(the "Subadviser"), and is consented to by AMERICAN SKANDIA TRUST (the "Trust") and FEDERATED EQUITY MANAGEMENT COMPANY

WHEREAS, as part of an internal reorganization, the Subadviser wishes to transfer the portion of its mutual fund
investment advisory business relating to the Agreement to FEMCOPA and is asking the Trust and the Investment Manager to
agree to amend the Agreement so that Subadviser's rights and responsibilities are transferred to FEMCOPA (the "Transfer");

Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act");
WHEREAS, FEMCOPA and Subadviser are each wholly owned by FII Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly
owned subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, and thus FEMCOPA and Subadviser are under
common control;
WHEREAS, all of the persons who will serve as the Trustees of FEMCOPA immediately after the Transfer are persons
who have served as Trustees of Subadviser prior to the transfer;
WHEREAS, the personnel who perform the services required of the Subadviser under the Agreement will continue to
perform the same services after the Transfer;
WHEREAS, the Transfer in and of itself will not result in a change in the fees or reimbursements required to be
paid under the Agreement;
WHEREAS, in view of the foregoing, the Transfer should not constitute an assignment of the Agreement within the
meaning of the 1940 Act and Rule 2a-6 thereunder; and
WHEREAS, the Trust's Board of Trustees has approved this amendment to the Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises and covenants set forth herein, the parties hereby agree
as follows:

and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
5. The Subadviser and FEMCOPA together represent and warrant that the Transfer of the Agreement will not
constitute an assignment of the Agreement within the meaning of the 1940 Act.
6. This Amendment shall not be effective for any purpose unless and until:
(a) FEMCOPA's registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser
pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 shall have become effective; and
(b) the reorganization resulting in the transfer of the portion of Subadviser's mutual fund investment
advisory business relating to the Agreement to FEMCOPA shall have occurred.
