EXHIBIT C

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These General Terms and Conditions were prepared for incorporation into the
Paper Purchase Agreement to which this Exhibit C is appended (the "Agreement").
They are intended to apply as if fully set forth in the Agreement; provided that
if anything in this Exhibit C is inconsistent with the express terms of the
Agreement, the terms of the Agreement shall control.

1.    Safety and Security Requirements. Whenever the provision of goods or
services under the Agreement requires a party to be on the property of the other
party, each party shall observe all reasonable security and safety procedures or
requirements imposed by the other party on third parties providing like goods or
services.

2.    Standards of Performance.

2.1    In Respect of Goods. The quality of all goods supplied by Boise to
OfficeMax shall be at least commercially equal to the quality of that grade of
goods that Boise is selling to others.

2.2    In Respect of Services. All services supplied by either party to the
other shall be performed in accordance with the same standard of care that the
supplying party observes in providing similar services to other customers.

2.3    Disclaimer of Implied Warranties. EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES IN
RESPECT OF GOODS OR SERVICES SUPPLIED BY IT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT THAT ARE
IMPLIED BY LAW OR BY THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES SET
FORTH IN SECTION 2.1. THIS DISCLAIMER SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO NEGATE OR LIMIT
ANY WARRANTY OF TITLE OR RIGHT TO SELL IMPLIED BY LAW OR CUSTOM OF TRADE AND
EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY WARRANTS, IN RESPECT OF ALL GOODS TO BE SOLD, THAT IT WILL
HAVE AND WILL CONVEY TO OFFICEMAX GOOD AND MERCHANTABLE TITLE TO SUCH GOODS AND
THAT IT WILL WARRANT AND DEFEND SUCH TITLE AGAINST THE CLAIMS OF ALL PERSONS
WHATSOEVER.

2.4    Limitation of Liability. Neither party shall be liable for any
incidental, indirect, special, collateral, consequential, exemplary, or punitive
damages, or lost profits arising from a breach of warranty or any other part of
this Agreement. In respect of services, the remedy for failure to meet the
standards of service shall be that the party providing the service shall be
required to reperform the service without charge. In respect of goods, without
limiting the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 2.4, the remedy
for failure of the goods to conform to the quality specifications set forth in
the Agreement shall be as provided in the Uniform Commercial Code as in force
from time to time in the state of Delaware and as specifically set forth in the
Agreement.

C- 1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.    Dispute Resolution. The Dispute Resolution Process set forth in Section 5
shall apply to all disputes which may arise between the parties or their
respective subsidiaries or affiliates with regard to course-of-performance
disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. Such disputes are referred
to as "Covered Disputes.” In case of other disputes, the parties may pursue any
and all remedies under applicable law or equity.

4.    Dispute Resolution Process.

4.1    Limitation. The procedures provided for by this Agreement shall not apply
to any Covered Dispute unless and until either party shall have given written
notice to the other party invoking this Agreement. Such notice shall specify, in
reasonable detail, the dispute to which it is intended to apply. Such dispute is
referred to as the "Noticed Dispute." The effective date of delivery of such
notice is referred to as the "Notice Date."

4.2    Negotiation. Within 5 days after the Notice Date, each party shall
designate, in writing to the other party, the name of one of its senior
executive officers who shall be its "Designated Representative" in the dispute
resolution process. Designation by either party of its Designated Representative
shall constitute a representation by such party that its Designated
Representative has full power and authority to resolve the Noticed Dispute.
Within 15 days after the Notice Date, each party shall have delivered to the
Designated Representative of the other party a written statement of its
position. Between 30 and 45 days after the Notice Date, the Designated
Representatives shall meet, discuss, and negotiate with respect to the Noticed
Dispute for a period not to exceed 10 days.

