FORM AND TERMS OF THE NOTES

 

Section 2.1.                           Form and Dating.

 

(a)                                             General.  The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.  The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage.  Each Note shall be

 

17

 

dated the date of its authentication.  The Notes shall be in denominations of C$2,000 and integral multiples of C$1,000 in excess thereof.

 

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture, and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture (or in the case of any Guarantor that becomes such after the date hereof, a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 2.6(f) of this Supplemental Indenture (Section 4.13 of the Indenture)), expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.  However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture (as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture), the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

 

(b)                                             Global Notes.  Notes shall be issued initially in the form of the Global Notes, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Depository at its New York office, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.  The aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depository or its nominee as hereinafter provided.

 

Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein, and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.  Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Service Agent, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.4 hereof.

 

(c)                                              Book-Entry Provisions.  This Section 2.1(c) shall apply only to the Global Notes deposited with or on behalf of the Depository.

 

The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1(c), authenticate and deliver the Global Notes that (i) shall be registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository and (ii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository’s instructions or held by the Service Agent.

 

Agent Members shall have no rights either under this Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture with respect to any Global Notes held on their behalf by the Depository or by the Service Agent or under such Global Notes, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Notes for all purposes whatsoever.

 

(d)                                             Definitive Note.  Notes issued in certificated form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit attached hereto (but without including the text referred to in Section 2.15.3 of the Indenture).  Except as provided in Section 2.4, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Securities.

 

18

 

Section 2.2.                           Execution and Authentication.

 

The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by an Officer (the “Company Order”), authenticate up to C$200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes and such amount of Additional Notes as the Company may issue from time to time.

 

Section 2.3.                           Depository and Paying Agent for Notes.

 

The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depository with respect to the Global Notes.  The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent with respect to the Global Notes. The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, or CDS, is a participant in DTC and investors may elect to hold their interest in the Global Notes through CDS as a participant in DTC.

 

Section 2.4.                           Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

 

(a)                                             Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.  The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture and the procedures of the Depository therefor.  Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Notes.

 

(b)                                             Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes.  When Definitive Notes are presented by a Holder to the Registrar with a request:

 

(i) to register the transfer of the Definitive Notes; or

 

(ii) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations,

 

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes presented or surrendered for register of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing.

 

(c)                                              Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in subsection (d) of this Section 2.4), the Global Notes may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository, by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or to another nominee of the Depository, or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

 

(d)                                             Authentication of Definitive Notes in Absence of Depository.  If at any time:

 

(i) the Depository for the Notes notifies the Company that the Depository is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Global Notes and a successor Depository for the Global Notes is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after delivery of such notice; or

 

(ii) the Company at its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes under this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture, then the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver,

 

19

 

Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes.

 

(e)                                              Cancellation and/or Adjustment of the Global Notes.  At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.12 of the Indenture.  At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depository at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depository at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

 

(f)                                   General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

 

(i)                                     To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.

 

(ii)                                  No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof).

 

(iii)                               All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

(iv)                              The Company shall not be required to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

 

(v)                                 Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent, the Company and any Guarantor may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for all purposes, including receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes, and neither the Trustee, any Agent, the Company nor any Guarantor shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

20

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to August 15, 2016 the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem the Notes at a redemption price of 106.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, with cash in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings; provided that:

 

(1)                                 at least C$130.0 million of 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 Iron Mountain or any of its subsidiaries); and

 

(2)                                 the redemption must occur within six months of the date of the closing of any such Qualified Equity Offering.

 

(b)                                 The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders (which notice will be given in accordance with the procedures in Section 2.9, except that it may not be conditional, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed by the Company for redemption (the “Tax Redemption Date”) and all additional interest and Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (and in the case of Notes that are in physical, certificated form, subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date and additional interest and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, the Company

 

21

 

has or would be required to pay Additional Amounts, and the Company cannot avoid any such payment obligation taking reasonable measures available (including the designation of a paying agent in another jurisdiction), as a result of:

 

(1)                                 any change in, or amendment to, the laws or treaties (or any regulations, or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the relevant Tax Authority affecting taxation which is announced and becomes effective on or after the date of this Supplemental Indenture (or, if the relevant Tax Authority has changed since the date of this Supplemental Indenture, the date on which the then current Tax Authority became the applicable Tax Authority under this Supplemental Indenture); or

 

(2)                                 any change in, or amendment to, the existing official position or the introduction of an official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published practice), which is announced and becomes effective on or after the date of this Supplemental Indenture (or, if the relevant Tax Authority has changed since the date of this Supplemental Indenture, the date on which the then current Tax Authority became the applicable Tax Authority under this Supplemental Indenture).

 

The Company will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to make such payment or withholding if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due. Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and cannot avoid such obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it and (b) an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the Company will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of an event described above.

 

§ 3.8.                  Mandatory Redemption.

 

The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

 

§ 3.9                     Asset Sale Offers.

