                          AMENDMENT, WAIVER AND JOINDER
                        TO REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

(this  "Agreement")  is made and  entered  into as of April 8, 1999 by and among
Iron Mountain  Incorporated,  a Delaware  corporation (the  "Company"),  John J.
Luger, Donna M. Luger, Mary Ann Montandon,  George F. Luger and Lisa Luger Frey,
as co-trustees of the Lisa Luger Frey GST Trust,  Mary Ann Montandon,  George F.
Luger and Tanya Luger Paszkeicz, as co-trustees of the Tanya Luger Paszkeicz GST
Trust,  Mary  Ann  Montandon,  George  F.  Luger  and  John J.  Luger,  Jr.,  as
co-trustees  of the John J. Luger,  Jr. GST Trust,  and Mary Ann  Montandon  and
George F. Luger, as co-trustees of the Justin T. Luger GST Trust  (collectively,
the "Sellers"),  and each of the stockholders  party to the Registration  Rights
Agreement (as defined below) signatory hereto (the "Existing Stockholders").

         WHEREAS,  the Company and  certain of its  Stockholders  are parties to
that certain Amended and Restated  Registration  Rights  Agreement,  dated as of
June 12, 1997, as heretofore supplemented (the "Registration Rights Agreement");

         WHEREAS,  in  accordance  with  the  terms of the  Registration  Rights
Agreement,  the  Company  and the  Sellers  desire  to admit  the  Sellers  as a
Stockholder (this and other capitalized terms used herein without definition are
used with the meanings given to such terms in the Registration Rights Agreement)
under the Registration Rights Agreement;

         WHEREAS, the Company, the Sellers and Data Base, Inc. are party to that
certain  Stock  Purchase  Agreement,  dated as of February  28, 1999 (the "Stock
Purchase  Agreement"),  pursuant  to which  the  Company  has  agreed  to file a
registration   statement  (the  "Resale   Registration   Statement")  under  the
Securities Act and Rule 415 promulgated thereunder pursuant to which the Sellers
may sell  shares of Common  Stock to be  issued to the  Sellers  under the Stock
Purchase Agreement ("Acquisition Shares"); and

         WHEREAS, the Company has informed the Existing  Stockholders that it is
contemplating  an  underwritten  public  offering of shares of its Common  Stock
pursuant  to its  Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-3  (No.  333-44185)  (the
"Universal  Shelf"),  and that it may use a portion of the net  proceeds of such
offering to fund the repurchase of all or a portion of the  Acquisition  Shares,
in addition to or in lieu of filing the Resale Registration Statement;

         NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the recitals, the mutual covenants
and agreements herein contained, and other valuable consideration,  the receipt,
adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby  acknowledged,  the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

         1. The Stock  Purchase  Agreement  shall be an "Equity  Agreement"  for
purposes of the Registration  Rights Agreement.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,
only the  Acquisition  Shares to be issued to the  Sellers  thereunder  shall be
"Registrable Securities" for purposes of the Registration Rights Agreement.

         2.  Each  Seller   hereby  (i)  joins  in  and  becomes  party  to  the

<PAGE>



Stockholder under the Registration Rights Agreement,  and (iii) agrees that such
Seller  shall not assign such  Seller's  rights  under the  Registration  Rights
Agreement  other than as  expressly  permitted  by Section  9(a) to the contrary
therein.  For  the  avoidance  of  doubt,  the  Sellers  collectively  shall  be
considered a "Significant  Stockholder" for purposes of the Registration  Rights
Agreement.

         3. Pursuant to Section 1(b) of the Registration  Rights Agreement,  the
Sellers as a  Significant  Stockholder  shall have the right to demand  that the
Company effect registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities held by
the Sellers  pursuant to said Section 1(b) on one occasion;  provided,  however,
that such  demand may not be made  until the first  anniversary  of the  closing
under the Stock  Purchase  Agreement  unless the Company has not  consummated  a
public offering (the "Primary Offering") on or before the date which is 270 days
after the  closing in respect of which  either (i) the  Sellers  have  piggyback
registration  rights under Section 1(a) of the Registration  Rights Agreement or
(ii)  (a) the  Company  offers  to the  Sellers  to apply a  portion  of the net
proceeds  from the  Primary  Offering to acquire  the  Acquisition  Shares (at a
purchase price equal to the public  offering price less  underwriting  discounts
and  commissions)  and (b) the Company  repurchases  not less than  seventy-five
percent (75%) of the Acquisition  Shares that the Sellers have agreed to sell to
the  Company  at the  public  offering  price less  underwriting  discounts  and
commissions, in which case the Sellers shall be entitled to exercise such demand
on or after the 271st day following such closing.

         4. Notwithstanding  anything in the Registration Rights Agreement,  the
rights of the Sellers under the Registration  Rights Agreement will terminate on
the sixth anniversary of the date hereof.

