, lease,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase
any property or assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement,
understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any
Affiliate (each of the foregoing, an "AFFILIATE TRANSACTION"), unless:
(a) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less
favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted
Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a
comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary with a non-Affiliated Person and
(b) the Company delivers to the Trustee:
(i) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving
aggregate payments in excess of $5.0 million, a
resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an
Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate
Transaction complies with clause (a) above and such
Affiliate Transaction is approved by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors and
(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving
aggregate payments in excess of $10.0 million, an
opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view
issued by an investment banking firm of national
standing.
The following items shall not be deemed Affiliate Transactions
and therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:
(1) any employment agreement entered into by the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of
business and consistent with the past practice of the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary;
(2) transactions between or among the Company and/or its
Restricted Subsidiaries;
(3) transactions permitted by the provisions of Section 4.8 of
the Indenture; and
(4) the grant of stock, stock options or other equity interests
to employees and directors of the Company and any Restricted
Subsidiary in accordance with duly adopted Company stock
grant, stock option and similar plans.
The provisions set forth in clause (b) above shall not apply to sales
of inventory by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to any Affiliate in the
ordinary course of business. The provisions of clause (b) (ii) above shall not
apply to loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from, or
equity investments in the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary by, any Affiliate
to the extent permitted by the provisions of Section 4.9 of the Indenture.
27
<Page>
(f) CERTAIN SENIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT.
Section 4.13. CERTAIN SENIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT. The Company shall
not incur any Indebtedness that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to
any Senior Debt of the Company and senior in any respect in right of payment to
the Notes. The Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to incur any
Indebtedness that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to its Senior
Debt and senior in any respect in right of payment to its Subsidiary Guarantee.
(g) ADDITIONAL SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES.
Section 4.14. ADDITIONAL SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES. If any entity
(other than an Excluded Restricted Subsidiary) shall become a Restricted
Subsidiary after the date of the First Supplemental Indenture, then such
Restricted Subsidiary shall execute a supplemental indenture in the form of
Exhibit B attached hereto, pursuant to which it shall provide a Subsidiary
Guarantee and deliver an Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto, in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture.
No Restricted Subsidiary (including any Excluded Restricted
Subsidiary) shall consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such
Restricted Subsidiary is the surviving Person), another Person (other than the
Company) whether or not affiliated with such Restricted Subsidiary unless:
(1) subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the
Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or
merger (if other than such Restricted Subsidiary) assumes
all the obligations of such Restricted Subsidiary under its
Subsidiary Guarantee (except in the case of an Excluded
Restricted Subsidiary) pursuant to a supplemental indenture
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee;
(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no
Default or Event of Default exists; and
(3) such Restricted Subsidiary, or any Person formed by or
surviving any such consolidation or merger, would be
permitted to incur, immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness
pursuant to the test set forth in the first paragraph of
Section 4.9 of the Indenture.
In the event of:
(1) a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of any
Restricted Subsidiary, by way of merger, consolidation or
otherwise;
(2) a sale or other disposition of all of the capital stock of
any Restricted Subsidiary; or
(3) the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of
Section 4.15 of the Indenture,
then such Restricted Subsidiary (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by
way of such a merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of
such Restricted Subsidiary or in the event of the designation of such Restricted
Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or the Person acquiring the property
(in the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of such
Restricted Subsidiary) will
28
<Page>
be released and relieved of any obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee,
provided that the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in
accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 4.17 of the Indenture.
(h) DESIGNATION OF UNRESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES.
Section 4.15. DESIGNATION OF UNRESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES. The Board
of Directors may designate any Subsidiary (including any Restricted Subsidiary
or any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary) to be an Unrestricted
Subsidiary so long as:
(1) neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary is
directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of such
Subsidiary;
(2) no default with respect to any Indebtedness of such
Subsidiary would permit (upon notice, lapse of time or
otherwise) any holder of any other Indebtedness of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to declare a default on
such other Indebtedness or cause the payment thereof to be
accelerated or payable prior to its stated maturity;
(3) any Investment in such Subsidiary deemed to be made as a
result of designating such Subsidiary an Unrestricted
Subsidiary will not violate the provisions of Section 4.8 of
the Indenture;
(4) neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has a
contract, agreement, arrangement, understanding or
obligation of any kind, whether written or oral, with such
Subsidiary other than (A) those that might be obtained at
the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company
or (B) administrative, tax sharing and other ordinary course
contracts, agreements, arrangements and understandings or
obligations entered into in the ordinary course of business;
and
(5) neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any
obligation to subscribe for additional shares of Capital
Stock or other Equity Interests in such Subsidiary, or to
maintain or preserve such Subsidiary's financial condition
or to cause such Subsidiary to achieve certain levels of
operating results other than as permitted under Section 4.8
of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not designate as
an Unrestricted Subsidiary any Subsidiary which, on the 1999 Indenture Date, was
a Significant Subsidiary, and may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any
properties or assets of any such Significant Subsidiary to an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, other than in the ordinary course of business, in each case other
than Iron Mountain Global, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (including without
limitation Iron Mountain Europe Limited and its Subsidiaries).