 

In the event that Iron Mountain shall commence an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof, it shall follow the procedures specified below:

 

The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for 20 Business Days after the Commencement Date relating to such Asset Sale Offer, except to the extent required to be extended by applicable law (as so extended, the “Offer Period”).  No later than one Business Day after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), Iron Mountain shall purchase the principal amount (the “Offer Amount”) of Notes required to be purchased in such Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 4.15 hereof or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer.

 

If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest payment record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any interest accrued to such Purchase Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

 

On the Commencement Date of any Asset Sale Offer, Iron Mountain shall send or cause to be sent, by first class mail, a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee.  Such notice,

 

22

 

which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable the Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer and shall state:

 

(1)                                 that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.9 and Section 4.15 of the Indenture and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open;

 

(2)                                 the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

 

(3)                                 that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest;

 

(4)                                 that, unless Iron Mountain defaults in the payment of the purchase price, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Purchase Date;

 

(5)                                 that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to Iron Mountain, a depositary, if appointed by Iron Mountain, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Purchase Date;

 

(6)                                 that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if Iron Mountain, a depositary or Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding the termination of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note 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 rata basis and in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary (with such adjustments as may be deemed to be appropriate by Iron Mountain so that only Notes in denominations of C$2,000, or integral multiples of C$1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and

 

(8)                                 that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.

 

On or before 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on each Purchase Date, Iron Mountain shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent in immediately available funds the aggregate purchase price with respect to a principal amount of Notes equal to the Offer Amount, together with accrued interest thereon, to be held for payment in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.9.  On such Purchase Date, Iron Mountain shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent applicable, an aggregate principal amount equal to the Offer Amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness (in accordance with the terms of Section 4.15 of the Indenture) tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness or portions thereof tendered, (ii) deliver or cause the Paying Agent or depositary, as the case may be, to deliver to the Trustee Notes so accepted and (iii) deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by Iron Mountain in accordance

 

23

 

with the terms of this Section 3.9.  Iron Mountain, Depositary or Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than three Business Days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price with respect to the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by Iron Mountain 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 Iron Mountain to the Holder thereof.  Iron Mountain 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 Iron Mountain in compliance with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, Regulation 14E of 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, and all other applicable federal and state securities laws. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.9, Iron Mountain shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Sections 3.9 or 4.15 of the Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

 

Each purchase pursuant to this Section 3.9 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.1 through 3.6 hereof to the extent applicable.

 

In the event the amount of Net Proceeds to be applied to an Asset Sale Offer would result in the purchase of a principal amount of Notes which is not evenly divisible by C$1,000, the Trustee shall promptly refund to Iron Mountain, upon receipt of written direction, the portion of such Net Proceeds that is not necessary to purchase the immediately lesser principal amount of Notes that is so divisible.

 

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount, Iron Mountain may use any remaining Asset Sale Offer Amount for general corporate purposes (including the repurchase of Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Notes to the extent not otherwise prohibited under this Supplemental Indenture). Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the Asset Sale Offer Amount shall be reset at zero.

 

Section 2.6.                           Additional Covenants.

 

With respect to the Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture, Sections 2.6(a) through 2.6(k) are added to Article IV of the Indenture.

 

(a)                                 Restricted Payments.

(1)                                 declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on account of Iron Mountain’s Equity Interests (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of Iron Mountain);

 

(2)                                 purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of Iron Mountain;

 

24

 

(3)                                 purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire prior to scheduled maturity for value any Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes; or

 

(4)                                 make any Investment other than a Permitted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”);

 

unless, at the time of such Restricted Payment:

 

(i)                                     no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

 

(ii)                                  Iron Mountain would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the test set forth in the first paragraph of Section 4.9 of the Indenture; and

 

(iii)                               such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate of all other Restricted Payments made by Iron Mountain and its Restricted Subsidiaries after October 1, 1996  (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2) through (11) of the next succeeding paragraph and any Restricted Payments in respect of the defeasance, redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Indebtedness prior to the date of this Supplemental Indenture that would have been subordinated in right of payment to the Notes) would be less than (x) the cumulative EBITDA of Iron Mountain, minus 1.75 times the cumulative Consolidated Interest Expense of Iron Mountain, in each case for the period (taken as one accounting period) from June 30, 1996, to the end of Iron Mountain’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment, plus (y) the aggregate net Equity Proceeds received by Iron Mountain from the issuance or sale since October 1, 1996 of Equity Interests of Iron Mountain or of debt securities of Iron Mountain that have been converted into such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests or convertible debt securities sold to a Restricted Subsidiary of Iron Mountain and other than Disqualified Stock or debt securities that have been converted into Disqualified Stock), plus (z) $2.0 million.

