     L.P., on its own behalf and as agent for KKR Partners II, L.P. exercised
     in full a previously granted option (the "Option") to acquire 28,138,000
     shares of common stock of Borden, Inc. in consideration for 51,106,768
     shares of the identified class of securities comprised of 49,846,117
     shares owned of record by Whitehall Associates, L.P. and 1,260,651 shares
     owned of record by KKR Partners II, L.P.  In addition, upon the expiration

     Corp., a subsidiary of Whitehall Associates, L.P., for all of the

     class of securities.  In addition, Whitehall Associates, L.P. may be

     of January 1, 1995, Clifton S. Robbins, Scott M. Stuart, Perry Golkin and
     Edward A. Gilhuly are the general partners of KKR Associates, and in such