If the parties are unable to settle the Noticed Dispute through negotiations by
the 45th day following the Notice Date, they shall mutually appoint a neutral
third‑party arbitrator. If the parties are unable to agree upon the neutral
third‑party arbitrator by the 50th day following the Notice Date, either party
may obtain the appointment of a neutral third‑party arbitrator by the Chief
Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

4.3    Arbitration. Within 10 days after appointment of the neutral arbitrator,
each party shall submit a written statement to the neutral arbitrator and to the
other party advocating its position, and each party may, within ten days after
receipt of the other party's statement, submit to the neutral arbitrator and the
opposing party one rebuttal statement. Opening statements shall be no longer
than 30 pages of 8½” by 11" paper, and rebuttal statements shall be limited to
15 pages of 8½” by 11" paper unless otherwise mutually agreed. Within 20 days
after submission of the rebuttal statement, on a date and at a place set by the
neutral arbitrator, the Designated Representatives shall meet with the neutral
arbitrator to negotiate and resolve the Noticed Dispute. Each Designated
Representative may make an oral presentation to the neutral arbitrator. The
Designated Representatives of both parties shall be present for such
presentations and shall be available at the same location on the following day
for arbitrator‑sponsored negotiations. If the parties are unable to reach a
settlement of the Noticed Dispute, the neutral arbitrator shall, within 20 days
thereafter, deliver in writing to each party his or her recommended settlement
of the Noticed Dispute. Within ten days after receipt of the neutral
arbitrator's recommended settlement, the parties' Designated Representatives
shall meet at a time and place set by the neutral arbitrator and make a final
attempt to resolve the Noticed Dispute. If they are unable to do so, the
arbitrator shall make a final decision which shall be final and binding upon the
parties.

C- 2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.4    Confidentiality.

4.4.1    Each party shall treat all statements, written submissions, and other
disclosures made by the other in the course of efforts to resolve the Noticed
Dispute (collectively, "Settlement Information") as confidential information and
shall make no disclosure of the Settlement Information to any third party (other
than its employees and officers involved in the Noticed Dispute and its counsel
and other consultants providing advice in respect of the Noticed Dispute), and
it shall require all persons to whom it is permitted to disclose such
information to make a similar nondisclosure commitment for the benefit of and
enforceable by the party providing such information. Such nondisclosure
obligation shall remain in effect for a period of five years from the date of
disclosure.

4.4.2    Prior to commencing the arbitration process, the parties shall require
the neutral arbitrator to sign a confidentiality agreement in which he or she
commits, for the benefit of and on a basis which is enforceable by each party
and its respective Affiliates, that he or she will hold the Settlement
Information confidential and not disclose it to any party other than the
parties, their respective Affiliates, counsel, and advisors and agents involved
in the Noticed Dispute, except under order of disclosure by a court of competent
jurisdiction or pursuant to a written authorization signed by the party or
parties providing the Settlement Information which is to be disclosed.

4.5    Fees and Expenses. The parties shall each cover their own costs and fees
associated with the dispute resolution process provided for in this Agreement.
The fees and expenses of the neutral arbitrator shall be divided equally by the
parties.

4.6    Scope of Obligation; Specific Performance. The parties agree to utilize
the settlement procedures outlined above in a good‑faith effort to provide for a
speedy and economical means of resolving disputes. However, the parties agree
that neither party shall be in default or in breach hereof for failure to adhere
to any of the procedures outlined above except that (i) compliance with the
procedures hereof, in full, when and as required shall be a condition precedent
to the other party's obligation to continue its participation in the negotiation
and arbitration process; and (ii) either party may obtain an order of specific
performance in respect of the other party's obligations hereunder.

5.    Force Majeure. The term "Force Majeure" shall mean any flood, storm,
earthquake, or other act of God, fire, explosion, labor dispute, civil
disturbance, military action, shortage of labor or stores, issuance of directive
by any legal authority asserting jurisdiction over either of the parties which
directive purports to prohibit the performance of any material part of the
duties of that party, or other event beyond the control of the party claiming
Force Majeure, which event or directive prevents performance by a party or makes
performance commercially impracticable.

Each party shall promptly notify the other if there is Force Majeure. Such
notice shall describe the Force Majeure, the corrective action to be taken, if
any, and the estimated time of the Force Majeure interruption. If either party
is prevented from performing any of its obligations hereunder, in whole or in
part by reason of Force Majeure, it shall be excused from performance for so
long as and to the extent that Force Majeure shall so prevent its performance.

C- 3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.    Events of Default.
6.1    Payment Defaults. If either party fails to pay any amount owed by it when
due, such sum shall earn interest from the date on which it is due at a rate
equal to ten percent per annum. Such interest shall be payable on demand. If
either party fails to pay any amount owed (including interest accruing under the
preceding sentence) within 30 days after its receipt of written demand
therefore, the other party shall have the right, in addition to any other right
provided under applicable law or this Agreement for such breach, to terminate
this Agreement, or to suspend its performance until payment of such delinquent
sum is made in full. Complaints or claims by a party under this Agreement
regarding standards of performance or quality will be subject to the dispute
resolution provisions hereunder, but in no event will excuse a party from paying
the purchase price for delivered goods in full when due.