 

The foregoing provisions will not prohibit:

 

(1)                                 the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at said date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of the Indenture;

 

(2)                                 the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or with the net cash proceeds of, the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of Iron Mountain) of other Equity Interests of Iron Mountain (other than any Disqualified Stock); provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will not be considered to be net Equity Proceeds for purposes of clause (iii)(y) of the preceding

 

25

 

paragraph and will not be considered to be net cash proceeds from a Qualified Equity Offering for purposes of Section 3.7 of the Indenture;

 

(3)                                 the defeasance, redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes in exchange for, or with the net cash proceeds of, a substantially concurrent issue and sale (other than to Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) of Refinancing Indebtedness;

 

(4)                                 the repurchase of any Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Notes at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with provisions similar to the covenant set forth in Section 4.16 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;

 

(5)                                 in the event of an Asset Sale that requires Iron Mountain to make an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Notes pursuant to Section 4.15 of the Indenture, the payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, in each case at a purchase price not greater than 100% of the principal amount of such Indebtedness, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (A) prior to such payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement, Iron Mountain has made an Asset Sale Offer with respect to the Notes of such series pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.15 of the Indenture and has repurchased all such Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn in connection with such Asset Sale Offer (subject to the terms of such covenant) and (B) the aggregate amount of all such payments, purchases, redemptions, defeasances or other acquisitions or retirements of all such Indebtedness may not exceed the Asset Sale Offer Amount remaining after Iron Mountain has repurchased the Notes tendered to it pursuant to its Asset Sale Offer described under Section 4.15 of the Indenture;

 

(6)                                 the repurchase of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options to the extent such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of those stock options;

 

(7)                                 so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of Iron Mountain or any preferred stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of Iron Mountain issued on or after the date of this Supplemental Indenture in accordance with the Leverage Ratio test described in Section 4.9 of the Indenture;

 

(8)                                 payments of cash, dividends, distributions, advances or other Restricted Payments by Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to allow the payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares upon (i) the exercise of options or warrants or (ii) the conversion or exchange of Capital Stock of any such Person;

 

26

 

(9)                                 additional payments to current or former employees or directors of Iron Mountain for repurchases of stock, stock options or other equity interests; provided that the aggregate amount of all such payments under this clause (9) does not exceed $5.0 million in any year and $10.0 million in the aggregate;

 

(10)                          the defeasance, redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes if, at the time of such defeasance, redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition or retirement and after giving effect thereto, the Senior Leverage Ratio would be less than 3.5 to 1.0; and

 

(11)                          so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15.0 million since the date of this Supplemental Indenture.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Iron Mountain may declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on or in respect of shares of Iron Mountain’s Capital Stock to holders of such Capital Stock, so long as (A) (1) such dividend or distribution is intended to be part of a distribution of Iron Mountain’s earnings and profits in connection with or in anticipation of Iron Mountain’s conversion to a REIT or (2) Iron Mountain believes in good faith that it qualifies as a “real estate investment trust”  under Section 856 of the Code (or any successor provision) and that the declaration or payment of such dividend or making of such distribution is necessary to maintain Iron Mountain’s status as a REIT for any taxable year, with such dividend to be paid or distribution to be made as and when determined by Iron Mountain, whether during or after the end of the relevant taxable year and (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

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 Iron Mountain’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 Iron Mountain and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such net reduction and (b) the initial amount of such Investment.  In addition, for the avoidance of doubt and to avoid double counting, if an Investment results in the making of a Restricted Payment, then the subsequent assignment, contribution, distribution or other transfer of such Investment by Iron Mountain or any Restricted Subsidiary of Iron Mountain to any Excluded Restricted Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary shall not be considered a new Investment or Restricted Payment and shall not further reduce the amount that would otherwise be available for Restricted Payments under clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section.

 

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 Restricted Payment calculations under the Indenture:

 

(1)                                 Investments 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, in each case 

 

27

 

with Fair Market Value determined by Iron Mountain’s Board of Directors in good faith and, for the avoidance of doubt, such inclusions and exclusions will not be limited by the amount of any Investment or aggregate Investments;

 

(2)                                 any asset or 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 Iron Mountain’s Board of Directors in good faith and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Fair Market Value (as so determined) of such asset of property shall be subtracted from (in the case of a transfer to an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or added to (in the case of a transfer from an Unrestricted Subsidiary) the calculation under clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section; and

 

(3)                                 subject to the foregoing, the amount of any Restricted Payment, if other than cash, shall be determined by Iron Mountain, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive.

 

Iron Mountain’s Board of Directors may designate a Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with Section 4.14 of the Indenture.  Upon such designation, all outstanding Investments by Iron Mountain 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 Section 4.8.  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.

 

§4.9.  Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.  Iron Mountain shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, Guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and Iron Mountain shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that Iron Mountain may incur Indebtedness or issue preferred stock and may permit a Restricted Subsidiary to incur Indebtedness if at the time of such incurrence or issuance and after giving effect thereto (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom) the Leverage Ratio would be less than 6.5 to 1.0.

