or permit to be voted, any of such shares in favor of the removal of the LDI
Nominee under any other circumstances, except that each Principal shall have the
right to vote his respective shares in favor of the removal of such

director, (i) if such director shall have been convicted of (or entered a plea
of nolo contendere in connection with) a felony under state or federal law, (ii)
if such director commits an act of fraud or willful or gross misconduct with
respect to Alloy or (iii) if at the time of such vote LDI ceases to beneficially
own shares of Common Stock representing at least 10% of the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding.
(c) Concurrently with the Closing (as such term is defined in the Exchange
Agreement), the Principals shall use their respective best efforts (i) to cause
the Alloy Board to be expanded from 5 to 6 and (ii) to cause the vacancy created
thereby to be filled with the individual designated by LDI to serve in the class
of directors whose term expires in the year 2002.
(d) The obligation of each Principal to vote all of the shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by him in favor of the election to the Alloy Board of
