3.1 The Employee must not have notified Iron Mountain (whether orally or in writing) of his intention to terminate employment with Iron Mountain for any reason (including, by way of illustration and not limitation, voluntary resignation, normal retirement or early retirement) prior to Iron Mountain’s announcement of the proposed Qualifying Termination and effective as of a date within three months of the proposed Qualifying Termination (other than a notice provided by the Employee in the case of a termination for Good Reason).

3.2 The Employee must not be on any statutorily protected leave of absence or otherwise absent from work and must be regularly performing services for Iron Mountain as of the date of the Qualifying Termination.

3.3 No Severance Benefits will be paid or provided under this Addendum unless the Employee has signed and timely returned, and not revoked, if applicable, a "Separation and Release Agreement" and an "Employee Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement", each in a form satisfactory to Iron Mountain.

3.4 Unless required otherwise under applicable Luxembourg law, Severance Pay will be paid in equal instalments over the Severance Period in accordance with the Employee’s regular payroll intervals prior to the Qualifying Termination and will be subject to applicable withholding.

3.6 If the Employee is later rehired by Iron Mountain, he may keep whatever Severance Pay has been paid prior to being rehired, but will lose any right to unpaid Severance Pay.

3.7 It may be necessary to delay one or more of the payments otherwise due hereunder to avoid adverse income tax consequences. The Administrator will notify the Employee in the event this is necessary.

Article 4: Severance Arrangements

4.1 Severance Pay

The amount of Severance Pay payable if the Employee experiences a "Qualifying Termination" is based on the Employee’s "Base Salary" and "Target Bonus Payment," and the "Severance Period," each as defined herein or below.

a) One year's salary continuation

If the Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination, he will receive an amount equal to fifty-two weeks of Base Salary or that number of weeks that remain between the Qualifying Termination and a previously announced termination date by the Employee.

b) Bonus Payment

If the Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination, he will also receive a Target Bonus Payment equal to the amount of the annual target bonus that would have been paid had he remained employed for the entire year of termination multiplied by his average pay-out percentage based upon financial performance and individual performance goals over the prior three years (or full years of employment if not employed for a full three years). The Employee refers to his Incentive Compensation Plan document for specific component details when applicable. (If the annual bonus for the year of termination has not yet been determined as of the Employee’s termination, the annual target bonus for the prior year shall be used.)

Example: Assuming the Employee is eligible for an annual bonus for 2013 equal to 60% of his Base Salary, which is currently $500,000. Over the last three years, the Employee has received a 90% payout. the Employee is terminated October 19, 2013. the Employee is entitled to a bonus of $270,000 ($500,000 [Base Salary] times 60% [bonus amount] times 90% [three-year payout percentage]).

4.2 Other Benefits

4.2.1 As long as the Employee who experiences a Qualifying Termination has not breached the "Separation and Release Agreement" and the "Employment Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement" and provided the Employee elects to continue "the Company's International Medical Insurance Plan", Iron Mountain will continue to pay the employer share of the cost of coverage in accordance with standard payment practices until the end of the applicable Severance Period. The Employee must continue to pay the employee share of the cost of coverage during the Severance Period.

4.2.2 If the Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination, he is eligible for outplacement services through a provider selected by Iron Mountain for a period of nine months following termination.

4.3 Accelerated Vesting of Certain Equity Compensation

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any equity compensation plan, agreement thereunder or amendment to either, if the Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination, outstanding equity-based awards shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3.

a) In the case of outstanding stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, the award shall be credited with an additional twelve months of vesting service as of the date of the Qualifying Termination.

b) In the case of outstanding performance units that are earned based on the performance criteria applicable to the award, the Employee shall be credited with an additional twelve months of service solely for purposes of applying the following schedule:

Date Relationship Terminates	Vesting Percentage
On or after first anniversary of Grant Date	33.3%
On or after second anniversary of Grant Date	66.6%
On or after third anniversary of Grant Date	100%

An example of the application of the above schedule is shown in Annex 1 to this Addendum.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any Performance Unit Agreement to the contrary, vesting acceleration as a result of this Section 4.3(b) shall not accelerate the date on which the “underlying shares” (as defined in any such Performance Unit Agreement) shall be delivered, which date shall remain the initially established “vesting date” (as defined in any such Performance Unit Agreement). In no event will any performance units that have not been “earned” in accordance with the terms of the award be delivered.

c) In the event of any acceleration of vesting under this Section 4.3 as well as upon a change in control (including a Vesting Change in Control) under any of Iron Mountain’s equity compensation plans, duplicative vesting service shall not be credited (but the most generous of any multiple vesting service crediting provisions shall apply).