         5. Section 8 of the Registration  Rights Agreement is hereby amended by
adding the following  definitions to be inserted in  alphabetical  order in such
section:

         "Data Base Agreement" shall mean that certain Stock Purchase  Agreement
dated as of February 28, 1999 among the Company, the Luger Stockholders and Data
Base, Inc.

         "Luger Stockholders" shall mean John J. Luger, Donna M. Luger, Mary Ann
Montandon, George F. Luger and Lisa Luger Frey, as co-trustees of the Lisa Luger
GST Trust,  Mary Ann Montandon,  George F. Luger and Tanya Luger  Paszkeicz,  as
co-trustees of the Tanya Luger Paszkeicz GST Trust,  Mary Ann Montandon,  George
F. Luger and John J. Luger,  Jr., as co-trustees  of the John J. Luger,  Jr. GST
Trust,  and Mary Ann Montandon and George F. Luger, as co-trustees of the Justin
T. Luger GST Trust.

         "Shelf  Registration  Statement"  shall mean a  registration  statement
under the Securities Act to register a maximum aggregate  offering amount of the
Company's  securities,  including the Common Stock, to be offered by the Company
from  time  to  time  on a  delayed  basis,  including  without  limitation  its
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-44185) .

         6. Section 1(a) of the Registration  Rights Agreement is hereby amended
by adding the following sentence as the last sentence in clause (iii) of Section
1(a): "Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, until the earlier to occur of (i)
the first  anniversary  of the closing under the Data Base  Agreement,  (ii) the
consummation,  after the  closing  under the Data  Base  Agreement,  of a public
offering of Common Stock by the Company in respect of which Stockholders had an

                                       -2-

opportunity to include  Registrable  Securities pursuant to this Section 1(a) or
(iii) the  consummation,  after the closing under the Data Base Agreement,  of a
public  offering  of Common  Stock by the Company  effected  pursuant to a Shelf
Registration  Statement  in respect of which the Company  shall have  offered to
apply a  portion  of the net  proceeds  of  which  to  acquire  from  the  Luger
Stockholders  the  Registrable  Securities  held by the Luger  Stockholders at a
purchase price equal to the public  offering price less  underwriting  discounts
and commissions  (it being  understood that (w) the Company shall be entitled to
sell all shares of Common  Stock it  desires  for its  account  prior to selling
shares of Common Stock to satisfy its offer to repurchase Registrable Securities
from the Luger  Stockholders,  (x) if the Luger Stockholders  accept such offer,
the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell a sufficient  quantity
of Common  Stock in such  offering to provide for the shares of Common  Stock it
intended to sell for its own account as well as to repurchase  such  Registrable
Shares from the Luger Stockholders, subject, however, to downsizing the offering
upon receipt from the  underwriters  of an opinion of the type  referenced to in
the  immediately   preceding  sentence,   (y)  notwithstanding  such  offer  and
acceptance or agreement to use reasonable best efforts, the Company shall not be
required  to  consummate  such  offering  and it may,  at any time  prior to the
closing of such  offering,  determine  not to offer the  securities to which the
Shelf Registration Statement relates without liability to the Luger Stockholders
and (z) if the  Company,  due to any such  downsizing,  is unable to  acquire at
least 75% of the Registrable  Securities that the Luger  Stockholders  agreed to
sell to the Company at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and
commissions,  then this clause (iii) shall not be deemed to have been  satisfied
until the Company shall have  consummated  an additional  offering under a Shelf
Registration  Statement  that  satisfies the conditions set forth in this clause
(iii) and this parenthetical,  other than clause (z) of this parenthetical),  in
the event of any  limitation  on the  number  of  shares  of Common  Stock to be
imposed on Stockholders,  the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in
such  offering by  Stockholders  shall be included in the following  order:  (i)
first,  the  Registrable  Securities  held by the  Luger  Stockholders  and (ii)
second,  pro rata among the holders of  Registrable  Securities,  other than the
Luger  Stockholders  based on the value (based upon the proposed public offering
price) of the respective numbers or amount of Registrable Securities as to which
registration has been requested by such Stockholders."

         7.  Section  5(a)(i) is hereby  amended and restated in its entirety to
read as follows:

                  "(i) shall continue until the later to occur of the following:
         (A) such time as  Sullivan &  Worcester  LLP or other  counsel  for the
         Company   knowledgeable   in  securities  law  matters  and  reasonably
         acceptable to such  Stockholder  has delivered a written opinion to the
         Company and such Stockholder (or group of related  Stockholders) to the
         effect that such  Stockholder has no further  obligation to comply with
         the  registration  requirements  of the  Securities Act or to deliver a
         prospectus   meeting  the  requirements  of  Section  10(a)(3)  of  the
         Securities Act in connection with further sales by such  Stockholder of
         Registrable  Securities,  and (B) such Stockholder owns less than 3% of
         the outstanding Common Stock and is able to sell all of the Registrable
         Securities  owned by him pursuant to the  provisions  of Rule 144 under