6.2    Nonpayment Defaults. If either party commits any breach of this
Agreement, other than those described in Section 6.1 above, or if either party
commits any of the breaches described in such section on a repeated basis so as
to materially frustrate the reasonable business expectations of the other party
in respect of this Agreement, the other party may, if such breach is not cured
within 60 days after the complaining party gives notice of such breach to the
party in breach, terminate this Agreement. Such remedy shall be in addition to
any other remedy which may be available under applicable law or the terms hereof
for such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the nature of the breach
complained of is such that its cure may be reasonably expected to take more than
60 days to execute, no right to terminate shall accrue so long as the party in
breach shall have commenced its efforts to effect a cure and shall be diligently
pursuing such efforts.

7.    Confidentiality. The parties hereby covenant and agree to hold in trust
and maintain confidential all Confidential Information relating to the other
party or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential
Information" shall mean all information disclosed by either party to the other
in connection with this Agreement, whether orally, visually, in writing, or in
any other tangible form, including but not limited to product pricing,
technical, economic, and business data, records, know‑how, flow sheets,
drawings, business plans, computer information databases, inventions, processes,
and the like, including but not limited to, the terms of this Agreement. The
parties shall not divulge Confidential Information to third parties without the
prior written consent of the other party except:

7.1    When such information has become a matter of public knowledge without
wrongful action by the disclosing party;

7.2    When such information was in the possession of the party obligated to
maintain confidentiality prior to its receipt thereof by the other party; and

7.3    When such disclosure is required by law; provided that if either party is
involved in litigation or an administrative proceeding in which a third party is
requesting disclosure of Confidential information, it shall promptly notify the
disclosing party of such fact so as to permit the disclosing party to appear in
such proceeding to protect its interest in nondisclosure of such Confidential
Information; and

C- 4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.4    Boise may disclose this Agreement and related Confidential Information to
its financing sources provided that such sources sign an agreement agreeing to
keep the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement confidential.

terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been duly given or made if given

C- 5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9.    Insurance and Indemnity. At all times while Boise continues to be a vendor
to OfficeMax, Boise shall purchase and maintain a commercial general liability
(occurrence) policy, which policy shall include coverage for premises and
operations; products and completed operations; contractual liability; broad form
property damage, and personal injury liability. The policy shall have a combined
single limit for bodily injury and property damage of $5,000,000 each
occurrence; $5,000,000 aggregate for products/completed operations; and
$5,000,000 general aggregate. Umbrella/Excess limits may be used to comply with
the general liability limit requirements. Boise's insurance company must have a
minimum A.M. best Rating of A-VII or better. Insurance carried by Boise will be
primary to any insurance carried by OfficeMax. Any other insurance or
self-insurance maintained by Boise shall be in excess of and not contribute to
Boise's insurance.

As soon as possible (January 1 for all succeeding years), Boise shall deliver to
OfficeMax, or OfficeMax's designee per written instruction, a certificate from
Boise's insurer evidencing the required coverage and naming OfficeMax
Incorporated, its subsidiaries, affiliates, corporate parent, directors,
officers, and employees as additional insured's with respect to liability or any
claims of liability arising out of the sale of products to OfficeMax, including
the design and manufacture thereof. The certificate shall provide on its face
that the policies it represents will not be terminated, amended, or allowed to
expire without 30 days' prior written notice to OfficeMax; and such certificate
shall further provide on its face that the policies it represents contains a
severability of interests clause, generally providing, “the insurance afforded
applies separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is
brought, except with respect to the limits of the company's liability”. Failure
of OfficeMax to demand such certificate or other evidence of full compliance
with these insurance requirements or failure of OfficeMax to identify a
deficiency from evidence that is provided shall not be construed as a waiver of
Vendor's obligation to maintain such insurance.

Boise further agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless OfficeMax, its
subsidiaries, affiliates, corporate parent, directors, officers, and employees
from and against all causes of action, claims, liabilities, costs, and expenses
of any kind, whether actual or alleged, including court costs and attorneys
fees, arising out of or related to any products or goods sold by Boise to
OfficeMax, except where such claim is wholly attributable to the fault of
OfficeMax.

