PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

Iron Mountain Incorporated

        We store records, primarily paper documents and data backup media, and provide information management services that help organizations around the world protect their information, lower storage rental costs, comply with regulations, enable corporate disaster recovery and better use their information for business advantages, regardless of its format, location or lifecycle stage. We offer comprehensive records management services, data protection and recovery services and information destruction services, along with the expertise and experience to address complex storage and information management challenges such as rising storage rental costs, and increased litigation, regulatory compliance and disaster recovery requirements. Founded in an underground facility near Hudson, New York in 1951, we are a trusted partner to more than 155,000 clients throughout North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia Pacific. We have a diversified customer base consisting of commercial, legal, banking, healthcare, accounting, insurance, entertainment and government organizations, including more than 94% of the Fortune 1000.

        As of June 30, 2013, we operated over 1,000 facilities, comprising 65.0 million square feet, in 35 countries on five continents and employed over 20,000 people.

        Our principal executive offices are located at 745 Atlantic Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02111, and our telephone number is (617) 535-4766.

The Canadian Issuer

        The Canadian Issuer is an unlimited liability company under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Iron Mountain. The Canadian Issuer and its subsidiaries operate our storage and information management services businesses in Canada.

        In July 2013, certain of our Canadian operating subsidiaries, or the Amalgamated Entities, were amalgamated into the Canadian Issuer and, as part of our proposed conversion to a real estate investment trust, or a REIT, the Canadian Issuer contributed certain assets and liabilities into two newly-formed wholly owned entities, or the Canadian Subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the "Canadian Reorganization." The assets, liabilities, equity, results of operations and cash flows of the Amalgamated Entities, which were presented within the "Non-Guarantors" column within the "Selected Consolidated Financial Statements of Parent, Guarantors, Canada Company and Non-Guarantors" Note to our consolidated financial statements in prior periods, will be presented within the "Canada Company" column in future periods. The assets, liabilities, equity, results of operations and cash flows of the Canadian Subsidiaries, which were presented within "Canada Company" in prior periods, will now be presented within the "Non-Guarantors" column in future periods. On August 8, 2013, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K that included unaudited pro forma consolidating balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013 and unaudited pro forma statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 and six months ended June 30, 2013, which have been adjusted to give effect to the Canadian Reorganization to present the Amalgamated Entities as if they were within "Canada Company" for such periods and the Canadian Subsidiaries as if they were within "Non-Guarantors" for such periods.

        We have not included or incorporated by reference separate financial statements of the Canadian Issuer in this prospectus, as the financial statements incorporated by reference herein from our Annual Report include our consolidated financial statements, which presents information with respect to the Canadian Issuer, along with information with respect to Iron Mountain and the other Subsidiary Guarantors.

        The registered office of the Canadian Issuer is located at Suite 2600, Three Bentall Centre, 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V7X 1L3, Canada and its telephone number is (604) 631-3300.

You should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the information contained under the heading "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this prospectus or under any similar heading in any applicable prospectus supplement or in any document incorporated herein or therein by reference, any specific risk factors discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in any applicable prospectus supplement or in any document incorporated herein or therein by reference and the other information contained in, or incorporated by reference in, this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement before making an investment decision. If any such risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially harmed, the market price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        We have made statements in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein that constitute "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, other U.S. federal securities laws or "forward-looking information" as that term is defined under applicable securities laws in Canada (together, "forward-looking statements"). These forward-looking statements concern our operations, economic performance, financial condition, goals, beliefs, future growth strategies, investment objectives, plans and current expectations. The forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. When we use words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates" or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements.

        Although we believe that our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our expected results may not be achieved and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, among others, those set forth below. Please read carefully the information under "Risk Factors" beginning on page 2.

•

the cost to comply with current and future laws, regulations and customer demands relating to privacy issues;



•

the impact of litigation or disputes that may arise in connection with incidents in which we fail to protect our customers' information;



•

changes in the price for our storage and information management services relative to the cost of providing such storage and information management services;



•

changes in customer preferences and demand for our storage and information management services;



•

the adoption of alternative technologies and shifts by our customers to storage of data through non-paper based technologies;



•

the cost or potential liabilities associated with real estate necessary for our business;



•

the performance of business partners upon whom we depend for technical assistance or management expertise outside the United States;



•

changes in the political and economic environments in the countries in which our international subsidiaries operate;



•

claims that our technology violates the intellectual property rights of a third party;



•

changes in the cost of our debt;

Table of Contents

•

the impact of alternative, more attractive investments on dividends;



•

our ability or inability to complete acquisitions on satisfactory terms and to integrate acquired companies efficiently;



•

other trends in competitive or economic conditions affecting our financial condition or results of operations not presently contemplated; and



•

our proposed conversion to a REIT.

        Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements are described more fully in our most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K, including those described under the caption "Item 1A. Risk Factors," and other reports filed from time to time with the SEC and any prospectus supplement.

        These cautionary statements should not be construed by you to be exhaustive and they are made only as of the date of this prospectus. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements except as statements of our present intentions and of our present expectations, which may or may not occur. You should read these cautionary statements as being applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever they appear. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise. Readers are also urged to review carefully and consider the various disclosures we have made or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as well as our other periodic reports filed with the SEC.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

        The following table sets forth our consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated:

        The ratios of earnings to fixed charges presented above were computed by dividing our earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings have been calculated by adding fixed charges to income (loss) from continuing operations before provision for income taxes. Fixed charges consist of interest costs, the interest component of rental expense and amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs, but do not include interest expense related to uncertain tax positions. We did not have any shares of preferred stock outstanding during any of the periods presented above, and therefore our ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends are the same as the ratios of earnings to fixed charges presented above.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        Unless otherwise described in a prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities covered by this prospectus for general business purposes, which may include acquisitions, investments, the repayment of indebtedness outstanding at a particular time and the payment of distributions to our stockholders. Until we apply the proceeds from a sale of the securities covered by this prospectus for their stated purposes, we may invest those proceeds in short-term investments, including repurchase agreements, some or all or which may not be investment grade.

        The description below summarizes the more important terms of Iron Mountain's capital stock. We have previously filed with the SEC copies of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as amended. See "Where You Can Find More Information." You should refer to those documents for the complete terms of our capital stock. This summary is subject to and qualified by reference to the description of the particular terms of your securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

General

        Iron Mountain's authorized capital stock consists of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, as of August 7, 2013.

        The following is a summary of the general terms and provisions of the preferred stock that we may offer by this prospectus. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the shares of preferred stock offered through that prospectus supplement. We will file a copy of the certificate of designations that contains the terms of each new series of preferred stock with the SEC each time we issue a new series of preferred stock, and these certificates of designations will be incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each certificate of designations will establish the number of shares included in a designated series and fix the designation, powers, privileges, preferences and rights of the shares of such series as well as any applicable qualifications, limitations or restrictions. A holder of our preferred stock should refer to the applicable certificate of designations, our certificate of incorporation and the applicable prospectus supplement for more specific information.

        Our board of directors has been authorized, subject to limitations provided in our certificate of incorporation, to provide for the issuance of shares of our preferred stock in multiple series. No shares of our preferred stock are currently outstanding.

Table of Contents

        With respect to each series of our preferred stock, our board of directors has the authority to fix the following terms:

•

the title and liquidation preference per share of the series;



•

the number of shares within the series;



•

whether the shares are entitled to receive dividends and whether dividends are cumulative;



•

the rate of any dividends, any conditions upon which dividends are payable and the dates of payment of dividends;

any restrictions on issuance of shares in the same series or any other series;



•

the voting rights, if any, of that series; and



•

any other powers, preferences and relative, participating, option or other special rights of that series, and any qualifications and limitations of, and restrictions on, that series.

        In general, no holders of our preferred stock will be entitled to preemptive rights to subscribe for any shares of any class or series of our capital stock, except as may be provided in a certificate of designations or any agreement between us and our stockholders. We have no current plans to grant preemptive rights through any agreement with our stockholders. In addition, rights with respect to shares of our preferred stock will be subordinate to the rights of our general creditors. If we receive the appropriate payment, shares of our preferred stock that we issue will be fully paid and nonassessable.

        As described under "Description of Iron Mountain Depositary Shares," we may, at our option, elect to offer depositary shares evidenced by depositary receipts. If we elect to do this, each depositary receipt will represent a fractional interest in a share of the particular series of the preferred stock issued and deposited with a depositary. The applicable prospectus supplement will specify that fractional interest.

        We currently plan to use Computershare Shareowner Services LLC as the registrar and transfer agent of any series of our preferred stock.

