IRON MOUNTAIN INCORPORATED 1995 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
This Incentive Stock Option Agreement and the attached Incentive Stock
Option Schedule (together, the "Option Agreement") made as of the "Date of
Grant" on the attached Incentive Stock Option Schedule (the "Schedule") by and
between Iron Mountain Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
the Optionee.
WITNESSETH THAT:
WHEREAS, the Company has instituted the "Iron Mountain Incorporated 1995
Stock Incentive Plan," as amended (the "Plan"); and
WHEREAS, the Stock Incentive Plan Subcommittee of the Compensation
Committee (the "Subcommittee"), has authorized the grant of a stock option upon
the terms and conditions set forth below and pursuant to the Plan, a copy of
which is attached hereto and incorporated herein; and
WHEREAS, the Subcommittee has designated this stock option an incentive
stock option in accordance with Section 5 of the Plan;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration
the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the
Optionee agree as follows.
1. GRANT. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the
Company hereby grants to the Optionee a stock option (the "Option") to purchase
from the Company the amount of Common Stock ("Stock") shown as the "Total Number
of Shares" on the Schedule. This Option is intended to constitute an incentive
stock option and to qualify for special federal income tax treatment under
Section 422 of the Code.
2. EXERCISE PRICE. This Option may be exercised at the "Exercise Price Per
Share" shown on the Schedule, subject to adjustment as provided herein and in
the Plan.
3. TERM AND EXERCISABILITY OF OPTION. This Option shall expire on the "Last
Date to Exercise" shown on the Schedule, unless the Option expires earlier
pursuant to this Section 3 or any provision of the Plan. At any time before its
expiration, this Option may be exercised to the extent vested, as shown on the
Schedule, provided that:
(a) at the time of exercise the Optionee is not in violation of any
Employee Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement with the Company;
(b) the Optionee's employment relationship with the Company
("Relationship") must be in effect on a given date in order for any
scheduled increment in vesting, as set forth in the "Vesting Schedule" on
the Schedule, to become effective; and
(c) this Option may not be exercised after the sixtieth (60th) day
following the date of termination of the Relationship between the Optionee
and the Company, except that if the Relationship terminates by reason of
the Optionee's death or total and permanent disability (as determined by
the Board on the basis of medical advice satisfactory to it), the
unexercised portion of the option that is otherwise exercisable on the date
of termination of the Relationship shall remain exercisable thereafter for
one (1) year.
For purposes of this Section 3, the term "Company" refers to the Company
and all Subsidiaries.
4. METHOD OF EXERCISE. Prior to its expiration and to the extent that the
right to purchase shares of Stock has vested hereunder, this Option may be
exercised from time to time by notice acceptable to the Company stating the
number of shares with respect to which this Option is being exercised and
accompanied by either (a) payment in full of the Exercise Price for the number
of shares to be delivered, by means of payment acceptable to the Company in
accordance with Section 5(c) of the Plan, or (b) a description of a "cashless
exercise" procedure and such other documents and undertakings as are necessary
to satisfy that procedure. The Company, or the Committee, may from time to time
designate one or more forms or methods of providing notice of the exercise of an
Option and in that event the Optionee agrees to utilize such form or method. As
soon as practicable after its receipt of such notice, the Company shall, without
transfer or issue tax to the Optionee (or other person entitled to exercise this
Option), deliver to the Optionee (or other person entitled to exercise this
Option), at the principal executive offices of the Company or such other place
as shall be mutually acceptable, a stock certificate or certificates for such
shares out of theretofore authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares of
its Stock as the Company may elect; provided, however, that the time of such
delivery may be postponed by the Company for such period as may be required for
it with reasonable diligence to comply with any applicable requirements of law.
Payment of the Exercise Price may be made in cash or cash equivalents or, in
accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 5(c) of the Plan, in whole
or in part in shares of Stock of the Company; provided, however, that the Board
reserves the right upon receipt of any written notice of exercise from the
Optionee to require payment in cash with respect to the shares contemplated in
such notice; and provided, further, that the Optionee may not make payment in
shares of Stock that he acquired upon the earlier exercise of any incentive
stock option, unless he has held the shares until at least two (2) years after
the date the incentive stock option was granted and at least one (1) year after
the date the incentive stock option was exercised. If the Optionee (or other
person entitled to exercise this Option) fails to pay for and accept delivery of
all of the shares specified in such notice upon tender of delivery thereof, his
right to exercise this Option with respect to such shares not paid for may be
terminated by the Company.
