                                                  ----------------------


THIS  AGREEMENT is between  American  Skandia  Investment  Services,  Incorporated  (the  "Investment  Manager") and Strong
Capital Management, Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser").

                                                    W I T N E S S E T H
                                                    - - - - - - - - - -

WHEREAS,  American  Skandia Trust (the "Trust") is a  Massachusetts  business  trust  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 Trustees of the Trust (the  "Trustees")  have engaged the  Investment  Manager to act as  investment
manager for the AST Strong  International  Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio"),  one series of the Trust, under the terms of
a management agreement, dated December, 2001, with the Trust (the "Management Agreement"); and

WHEREAS, the Investment Manager,  acting pursuant to the Management  Agreement,  wishes to engage the Sub-Adviser,  and the
Trustees 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
         --------------------
Portfolio  conforming to the investment  objective,  investment  policies and restrictions of the Portfolio as set forth in
the  Prospectus  and  Statement  of  Additional  Information  of the Trust as in effect  from time to time  (together,  the
"Registration  Statement"),  the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-laws of the Trust, 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 Trust and  Trustees at  reasonable  times and upon  reasonable  notice  concerning  the
business of the Trust,  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 Portfolio's assets.

         Subject to the supervision and control of the Investment Manager,  which in turn is subject to the supervision and
control of the Trustees,  the  Sub-Adviser in its discretion will determine which issuers and securities will be purchased,
held,  sold or exchanged by the Portfolio or otherwise  represented in the  Portfolio'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
Portfolio  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  Portfolio.  No assets may be withdrawn  from the  Portfolio  other than for  settlement of
transactions  on behalf of the Portfolio  except upon the written  authorization  of appropriate  officers of the Trust who
shall have been certified as such by proper authorities of the Trust prior to the withdrawal.

         The Sub-Adviser will not be responsible for the provision of  administrative,  bookkeeping or accounting  services
to the  Portfolio  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 Portfolio or the  Portfolio's  shareholders  the
information  required to be provided by the Sub-Adviser  hereunder.  Any records maintained hereunder shall be the property
of the Portfolio 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  Portfolio 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
Agreement  and  Declaration  of Trust and  By-laws of the  Trust;  (v)  policies  and  determinations  of the Trust and the
Investment Manager provided to the Sub-Adviser in writing;  (vi) the fundamental and  non-fundamental  investment  policies
and restrictions  applicable to the Portfolio,  as set out in the Registration  Statement in effect,  or as such investment
policies  and  restrictions  from  time  to time  may be  amended  by the  Portfolio's  shareholders  or the  Trustees  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
Portfolio.

         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  Portfolio  or to series or  portfolios  of the Trust 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 Portfolio or such other series or portfolios.

         The  Sub-Adviser  shall be responsible  for the preparation and filing of Schedule 13G and Form 13F reflecting the
Portfolio's  securities  holdings.  The  Sub-Adviser  shall not be responsible  for the  preparation or filing of any other
reports required of the Portfolio by any governmental or regulatory agency, except as expressly agreed to 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 Portfolio  Transactions.  In connection  with the  investment and  reinvestment  of the assets of the
         ------------------------------------
Portfolio,  the Sub-Adviser is responsible for the selection of  broker-dealers  to execute purchase and sale  transactions
for the Portfolio in conformity with the policy regarding brokerage as set forth in the Registration  Statement,  or as the
Trustees 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 Portfolio  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  Portfolio on a
continuing  basis.  Subject to such  policies and  procedures as the Trustees may  determine,  the  Sub-Adviser  shall have
discretion  to  effect  investment  transactions  for  the  Portfolio  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  Portfolio 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  Portfolio  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  Portfolio  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 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
Portfolio,  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 Portfolio'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  Portfolio  so that the  Investment  Manager may review such matters and discuss the  management  of the
Portfolio.  The  Sub-Adviser  shall permit the books and records  maintained  with respect to the Portfolio to be inspected
and  audited by the Trust,  the  Investment  Manager or their  respective  agents at all  reasonable  times  during  normal
business  hours upon  reasonable  prior written  notice.  The  Sub-Adviser  shall  immediately  notify both the  Investment
Manager and the Trust 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  Portfolio or the Trust.  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  Portfolio  required to be disclosed in the Trust'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  Portfolio  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 Portfolio  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  Portfolio  or the  Trust.  Except as  otherwise
specifically  provided  herein,  the  Investment  Manager,  the  Portfolio  and the Trust will not be  obligated to pay any
expenses of the Sub-Adviser.

