MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

Agreement made the 13th day of February 2001, as amended and restated the 19^th day of September 2005, between Strategic Partners Opportunity Funds (the Fund), a Delaware statutory trust, and Prudential Investments LLC, a New York limited liability company (the Manager).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Fund is a diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act); and

WHEREAS, the Fund desires to retain the Manager to render or contract to obtain as hereinafter provided investment advisory services to the Fund and its series, Xxxxxx Strategic Value Fund (individually and collectively with the Fund, referred to herein as the Fund) and the Fund also desires to avail itself of the facilities available to the Manager with respect to the administration of its day-to-day business affairs, and the Manager is willing to render such investment advisory and administrative services;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. The Fund hereby appoints the Manager to act as manager of the Fund and each series thereof, if any (each, a Portfolio) and as administrator of its business affairs for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Manager accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services herein described, for the compensation herein provided. Subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees of the Fund, the Manager is authorized to enter into a subadvisory agreement with Quantitative Management Associates LLC, or any other subadviser, whether or not affiliated with the Manager (each, a Subadviser), pursuant to which such Subadviser shall furnish to the Fund the investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund (each, a Subadvisory Agreement). Subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees of the Fund, the Manager is authorized to retain more than one Subadviser for the Fund, and if the Fund has more than one Subadviser, the Manager is authorized to allocate the Fund’s assets among the Subadvisers. The Manager will continue to have responsibility for all investment advisory services furnished pursuant to any Subadvisory Agreement. The Fund and Manager understand and agree that the Manager may manage the Fund in a “manager-of-managers” style with either a single or multiple subadvisers, which contemplates that the Manager will, among other things and pursuant to an Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): (i) continually evaluate the performance of each Subadviser to the Fund, if applicable, through quantitative and qualitative analysis and consultations with such Subadviser; (ii) periodically make recommendations to the Board as to whether the contract with one or more Subadvisers should be renewed, modified, or terminated; and (iii) periodically report to the Board regarding the results of its evaluation and monitoring functions. The Fund recognizes that a Subadviser’s services may be terminated or modified pursuant to the “manager-of-managers” process, and that the Manager may appoint a new Subadviser for a Subadviser that is so removed.

2. Subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, the Manager shall administer the Fund’s business affairs and, in connection therewith, shall furnish the Fund with office facilities and with clerical, bookkeeping and recordkeeping services at such office facilities and, subject to Section 1 hereof and any Subadvisory Agreement, the Manager shall manage the investment operations of the Fund and the composition of the Fund’s portfolio, including the purchase, retention and disposition thereof, in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions as stated in the Fund’s SEC registration statement, and subject to the following understandings:

(a) The Manager (or a Subadviser under the Manager’s supervision) shall provide supervision of the Fund’s investments, and shall determine from time to time what investments or securities will be purchased, retained, sold or loaned by the Fund, and what portion of the assets will be invested or held uninvested as cash.

(b) The Manager, in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, shall act in conformity with the Declaration of Trust of the Fund and the Fund’s SEC registration statement and with the instructions and directions of the Board of Trustees, and will conform to and comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act and all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations. In connection therewith, the Manager shall, among other things, prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) such reports as are, or may in the future be, required by the SEC.

(c) The Manager (or the Subadviser under the Manager’s supervision) shall determine the securities and futures contracts to be purchased or sold by the Fund and will place orders pursuant to its determinations with or through such persons, brokers, dealers or

futures commission merchants in conformity with the policy with respect to brokerage as set forth in the Fund’s registration statement or as the Board of Trustees may direct from time to time. In providing the Fund with investment supervision, it is recognized that the Manager (or the Subadviser under the Manager’s supervision) will give primary consideration to securing the most favorable price and efficient execution. Consistent with this policy, the Manager (or Subadviser under the Manager’s supervision) may consider the financial responsibility, research and investment information and other services provided by brokers, dealers or futures commission merchants who may effect or be a party to any such transaction or other transactions to which other clients of the Manager (or Subadviser) may be a party, the size and difficulty in executing an order, and the value of the expected contribution of the broker-dealer to the investment performance of the Fund on a continuing basis. The Manager (or Subadviser) to the Fund each shall have discretion to effect investment transactions for the Fund through broker-dealers (including, to the extent legally permissible, broker-dealers affiliated with the Subadviser(s)) qualified to obtain best execution of such transactions who provide brokerage and/or research services, as such services are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and to cause the Fund to pay any such broker-dealers an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker-dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the brokerage or research services provided by such broker-dealer, viewed in light of either that particular investment transaction or the overall responsibilities of the Manager (or the Subadviser) with respect to the Fund and other accounts as to which they or it may exercise investment discretion (as such term is defined in Section  3(a)(35) of the 1934 Act), are reasonable in relation to the amount of commission.

On occasions when the Manager (or a Subadviser under the Manager’s supervision) deems the purchase or sale of a security or a futures contract to be in the best interest of the Fund as well as other clients of the Manager (or the Subadviser), the Manager (or Subadviser), to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities or futures contracts to be so sold or purchased in order to obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. In such event, allocation of the securities or futures contracts so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Manager (or the Subadviser) in the manner it considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients.

(d) The Manager (or the Subadviser under the Manager’s supervision) shall maintain all books and records with respect to the Fund’s portfolio transactions and shall render to the Fund’s Board of Trustees such periodic and special reports as the Board may reasonably request.

(e) The Manager (or the Subadviser under the Manager’s supervision) shall be responsible for the financial and accounting records to be maintained by the Fund (including those being maintained by the Fund’s Custodian).

(f) The Manager (or the Subadviser under the Manager’s supervision) shall provide the Fund’s Custodian on each business day information relating to all transactions concerning the Fund’s assets.

(g) The investment management services of the Manager to the Fund under this Agreement are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Manager shall be free to render similar services to others.

(h) The Manager shall make reasonably available its employees and officers for consultation with any of the Trustees or officers or employees of the Fund with respect to any matter discussed herein, including, without limitation, the valuation of the Fund’s securities.

5. The Manager shall keep the Fund’s books and records required to be maintained by it pursuant to Paragraph 2 hereof.