The Board of Directors may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary
as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be
an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding
Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation will only be
permitted if:
(1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.9 of the
Indenture and
29
<Page>
(2) no Default or Event of Default would occur as a result of
such designation.
(i) LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS.
Section 4.16. LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS. The
Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into
any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless:
(1) the consideration received in such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction is at least equal to the fair market value of
the property sold, as determined by a resolution of the
Board of Directors; and
(2) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could incur the
Attributable Indebtedness in respect of such Sale and
Leaseback Transaction in compliance with Section 4.9 of the
Indenture.
(j) ASSET SALES.
Section 4.17. ASSET SALES. The Company shall not, and shall not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to:
(1) sell, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of any assets
(including by way of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction, but
excluding a Qualifying Sale and Leaseback Transaction) other
than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business
(provided that the sale, lease, conveyance or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company will be governed by the provisions of Section 4.18
of the Indenture and/or the provisions of Section 5.1 of the
Indenture and not by the provisions of this Section 4.17);
or
(2) issue or sell Equity Interests of any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries
that in the case of either clause (1) or (2) above, whether in a single
transaction or a series of related transactions:
(i) have a fair market value in excess of $2.0 million; or
(ii) result in Net Proceeds in excess of $2.0 million (each of
the foregoing, an "ASSET SALE"), unless (x) the Company (or
the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives
consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal
to the fair market value (evidenced by an Officers'
Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and for Asset Sales
having a fair market value or resulting in Net Proceeds in
excess of $10.0 million, evidenced by a resolution of the
Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate
delivered to the Trustee) of the assets sold or otherwise
disposed of and (y) at least 75% of the consideration
therefor received by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary is in the form of cash or like-kind assets (in
each case as determined in good faith by the Company,
evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors and
certified by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the
Trustee);
provided, however, that the amount of:
30
<Page>
(A) any liabilities (as shown on the Company's or such
Restricted Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet or in the
notes thereto) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
(other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated
to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed
by the transferee of any such assets; and
(B) any notes or other obligations received by the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are
immediately converted by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) or
Cash Equivalents,
shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision; and provided,
further, that the 75% limitation referred to in the foregoing clause (ii) (y)
shall not apply to any Asset Sale in which the cash portion of the consideration
received therefrom is equal to or greater than what the after-tax proceeds would
have been had such Asset Sale complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation.
A transfer of assets or issuance of Equity Interests by the
Company to a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or by a Wholly Owned Restricted
Subsidiary to the Company or to another Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary will
not be deemed to be an Asset Sale.
Within 360 days of any Asset Sale, the Company may, at its
option, apply an amount equal to the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale either:
(1) to permanently reduce Senior Debt; or
(2) to an investment in a Restricted Subsidiary or in another
business or capital expenditure or other long-term/tangible
assets, in each case, in the same line of business as the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries was engaged in
on the date of the First Supplemental Indenture or in
businesses similar or reasonably related thereto.
Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the
Company may temporarily reduce Senior Bank Debt or otherwise invest such Net
Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture. Any Net Proceeds
from such Asset Sale that are not applied or invested as provided in the first
sentence of this paragraph will be deemed to constitute "EXCESS PROCEEDS." When
the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Company shall
make an offer to all Holders of the Notes, all holders of the 9 1/8% Notes,
the 8 1/4% Notes, the 8 1/8% Notes, the 8 3/4% Notes and the 8 5/8%
Notes and the holders of any future Indebtedness ranking PARI PASSU with the
Notes, which Indebtedness contains similar provisions requiring the Company to
repurchase such Indebtedness (an "ASSET SALE OFFER"), to purchase the maximum
principal amount of Notes and such other Indebtedness that may be purchased out
of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of
the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.
To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and other PARI PASSU
Indebtedness (including the 9 1/8% Notes, the 8 1/4% Notes, the 8 1/8%
Notes, the 8 3/4% Notes and the 8 5/8% Notes) tendered pursuant to an Asset
Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining
Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal
amount of Notes and such other Indebtedness surrendered by Holders thereof
exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and
such other Indebtedness to be
31
<Page>
purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the
amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1
under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder
to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each
repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of
this Section 4.17, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws
and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under
the Asset Sale provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such conflict.
