                                                  AMERICAN SKANDIA TRUST
                                                  SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
                                                  ----------------------

THIS  AGREEMENT  is between  American  Skandia  Investment  Services,  Incorporated  and  Prudential  Investments  LLC (the
"Investment Manager") and Neuberger Berman Management, Inc. (the "Sub-Advisor").

WHEREAS  American  Skandia Trust (the  "Trust") is a  Massachusetts  business  trust  organized  with one or more series of
shares, and is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "ICA"); and

WHEREAS the trustees of the Trust (the  "Trustees")  have engaged the Investment  Manager to act as investment  manager for
the AST Neuberger Berman Mid-Cap Value Portfolio (the  "Portfolio")  under the terms of a management  agreement,  dated May
1, 2003, with the Trust (the "Management Agreement"); and

WHEREAS  the  Investment  Manager  has engaged the  Sub-Advisor  and the  Trustees  have  approved  the  engagement  of the
Sub-Advisor to provide investment advice and other investment services set forth below;

NOW, THEREFORE the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisor agree as follows:

1.       Investment  Services.  The Sub-Advisor will furnish the Investment  Manager with investment  advisory  services in
connection  with a  continuous  investment  program  for the  Portfolio  which  is to be  managed  in  accordance  with the
investment  objective,  investment  policies and restrictions of the Portfolio as set forth in the Prospectus and Statement
of Additional  Information  of the Trust and in accordance  with the Trust's  Declaration  of Trust and By-Laws.  Officers,
directors,  and  employees  of  Sub-Advisor  will be  available to consult  with  Investment  Manager and the Trust,  their
officers,  employees  and  Trustees  concerning  the  business  of the Trust.  Investment  Manager  will  promptly  furnish
Sub-Advisor  with any amendments to such  documents.  Such amendments will not be effective with respect to the Sub-Advisor
until receipt thereof.

         Subject to the supervision and control of the Investment Manager,  which is in turn subject to the supervision and
control of the Trust's Board of Trustees,  the Sub-Advisor,  will in its discretion  determine and select the securities to
be  purchased  for and sold from the  Portfolio  from time to time and will  place  orders  with and give  instructions  to
brokers,  dealers and others for all such  transactions and cause such  transactions to be executed.  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-Advisor  authorized by the Investment  Manager 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-Advisor,  to the extent  necessary in its sole judgment,  will obtain and evaluate  pertinent  information
about  significant  developments  and economic,  statistical and financial data,  domestic,  foreign or otherwise,  whether
affecting the economy  generally or the Portfolio,  and concerning the individual  issuers whose securities are included in
the  Portfolio or the  activities  in which they engage,  or with respect to  securities  which the  Sub-Advisor  considers
desirable for inclusion in the Portfolio.

         The Sub-Advisor  represents that it reviewed the Registration  Statement of the Trust, including any amendments or
supplements thereto,  and any Proxy Statement relating to the approval of this Agreement,  as filed with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  and  represents  and warrants that with respect to disclosure  about the  Sub-Advisor  or information
relating to the  Sub-Advisor or the investment  program  conducted by the  Sub-Advisor for the Portfolio or which otherwise
relates  directly or indirectly to the  Sub-Advisor's  activities in connection  with the Portfolio  (such  disclosure  and
information being  hereinafter  collectively  referred to as "Sub-Advisor  Information"),  such  Registration  Statement or
Proxy Statement  contains,  as of their  respective  dates and, if later,  the effective date of this Agreement,  no untrue
statement of any material  fact and does not omit any  statement of material  fact which was required to be stated  therein
or necessary to make the statements  contained therein not misleading;  it being understood that the Sub-Advisor shall have
no  responsibility  for any other  portion of the  Registration  Statement  or Proxy  Statement.  The  Sub-Advisor  further
represents  and warrants  that it is an  investment  advisor  registered  under the  Investment  Advisers  Act of 1940,  as
amended,  and  under  the  laws of all  jurisdictions  in  which  the  conduct  of its  business  hereunder  requires  such
registration.

