("Registrant") provide that Registrant will indemnify its officers and directors
for certain  damages and  expenses  that may be incurred in the  performance  of
their duty to Registrant.  No  indemnification is provided,  however,  when such
person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the  performance

upon application.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) to file,  during  any  period in which  offers or sales  are being  made,  a
post-effective amendment to the registration statement:

     (i)  to  include  any  prospectus  required  by  Section  10(a)(3)  of  the
          Securities Act of 1933;

     (ii) to reflect in the  prospectus  any facts or events  arising  after the
          effective  date of the  registration  statement  (or the  most  recent
          post-effective  amendment  thereof  )  which,  individually  or in the
          aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
          in the registration statement;

     (iii)to  include  any  material  information  with  respect  to the plan of
          distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
          any material change to such information in the registration statement;
          and

provided,  however,  that  paragraphs  (1)(i)  and  (1)(ii)  do not apply if the
information  required  to be  included in a  post-effective  amendment  by those
paragraphs  is  contained  in periodic  reports  filed with or  furnished to the
Commission  by  Registrant  pursuant  to Section  13 or 15(d) of the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are  incorporated  by  reference  in the  registration
statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining  any liability under the Securities Act
of  1933,  each  such  post-effective  amendment  shall  be  deemed  to be a new
registration  statement  relating to the  securities  offered  therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof;

(3) To remove from  registration by means of a  post-effective  amendment any of
the securities  being  registered  which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities  arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the
registrant,  Allstate  Life  Insurance  Company  of New  York,  pursuant  to the
foregoing provisions,  or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  such  indemnification  is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,  unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for  indemnification  against such liabilities  (other
than the  payment by  registrant  of  expenses  incurred  or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered,  the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by  controlling
precedent,  submit to a court of appropriate  jurisdiction  the question whether
such  indemnification  by it is  against  public  policy  as  expressed  in  the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

RE:               FORM S-3 REGISTRATION STATEMENT
                  UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933

         With  reference  to the  Registration  Statement  on Form S-3  filed by
Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York (the "Company"), as registrant, with
