          Whitehall Associates, L.P. and KKR Partners II, L.P. are Delaware
     limited partnerships whose sole general partner is KKR Associates, a New
     York limited partnership.  On December 21, 1994, Whitehall Associates,
     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
     of an exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer") made by Borden Acquisition
     Corp., a subsidiary of Whitehall Associates, L.P., for all of the
     outstanding shares of common stock of Borden, Inc., on December 21, 1994,
     Whitehall Associates, L.P. accepted, on its own behalf and as agent for
     KKR Partners II, L.P., 90,131,307 shares of common stock of Borden, Inc.
     in exchange for 206,532,285 shares of the identified class of securities
     comprised of 201,437,753 shares owned of record by Whitehall Associates,
     L.P. and 5,094,532 shares owned of record by KKR Partners II, L.P.  

          As a result of the exercise of the Option and the Exchange Offer, the

     shares of the identified class of securities and the record ownership of
     KKR partners II, L.P. decreased to 7,377,817 shares of the identified
     class of securities.  In addition, Whitehall Associates, L.P. may be
     deemed to be a controlling shareholder of Borden, Inc. and therefore may
     be deemed to beneficially own the 51,106,768 shares of the identified
     class of securities owned of record by Borden, Inc.  As the sole general
     partner of each of Whitehall Associates, L.P. and KKR Partners II, L.P.,
     KKR Associates may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of
     350,233,951 shares of the identified class of securities, including 20,474
     shares of which it is the record holder.  Henry R. Kravis, George R.
     Roberts, Paul E. Raether, Robert I. MacDonnell, Michael W. Michelson, Saul
     A. Fox, James H. Greene, Jr. and Michael T. Tokarz and, beginning as 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
     capacity may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of any securities
