Narrative:
After level off at 10000 ft, I was asked to turn from 240 degrees to 270 degrees. TCASII had just given TA. I looked at TCASII and began to turn at the same time. As I turned I began to climb slowly to 10400. Altimeter alert sounded as I began my descent back to 10000 ft. TCASII alert distracted me somewhat.
