                                Exhibit to Form 4

Name and Address of Additional Reporting Persons:
------------------------------------------------

Inmobiliaria Carso, S.A. de C.V. ("Inmobiliaria") with the following address:

         Insurgentes Sur #3500, PB-4
         Pena Pobre, 14000
         Mexico D.F., Mexico

Mr. Carlos Slim Helu, Mr. Carlos Slim Domit, Mr. Marco Antonio Slim Domit, Mr.
Patrick Slim Domit, Ms. Maria Soumaya Slim Domit, Ms. Vanessa Paola Slim Domit
and Ms. Johanna Monique Slim Domit (collectively, the "Slim Family"), each with
the following address:

         Paseo de Las Palmas #736
         Colonia Lomas de Chapultepec, 11000
         Mexico D.F., Mexico

Explanation of Responses:
------------------------

During the month of October, Inmobiliaria did not effect any transactions
subject to Section 16 of the U.S. Securities Act, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"). As of October 31, 2000, Inmobiliaria had indirect beneficial ownership of
the 16,000,000 OfficeMax Shares then directly owned by its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Orient Star.

During the month of October, the Slim Family did not effect any transactions
subject to the Exchange Act. The Slim Family beneficially owns all of the
outstanding voting and equity securities of Inmobiliaria, and therefore each
member of the Slim Family may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of
the 16,000,000 OfficeMax Shares beneficially owned indirectly by Inmobiliaria
and owned directly by Orient Star.