Iron Mountain Common Stock

Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, there are no cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. In an uncontested election of directors, each director shall be elected by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes properly cast. In a contested election, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

        Dividend Rights and Limitations.    Holders of common stock will be entitled to receive ratably any dividends or distributions that our board of directors may declare from time to time out of funds legally available for this purpose.

        Miscellaneous.    All outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Our board of directors has the power to issue shares of authorized but unissued common stock without further stockholder action. The issuance of these unissued shares could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of currently outstanding shares of common stock. The holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.

        Reference is made to the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the common stock offered by that prospectus supplement for specific terms, including:

DESCRIPTION OF IRON MOUNTAIN DEPOSITARY SHARES

General

        As used in this section, "we", "us" or "our" refers to Iron Mountain Incorporated, and not any of its subsidiaries.

        The following is a summary of the material provisions of any deposit agreement and of the depositary shares and depositary receipts representing depositary shares. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. If you want more information, you should read the form of deposit agreement and depositary receipts which will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part prior to an offering of depositary shares. See "Where You Can Find More Information." This summary is also subject to and qualified by reference to the descriptions of the particular terms of our securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If indicated in a prospectus supplement, the terms of such securities may differ from those described below.

        We may, at our option, elect to offer fractional interests in shares of preferred stock, rather than whole shares of preferred stock. If we exercise this option, we will appoint a depositary to issue depositary receipts representing those fractional interests. Preferred stock of each series represented by depositary shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement between us and the depositary. The prospectus supplement relating to a series of depositary shares will show the name and address of the depositary. Subject to the terms of the applicable deposit agreement, each owner of depositary shares will be entitled to all of the distribution, voting, conversion, redemption, liquidation and other rights and preferences of the preferred stock represented by those depositary shares.

7

---

Table of Contents

        Depositary receipts issued pursuant to the applicable deposit agreement will evidence ownership of depositary shares. Upon surrender of depositary receipts at the office of the depositary, and upon payment of the charges provided in and subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, a holder of depositary shares will be entitled to receive the shares of preferred stock underlying the surrendered depositary receipts.

Distributions

        The depositary will be required to distribute all cash distributions received in respect of the applicable preferred stock to the record holders of depositary receipts evidencing the related depositary shares in proportion to the number of depositary receipts owned by such holders on the relevant record date, which will be the same date as the record date fixed by us for the distribution paid on the applicable series of preferred stock.

        If the distribution is other than in cash, a depositary will be required to distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary receipts entitled thereto, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. In that case, the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the holders.

        Depositary shares that represent shares of preferred stock converted or exchanged will not be entitled to distributions. The deposit agreement will also contain provisions relating to the manner in which any subscription or similar rights we offer to holders of the preferred stock will be made available to holders of depositary shares. All distributions will be subject to obligations of holders to file proofs, certificates and other information and to pay certain charges and expenses to the depositary.

Withdrawal of Shares of Preferred Stock

        You may receive the number of whole shares of preferred stock and any money or other property represented by your depositary receipts after surrendering the depositary receipts at the corporate trust office of the depositary. Partial shares of preferred stock will not be issued. If the depositary receipts that you surrender exceed the number of depositary shares that represent the number of whole shares of preferred stock you wish to withdraw, then the depositary will deliver to you at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares. Once you have withdrawn your shares of preferred stock, you will not be entitled to re-deposit those shares of preferred stock under the deposit agreement in order to receive depositary shares. We do not expect that there will be any public trading market for withdrawn shares of preferred stock.

Redemption of Depositary Shares

        If we redeem a series of the preferred stock underlying the depositary shares, the depositary will redeem those shares from the proceeds received by it. The depositary will mail notice of redemption not less than 30 and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption to the record holders of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares we are redeeming at their addresses appearing in the depositary's books. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per share payable with respect to the series of the preferred stock. The redemption date for depositary shares will be the same as that of the preferred stock. If we are redeeming less than all of the depositary shares, the depositary will select the depositary shares we are redeeming by lot or pro rata as the depositary may determine.

        After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed outstanding. All rights of the holders of the depositary shares and the related depositary receipts will cease at that time, except the right to receive the money or other property to which the holders of depositary shares were entitled upon redemption. Receipt of the money or other property is

subject to surrender to the depositary of the depositary receipts evidencing the redeemed depositary shares.