An Asset Sale Offer shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Section 3.9 hereof. No later than the date which is five Business Days after the
date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the
Company shall notify the Trustee of such Asset Sale Offer and provide the
Trustee with an Officers' Certificate setting forth the calculations used in
determining the amount of Net Proceeds to be applied to the purchase of Notes.
The Company shall commence or cause to be commenced the Asset Sale Offer on a
date no later than 15 Business Days after such notice (the "COMMENCEMENT DATE").
(k) CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER.
Section 4.18. CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER.
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of
Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part
(equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes
pursuant to the offer described below (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER") at an
offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of repurchase (the "CHANGE
OF CONTROL PAYMENT").
Within 30 calendar days following any Change of Control, the
Company shall mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, stating:
(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to
this Section 4.18 and that all Notes tendered shall be
accepted for payment;
(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no
earlier than 30 calendar days nor later than 60 calendar
days from the date such notice is mailed (the "CHANGE OF
CONTROL PAYMENT DATE");
(3) that any Note not tendered shall continue to accrue
interest;
(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the
Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment
pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to
accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment
Date;
(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant
to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender
the Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect
Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the
Paying Agent at the address specified in such notice prior
to the close of business on the fifth Business Day preceding
the Change of Control Payment Date;
32
<Page>
(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if
the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of
business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of
Control Payment Date, facsimile transmission or letter
setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount
of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such
Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Notes
purchased; and
(7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part
will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the
unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which
unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal
amount or an integral multiple thereof.
The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1
under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder,
to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable to the repurchase of the
Notes in connection with a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions
of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.18, the
Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and
shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control
provisions of the Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture by virtue of
such conflict.
(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to
the extent lawful:
(1) accept for payment Notes or portions thereof tendered
pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change
of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions
thereof so tendered; and
(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so
accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the
Notes or portions thereof tendered to the Company.
The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so
accepted the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall
promptly authenticate and mail to each Holder a new Note equal in principal
amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided
that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral
multiple thereof. Prior to complying with the provisions of this Section 4.18,
but in any event within 90 calendar days following a Change of Control, the
Company shall either repay all outstanding Senior Debt or obtain the requisite
consents, if any, under all agreements governing outstanding Senior Debt to
permit the repurchase of Notes required by this Section 4.18. The Company shall
publicly announce in The Wall Street Journal, or if no longer published, a
national newspaper of general circulation, the results of the Change of Control
Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control
Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control
Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the
requirements set forth in this Section 4.18 applicable to a Change of Control
Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer.

[INSERT IN GLOBAL NOTES] [This Security is a Global Security
within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in
the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. This Security is
exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a Person other than the
Depository or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the
Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a
nominee of the Depository, by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or
another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a
successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.]
Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Notes in
definitive form, this Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to
the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any
such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor
Depository. Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative
of The Depository Trust Company (55 Water Street, New York, New York) ("DTC"),
to the issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment,
and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other
name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment
is made to Cede & Co. or such other entity as may be requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1. INTEREST. Iron Mountain Incorporated, a Pennsylvania
corporation (the "COMPANY") promises to pay interest on the principal amount of
this Note at 7 3/4% per annum from December 30, 2002 until January 15, 2015. The
Company shall pay interest, semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15
of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day (each an "INTEREST PAYMENT DATE"). Interest on the Notes will
accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; PROVIDED that if there is no
existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated
between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest
Payment Date; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be
July 15, 2003. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest
to the extent allowed in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
principal from time to time on demand at a rate equal to the per annum rate on
the Notes then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition
interest to the extent allowed in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace
periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay principal, premium,
if any, and interest on the Notes in money of the United States that at the time
of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Company,
however, may pay principal, premium, if any, and interest by check payable in
such money. It may mail an interest check to a Holder's registered address.
3. PAYING AGENT, REGISTRAR AND SERVICE AGENT. Initially, The
Bank of New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent,
Registrar and Service Agent. The Notes
F-2
<Page>
may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange at the offices of the
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Service Agent or Registrar
without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in
any such capacity.
4. INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture
dated as of December 30, 2002 (the "BASE INDENTURE") as supplemented by a First
Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 30, 2002 (the "SUPPLEMENTAL
INDENTURE" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "INDENTURE") among the
Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those
stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb).
The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the
Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any
provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture,
the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes
issued under the Indenture are subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company
limited to $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.
5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
Prior to January 15, 2008, the Notes shall be subject to
redemption at any time at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the Make-Whole Price, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, to but excluding the applicable redemption date. On
and after January 15, 2008, the Notes will be subject to redemption at any time
at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption price (expressed as percentages of
principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to but
excluding the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month
period beginning on January 15 of the years indicated below:
<Table>
<Caption>
YEAR PERCENTAGE
---- ----------
2008...................................... 103.875%
2009...................................... 102.583%
2010...................................... 101.292%
2011 and thereafter....................... 100.000%
</Table>
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to January 15,
2006, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the initial principal amount of the
Notes originally issued with the net proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity
Offerings at a redemption price equal to 107.750% of the principal amount of
such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption
date; provided, that at least 65% of the principal amount of Notes originally
issued remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of any such
redemption and that such redemption occurs within 60 days following the closing
of any such Qualified Equity Offering.
6. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more
than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be
redeemed at such Holder's address of record. The Notes in denominations larger
than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000,
unless all the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. In the event of a
redemption of less than all of the Notes, the Notes will be chosen for
redemption by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture. On and after the
redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on the Notes or portions of them
called for redemption.
F-3
<Page>
If this Note is redeemed subsequent to a Record Date with respect
to any Interest Payment Date specified above and on or prior to such Interest
Payment Date, then any accrued interest will be paid to the Person in whose name
this Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date.
7. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. Except as set forth in paragraph 8
below, the Company shall not be required to repurchase or to make mandatory
redemption payments with respect to the Notes. There are no sinking fund
payments with respect to the Notes.
8. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER. This Note is subject to
purchase at the option of the Holder upon the circumstances set forth in
Sections 3.9, 4.17 and 4.18 of the Indenture.
9. SUBORDINATION. The payment of the principal of, interest on
or any other amounts due on the Notes is subordinated in right of payment to all
existing and future Senior Debt of the Company, as described in the Indenture.
Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to such subordination and authorizes
and directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and appoints the Trustee
as its attorney-in-fact for such purpose.
10. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in
registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered
and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the
Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay
any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company
need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note
selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being
redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer
of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed
or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest
Payment Date.
11. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may
be treated as its owner for all purposes.
12. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture with respect to the Notes or the Notes may be amended
or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes and any existing default or compliance with any
provision of the Indenture with respect to the Notes or the Notes may be waived
with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes
(including, in each case, Additional Notes, if any). Without the consent of any
Holder of the Notes, the Indenture with respect to the Notes or the Notes may be
amended or supplemented to, in addition to other events more fully described in
the Indenture, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, provide
for the assumption of the Company's obligations to Holders of the Notes in the
case of a merger or consolidation, make any change that would provide any
additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, or
comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the
qualification of the Indenture under the TIA.
13. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. An Event of Default with respect to
the Notes occurs upon the occurrence of any of the following events: the default
for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes (whether or not
prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture); the default in
payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes (whether
or not
F-4
<Page>
prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture); the failure by the
Company to comply with Section 4.18 of the Indenture; the failure by the Company
or any Guarantor for 60 days after written notice from the Trustee or Holders of
not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including
Additional Notes, if any) outstanding to comply with any of its other agreements
in the Indenture, Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees; the default under any
mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which
there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is
guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such
Indebtedness or guarantee exists on the date of the Indenture or is created
thereafter, if: (i) such default results in the acceleration of such
Indebtedness prior to its express maturity or shall constitute a default in the
payment of such Indebtedness at final maturity of such Indebtedness and (ii) the
principal amount of any such Indebtedness that has been accelerated or not paid
at maturity, when added to the aggregate principal amount of all other such
Indebtedness that has been accelerated or not paid at maturity, exceeds $10.0
million; the failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay
final judgments aggregating in excess of $10.0 million, which judgments remain
unpaid, undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary; or except as permitted by the
Indenture or the Subsidiary Guarantees, any Subsidiary Guarantee issued by a
Restricted Subsidiary shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be
unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and
effect, or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Person acting on behalf of any
Restricted Subsidiary shall deny or disaffirm in writing its obligations under
its Subsidiary Guarantee.
If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
(including Additional Notes, if any) may declare all the Notes to be due and
payable immediately; provided, however, that if any Obligation with respect to
Senior Bank Debt is outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement upon a
declaration of acceleration of the Notes, the principal, premium, if any, and
interest on the Notes will not be payable until the earlier of: (1)the day which
is five business days after written notice of acceleration is received by the
Company and the Credit Agent or (2) the date of acceleration of the Indebtedness
under the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an
Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with
respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant
Subsidiary, the principal of, and premium, if any, and any accrued and unpaid
interest on all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further
action or notice. In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes
because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as a result of the
acceleration of any Indebtedness described in Section 6.1(e) of the Indenture,
the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if
the holders of any Indebtedness described in such section have rescinded the
declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness within 30 days from
the date of such declaration and if: (1) the annulment of the acceleration of
the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a competent
jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except non-payment of
principal or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the
acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.
Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the
Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or
Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it
determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Company is required
to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the
Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or
Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default
or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take
thereto.

interest, if lawful) on the Notes is guaranteed on an unsecured, senior

obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note and the related
Subsidiary Guarantees waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and
