W I T N E S S E T H
- - - - - - - - - -
WHEREAS, American Skandia Advisor Funds, Inc. (the "Company") is a Maryland corporation organized with one or more series
of shares and is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "ICA"); and
WHEREAS, the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser each is an investment adviser registered under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"); and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Directors") has engaged the Investment Manager to act as investment
manager for the XXXX Xxxxx All-Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund"), one series of the Company, under the terms of a management
agreement with the Company, dated May 1, 2003 (the "Management Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Investment Manager, acting pursuant to the Management Agreement, wishes to engage the Sub-Adviser, and the
Directors have approved the engagement of the Sub-Adviser, to provide investment advice and other investment services set
forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser agree as follows:
1. Investment Services. The Sub-Adviser will formulate and implement a continuous investment program for the Fund
--------------------
conforming to the investment objective, investment policies and restrictions of the Fund as set forth in the Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information of the Company as in effect from time to time (together, the "Registration
Statement"), the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, and any investment guidelines or other
instructions received by the Sub-Adviser in writing from the Investment Manager from time to time. Any amendments to the
foregoing documents will not be deemed effective with respect to the Sub-Adviser until the Sub-Adviser's receipt
thereof. The appropriate officers and employees of the Sub-Adviser will be available to consult with the Investment
Manager, the Company and the Directors at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice concerning the business of the
Company, including valuations of securities which are not registered for public sale, not traded on any securities market
or otherwise may be deemed illiquid for purposes of the ICA; provided it is understood that the Sub-Adviser is not
responsible for daily pricing of the Fund's assets.
Subject to the supervision and control of the Investment Manager, which in turn is subject to the supervision and
control of the Directors, the Sub-Adviser in its discretion will determine which issuers and securities will be
purchased, held, sold or exchanged by the Fund or otherwise represented in the Fund's investment portfolio from time to
time and, subject to the provisions of paragraph 3 of this Agreement, will place orders with and give instructions to
brokers, dealers and others for all such transactions and cause such transactions to be executed. Custody of the Fund
will be maintained by a custodian bank (the "Custodian") and the Investment Manager will authorize the Custodian to honor
orders and instructions by employees of the Sub-Adviser designated by the Sub-Adviser to settle transactions in respect
of the Fund. No assets may be withdrawn from the Fund other than for settlement of transactions on behalf of the Fund
except upon the written authorization of appropriate officers of the Company who shall have been certified as such by
proper authorities of the Company prior to the withdrawal.
The Sub-Adviser will not be responsible for the provision of administrative, bookkeeping or accounting services
to the Fund except as specifically provided herein, as required by the ICA or the Advisers Act or as may be necessary for
the Sub-Adviser to supply to the Investment Manager, the Fund or the Fund's shareholders the information reasonably
required to be provided by the Sub-Adviser hereunder. Any records maintained hereunder shall be the property of the Fund
and surrendered promptly upon request.
In furnishing the services under this Agreement, the Sub-Adviser will comply with and use its best efforts to
enable the Fund to conform to the requirements of: (i) the ICA and the regulations promulgated thereunder; (ii)
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder; (iii) other applicable provisions
of state or federal law; (iv) the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company; (v) policies and determinations
of the Company and the Investment Manager provided to the Sub-Adviser in writing; (vi) the fundamental and
non-fundamental investment policies and restrictions applicable to the Fund, as set out in the Registration Statement of
the Company in effect, or as such investment policies and restrictions from time to time may be amended by the Fund's
shareholders or the Directors and communicated to the Sub-Adviser in writing; (vii) the Registration Statement; and
(viii) investment guidelines or other instructions received in writing from the Investment Manager. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Sub-Adviser shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance with limitations or restrictions for which
information from the Investment Manager or its authorized agents is required to enable the Sub-Adviser to monitor
compliance with such limitations or restrictions unless such information is provided to the Sub-adviser in writing. The
Sub-Adviser shall supervise and monitor the activities of its representatives, personnel and agents in connection with
the investment program of the Fund.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be implied to prevent the Investment Manager from engaging other sub-advisers to
provide investment advice and other services to the Fund or to series or portfolios of the Company for which the
Sub-Adviser does not provide such services, or to prevent the Investment Manager from providing such services itself in
relation to the Fund or such other series or portfolios. The Sub-Advisor and the Investment Manager understand and agree
that if the Investment Manager manages the Fund in a "manager-of-managers" style, the Investment Manager will, among
other things, (i) continually evaluate the performance of the Sub-Advisor through quantitative and qualitative analysis
and consultations with the Sub-Advisor, (ii) periodically make recommendations to the Company's Board as to whether the
contract with one or more sub-advisors should be renewed, modified or terminated, and (iii) periodically report to the
Company's Board regarding the results of its evaluation and monitoring functions. The Sub-Advisor recognizes that its
services may be terminated or modified pursuant to this process.
The Sub-Advisor acknowledges that the Investment Manager and the Company intend to rely on Rules 17a-10 and 10f-3
under the ICA, and the Sub-Advisor hereby agrees that it shall not consult with any other Sub-Advisor to the Fund or the