 

The foregoing limitations shall not apply to:

 

(1)                                 the incurrence by Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of Iron Mountain and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed $2,000.0 million;

 

(2)                                 the issuance of the Note Guarantees and the Guarantees of the Iron Mountain Notes on the date of this Supplemental Indenture;

 

(3)                                 the incurrence by Iron Mountain and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;

 

28

 

(4)                                 the issuance of the Notes and the Iron Mountain Notes on the date of this Supplemental Indenture;

 

(5)                                 the incurrence by Iron Mountain and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings and/or additional Indebtedness constituting purchase money obligations, including all Refinancing Indebtedness incurred with respect thereto, up to an aggregate at any one time outstanding of the greater of (I) $250.0 million and (II) 5.0% of Consolidated Total Assets as of any date of incurrence;

 

(6)                                 the incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness or preferred stock between (i) Iron Mountain and its Restricted Subsidiaries and (ii) the Restricted Subsidiaries;

 

(7)                                 the incurrence by Iron Mountain and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business;

 

(8)                                 the incurrence by Iron Mountain 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;

 

(9)                                 the incurrence by Iron Mountain 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;

 

(10)                          the incurrence by Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five business days;

 

(11)                          the Guarantee by Iron Mountain or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of Iron Mountain or a Restricted Subsidiary of Iron Mountain and the Guarantee by any non-Guarantor Subsidiary of Indebtedness of another non-Guarantor Subsidiary, in each case, to the extent that the Guaranteed Indebtedness was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.9; provided that if the Indebtedness being Guaranteed is subordinated to the Notes or a Note Guarantee, then the Guarantee must be subordinated to the same extent as the Indebtedness Guaranteed;

 

(12)                          the incurrence by Iron Mountain 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 (other than intercompany Indebtedness) referred to in clauses (2) through (5) above, this clause (12) or clause (13) below or that was otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to the test set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 4.9; and

 

(13)                          the incurrence by Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge 

 

29

 

any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (13), not to exceed $50.0 million.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors will not be permitted to incur Indebtedness or issue preferred stock pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.9 or clause (13) above if, after giving effect to such incurrence or issuance, the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors (excluding intercompany Indebtedness between or among Iron Mountain and its Restricted Subsidiaries) outstanding pursuant to such first paragraph or such clause, together with the aggregate liquidation preference of preferred stock issued by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors (excluding intercompany preferred stock issued between or among Iron Mountain and its Restricted Subsidiaries) outstanding pursuant to such provisions, would exceed the greater of (x) $750.0 million and (y) 1.0x Adjusted EBITDA as of any date of incurrence.

 

Neither the Company nor Iron Mountain will incur and Iron Mountain will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company, Iron Mountain or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company, Iron Mountain or a Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis.

 

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.9, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted debt described in clauses (1) through (13) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.9, Iron Mountain will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.9. Indebtedness under Credit Agreement outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under the Indenture will at all times be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) above. The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.9; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in the Consolidated Interest Expense of Iron Mountain as accrued.

 

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars will be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease, or that is exchanged for, other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, and such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal, defeasance or exchange would cause the applicable U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal, defeasance or exchange, such U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed, defeased or exchanged. Notwithstanding any other provision of 

 

30

 

this Section 4.9, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 4.9 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

 

(1)                                 the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

 

(2)                                 the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

 

(3)                                 in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

 

(i)                                     the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

 

(ii)                                  the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

 

(c)                                  Liens.

 

§4.10.  Liens.  Neither Iron Mountain 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.

 

§4.11.  Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.  Iron Mountain 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 Iron Mountain 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 Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

 

(2)                                 make loans or advances to Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

 

(3)                                 transfer any of its properties or assets to Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

 

However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

 

(1)                                 agreements governing Existing Indebtedness as in effect as of the date of this Supplemental Indenture, and any amendments, modifications, restatements, 

 

31

 

renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings 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 agreements governing Existing Indebtedness as in effect on the date of this Supplemental Indenture;

 

(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, and the Iron Mountain Indenture and the Iron Mountain Notes;

 

(4)                                 applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable rule, regulation or order;

 

(5)                                 any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by Iron Mountain 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, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the Indenture to be incurred;

 

(6)                                 customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices;

 

(7)                                 any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

 

(8)                                 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;

 

(9)                                 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;

 

(10)                          Liens permitted to be incurred under Section 4.9 of the Indenture that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

 

(11)                          provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale 

 

32

 

agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Permitted Investment) entered into with the approval of Iron Mountain’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements;

 

(12)                          restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; and

 

(13)                          agreements governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the provisions of Section 4.9 of the Indenture and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the restrictions therein are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees.

 

(e)                                  Transactions with Affiliates

 

§4.12.  Transactions with Affiliates.  Iron Mountain 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”) involving in the aggregate payment or consideration in excess of $1.0 million, unless:

 

(1)                                 such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to Iron Mountain or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by Iron Mountain or such Restricted Subsidiary with a non-Affiliated Person; and

 

(2)                                 with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate payments in excess of $25.0 million, Iron Mountain delivers to the Trustee a resolution of Iron Mountain’s Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) above and such Affiliate Transaction is approved by a majority of the disinterested members of Iron Mountain’s Board of Directors.

 

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, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments thereto;

 

(2)                                 transactions between or among Iron Mountain and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

 

(3)                                 transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of Iron Mountain) that is an Affiliate of Iron Mountain solely because Iron Mountain owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

 

33

 

(4)                                 payment of reasonable and customary fees and reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity arrangements or otherwise) of officers, directors, employees or consultants of Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

 

(5)                                 any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of Iron Mountain to Affiliates of Iron Mountain;

 

(6)                                 Restricted Payments and Permitted Investments that do not violate the provisions of Section 4.8 of the Indenture;

 

(7)                                 payments to an Affiliate in respect of the Notes or any other Indebtedness of Iron Mountain or any Restricted Subsidiary on the same basis as concurrent payments made or offered to be made in respect thereof to non-Affiliates; and

 

(8)                                 loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business not to exceed $1.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding.