         In furnishing  the services under this  Agreement,  the  Sub-Advisor  will use its best efforts to comply with the
requirements  of the ICA and Sections  817(h) and Section  851(b)(2) and (3)) of the Internal  Revenue Code,  applicable to
the Portfolio,  and the regulations promulgated  thereunder.  Sub-Advisor shall comply with (i) other applicable provisions
of state or federal  law;  (ii) the  provision of the  Declaration  of Trust and By-Laws of the Trust;  (iii)  policies and
determinations  of the Trust and Investment  Manager;  (iv) the  fundamental  policies and investment  restrictions  of the
Trust, as set out in the Trust's registration  statement under the ICA, or as amended by the Trust's shareholders;  (v) the
Prospectus  and Statement of Additional  Information of the Trust;  and (vi)  investment  guidelines or other  instructions
received in writing  from  Investment  Manager.  Sub-Advisor  shall  supervise  and monitor the  investment  program of the
Portfolio.  The Investment  Manager  acknowledges to the Sub-Advisor that the Investment Manager also is responsible to the
Trust for monitoring  compliance with the foregoing  requirements;  it being understood that such acknowledgement  shall in
no way diminish the Sub-Advisor's responsibilities under this provision.

         Nothing in this Agreement shall be implied to prevent the Investment  Manager from engaging other  sub-advisors to
provide  investment  advice and other  services in  relation  to  portfolios  of the Trust for which  Sub-Advisor  does not
provide  such  services,  or to prevent  Investment  Manager  from  providing  such  services  itself in  relation  to such
portfolios.  The Sub-Advisor  and the Investment  Manager  understand and agree that if the Investment  Manager manages the
Portfolio 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 Trust'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  Trust'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 Trust intend to rely on Rules 17a-10 and 10f-3
under the ICA, to the extent  applicable,  and the  Sub-Advisor  hereby  agrees  that it shall not  consult  with any other
Sub-Advisor to the Portfolio or the Trust with respect to transactions  in securities for the Portfolio's  portfolio or any
other  transactions of Portfolio  assets.  The Sub-Advisor  further  acknowledges  that it shall not consult with any other
sub-advisor  of the Portfolio  that is a principal  underwriter  or an affiliated  person of a principal  underwriter  with
respect to transactions  in securities for the Portfolio's  portfolio or any other  transactions of Portfolio  assets,  and
that its investment  advisory  responsibilities  as set forth in this Agreement are limited to such discrete portion of the
Portfolio's portfolio as determined by the Investment Manager.

2.       Delivery of Documents to Sub-Advisor.  The Investment  Manager has furnished the  Sub-Advisor  with copies of each
of the following documents:

         (a)      The Declaration of Trust of the Trust as in effect on the date hereof;

         (b)      The By-laws of the Trust in effect on the date hereof;

         (c)      The  resolutions  of the Trustees  approving the  engagement of the  Sub-Advisor  as  Sub-Advisor  to the
                  Investment Manager and approving the form of this agreement;

         (d)      The resolutions of the Trustees  selecting the Investment  Manager as investment manager to the Trust and
                  approving the form of the Investment Manager's Management Agreement with the Trust;

         (e)      The Investment Manager's Management Agreement with the Trust;

         (f)      The Code of Ethics of the Trust and of the Investment Manager as currently in effect; and

         (g)      A list of companies the securities of which are not to be bought or sold for the Portfolio;

(h)      the Registration Statement of the Trust;

(i)      the Proxy Statement relating to this Agreement; and

         (j)      the Investment Manager's most recent balance sheet.

The  Investment  Manager  will  furnish the  Sub-Advisor  from time to time with  copies,  properly  certified or otherwise
authenticated,  of all amendments of or supplements  to the foregoing,  if any. Such  amendments or supplements as to items
(a)  through  (f) above will be provided  within 30 days of the time such  materials  became  available  to the  Investment
Manager.  Such  amendments or  supplements as to item (g) above will be provided not later than the end of the business day
next following the date such  amendments or  supplements  become known to the Investment  Manager.  The Investment  Manager
will advise the  Sub-Advisor  30 days prior to the effective date of any changes in the  investment  objective,  investment
policies, or investment restrictions applicable to the Portfolio.