Company with respect to transactions in securities for the Fund's portfolio or any other transactions of Fund assets.
The Sub-Advisor further acknowledges that it shall not consult with any other sub-advisor of the Fund that is a principal
underwriter or an affiliated person of a principal underwriter with respect to transactions in securities for the Fund's
portfolio or any other transactions of Fund assets, and that its investment advisory responsibilities as set forth in
this Agreement are limited to such discrete portion of the Fund's portfolio as determined by the Investment Manager.
The Sub-Adviser shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of Schedule 13-G and Form 13-F on reflecting
the Fund's securities holdings. The Sub-Adviser shall not be responsible for the preparation or filing of any other
reports required of the Fund by any governmental or regulatory agency, except as expressly agreed in writing.
2. Investment Advisory Facilities. The Sub-Adviser, at its expense, will furnish all necessary investment
--------------------------------
facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties hereunder.
3. Execution of Fund Transactions. In connection with the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund,
-------------------------------
the Sub-Adviser is responsible for the selection of broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions for the Fund
in conformity with the policy regarding brokerage as set forth in the Registration Statement, or as the Directors may
determine from time to time, as well as the negotiation of brokerage commission rates with such executing
broker-dealers. Generally, the Sub-Adviser's primary consideration in placing Fund investment transactions with
broker-dealers for execution will be to obtain, and maintain the availability of, best execution at the best available
price.
Consistent with this policy, the Sub-Adviser, in selecting broker-dealers and negotiating brokerage commission
rates, will take all relevant factors into consideration, including, but not limited to: the best price available; the
reliability, integrity and financial condition of the broker-dealer; the size of and difficulty in executing the order;
and the value of the expected contribution of the broker-dealer to the investment performance of the Fund on a continuing
basis. Subject to such policies and procedures as the Directors may determine, the Sub-Adviser shall have discretion to
effect investment transactions for the Fund through broker-dealers (including, to the extent permissible under applicable
law, broker-dealers affiliated with the Sub-Adviser) 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 of 1934,
as amended (the "1934 Act"), and to cause the Fund to pay any such broker-dealers an amount of commission for effecting a
portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker-dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction, if the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage or research services provided by such broker-dealer, viewed in terms of either
that particular investment transaction or the Sub-Adviser's overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and other
accounts as to which the Sub-Adviser exercises investment discretion (as such term is defined in section 3(a)(35) of the
1934 Act). Allocation of orders placed by the Sub-Adviser on behalf of the Fund to such broker-dealers shall be in such
amounts and proportions as the Sub-Adviser shall determine in good faith in conformity with its responsibilities under
applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Sub-Adviser will submit reports on such allocations to the Investment
Manager regularly as reasonably requested by the Investment Manager, in such form as may be mutually agreed to by the
parties hereto, indicating the broker-dealers to whom such allocations have been made and the basis therefor.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 3, the Sub-Adviser may also consider sales of shares of the
Fund, or may consider or follow recommendations of the Investment Manager that take such sales into account, as factors
in the selection of broker-dealers to effect the Fund's investment transactions. Notwithstanding the above, nothing
shall require the Sub-Adviser to use a broker-dealer which provides research services or to use a particular
broker-dealer which the Investment Manager has recommended.
4. Reports by the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser shall furnish the Investment Manager monthly, quarterly and annual
--------------------------
reports, as may reasonably be requested by the Investment Manager concerning the transactions, performance, and
compliance of the Fund so that the Investment Manager may review such matters and discuss the management of the Fund.
The Sub-Adviser shall permit the books and records maintained with respect to the Fund to be inspected and audited by the
Company, the Investment Manager or their respective agents at all reasonable times during normal business hours upon
reasonable notice. The Sub-Adviser shall immediately notify both the Investment Manager and the Company of any legal
process served upon it in connection with its activities hereunder, including any legal process served upon it on behalf
of the Investment Manager, the Fund or the Company. The Sub-Adviser shall promptly notify the Investment Manager of (1)
any changes in any information regarding the Sub-Adviser or the investment program for the Fund required to be disclosed
in the Company's Registration Statement, or (2) any violation of any requirement, provision, policy or restriction that
the Sub-advisor is required to comply with under Section 1 of this Agreement.
5. Compensation of the Sub-Adviser. The amount of the compensation to the Sub-Adviser is computed at an annual
---------------------------------
rate. The fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund for each month, at
the annual rate set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.
In computing the fee to be paid to the Sub-Adviser, the net asset value of the Fund shall be valued as set forth
in the Registration Statement. If this Agreement is terminated, the payment described herein shall be prorated to the
date of termination.
The Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser shall not be considered as partners or participants in a joint
venture. The Sub-Adviser will pay its own expenses for the services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement and will
not be obligated to pay any expenses of the Investment Manager, the Fund or the Company. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, the Investment Manager, the Fund and the Company will not be obligated to pay any expenses
of the Sub-Adviser.