 

The provisions set forth in clause (2) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.12 shall not apply to sales of inventory by Iron Mountain or any Restricted Subsidiary to any Affiliate in the ordinary course of business.

 

(f)                                   Additional Note Guarantees.

 

§4.13.  Additional Note Guarantees.  No Restricted Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Restricted Subsidiary) may, after the date of this Supplemental Indenture, Guarantee the payment of (a) any Indebtedness of Iron Mountain or any Guarantor under any credit facility or (b) any Indebtedness of Iron Mountain or any Guarantor evidenced by bonds, notes or other debt securities in an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million of more, unless such Restricted Subsidiary shall execute a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, pursuant to which it shall provide a Note Guarantee and deliver an Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

 

No Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate (or, for the avoidance of doubt, amalgamate) with or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person (other than Iron Mountain) whether or not affiliated with such Subsidiary Guarantor unless:

 

(1)                                 subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation (or amalgamation) or merger (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and

 

(2)                                 immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists.

 

The Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will automatically be released:

 

(1)                                 in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Subsidiary Guarantor by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Iron Mountain or a Restricted Subsidiary of Iron Mountain, if the sale or other disposition does not 

 

34

 

violate Section 4.15 of the Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of Iron Mountain as a result of the sale or other disposition;

 

(2)                                 if Iron Mountain designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of Section 4.14 of the Indenture; or

 

(3)                                 upon legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Indenture as provided below under Section 2.8 of this Supplemental Indenture or Article X of the Indenture.

 

(g)                                  Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

 

§4.14.  Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.  Iron Mountain’s 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 Iron Mountain nor any Restricted Subsidiary is directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary;

 

(2)                             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;

 

(3)                                 neither Iron Mountain nor any Restricted Subsidiary has a contract, agreement, arrangement, understanding or obligation of any kind, whether written or oral, with such Subsidiary other than (i) those that might be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of Iron Mountain or (ii) administrative, tax sharing and other ordinary course contracts, agreements, arrangements and understandings or obligations entered into in the ordinary course of business; and

 

(4)                                 neither Iron Mountain 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.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4.14 shall not limit or restrict the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any properties or assets to any other Subsidiary, including any Unrestricted Subsidiary, to the extent such sale, transfer or other disposition is permitted by the provisions of the Indenture described under Section 4.12 or Section 4.15.

 

Iron Mountain’s 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.

 

35

 

(h)                                 Asset Sales.

 

§4.15.  Asset Sales.  Iron Mountain 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 (a) the sale, lease or other transfer of real estate, products, inventory, services or accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business and any sale or other disposition of damaged, worn-out or obsolete assets in the ordinary course of business (including the abandonment or other disposition of intellectual property that is, in the reasonable judgment of Iron Mountain, no longer economically practicable to maintain or useful in the conduct of the business of Iron Mountain and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as whole), (b) licenses and sublicenses by Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of software or intellectual property in the ordinary course of business, (c) any surrender or waiver of contract rights or settlement, release, recovery on or surrender of contract, tort or other claims in the ordinary course of business, (d) the granting of Liens not prohibited by Section 4.10 of the Indenture or (e) the sale or other disposition of cash or Cash Equivalents (provided that the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Iron Mountain will be governed by Sections 4.16 and 5.1 of the Indenture and not by the provisions of this Section 4.15); 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:

 

(A)                               have a Fair Market Value in excess of $10.0 million; or

 

(B)                               result in Net Proceeds in excess of $10.0 million, each of the foregoing, an “Asset Sale,” unless (x) Iron Mountain (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 of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of and (y) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by Iron Mountain or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of (i) cash, (ii) Cash Equivalents, (iii) like-kind assets, (iv) other assets used in or useful in Iron Mountain’s business or (v) Designated Non-Cash Consideration having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (B)(y)(v) that is at the time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (I) $50.0 million and (II) 1.0% of Iron Mountain’s Consolidated Total Assets as of the date of such Asset Sale (in each case as determined in good faith by Iron Mountain and certified by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee);

 

provided, however, that the amount of:

 

(A)                               any liabilities (as shown on Iron Mountain’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) of Iron Mountain or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets; and

 

36

 

(B)                               any notes or other obligations received by Iron Mountain or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are immediately converted by Iron Mountain 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 (B) (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.  For the avoidance of doubt, a disposition that constitutes a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment will be governed by the provisions of Section 4.8 and not by this Section 4.15.

 

A transfer of assets or issuance of Equity Interests by Iron Mountain to a Restricted Subsidiary or by a Restricted Subsidiary to Iron Mountain or to another Restricted Subsidiary will not be deemed to be an Asset Sale.