3.       Delivery of Documents to the  Investment  Manager.  The  Sub-Advisor  has  furnished the  Investment  Manager with
copies of each of the following documents:

         (a)      The Sub-Advisor's Form ADV as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

         (b)      The Sub-Advisor's most recent balance sheet;

         (c)      Separate  lists of persons who the  Sub-Advisor  wishes to have  authorized  to give written  and/or oral
                  instructions to Custodians of Trust assets for the Portfolio;

         (d)      The Code of Ethics of the Sub-Advisor as currently in effect.

The  Sub-Advisor  will  furnish the  Investment  Manager  from time to time with  copies,  properly  certified or otherwise
authenticated,  of all material  amendments of or supplements to the foregoing,  if any. Such  amendments or supplements as
to items (a)  through  (d)  above  will be  provided  within 30 days of the time such  materials  became  available  to the
Sub-Advisor.

4.       Investment  Advisory  Facilities.  The  Sub-Advisor,  at  its  expense,  will  furnish  all  necessary  investment
facilities, including salaries of personnel required for it to execute its duties faithfully.

5.       Execution of Portfolio  Transactions.  Sub-Advisor is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the
Portfolio,  broker-dealer  selection,  and negotiation of its brokerage  commission rates.  Sub-Advisor shall determine the
securities to be purchased or sold by the Portfolio  pursuant to its determinations  with or through such persons,  brokers
or dealers,  in conformity  with the policy with respect to brokerage as set forth in the Trust's  Prospectus and Statement
of Additional  Information,  or as the Board of Trustees may determine from time to time. The Sub-Advisor may consider sale
of the shares of the Portfolio,  as well as recommendations of the Investment Manager,  subject to the requirements of best
net price and most favorable execution.

               With respect to brokerage,  the Sub-Advisor will take the following into  consideration:  the best net 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.  Accordingly,  the cost of the brokerage  commissions to the Portfolio may be greater than
that  available from other brokers if the  difference is reasonably  justified by other aspects of the portfolio  execution
services  offered.  Subject to such  policies  and  procedures  as the Board of  Trustees of the Trust may  determine,  the
Sub-Advisor  shall not be deemed to have  acted  unlawfully  or to have  breached  any duty  solely by reason of its having
caused the Portfolio to pay a broker-dealer  that provides  research services to the Sub-Advisor for the Portfolio's use 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-Advisor  determines in good faith that such
amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the research  services  provided by such broker,  viewed in
terms of either that particular  transaction or the Sub-Advisor's  ongoing  responsibilities with respect to the Portfolio.
The  Sub-Advisor  is  further  authorized  to  allocate  the  orders  placed  by it on  behalf  of the  Portfolio  to  such
broker-dealers  who also provide research or statistical  material,  or other services to the Portfolio or the Sub-Advisor.
Such  allocation  shall be in such amounts and proportions as the  Sub-Advisor  shall  determine and the  Sub-Advisor  will
report on said allocations to the Investment  Manager  regularly as requested by the Investment  Manager and, in any event,
at least once each calendar  year if no specific  request is made,  indicating  the brokers to whom such  allocations  have
been made and the basis therefor.

6.       Reports by  Sub-Advisor.  The  Sub-Advisor  shall furnish the  Investment  Manager  monthly,  quarterly and annual
reports  concerning  transactions  and  performance  of the  Portfolio,  including  information  required  in  the  Trust's
Registration,  in such form as may be mutually  agreed,  to review the  Portfolio  and discuss  the  management  of it. The
Sub-Advisor  shall permit books and records  maintained  by it with respect to the Portfolio to be inspected and audited by
the Trust,  the Investment  Manager or their agents at all reasonable  times during normal business hours.  The Sub-Advisor
shall  immediately  notify and forward to both Investment  Manager and legal counsel for the Trust any legal process served
upon it on behalf of the Investment  Manager or the Trust.  The Sub-Advisor  shall promptly  notify the Investment  Manager
of any changes in any Sub-Advisor Information included in the Trust's Registration Statement.

7.       Compensation  of  Sub-Advisor.  The amount of the  compensation  to the Sub-Advisor is computed at an annual rate.
The fee is payable  monthly in  arrears,  based on the average  daily net assets of the  Portfolio  for each month,  at the
annual rates shown below.

         For all services  rendered,  the Investment  Manager will calculate and pay the Sub-Advisor at the annual rate of:
.50% of the  portion  of the net assets of the  Portfolio  not in excess of $750  million;  .45% of the  portion  over $750
million but not in excess of $1 billion; and .40% of the portion in excess of $1 billion.

