                                                - - - - - - - - - -

WHEREAS,  the Sub-Adviser and the  Sub-Sub-Adviser  each is an investment  adviser  registered under the Investment

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,  American Skandia Investment Services,  Inc. ("Investment  Manager") the investment manager of the Company
engaged the  Sub-Adviser  to act as the interim  sub-adviser  for the ASAF Alger All-Cap  Growth Fund (the "Fund"),
one series of the Company,  under the terms of an interim  sub-advisory  agreement,  dated September 17, 2001, with
the  Company  (the   "Sub-Advisory   Agreement"),   which   agreement   permits  the   Sub-Adviser  to  engage  the
Sub-Sub-Adviser for the Fund; and

WHEREAS, the Sub-Adviser,  acting pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, wishes to engage the Sub-Sub-Adviser,  to
provide investment advice and other investment services set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Sub-Adviser agree as follows:

1.       Investment  Services.  The  Sub-Sub-Adviser  will implement a continuous  investment  program for the Fund
         --------------------
under the general  oversight of the  Sub-Adviser.  The  appropriate  officers and employees of the  Sub-Adviser and
Sub-Sub-Adviser  will be available to consult with the Investment  Manager,  the Company and the Board of Directors
of the Company (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
neither the Sub-Adviser or the Sub-Sub-Adviser is 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-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-Sub-Adviser  designated by the  Sub-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-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-Sub-Adviser  to supply to the  Investment  Manager,  the Fund or the Fund's
shareholders  the information  required to be provided by the  Sub-Sub-Adviser  hereunder.  Any records  maintained
hereunder  by the  Sub-Sub-Adviser  pursuant to the ICA or the  Advisers  Act shall be the property of the Fund and
shall be  surrendered  by the  Sub-Sub-Adviser  to the Company or the  Investment  Manager  promptly  upon request,
provided that the Sub-Sub-Adviser may retain copies of those records.

         In furnishing the services under this  Agreement,  the  Sub-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)  Subchapters L and M (including,  respectively,  Section 817(h) and Sections  851(b)(1),  (2) and
(3)) 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
Prospectus  and  Statement  of  Additional  Information  of the  Company  as in  effect  from  time  to  time  (the
"Registration Statement"),  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-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-Sub-Adviser  shall  have  no  responsibility  to  comply  with
limitations  or  restrictions  for which  information  from the  Investment  Manager  or its  authorized  agents is
required to enable the  Sub-Sub-Adviser to comply with such limitations or restrictions  unless such information is
provided to the  Sub-Sub-adviser  in writing.  The  Sub-Sub-Adviser  shall  supervise and monitor the activities of
its representatives, personnel and agents in connection with the investment program of the Fund.

         Unless  the  Sub-Adviser  or  the  Investment  Manager  give  the  Sub-Sub-Adviser   written  instructions
specifying a different  procedure for voting  proxies,  the  Sub-Sub-Adviser  shall,  in good faith and in a manner
that it reasonably  believes best serves the interests of the Fund's  shareholders,  direct the Fund's custodian as
to how to vote such proxies as may be necessary or  advisable in  connection  with any matters  submitted to a vote
of shareholders of securities  held by the Fund. The  Sub-Sub-Adviser  shall be responsible for the preparation and
filing of Schedule 13G and Form 13-F reflecting the Fund's securities  holdings.  The Sub-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 to in writing.

2.       Investment  Advisory  Facilities.  The  Sub-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-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-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-Sub-Adviser,  in selecting  broker-dealers and negotiating  brokerage
commission rates, will take all relevant factors into consideration,  which may include:  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-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-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-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-Sub-Adviser's  overall  responsibilities with respect to
the Fund and other  accounts  as to which the  Sub-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-Sub-Adviser  on behalf of
the Fund to such  broker-dealers  shall be in such amounts and proportions as the  Sub-Sub-Adviser  shall determine
in good  faith  in  conformity  with its  responsibilities  under  applicable  laws,  rules  and  regulations.  The
Sub-Sub-Adviser  will submit reports on such  allocations to the Sub-Adviser and the Investment  Manager  regularly
as  requested  by the  Sub-Adviser  or 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-Sub-Adviser  may also consider sales of
shares of the Fund, or may consider or follow  recommendations  of the  Sub-Adviser or 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-Sub-Adviser to use a broker-dealer which
provides research  services or to use a particular  broker-dealer  which the Sub-Adviser or the Investment  Manager
has recommended.

