liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of OfficeMax Incorporated pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, OfficeMax Incorporated has 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.&#160;
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by OfficeMax Incorporated of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of OfficeMax Incorporated 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, OfficeMax Incorporated will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question of 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.</font></p>

ITEM 6.                  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS

Section 146
of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes the company to indemnify its
directors and officers under specified circumstances.  Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by Delaware
law, our directors, officers, and employees against liability (including
expenses, judgments, and settlements) incurred by them in connection with any
actual or threatened action, suit, or proceeding to which they are or may
become parties and which arises out of their status as directors, officers, or
employees.  The company has agreements
with each director to indemnify him or her to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law.
3
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors and officers pursuant to the above provisions, we
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.
Our
directors and officers are insured, under insurance policies maintained by the
company, against expenses incurred in the defense of actions, suits, or
proceedings and certain liabilities that might be imposed as a result of such
actions, suits, or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or
having been directors or officers.

ITEM 9.                  UNDERTAKINGS.
(a)           The undersigned registrant 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)            Not applicable;
(ii)           Not applicable;
(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.
(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.
4
(3)           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(4)           Not applicable.
(5)           That, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of its annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 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.
(6)           Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of OfficeMax Incorporated pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, OfficeMax Incorporated has 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 OfficeMax Incorporated of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of OfficeMax Incorporated 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, OfficeMax Incorporated will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question of 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.