         In computing the fee to be paid to the  Sub-Advisor,  the net asset value of the Portfolio  shall be valued as set
forth in the then current  registration  statement of the Trust.  If this  agreement is  terminated,  the payment  shall be
prorated to the date of termination.

         Investment  Manager and  Sub-Advisor  shall not be  considered  as partners or  participants  in a joint  venture.
Sub-Advisor  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  Investment  Manager or the Trust.  Except as  otherwise  provided  herein,  Investment
Manager and the Trust will not be obligated to pay any expenses of Sub-Advisor.

8.       Confidential  Treatment.  It is understood that any information or  recommendation  supplied by the Sub-Advisor 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.  It
is also  understood  that any  information  supplied to Sub-Advisor in connection  with the  performance of its obligations
hereunder,  particularly,  but not limited to, any list of securities  which,  on a temporary  basis,  may not be bought or
sold for the  Portfolio,  is to be regarded as  confidential  and for use only by the  Sub-Advisor  in connection  with its
obligation to provide investment advice and other services to the Portfolio.

9.       Representations  of the Parties.  Each party to this  Agreement  hereby  acknowledges  that it is registered as an
investment  advisor under the  Investment  Advisers Act of 1940, it will use its  reasonable  best efforts to maintain such
registration,  and 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.

10.      Liability.  The Sub-Advisor  shall give the Portfolio the benefit of the  Sub-Advisor's  best judgment and efforts
in rendering its services  hereunder.  As an inducement to the  Sub-Advisor's  undertaking  to render these  services,  the
parties agree that,  except as provided in Section 14 hereunder,  the  Sub-Advisor  shall not be liable to the Trust or its
shareholders or to the Investment  Manager for any mistake in judgment or for any act or omission  resulting in any loss in
connection  with any  service  provided  herein in the  absence of willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,  gross  negligence  or
reckless  disregard for its  obligations  hereunder.  The  Sub-Advisor  and the Investment  Manager  further agree that the
Sub-Advisor  shall bear no  responsibilities  or  obligations  for any portfolios of the Trust other than the Portfolio and
any other portfolio with respect to which it serves as sub-advisor.

         The Investment  Manager agrees that the Sub-Advisor  shall not be liable for any failure to recommend the purchase
or sale of any security on behalf of the Portfolio on the basis of any information  which might, in Sub-Advisor's  opinion,
constitute a violation of any federal or state laws, rules or regulations.

11.      Other  Activities  of  Sub-Advisor.  Investment  Manager  agrees that the  Sub-Advisor  and any of its officers or
employees,  and  persons  affiliated  with it or with any such  officer or employee  may render  investment  management  or
advisory  services to other investors and  institutions,  and such investors and  institutions  may own,  purchase or sell,
securities  or other  interests in property the same as or similar to those which are  selected  for  purchase,  holding or
sale for the  Portfolio,  and the  Sub-Advisor  shall be in all respects free to take action with respect to investments in
securities or other  interests in property the same as or similar to those  selected for purchase,  holding or sale for the
Portfolio.  Purchases  and sales of individual  securities  on behalf of the  Portfolio or accounts for other  investors or
institutions  will be made on a basis that is equitable to the  Portfolio  and other  accounts.  Nothing in this  agreement
shall impose upon the  Sub-Advisor  any obligation to purchase or sell or recommend for purchase or sale, for the Portfolio
any security which it, its officers,  affiliates or employees may purchase or sell for the  Sub-Advisor or such  officer's,
affiliate's or employee's own accounts or for the account of any other client, advisory or otherwise.

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 Board of Trustees of the Trust 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
Sub-Advisor upon 60 days written notice,  and will  automatically  terminate in the event of its assignment by either party
to this  Agreement,  as defined in the ICA, or (provided  Sub-Advisor  has received  prior  written  notice  thereof)  upon
termination of the Investment Manager's Management Agreement with the Trust.

13.      Notification.  Sub-Advisor  will  notify the  Investment  Manager  within a  reasonable  time of any change in the
personnel of the Sub-Advisor with  responsibility for making investment  decisions in relation to the Portfolio or who have
been authorized to give instructions to a Custodian of the Trust.

         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 address for such party.