10.    Waiver of Subrogation. Each party waives all rights that each might now
or hereafter have against the other, its subsidiaries, or affiliates or against
the officers, directors, or employees of any of the foregoing to the extent that
the loss so waived is compensated by the property damage insurance required
hereby or in fact carried by the party suffering such loss (without regard to
any deductible or risk retention feature of such insurance).

11.    Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their
successors and assigns, but no party shall make any sale, assignment, or other
transfer of all or any portion of its rights hereunder without the prior written
consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
provided, however, that Boise may assign this Agreement without OfficeMax'
consent upon the sale of all, or substantially all, of its paper manufacturing
assets provided that the party purchasing such assets expressly agrees in
writing to assume and fully perform all of Boise's obligations hereunder. In the
event of any

C- 6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

restructuring or reorganization of OfficeMax, or sale of all or a substantial
portion of the assets or the business of OfficeMax, this Agreement will continue
to be binding upon OfficeMax and will also become binding on any additional
entity which acquires all or a substantial portion of OfficeMax's business (but,
in the case of such additional entity, only with respect to the portion of the
OfficeMax business it acquires).

12.    Severability and Renegotiation. If any part of this Agreement is found to
be illegal, void, or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity, or
unenforceability shall not extend beyond the part affected, and unaffected parts
of this Agreement will continue in full force and will be binding on the
parties. Should any term or provision of this Agreement be found invalid by any
court or regulatory body having jurisdiction thereover, the parties shall
immediately use their best efforts to renegotiate such term or provision of the
Agreement to eliminate such invalidity.

13.    Independent Contractor. In performing services under this Agreement, each
party shall act solely as an independent contractor; neither party nor any of
its employees or agents shall be treated as or deemed to be employees of the
other. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership,
agency, joint venture, or employer‑employee relationship between the parties.
Neither party shall hold itself out or otherwise represent itself to any person
or entity as anything other than an independent contractor of the other party.

14.    Right of Offset. All debts and obligations of OfficeMax and Boise to each
other are mutual and subject to setoff. For purposes of this paragraph,
“OfficeMax” and “Boise” shall be deemed to include each party's respective
subsidiaries and affiliates which directly or indirectly control or are
controlled by that party.

15.    Nonwaiver. Any waiver, at any time, by any part of its rights, remedies,
duties, and/or obligations with respect to any matters arising in connection
with this Agreement, shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right, remedy,
duty, and/or obligation with respect to such matter or with respect to any
subsequent matter.

16.    Choice of Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed,
interpreted, and enforced under the laws of the state of Delaware, without
regard to its choice of law rules. The courts of the state of Delaware and
federal courts sitting therein shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and
settle litigation in respect of this Agreement or, subject to the last sentence
of this section, any litigation that arises between the parties. In any suit
between the parties or their Affiliates; each party hereby consents to receive
service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is doing business, including
without limitation, the state of its incorporation, provided that such service
of process is issued by a federal or state court of general jurisdiction sitting
in Delaware. This Section 19 shall not apply in respect of any cross claim
brought in any litigation initiated by a person other than a party or one of its
Affiliates in a jurisdiction other than Delaware.

17.    Captions. All indices, titles, subject headings, and similar items in
this Agreement are provided for the purpose of reference and convenience and are
not intended to be inclusive, definitive, or to affect the meaning of the
content or scope of this Agreement.

18.    Interpretation. As used in this Agreement, the masculine gender shall
include the feminine or neuter gender, and the plural shall include the singular
wherever appropriate.

C- 7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

19.    Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument
signed by the senior most executive of each party. No failure of any party to
insist upon strict performance of obligations owed it hereunder by the other
party shall waive or release such party's right to insist on strict performance
of such obligation in the future.

20.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more duplicate
counterparts and upon such execution shall be considered a single document as
though each party had executed the same counterpart.

21.    Audits. Each party shall have the right to audit the other party's books
and accounts to verify volumes, costs, pricing and price adjustments pursuant to
this Agreement once per year. Such audits shall be conducted at the expense of
the party requesting the audit.

22.    Entire Agreement. The terms and provisions herein contained constitute
the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all agreements, either
verbal or written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement.

23.    Brand Ownership. Boise shall own the brand names of all products sold
under this Agreement that are produced by Boise, except for the OfficeMax brand
names.