Voting of the Preferred Stock

        Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the applicable preferred stock are entitled to vote, a depositary will be required to mail the information contained in the notice of meeting to the record holders of the applicable depositary receipts. Each record holder of depositary receipts on the record date, which will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock, will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of preferred stock represented by the holder's depositary shares. If you do not instruct the depositary how to vote your shares, the depositary will abstain from voting those shares. The depositary will not be responsible for any failure to carry out an instruction to vote or for the effect of any such vote made so long as the action or inaction of the depositary is in good faith and is not the result of the depositary's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Liquidation Preference

        Upon our liquidation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of depositary shares will be entitled to the fraction of the liquidation preference accorded each share of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Conversion or Exchange of Shares of Preferred Stock

        The depositary shares will not themselves be convertible into or exchangeable for common stock, preferred stock or any of our other securities or property. Nevertheless, if so specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the depositary receipts may be surrendered by holders to the applicable depositary with written instructions to it to instruct us to cause conversion or exchange of the preferred stock represented by the depositary shares. Similarly, if so specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may require you to surrender all of your depositary receipts to the applicable depositary upon our requiring the conversion or exchange of the preferred stock represented by the depositary shares. We will agree that, upon receipt of the instruction and any amounts payable in connection with the conversion or exchange, we will cause the conversion or exchange using the same procedures as those provided for delivery of preferred stock to effect the conversion or exchange. If you are converting or exchanging only a part of the depositary shares, the depositary will issue you a new depositary receipt for any unconverted or unexchanged depositary shares.

Taxation

        As an owner of depositary shares, you will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if you were a holder of the shares of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares. Therefore, you will be required to take into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes income and deductions to which you would be entitled if you were a holder of the underlying shares of preferred stock. In addition:

•

no gain or loss will be recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the withdrawal of shares of preferred stock in exchange for depositary shares provided in the deposit agreement;



•

the tax basis of each share of preferred stock issued to you as exchanging owner of depositary shares will, upon exchange, be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the depositary shares exchanged for the shares of preferred stock; and

9

---

Table of Contents

•

if you held the depositary shares as a capital asset at the time of the exchange for preferred stock, the holding period for shares of the preferred stock will include the period during which you owned the depositary shares.

Amendment and Termination of a Deposit Agreement

        We and the applicable depositary are permitted to amend the provisions of the depositary receipts and the deposit agreement. However, the holders of at least a majority of the applicable depositary shares then outstanding must approve any amendment that adds or increases fees or materially and adversely alters the rights of holders. Every holder of an outstanding depositary receipt at the time any amendment becomes effective, by continuing to hold the receipt, will be bound by the applicable deposit agreement, as amended.

        Any deposit agreement may be terminated by us upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice to the applicable depositary if a majority of each series of preferred stock affected by the termination consents to the termination. When a deposit agreement is terminated, the depositary will be required to deliver or make available to each holder of depositary receipts, upon surrender of the depositary receipts held by the holder, the number of whole or fractional shares of preferred stock as are represented by the depositary shares evidenced by the depositary receipts, together with any other property held by the depositary with respect to the depositary shares. In addition, a deposit agreement will automatically terminate if:

•

all depositary shares have been redeemed;



•

there shall have been a final distribution in respect of the related preferred stock in connection with our liquidation and the distribution has been made to the holders of depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares underlying the preferred stock; or



•

each of the shares of related preferred stock shall have been converted or exchanged into securities not represented by depositary shares.

Charges of a Depositary

        We will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of a deposit agreement. In addition, we will pay the fees and expenses of a depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the shares of preferred stock and any redemption of the shares of preferred stock. However, holders of depositary receipts will pay any transfer taxes or other governmental charges and the fees and expenses of the depositary, including any duties the holders request to be performed that are outside of those expressly provided for in the applicable deposit agreement.

Resignation and Removal of Depositary

        A depositary may resign at any time by delivering to us notice of its election to do so. In addition, we may at any time remove a depositary. Any resignation or removal will take effect when we appoint a successor depositary and it accepts the appointment. We must appoint a successor depositary within 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal. A depositary must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million.

Miscellaneous

        The depositary will be required to forward to holders of depositary receipts any reports and communications from us that it receives with respect to the related preferred stock. Holders of depositary receipts will be able to inspect the transfer books of the depositary and the list of holders of depositary receipts upon reasonable notice.

