         Component be awarded to remaining Eligible Personnel.  The CEO will
         approve Second Component awards to all employees except Section 16
         Insiders.  The Compensation Committee will approve Second Component
         allocations to Section 16 Insiders.  Any amounts not awarded will not
         be reallocated to other participants.

VI.      APPROVAL, TIMING AND PAYMENT

         A.  The Interim Management Bonus Plan will become final after approval
         by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  Final
         approval of Section 16 Insider participants rests with the
         Compensation Committee.

         B.  Awards will be made by November 15, 1996.  Fifty percent (50%) of
         any amount awarded pursuant to Section V.  in excess of $5,000 will be
         deferred until November 15, 1997.  The deferred amount will be
         increased or decreased by a factor determined by the ratio of the
         average closing price of ALW stock for the months of June, July, and
         August 1997, to the average closing price of ALW stock for the months
         of June, July, and August 1996.

         C.  Any Eligible Person tendering a resignation or whose employment is
         terminated for cause prior to any payment date forfeits all unpaid
         bonus.  The Compensation Committee shall determine whether an
         authorized leave of absence, sickness, disability or absence on
         military or government service constitutes termination of the
         employment relationship between the Company and employee.  In the
         event of an Eligible Person's death before the end of the Current Plan
         Year, the Eligible Person shall be included in the bonus calculation
         for the Current Plan Year.  For the purpose of the Bonus Pool, death
         will not be considered an event of termination of employment. The
         Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, in its sole
         discretion, has the authority to amend this Interim Management Bonus
         Plan or to change the participation herein at any time prior to the
         awarding of bonuses as provided in this paragraph VI.B.

VII.     MISCELLANEOUS

         A.      Non-Transferability

                 Interests under this Interim Management Bonus Plan shall not
                 be transferable by a participant except by will or the laws of
                 descent and distribution (or to a beneficiary designated in
                 accordance with procedures specified by the Company) or, if
                 then permitted under Rule 16 b-3, pursuant to a qualified

B.       Compliance With Rule 16a-1(c)(3)(i)

                 It is the intent of the Company that interests under this Plan
                 not constitute "derivative securities" within the meaning of
                 Rule 16a-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
                 amended, by virtue of the exclusion under Rule 16a-1(c)(3)(i).
                 Accordingly, if any provisions of this Interim Management
                 Bonus Plan or any related document relating to a participant
                 who is a Section 16 Insider does not comply with the
                 requirements of the Rule 16a-1(c)(3)(i) exclusion, such
                 provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent
                 necessary to conform to such requirements.