The Committee may, in its discretion at the time of exercise of the Option,
grant to the Optionee a new option (a "Reload Option") to permit the Optionee to
purchase that number of shares of Stock delivered by the Optionee to the Company
in full or partial payment of the Exercise Price, on such terms and conditions
as the Committee may determine under the terms of the Plan. The Exercise Price
for shares subject to a Reload Option shall be not less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date of grant of the Reload
- 2 -
Option, and the duration of a Reload Option shall be equal to the unexpired term
of the exercised Option on the date of exercise.
5. NON-ASSIGNABILITY OF OPTION. This Option shall not be assignable or
transferable by the Optionee except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. During the life of the Optionee, this Option shall be exercisable
only by him, by a conservator or guardian duly appointed for him by reason of
the Optionee's incapacity or by the person appointed by the Optionee in a
durable power of attorney acceptable to the Company's counsel.
6. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES ACT; LOCK-UP AGREEMENT. The Company shall not
be obligated to sell or issue any shares of Stock or other securities pursuant
to the exercise of this Option unless the shares of Stock or other securities
with respect to which this Option is being exercised are at that time
effectively registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws. In the event shares or other securities shall
be issued that shall not be so registered, the Optionee hereby represents,
warrants and agrees that he will receive such shares or other securities for
investment and not with a view to their resale or distribution, and will execute
an appropriate investment letter satisfactory to the Company and its counsel.
The Optionee further hereby agrees that as a condition to the purchase of shares
upon exercise of this Option, he will execute an agreement in a form acceptable
to the Company to the effect that the shares shall be subject to any
underwriter's lock-up agreement in connection with a public offering of any
securities of the Company that may from time to time apply to shares held by
officers and employees of the Company, and such agreement or a successor
agreement must be in full force and effect.
7. LEGENDS. The Optionee hereby acknowledges that the stock certificate or
certificates evidencing shares of Stock or other securities issued pursuant to
any exercise of this Option may bear a legend setting forth the restrictions on
their transferability described in Section 6 hereof, if such restrictions are
then in effect.
8. RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. The Optionee shall have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to any shares covered by this Option until the date of
issuance of a stock certificate to him for such shares. No adjustment shall be
made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the
date such stock certificate is issued.
9. TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF PLAN. The Board may terminate or amend the
Plan at any time. No such termination or amendment will affect rights and
obligations under this Option, to the extent it is then in effect and
unexercised.
10. EFFECT UPON EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Option or the Plan shall be
construed to impose any obligation upon the Company or any Subsidiary to employ
the Optionee or to retain the Optionee in its employ or to engage or retain the
services of the Optionee.
11. TIME FOR ACCEPTANCE. Unless the Optionee shall evidence his acceptance
of this Option by execution of the Schedule within thirty (30) days after its
delivery to him, the Option shall be null and void.
12. NOTICE OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION. The Optionee agrees to notify the
Company promptly in the event that he sells, transfers, exchanges or otherwise
disposes of any shares of
- 3 -
Xxxxx issued upon exercise of the Option before the later of (a) the second
anniversary of the date of grant of the Option and (b) the first anniversary of
the date the shares were issued upon his exercise of the Option.
13. RIGHT OF REPAYMENT. In the event that the Optionee accepts employment
with or provides services for a competitor of the Company within two (2) years
after the date of exercise of this Option or any portion of it, the Optionee
shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value
of the Stock as of the date of exercise over the price paid for such shares;
provided, however, that the Committee in its discretion may release the Optionee
from the requirement to make such payment, if the Committee determines that the
Optionee's acceptance of such employment or performance of such services is not
inimical to the best interests of the Company. The Company may deduct the amount
of payment due under the preceding sentence from any compensation or other
amount payable by the Company to the Optionee. For purposes of this Section 13,
the term "Company" refers to the Company and all Subsidiaries.

of the parties hereto of any provision hereof in any instance shall not