        Neither we nor the depositary will be liable if the depositary is prevented from or delayed in performing its obligations under a deposit agreement by law or any circumstances beyond its control. Our obligations and those of the depositary under a deposit agreement will be limited to performing duties in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither we nor the depositary will be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any depositary receipts, depositary shares or related preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. We and the depositary will be permitted to rely on written advice of counsel or accountants, on information provided by persons presenting preferred stock for deposit, by holders of depositary receipts or by other persons believed in good faith to be competent to give the information, and on documents believed in good faith to be genuine and signed by a proper party.

        If the depositary receives conflicting claims, requests or instructions from any holders of depositary receipts, on the one hand, and us, on the other hand, the depositary shall be entitled to act on the claims, requests or instructions received from us.

DESCRIPTION OF IRON MOUNTAIN WARRANTS

        As used in this section, "we", "us" or "our" refers to Iron Mountain Incorporated, and not any of its subsidiaries.

        The following is a summary of the material terms of our warrants and the warrant agreement. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. If you want more information, you should read the forms of warrants and the warrant agreement which will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See "Where You Can Find More Information." This summary is also subject to and qualified by reference to the descriptions of the particular terms of our securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If indicated in a prospectus supplement, the terms of such securities may differ from those described below.

        We may issue, together with any other securities being offered or separately, warrants entitling the holder to purchase from or sell to us, or to receive from us the cash value of the right to purchase or sell, debt securities, shares of preferred stock, depositary shares or shares of common stock. We and a warrant agent will enter a warrant agreement pursuant to which the warrants will be issued. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants. We will file a copy of the forms of warrants and the warrant agreement with the SEC at or before the time of the offering of the applicable series of warrants.

        In the case of each series of warrants, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the warrants being offered thereby. These include the following, if applicable:

•

the offering price;



•

the currencies in which such warrants are being offered;



•

the number of warrants offered;

        Warrants may be exercised at the appropriate office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Before the exercise of warrants, holders will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable upon exercise and will not be entitled to payments made to holders of those securities.

DESCRIPTION OF THE STOCK PURCHASE CONTRACTS AND THE STOCK PURCHASE UNITS

        As used in this section, "we", "us" or "our" refers to Iron Mountain Incorporated, and not any of its subsidiaries.

        We may issue contracts obligating holders to purchase from us, and us to sell to the holders, a specified number of shares of common stock at a future date or dates, which we refer to herein as "stock purchase contracts." The price per share of common stock and the number of shares of common stock may be fixed at the time the stock purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula set forth in the stock purchase contracts. The stock purchase contracts may be issued separately or as part of units consisting of a stock purchase contract and debt securities or debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. treasury securities, which secure the holders' obligations to purchase the common stock under the stock purchase contracts. We refer to these units herein as "stock purchase units." The stock purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations thereunder in a specified manner. The stock purchase contracts also may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the stock purchase units or vice versa, and such payments may be unsecured or refunded on some basis.

        The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the stock purchase contracts or stock purchase units. The description in the applicable prospectus supplement will not necessarily be complete, and reference will be made to the stock purchase contracts, and, if applicable, collateral or depositary arrangements, relating to the stock purchase contracts or stock purchase units. If material, we will discuss in the applicable prospectus supplement U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the stock purchase units and the stock purchase contracts offered by such prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND
IRON MOUNTAIN'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS

        As used in this section, "we", "us" or "our" refers to Iron Mountain Incorporated, and not any of its subsidiaries.

        Iron Mountain is organized as a Delaware corporation. The following is a summary of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and certain provisions of Delaware law, in each case as currently in effect. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. If you want more information, you should read our entire certificate of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which we have previously filed with the SEC, see "Where You Can Find More Information," or refer to the provisions of Delaware law.

12

---

Table of Contents

        Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain some provisions that could delay or make more difficult the acquisition of us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions, as described below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us first to negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals because, among other things, negotiations with respect to such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Section 203 of The Delaware General Corporation Law

        We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL. Subject to specific exceptions, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless:

•

the business combination, or the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder, is approved by our board of directors prior to the time the interested stockholder attained that status;



•

upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or



•

at or after the time a person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

        "Business combinations" include mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to various exceptions, in general an "interested stockholder" is a person that, together with his or her affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock.

Other Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

        Our bylaws provide that a vacancy on the board of directors, including a vacancy created by an increase in the size of the board of directors by the directors, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, or by a sole remaining director, or by the stockholders, and each person so elected shall be a director to serve for the balance of the unexpired term of the directors. In addition, our bylaws provide that, in an uncontested election of directors, each director shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. In a contested election, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Under the DGCL, any director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at the election of directors.

