the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that
such Holder is withdrawing such Holder's election to have
the Note purchased;
(7) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes
surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the
Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a PRO

appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in
denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof,
shall be purchased); and

be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the
unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.

Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment, on a PRO
RATA basis to the extent necessary, an
20

respect to the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for
purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note, to 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 be promptly mailed or
delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly
announce in a newspaper of general circulation the results of the Asset Sale
Offer on the Purchase Date.
The Asset Sale Offer shall be made by the Company in compliance
with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, Regulation 14E of the
Exchange Act and the rules thereunder, to the extent applicable, and all other
applicable federal and state securities laws.
Each purchase pursuant to this Section 3.9 shall be made pursuant

the Company the portion of such Excess Proceeds that is not necessary to
purchase the immediately lesser principal amount of Notes that is so divisible.

(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:
(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
23
(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;
(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;
24
(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
(3) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.
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
25
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 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:
26
(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.
(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.
27
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 Second 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 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:
28
(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
(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
29
(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:
(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,
30
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 Second
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 8 1/4% Notes, the
8 1/8% Notes, the 8 5/8% Notes and the 7 3/4% 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 8 1/4% Notes, the 8 1/8% Notes, the 8 5/8% Notes and the 7 3/4%
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
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
31
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;
(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
32
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
Second 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.

Indenture, Article XII of the Indenture shall apply, and the Notes shall

Indenture, Article VIII of the Indenture shall apply, and the Company shall have
the option to effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance pursuant to Article

Authorized Signature
6-5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016
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 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx) ("XXX"),
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 6-5/8% per annum from June 20, 2003 until January 1, 2016. The
Company shall pay interest, semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 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
January 1, 2004. 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 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
Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 20, 2003 (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 $150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.
5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
Prior to July 1, 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 10 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
July 1, 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 10 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 July 1 of the years indicated below:
YEAR PERCENTAGE
---- ----------
2008........................................... 103.313%
2009........................................... 102.208%
2010........................................... 101.104%
2011 and thereafter............................ 100.000%
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to July 1, 2006
the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem the Notes at a redemption
price of 106.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, and Liquidated Damages if any, to the redemption date, with the net
cash proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings; provided that (i) at
least $100.0 million in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including
any Additional Notes) issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately
after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company and
the Company's Subsidiaries) and (ii) the redemption must occur within six months
of the date of the closing of any such Qualified Equity Offering.
6. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 10 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.
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 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.
14. SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES. Payment of principal of, premium,
if any, and interest (including interest on overdue principal, if any, and
interest, if lawful) on the Notes is guaranteed on an unsecured, senior
subordinated basis by the Guarantors pursuant to Article XII of the Indenture.
15. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its
individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and
perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with
the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
16. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future
director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, as such, of the
Company or any Guarantor shall have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note and the related
Subsidiary Guarantees waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
17. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be valid until
authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
18. ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the
name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT
(= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of
survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (=
Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
19. CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by
the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has
caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation
is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.
