                                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 May, Inmobiliaria did not effect any transactions subject to
Section 16 of the U.S. Securities Act, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). As of
May 31, 2000, Inmobiliaria had indirect beneficial ownership of the 13,266,000
OfficeMax Shares then directly owned by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Orient
Star.

During the month of May, 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
13,266,000 OfficeMax Shares beneficially owned indirectly by Inmobiliaria and
owned directly by Orient Star.