        Our bylaws also provide that a majority of votes cast by the shares present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting of stockholders and entitled to vote thereat shall decide any

13

---

Table of Contents

question (other than the election of directors) brought before such meeting, except in any case where a larger vote is required by the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws or otherwise.

        Certain other provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could have the effect of preventing or delaying any change in control of us, including:

•

the advance notification procedures imposed on stockholders for stockholder nominations of candidates for the board of directors and for other stockholder business to be conducted at annual or special meetings;



•

the absence of authority for stockholders to call special stockholder meetings; and



•

the absence of authority for stockholder action by unanimous or partial written consent in lieu of an annual or special meeting.

        These provisions and statutory anti-takeover provisions, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, control of us.

        Our certificate of incorporation includes provisions eliminating the personal liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and our bylaws include provisions indemnifying our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though a derivative action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, the value of investments in our securities may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

        The organizational documents and the DGCL provide similar indemnification for the officers and directors of certain of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        We may sell the securities under this prospectus from time to time, in one or more of the following ways:

•

to or through one or more underwriters or dealers;



•

in short or long transactions;



•

directly to investors;



•

through agents; or



•

through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

        If we use underwriters or dealers in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters or dealers for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including:

•

in privately negotiated transactions;



•

in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time;



•

in "at the market offerings," within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise;



•

at prices related to those prevailing market prices; or

14

---

Table of Contents

•

at negotiated prices.

        We, and our underwriters, dealers or agents, reserve the right to accept or reject all or part of any proposed purchase of the securities. We will set forth in a prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, the terms and offering of securities, including:

•

the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents;



•

any agency fees or underwriting discounts or commissions and other items constituting agents' or underwriters' compensation;



•

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;



•

details regarding over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us, if any;



•

the purchase price of the securities being offered and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;



•

the public offering price; and



•

the securities exchanges on which such securities may be listed, if any.

        We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions from time to time. If the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, if any, indicates, in connection with those derivative transactions, such third parties (or affiliates of such third parties) may sell securities covered by this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and pricing supplement, if any, including in short sale transactions. If so, such third parties (or affiliates of such third parties) may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivative transactions to close out any related open borrowings of securities. The third parties (or affiliates of such third parties) in such sale transactions will be underwriters and will be identified in an applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment).

        We may loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus, an applicable prospectus supplement and an applicable pricing supplement, if any. Such financial institution or third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a simultaneous offering of other securities offered by this prospectus.

        Underwriters, Agents and Dealers.    If underwriters are used in the sale of our securities, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions described above. The securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by underwriters. Generally, the underwriters' obligations to purchase the securities will be subject to conditions precedent and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of the securities. We may use underwriters with which we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, the nature of any such relationship.

        We may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase our securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for solicitation of these contracts.

        Underwriters, dealers and agents may contract for or otherwise be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with

15

---

Table of Contents

respect to payments made by the underwriters, dealers or agents, under agreements between us and the underwriters, dealers and agents.

        We may grant underwriters who participate in the distribution of our securities an option to purchase additional securities to cover over-allotments, if any, in connection with the distribution.

        Underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from us or our purchasers, as their agents in connection with the sale of our securities. These underwriters, dealers or agents may be considered to be underwriters under the Securities Act. As a result, discounts, commissions or profits on resale received by the underwriters, dealers or agents may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions. The prospectus supplement will identify any such underwriter, dealer or agent and describe any compensation received by them from us. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

        Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment transactions, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short-covering transactions involve purchases of our securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. We make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect these transactions may have on the price of our securities. For a description of these activities, see the information under the heading "Underwriting" in the applicable prospectus supplement.

        Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who may become involved in the sale of our securities may engage in transactions with and perform other services for us for which they receive compensation.

        Direct Sales.    We may also sell securities directly to one or more purchasers without using underwriters or agents. In this case, no agents, underwriters or dealers would be involved. We may sell securities upon the exercise of rights that we may issue to holders of our securities. We may also sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities.

        Trading Market and Listing of Securities.    We will make applications to list any shares of common stock sold pursuant to a supplement to this prospectus on the NYSE. We have not determined whether we will list any of the other securities we may offer on any national exchange or over-the-counter market, and any such listing will be disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in a class or series of securities, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for any of the securities.