4.       Reports by the Sub-Adviser.  The Sub-Sub-Adviser  shall furnish the Investment Manager monthly,  quarterly
         --------------------------
and annual  reports,  as may be mutually agreed  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-Sub-Adviser  shall  permit  the books and  records  maintained  with  respect to the Fund to be  inspected  and
audited by the Company,  the  Sub-Adviser,  the  Investment  Manager or their  respective  agents at all reasonable
times during normal  business hours upon  reasonable  notice.  The  Sub-Sub-Adviser  shall  immediately  notify the
Sub-Adviser,  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  Sub-Adviser,  Investment
Manager,  the Fund or the Company.  The  Sub-Sub-Adviser  shall  reasonably  promptly  notify the  Sub-Adviser  and
Investment  Manager of (1) any changes in any information  regarding the  Sub-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-Sub-adviser  is aware of and required to comply with
under Section 1 of this Agreement.

5.       Compensation of the  Sub-Sub-Adviser.  The amount of the compensation to the  Sub-Sub-Adviser  is computed
         ------------------------------------
at an annual rate.  The fee shall be payable  monthly in arrears,  based on the combined  average  daily net assets
of the Fund and the domestic  equity series of the American  Skandia  Trust that is managed by the  Sub-Sub-Adviser
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-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,  the Sub-Adviser and the  Sub-Sub-Adviser  shall not be considered as partners or
participants  in a joint  venture.  The  Sub-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  Sub-Adviser,  Investment  Manager,
the Fund or the Company.  Except as otherwise  specifically  provided herein, the Sub-Adviser,  Investment Manager,
the Fund and the Company will not be obligated to pay any expenses of the Sub-Sub-Adviser.

11.      Other Activities of the  Sub-Sub-Adviser.  The Sub-Adviser agrees that the  Sub-Sub-Adviser and any of its
         ----------------------------------------
directors,  officers or employees,  and persons affiliated with the  Sub-Sub-Adviser or with any director,  officer
or employee,  may render investment  management or advisory services to other investors and institutions,  and that
such investors and institutions may own,  purchase or sell,  securities or other interests in property that are the

Sub-Adviser  further  acknowledges  that the  Sub-Sub-Adviser  shall be in all  respects  free to take  action with

purchase or sale,  for the Fund any security which the  Sub-Sub-Adviser,  its  directors,  officers,  affiliates or
employees may purchase or sell for the  Sub-Sub-Adviser  or such director's,  officer's,  affiliate's or employee's
own  accounts or for the account of any other  client of the  Sub-Sub-Adviser,  advisory or  otherwise,  or (ii) to
abstain from the purchase or sale of any security for the Sub-Sub-Adviser's  other clients,  advisory or otherwise,
which the  Sub-Adviser  or the  Investment  Manager has placed on the list provided  pursuant to paragraph  6(g) of

reasonable time of any change in the personnel of the  Sub-Sub-Adviser  with  responsibility  for making investment
decisions in relation to the Fund (the "Portfolio  Manager(s)")  or who have been  authorized to give  instructions

however,  that the  Sub-Sub-Adviser  shall not be  responsible  for such  costs and  expenses  where the  change in
Portfolio  Manager(s)  reflects the termination of employment of the Portfolio  Manager(s) with the Sub-Sub-Adviser
and its affiliates or is the result of a request by the  Sub-Adviser  or the Investment  Manager or is due to other
circumstances beyond the Sub-Sub-Adviser's control.

of the  Sub-Adviser  or any  affiliated  person or  controlling  person of the  Sub-Adviser  deemed to protect such

is the Sub-Adviser's  indemnity in favor of the  Sub-Sub-Adviser  or any affiliated person or controlling person of
the  Sub-Sub-Adviser  deemed to protect such person against any liability to which any such person would  otherwise

reason of its  reckless  disregard  of its  obligations  and duties  under this  Agreement.  It is agreed  that the
Sub-Adviser's  indemnification  obligations  under this  Section 14 will  extend to expenses  and costs  (including

to be  made  against  the  indemnifying  party  under  this  Section  14,  notify  the  indemnifying  party  of the
commencement  thereof;  but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability
that it may have to any  indemnified  party  otherwise  than  under  this  Section  14. In case any such  action is
brought against any indemnified  party, and it notified the indemnifying  party of the  commencement  thereof,  the
indemnifying  party will be  entitled  to  participate  therein  and, to the extent that it may wish and unless the
indemnified  party  releases  the  indemnifying  party  from any  further  obligations  under  this  Section  14 in
connection with that action,  assume the defense  thereof,  with counsel  satisfactory to such  indemnified  party.
After  notice from the  indemnifying  party of its  intention to assume the defense of an action,  the  indemnified
party shall bear the expenses of any additional  counsel  obtained by it, and the  indemnifying  party shall not be
liable to such indemnified party under this section for any legal or other expenses  subsequently  incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