only by the Investment Manager, the Company or such persons the Investment Manager may designate in connection with the
Fund. The parties also understand that any information supplied to the Sub-Adviser in connection with the performance of
its obligations hereunder, particularly, but not limited to, any list of securities which may not be bought or sold for
the Fund, is to be regarded as confidential and for use only by the Sub-Adviser in connection with its obligation to
provide investment advice and other services to the Fund.
9. Representations of the Parties. Each party hereto hereby further represents and warrants to the other that: (i)
-------------------------------
it is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and is registered or licensed as an investment adviser

use its reasonable best efforts to maintain each such registration or license in effect at all times during the term of

10. Liability. In the absence of wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard for its
---------
obligations hereunder, the Sub-Adviser shall not be liable to the Company, the Fund, the Fund's shareholders or the
Investment Manager for any act or omission resulting in any loss suffered by the Company, the Fund, the Fund's
shareholders or the Investment Manager in connection with any service to be provided herein. The Federal laws impose
responsibilities under certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith, and therefore, nothing herein shall in any
way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the Company, the Fund or the Investment Manager may have under
applicable law.
11. Other Activities of the Sub-Adviser. The Investment Manager agrees that the Sub-Adviser and any of its partners
------------------------------------
or employees, and persons affiliated with the Sub-Adviser or with any such partner or employee, may render investment

Sub-Adviser in all respects shall be free to take action with respect to investments in securities or other interests in
property that are the same as, similar to, or different from those selected for purchase, holding or sale for the Fund.

Agreement shall impose upon the Sub-Adviser any obligation (i) to purchase or sell, or recommend for purchase or sale,
for the Fund any security which the Sub-Adviser, its partners, affiliates or employees may purchase or sell for the
Sub-Adviser or such partner's, affiliate's or employee's own accounts or for the account of any other client of the
Sub-Adviser, advisory or otherwise, or (ii) to abstain from the purchase or sale of any security for the Sub-Adviser's
other clients, advisory or otherwise, which the Investment Manager has placed on the list provided pursuant to paragraph
6(g) of this Agreement.

outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Any such renewal shall be approved by the vote of a majority of the Directors
who are not interested persons under the ICA, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
renewal. This Agreement may be terminated without penalty at any time by the Investment Manager or the Sub-Adviser upon
60 days written notice, and will automatically terminate in the event of (i) its "assignment" by either party to this
Agreement, as such term is defined in the ICA, subject to such exemptions as may be granted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission by rule, regulation or order, or (ii) upon termination of the Management Agreement, provided the

------------
personnel of the Sub-Adviser with responsibility for making investment decisions in relation to the Fund (the "Portfolio

Sub-Adviser and its affiliates or is the result of a request by the Investment Manager or is due to other circumstances