LEGAL MATTERS

        Sullivan & Worcester LLP, Boston, Massachusetts, will pass upon the validity of the debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock, warrants, guarantees, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units. Certain legal matters with respect to the validity of the Canadian Issuer's debt securities will be passed upon for the Canadian Issuer and Iron Mountain by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Toronto, Ontario and Vancouver, British Columbia, with respect to matters of Canadian law.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 14.    Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

        Set forth below is an estimate (except in the case of the registration fee) of the amount of fees and expenses to be incurred in connection with the issuance and distribution of the offered securities registered hereby, other than underwriting discounts and commission, if any, incurred in connection with the sale of the offered securities. All such amounts will be borne by the registrants.

        These expenses represent an estimate of the expenses we expect to incur in connection with the preparation and filing of this registration statement. Other expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of securities to be offered hereunder are contingent on the number of offerings and cannot reasonably be estimated at this time.

Item 15.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Iron Mountain Incorporated

        Iron Mountain Incorporated, or Iron Mountain or the Company, is a Delaware corporation. Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, permits a corporation to include a provision in its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for certain breaches of the director's fiduciary duty, except (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) the payment of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions or (4) transactions from which the director received an improper personal benefit. Our certificate of incorporation eliminates the liability of directors to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law.

        Section 145 of the DGCL, or Section 145, authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against certain liabilities (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and expenses) they may incur in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, or a derivative action), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Section 145 also provides that such persons have a right to indemnification against expenses where they have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of such actions. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. Section 145 empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any directors, officers, employees and agents, against any liability asserted against such person and

incurred by such person in any such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145.

        Section 145 provides that the indemnification provided thereby is not exclusive of any other indemnification rights that may exist under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

        Article 12 of the Company's bylaws provides indemnification to directors and officers for all actions taken by them and for all failures to take action to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law against all expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by them in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (including, without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Company), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. Article 12 also permits the Company, by action of its board of directors, to indemnify employees and other agents of the Company to the same extent as directors and officers. Amendments, repeals or modifications of Article 12 can only be prospective and no such change may reduce the limitations of director's liability or limit indemnification or advancement of expenses unless adopted by the unanimous vote of all of the directors then serving or the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote in elections of directors. Article 12 further permits the Company to maintain insurance, at its expense, for the benefit of any person on behalf of whom insurance is permitted to be purchased by Delaware law against any such expenses, liability or loss.

        Reference is made to our bylaws, filed as Exhibit 3.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 5, 2010. Reference is also made to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, filed as Exhibit 3.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The Canadian Issuer

        Part 20 of the Canadian Issuer's articles of association, or Part 20, provides that, subject to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), or the BCBCA, the Canadian Issuer must indemnify a director or former director of the Canadian Issuer, or an Eligible Party, and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all judgments, penalties or fines awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement of, a legal proceeding or investigative action (current, threatened, pending or completed) in which such person is or may be joined as a party or liable, by reason of the Eligible Party being or having been a director of the Canadian Issuer. The Canadian Issuer must, after the final disposition of the eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. Part 20 specifies that each director is deemed to have contracted with the Canadian Issuer on the terms of this indemnity.

        Part 20 provides that subject to the BCBCA, the Canadian Issuer may indemnify any person. The failure of a director or officer to comply with the BCBCA or the Canadian Issuer's articles of association does not invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled under Part 20. Part 20 further permits the Canadian Issuer to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of certain specified persons, including directors and officers, against any liability incurred by such persons.

        The foregoing provisions are generally consistent with Sections 160, 161 and 165 of the BCBCA, and Section 164 of the BCBCA contemplates court-ordered indemnification. Section 163(1) of the BCBCA prohibits indemnification if (1) in relation to the subject matter of the eligible proceeding, the Eligible Party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Canadian Issuer or an associated corporation or (2) in the case of an eligible proceeding other than a civil proceeding, the Eligible Party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that their conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful. Pursuant to Section 163(2) of the BCBCA, the Canadian Issuer cannot indemnify, or pay the expenses of, an Eligible Party in respect of a proceeding brought against such Eligible Party by or on behalf of the Canadian Issuer or an associated corporation.

Item 17.    Undertakings

        (a)   Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:



(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;



(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and



(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Table of Contents

provided, however, the paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.



(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.



(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:



(i)

Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and



(ii)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or



(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrants will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

Table of Contents

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned registrants;



(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrants or their securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants; and



(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrants to the purchaser.

        (b)   The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Iron Mountain's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        (d)   Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, or the Act, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.