 

Within 365 days of any Asset Sale, Iron Mountain or any Restricted Subsidiary may, at its option, apply an amount equal to the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale either:

 

(1)                                 to repay Indebtedness and other obligations that are secured by a Lien;

 

(2)                                 to an investment in another business or capital expenditure or other long-term assets, in each case, in the same line of business as Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries was engaged on the date of this Supplemental Indenture or in businesses similar or reasonably related thereto;

 

(3)                                 to repay other Indebtedness of Iron Mountain or a Subsidiary Guarantor that ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Notes or any Note Guarantee, as applicable (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”); provided that Iron Mountain shall also equally and ratably offer to reduce Indebtedness under the Notes by making an offer (in accordance with Section 3.9 of the Indenture) to the holders of the Notes 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 Section 3.9 of the Indenture; and/or

 

(4)                                 a combination of prepayment and investment permitted by the foregoing clauses (1)-(3).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, Iron Mountain (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) enters into a binding written agreement irrevocably committing Iron Mountain or such Restricted Subsidiary to an application of funds of the kind described in clause (2) above, Iron Mountain or such Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed not to be in violation of the preceding paragraph so long as such application of funds is consummated within 545 days of the receipt of such Net Proceeds.

 

Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, Iron Mountain may temporarily reduce revolving credit Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture. On the 365th day after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the board of directors of Iron Mountain or of such Restricted Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (1)—(4) of the second preceding paragraph (an “Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Proceeds (rounded down to the nearest $1,000) 

 

37

 

that has not been applied on or before such Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (1)—(4) of the second preceding paragraph or the last provision of this paragraph (an “Asset Sale Offer Amount”) shall be applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of the Notes and, to the extent required by the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness (including the U.S. Notes), on a date (such date, an “Asset Sale Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date (such date, the “Commencement Date”), from all Holders of the Notes (and holders of any such Pari Passu Indebtedness) on a pro rata basis, the maximum amount of Notes of the series and Pari Passu Indebtedness equal to the Asset Sale Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase. Iron Mountain shall comply with the requirements of Regulation 14E as described under Section 3.9;  provided, however, Iron Mountain may defer an Asset Sale Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Asset Sale Offer Amount equal to or in excess of $25.0 million resulting from one or more Asset Sales (at which time, the entire unutilized Asset Sale Offer Amount, and not just the amount in excess of $25.0 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to this Section 4.15 and Section 3.9).

 

(i)                                     Change of Control Offer.

 

§ 4.16.           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 C$2,000 or an integral multiple of C$1,000 in excess 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 4.16 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

 

38

 

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 C$2,000 or an integral multiple of C$1,000 in excess 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 4.16, 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 this 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 C$2,000 or an integral multiple of C$1,000 in excess thereof.

 

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 4.16 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.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

 

39

 

(j)                                    Changes in Covenants When Notes Rated Investment Grade.

 

§ 4.17.           Changes in Covenants When Notes Rated Investment Grade.

 

If on any date following the date of this Supplemental Indenture:

 

(1)                                 at least two of the following events occur:

 

i.                  the Notes are rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s Investors Service,

 

ii.               the Notes are rated BBB- or better by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group, a division of McGraw Hill Financial, Inc., or

 

iii.            the Notes rated BBB- or better by Fitch Ratings, Inc.,

 

(or, if any such entity ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the control of Iron Mountain, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” registered under Section 15E of the Exchange Act selected by the Company as a replacement agency); and

 

(2)                                 no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

 

then, beginning on that date and continuing at all times thereafter regardless of any subsequent changes in the rating of the Notes, Sections 3.9, 4.8, 4.9, 4.11, 4.12, 4.14 and 4.15 and clause (d) of Section 5.1 of the Indenture shall no longer be applicable as to the Notes.

 

(k)                                 Additional Amounts.

 

§ 4.18.           Additional Amounts.

 

All payments made by or on behalf of the Company under or with respect to the Notes or any of the Guarantors on its Note Guarantee in respect of the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which the Company or any such Guarantor (including any successor entity), is then incorporated or resident or doing business for tax purposes, any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of the Company or any such Guarantor (including the jurisdiction of any paying agent), or, in each case, any political subdivision thereof or therein, (each of the foregoing, a “Tax Authority”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes of any Tax Authority will at any time be required to be made from or imposed directly on any Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes on any payments made by or on behalf of the Company under or with respect to the Notes or any of the Guarantors with respect to any Note Guarantee of the Notes, including payments of principal, redemption price, purchase price, interest, premium or additional interest, if any, the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable, will pay such additional amounts, or Additional Amounts, as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received and retained in respect of such payments by each Holder or beneficial owner (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding, deduction or imposition will equal the respective amounts which would have been received and retained in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding, deduction or imposition; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to:

 

40

 

(1)                                 any payments on a Note in respect of Taxes which would not have been imposed but for the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Note being, or having been, a citizen or resident or national of, incorporated in, or carrying on a business in the jurisdiction in which such Taxes are imposed other than by the mere acquisition, holding or disposition of such Note or enforcement of rights thereunder or the receipt of payments in respect thereof;

 