6.       Delivery of  Documents to the  Sub-Adviser.  The  Investment  Manager has  furnished  the  Sub-Adviser  with true,

the foregoing will not be deemed effective with respect to the Investment  Manager until the Investment  Manager's  receipt
thereof.  The  Sub-Adviser  will  provide  additional  information  as the  Investment  Manager may  reasonably  request in
connection with the Sub-Adviser's performance of its duties under this Agreement.

8.       Confidential  Treatment.  The parties hereto  understand  that any information or  recommendation  supplied by the

Sub-Adviser in connection with the performance of its obligations  hereunder is to be regarded as confidential  and for use
only by the  Investment  Manager,  the Trust or such persons the  Investment  Manager may designate in connection  with the
Portfolio.  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  Portfolio,  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 Portfolio.

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
under the laws of all  jurisdictions in which its activities  require it to be so registered or licensed;  and (ii) it will
use its  reasonable  best efforts to maintain each such  registration  or license in effect at all times during the term of
this  Agreement;  and (iii) it will promptly  notify the other if it ceases to be so  registered,  if its  registration  is
suspended for any reason,  or if it is notified by any regulatory  organization or court of competent  jurisdiction that it
should show cause why its  registration  should not be suspended or  terminated;  and (iv) it is duly  authorized  to enter
into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.

         The  Investment  Manager  further  represents  and warrants to the  Sub-Adviser  that (i) the  appointment  of the
Sub-Adviser  by the  Investment  Manager  has been  duly  authorized  and (ii) it has  acted  and will  continue  to act in
connection with the transactions  contemplated  hereby,  and the transactions  contemplated  hereby are, in conformity with
the ICA, the Trust's governing documents and other applicable law.

10.      Liability.  In the absence of willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,  gross  negligence  or reckless  disregard for its
         ---------
obligations  hereunder,  the Sub-Adviser shall not be liable to the Trust, the Portfolio,  the Portfolio's  shareholders or
the  Investment  Manager  for any act or  omission  resulting  in any  loss  suffered  by the  Trust,  the  Portfolio,  the
Portfolio'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 Trust,  the Portfolio 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
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 same as,  similar to, or different  from those
which are selected for purchase,  holding or sale for the Portfolio.  The Investment Manager further  acknowledges that the
Sub-Adviser  shall be in all respects 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
Portfolio.  The Investment  Manager  understands that the Sub-Adviser  shall not favor or disfavor any of the Sub-Adviser's
clients  or class of  clients  in the  allocation  of  investment  opportunities,  so that to the  extent  practical,  such
opportunities  will be  allocated  among the  Sub-Adviser's  clients over a period of time on a fair and  equitable  basis.
Nothing in this  Agreement  shall impose upon the  Sub-Adviser  any  obligation  (i) to purchase or sell,  or recommend for
purchase or sale,  for the  Portfolio  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.

12.      Continuance  and  Termination.  This  Agreement  shall  remain in full force and effect for one year from the date
         -----------------------------
hereof,  and is  renewable  annually  thereafter  by  specific  approval  of the  Trustees  or by vote of a majority of the
outstanding  voting  securities  of the  Portfolio.  Any such  renewal  shall be  approved by the vote of a majority of the
Trustees 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
Sub-Adviser has received prior written notice thereof.

13.      Notification.  The  Sub-Adviser  will notify the Investment  Manager within a reasonable time of any change in the
         ------------
personnel  of the  Sub-Adviser  with  responsibility  for making  investment  decisions in relation to the  Portfolio  (the
"Portfolio  Manager(s)")  or who have been  authorized to give  instructions  to the Custodian.  The  Sub-Adviser  shall be
responsible  for  reasonable  out-of-pocket  costs and expenses  incurred by the Investment  Manager,  the Portfolio or the
Trust to amend or supplement  the Trust's  Prospectus to reflect a change in Portfolio  Manager(s)  terminated for cause or
otherwise  to comply  with the ICA,  the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended  (the "1933  Act") or any other  applicable
statute,  law,  rule or  regulation,  as a result of such change;  provided,  however,  that the  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-Adviser  and its  affiliates  or is the result of a request by the  Investment
Manager or is due to other circumstances beyond the Sub-Adviser's control.

         Any notice,  instruction or other  communication  required or  contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing.
All such  communications  shall be addressed to the  recipient at the address set forth below,  provided  that either party
may, by notice, designate a different recipient and/or address for such party.
