Exhibit 10.81  RELOCATION REPAYMENT AGREEMENT
GROUP MOVE  THIS AGREEMENT entered
into this 10th day of November 2005, by and between OfficeMax,
Incorporated (Company) and Ryan Vero (Employee).  W I T N E S S E T H:  WHEREAS, Company
currently employs Employee at Companys Shaker Heights Retail Support Center
facility; and  WHEREAS, Company and Employee
have agreed that Employee will be relocated to Companys corporate headquarters
located in Illinois; and  WHEREAS, in order to
relocate Employee, substantial expenditures will be required by Company (Relocation
Costs); and  NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of Companys incurring Relocation Costs on Employees behalf and
for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which
is hereby acknowledged, Company and Employee agree as follows:  1.Company and
Employee agree that Employee will relocate to the Companys corporate
headquarters in Illinois.  2.Company will
provide and pay for Relocation Costs as specified in the Group Move Relocation
Program, a copy of which has been provided to Employee (the Relocation Program).
Either Company or its third party provider will confirm with Employee the
Relocation Costs that the Company will provide, prior to Employees relocation.  3.If Employee
voluntarily terminates his/her employment within twelve (12) months of the date
Employee permanently relocates their office to the new location in Illinois,
Employee agrees to reimburse Company for 100% of the Relocation Costs paid to
Employee by the Company in connection with Employees relocation to the
corporate headquarters in Illinois. Employee hereby agrees to reimburse Company
in full within thirty (30) days after the date Employee terminates his/her
employment with Company. Except as may be specifically prohibited by law,
Employee authorizes Company to deduct Relocation Costs paid to Employee by the
Company from any sums of money for wages or other compensation otherwise due
Employee upon Employees termination of employment. If Employee fails to make
payment when due, Employee agrees to pay Company interest on the Relocation
Costs at 7% per annum until paid in full. In addition, if this Agreement is
given to a collection agency, an attorney, including an in-house attorney, or
is collected through bankruptcy or other judicial proceeding, Employee agrees
to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs,
expenses and court costs, in addition to any other amounts due.  Employee
understands and agrees that upon their termination of employment for any reason
whatsoever, any mortgage subsidy provided by the Company as part of the
Relocation Program will immediately cease upon their termination, or notice of
termination, of employment, regardless whether such termination was voluntary
or involuntary.  4.If Employee is
terminated for disciplinary reasons within twelve (12) months of the date
Employee permanently relocates their office to the new location, Employee
hereby agrees to make full payment within thirty (30) days of the date of
termination, reimburse Company 100% in full for all Relocation Costs. Repayment
terms are the same as set forth in Section 3.  5.This Agreement
is not intended to modify the at-will relationship between Company and
Employee, nor does it create an employment contract between Company and
Employee.  6.If any section
or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be void or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in part, the remaining
sections and provisions of this Agreement, or their remaining portions, will
nevertheless continue with full force and effect, and Employee agrees that a
court of competent jurisdiction will have jurisdiction to reform such provision
to the extent necessary to cause it be to enforceable to the maximum extent
permitted by law, and Employee agrees to be bound by such reformation.  7.The failure of
Company to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be construed as a
waiver of any such provision, nor prevent Company thereafter from enforcing
such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.


DEDUCTION AUTHORIZATION  To facilitate repayment
of any money owed as a result of my relocation, (e.g., equity advances, taxes,
etc.), Employee authorizes OfficeMax, Incorporated to deduct any Relocation
Costs paid to Employee in connection with their relocation to Illinois for
which Employee has not reimbursed the Company from any sums of money for wages
or other compensation otherwise due to Employee upon their termination of employment.  Employee understands they
will receive advance, written notice containing the details of the outstanding
relocation balances due and owing to the Company, along with the repayment
schedule for payroll deductions. If Employee chooses they can write a check to
the Company for the entire amount due, and no deductions will appear on future
paycheck(s).   ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED   /s/ Ryan