Article 5: Time and Manner of Payment

5.1 Payments of Severance Pay will be made in equal instalments over the Severance Period in accordance with Iron Mountain’s regular payroll intervals applicable to the Employee immediately prior to the Qualifying Termination. Such payments will commence as of the first regular payroll date following the Qualifying Termination; provided, however, that no payment will be made earlier than the sixtieth day following a Qualifying Termination and provided, further, that any applicable revocation period will have expired before any payment.

5.2 All Severance Benefits shall be subject to applicable federal, state, local and other tax withholding as required by law.

5.3 Any payments due hereunder for Severance Pay shall be reduced by any other severance or termination payment due to the Employee, including, by way of illustration and not limitation, any amounts paid pursuant to federal, state or local government worker notification or office closing requirements, any amounts paid pursuant to a SUB Pay Plan, any amounts owed the Employee pursuant to a contract with Iron Mountain and amounts paid to the Employee when placed in a temporary layoff status (often referred to as a furlough), which immediately precedes the commencement of Severance Benefits hereunder. In addition, to the extent any federal, state or local government regulation provides for payments related to accrued wages, bonuses, commissions, reimbursements, vacation pay or other benefits in an amount or manner different from Iron Mountain’s policies and programs, including this Plan, any payments hereunder for Severance Pay shall be offset by such amounts.

5.4 If the Employee is reinstated, he will not be required to reimburse Iron Mountain or an Acquirer for any payments received hereunder prior to being rehired. Any unpaid Severance Pay will be forfeited upon the Employee's rehire by Iron Mountain or an Acquirer.¹ 

5.5 If the Employee receives payments hereunder for Severance Pay he shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any such payments by seeking other employment or otherwise, and subject to rehire, no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation provided to the Employee in any subsequent employment.

5.6 In addition to the Severance Benefits under this Plan, the Employee who experiences a Qualifying Termination shall be entitled to: (a) accrued wages due through the date of the Qualifying Termination in accordance with Iron Mountain’s normal payroll practices; (b) any accrued but unused vacation pay; and (c) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by the Employee prior to the date of the Qualifying Termination in accordance with Iron Mountain’s policy (and for which the Participant has submitted any required documentation). In addition, when the Employee is subject to a commission plan or arrangement he shall receive all commissions properly earned, but not yet paid, in accordance with the terms of such plan or arrangement. All payments shall be subject to proper tax withholding.

5.7 Iron Mountain may deduct (after all applicable tax withholdings have been deducted) from payments hereunder any indebtedness, obligation or liability owed by the Employee as of his date of termination, as permitted under applicable law.

Article 6: Applicable law

This Addendum to the Employment Contract is governed by Luxembourg law and any dispute concerning the interpretation, execution and/or termination of this Addendum must be resolved under Luxembourg law.

^{______________________________________} 

¹ Note, however, that any vesting acceleration is not "recouped."

Article 7: Administrator's rights

The Administrator retains the right to amend the provisions of this Addendum but no amendment shall diminish the rights of the Employee hereunder as they may exist immediately before the effective date of the amendment without the written consent of the Employee.

Article 8: Severability

If any provision of this Addendum or part of a provision is declared null and void or contrary to a mandatory legal provision in force, the remaining provisions of this Addendum shall not be automatically made null and void and shall consequently retain their validity.

Article 9: Existing agreements - Luxembourg law provisions

This Addendum to the Employment Contract replaces and supersedes the provisions of all existing agreements relating to severance arrangements concluded between the Employee and the Company (including but not limited to the First Addendum) without prejudice, however, to the Luxembourg mandatory and/or public order rules and provided that if the Employee's severance rights or benefits under an existing agreement or under Luxembourg law are more favourable to the Employee than those provided under this Addendum, the provisions of the existing agreement or the provisions of Luxembourg law shall prevail.

All provisions of the Employment Contract not amended by this Addendum, shall remain unamended and in force.