(2)                                 any Taxes that are imposed or withheld as a result of the failure of the Holder of a Note or beneficial owner of a note to complete, execute and deliver to the Company or a Guarantor, as the case may be, any certification, identification, information or other reporting requirement, which is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such Taxes and, except with respect to United States federal income taxes, which is reasonably requested in writing to be delivered to the Company or such Guarantor and which written request is made to that Holder or beneficial owner at least 60 days before such deduction or withholding would be payable;

 

(3)                                 any Note presented for payment (where Notes are in physical, certificated form and presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30 day period);

 

(4)                                 any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar Tax or assessment;

 

(5)                                 any Taxes payable otherwise than by way of deduction or withholding;

 

(6)                                 any person who is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual holder of the Note;

 

(7)                                 any Holder of a Note or a beneficial owner of a Note that is or was a “10-percent shareholder” of Iron Mountain as defined in Section 871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any successor provision;

 

(8)                                 any Holder of a Note or a beneficial owner of a Note that is a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code;

 

(9)                                 any Taxes imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (and regulations issued thereunder) or under substantially similar provisions; or

 

(10)                          any combination of items (1) through (9) above.

 

In addition to the foregoing, the Company and the Guarantors will also pay any present or future stamp, issue, registration, transfer, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies or Taxes which are levied by any Tax Authority on the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of any of the Notes, this Supplemental Indenture, any Guarantee or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees. The Company and the Guarantors will not, however, be obligated to pay any present or future stamp, issue, registration, transfer, court or documentary tax, or any other excise or 

 

41

 

property tax, charge or similar levy or Tax which is levied by any Tax Authority in connection with any transfer of any Note by any Holder.

 

If the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes or any Note Guarantee of the Notes, the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, will deliver to the Trustee on a date which is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Company or the relevant Guarantor shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter) an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officers’ Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agents to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Company or the relevant Guarantor will provide the Trustee with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts.

 

The Company or the relevant Guarantor will make all required withholdings and deductions and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Tax Authority in accordance with applicable law. The Company or the relevant Guarantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate administrative actions necessary to assist beneficial owners to obtain any refund of or credit against Taxes for which Additional Amounts are not paid as a result of the conditions in the proviso to the first paragraph hereof.

 

In the event that either the Company or the relevant Guarantor has become, or would be, obliged to pay on the next date on which any amount would be payable under or with respect to the Notes, any Additional Amounts as a result of certain changes affecting the laws relating to withholding or deduction of Taxes, the Company may redeem all, but not less than all, the Notes in accordance with Section 2.5(b) of this Supplemental Indenture.

 

Whenever in this Supplemental Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Notes or of principal, interest, additional interest or of any other amount payable under, or with respect to, any of the Notes, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

 

The above obligations will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Supplemental Indenture, or any transfer by a Holder or beneficial owner of its Notes, and will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Company or any Guarantor is incorporated, engaged in business for tax purposes or resident for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which such Person makes any payment on the Notes (or any Note Guarantee of the Notes) and any political subdivision thereof or therein.

 

Section 2.7.                           Note Guarantees.

 

With respect to the Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture, Article XIII of the Indenture shall apply, and the Notes shall constitute a Series to be guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant to Article XIII of the Indenture.

 

Section 2.8.                           Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

 

With respect to the Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture, Article VIII of the Indenture shall apply, and the Company shall have the option to effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant

 

42

 

Defeasance pursuant to Article VIII of the Indenture.  In connection with any Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall be released from its obligations under the covenants specified in Sections 4.2 of the Indenture and Section 2.6 of this Supplemental Indenture.

 

Section 2.9.         Amend, Restate and Replace Provision Regarding Redemption.

 

With respect to the Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture, Section 3.2 of the Indenture is amended, restated and replaced in its entirety by the following:

 

§ 3.2.                  Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed among the applicable Holders on a pro rata basis or by lot(or, in the case of Notes issued in global form as discussed in Section 2.1(c), based on a method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate in accordance with The Depository Trust Company guidelines) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements, provided that no Securities of C$2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of C$2,000 or whole multiples of C$1,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of C$1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. Any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, and if so conditioned, the redemption date for such Notes may be extended by the Company pending achievement of such condition precedent.

6.125% CAD Senior Notes due 2021

 

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 Canada Operations ULC,  an unlimited liability company organized and existing under the laws of British Columbia, Canada  (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.125% per annum from August 13, 2013 until August 15, 2021.  The Company shall pay interest, semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 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 February 15, 2014.  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.

 

A-3

 

2.                                      METHOD OF PAYMENT.  The Company will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in Canadian Dollars. 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 AND REGISTRAR.  Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, 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 a Senior Indenture dated as of August 13, 2013 (the “Base Indenture”) as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 13, 2013 (the “First 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 unsecured obligations of the Company.

 

5.                                      OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

 

(a)                                 Prior to August 15, 2017, 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 Make-Whole Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. On and after August 15, 2017, 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 12-month period beginning on August 15 of the years indicated below:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to August 15, 2016 the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem the Notes at a redemption price of 106.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings; provided that: (i) at least C$130.0 million of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which may include Additional Notes) issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by Iron Mountain Incorporated  (“Iron Mountain”)or any of its Subsidiaries); and (ii) the redemption must occur within six months of the date of the closing of any such Qualified Equity Offering.

