1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF GLOBAL. Global hereby represents and
warrants to the Plaintiffs as follows:

validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware,
with the requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as it
is now being conducted and to own, use and operate its properties and assets as
currently conducted. Global is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation
and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its
business or its ownership or leasing of its property requires such
qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified, individually or in
the aggregate, does not and would not have a material adverse effect on the
business, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of
Global or on the ability of Global to perform its obligations hereunder.
(b) POWER AND AUTHORITY. Global has the requisite power and authority
to enter into and deliver or file (as the case may be) this Agreement, the New
Notes (as hereinafter defined), the Supplement (as hereinafter defined) and each
other agreement, instrument and document executed and delivered or deliverable
in connection herewith (collectively, the "TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS"), and to carry
out and perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. Each Transaction
Document executed or filed by Global, when executed, delivered or filed, will
have been duly and validly authorized, executed, delivered and filed by Global
and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Global, enforceable
against Global in accordance with its terms.
(c) OWNERSHIP OF THE PLEDGED SHARES; HOLDING PERIODS.
(i) Global is the record and beneficial owner of not less than

trusts and other encumbrances (collectively, the "ENCUMBRANCES"), except for the
Encumbrances created in favor of Plaintiffs. Except as provided in the Stock
Pledge Agreement (the "STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT") entered into by Global and the
Plaintiffs in connection with the October Purchase Agreement, there are no
agreements or understandings between Global and any other person or entity with
respect to the Encumbrance, sale or transfer of the Pledged Shares. Concurrently

preferred stock on March 15, 1999, and (B) 13,800 shares of USW's series B
preferred stock on April 5, 1999. These shares of preferred stock were
subsequently converted into 1,620,000 shares of common stock of USW on March 15,
2000 and 1,380,000 shares of common stock of USW on April 5, 2000. Pursuant to
Rule 144(d)(3)(ii) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

Global on March 15, 1999 and April 5, 1999, as the case may be.
(iii) As stated in Section 3(b) hereof, Global has defaulted
under the terms of the October Note. Accordingly, under Rule 144(d)(3)(iv)
promulgated under the Securities Act, each of Advantage and Koch will be deemed
to have acquired the Pledged Shares being delivered to it pursuant to Section
3(b) hereof on March 15, 1999 and April 5, 1999, as the case may be.
(d) NO CONFLICT. The execution and delivery by Global of the
Transaction Documents and the consummation by Global of the transactions
contemplated thereby, do not and will not (i) conflict with, result in a breach
of, or constitute a default under or violation of, (1) Global's Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws (each as amended through the date hereof), (2) any law,
statute, rule, regulation or decree of any governmental authority to which
Global is subject, (3) any contract, agreement, understanding or instrument to
which Global is a party or is bound, or (4) any order, decree or judgement of
any court, administrative body, arbitrator or governmental authority binding
upon Global or its assets (other than the TRO, unless the TRO has been
previously dissolved), or (ii) result in the creation of any Encumbrance upon
the Pledged Shares.
(e) CONSENTS. No consent, approval or authorization of, or exemption
from, or filing with, any governmental authority or any third party is required
to be obtained by or made by Global in connection with the execution, delivery
and performance by Global of the Transaction Documents, except (i) as have been
obtained, (ii) the filing of the Supplement with the SEC (which will occur
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Global), and