 

A-4

 

(b)                             The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders (which notice will be given in accordance with the procedures in Section 2.9 of the Indenture, except that it may not be conditional, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed by the Company for redemption (the “Tax Redemption Date”) and all additional interest and Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (and in the case of Notes that are in physical, certificated form, subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date and additional interest and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, the Company has or would be required to pay Additional Amounts, and the Company cannot avoid any such payment obligation taking reasonable measures available (including the designation of a paying agent in another jurisdiction), as a result of:

 

(1)                                 any change in, or amendment to, the laws or treaties (or any regulations, or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the relevant Tax Authority affecting taxation which is announced and becomes effective on or after the date of this Supplemental Indenture (or, if the relevant Tax Authority has changed since the date of this Supplemental Indenture, the date on which the then current Tax Authority became the applicable Tax Authority under this Supplemental Indenture); or

 

(2)                                 any change in, or amendment to, the existing official position or the introduction of an official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published practice), which is announced and becomes effective on or after the date of this Supplemental Indenture (or, if the relevant Tax Authority has changed since the date of this Supplemental Indenture, the date on which the then current Tax Authority became the applicable Tax Authority under this Supplemental Indenture).

 

The Company will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to make such payment or withholding if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due. Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the Company  is entitled to effect such redemption and cannot avoid such obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it and (b) an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the Company will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of an event described above.

 

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 C$2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of C$1,000 in excess thereof, 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.

 

A-5

 

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, 4.15 and 4.16 of the Indenture.

 

9.                                      DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.  The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of C$2,000 and integral multiples of C$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.

 

10.                               PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.  The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

 

11.                               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.

 

12.                               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; the default in payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes; the failure by the Company to comply with Section 4.16 of the Indenture; the failure by Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries 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 Note Guarantees; the failure to pay at final maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the stated principal amount of any Indebtedness of Iron Mountain or any Restricted Subsidiary of Iron Mountain, or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness (which acceleration is not rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 30 days of receipt by Iron Mountain or such Restricted Subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration) if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final stated maturity or which has been so accelerated (in each case with respect to which the 30-day period described above has passed), equals $50.0 million or more at any time; the failure by Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $50.0 million, which judgments remain unpaid, undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to Iron Mountain or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary; or except as permitted by the Indenture or the Note Guarantees, any  Note Guarantee 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 Iron Mountain or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Person acting on behalf of Iron Mountain or any Restricted Subsidiary shall deny or disaffirm in writing its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

 

In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to Iron Mountain, any Restricted Subsidiary of Iron Mountain that is a Significant Subsidiary, any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of Iron Mountain that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or the Company, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all Notes to be due and payable immediately.

 

Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee will be required to give notice to Holders of the Notes within 90 days after a default of which the Trustee has knowledge under the Indenture unless the default has been cured or waived. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest.

 

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders of Notes unless such Holders have offered the Trustee, indemnity or security reasonably acceptable to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless: such Holder has previously given Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; such holder or holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to such Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request

 

A-7

 

and the offer of security or indemnity; and during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request.

 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Notes.

 

13.                               NOTE 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 basis by the Guarantors pursuant to Article XIII of the Indenture.

 

14.                               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.

 

15.                               NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.  No 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 Note 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 Note Guarantees waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes and the Note Guarantees.

 

16.                               AUTHENTICATION.  This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

 

17.                               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).

 

18.                               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, to be provided by the Company, in notices 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 and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

 

The Company shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture.  Requests may be made to:

FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
 TO BE DELIVERED BY FUTURE GUARANTORS

 

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of                                 , 20    , among                                (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of Iron Mountain Incorporated (or its successor)  (“Iron Mountain”), Iron Mountain Canada Operations ULC, an unlimited liability company organized and existing under the laws of British Columbia, Canada  (the “Company”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H

 

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of August 13, 2013, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2013 (the indenture, as so supplemented, the “Indenture”) providing for the issuance of 6.125% CAD Senior Notes due 2021  (the “Notes”);

 

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”); and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

 

1.                                      CAPITALIZED TERMS.  Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

2.                                      AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE.  The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees that its obligations to the Holder and the Trustee pursuant to the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be as expressly set forth in Article XIII of the Indenture and in such other provisions of the Indenture as are applicable to the Guarantors, and reference is made to the Indenture for the precise terms of this Supplemental Indenture.  The terms of Article XIII of the Indenture and such other provisions of the Indenture  as are applicable to the Guarantors are incorporated herein by reference.

 

3.                                      EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES.

 

(a)                                 If an Officer whose signature is on this Supplemental Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

 

(b)                                 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof under the Indenture, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Supplemental Indenture on behalf of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary.

 

4.                                      NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.  No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for

 

B-1

 

any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor (including the Guaranteeing Subsidiary) under the Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantee, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

 

5.                                      NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN.  THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

 

6.                                      COUNTERPARTS.  This Supplemental Indenture may be signed in counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

7.                                      EFFECT OF HEADINGS.  The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

 

8.                                      THE TRUSTEE.  The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Company.
