Managing Your Account Value continued<br />
AMERICAN SKANDIA STAGECOACH XTRA CREDIT <strong>SIX</strong> PROSPECTUS<br />
amount (called the “Protected Principal Value”) against market<br />
downturns as of a specific date in the future, but also wish to<br />
exercise control of your available Account Value among the<br />
variable investment options to participate in market experience.<br />
Under the GRO Plus program, you give us the right to allocate<br />
amounts to Fixed Allocations as needed to support the guarantees<br />
provided. The available Account Value is the amount not<br />
allocated to the Fixed Allocations to support the guarantees<br />
provided. There is a fee associated with this program. See<br />
“Living Benefit Programs,” later in this Prospectus, for more<br />
information about this program.<br />
MAY I GIVE MY INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL<br />
PERMISSION TO MANAGE MY ACCOUNT VALUE?<br />
Yes. Your Investment Professional may direct the allocation of<br />
your Account Value and request financial transactions between<br />
investment options while you are living, subject to our rules,<br />
and unless you tell us otherwise. If your Investment Professional<br />
has this authority, we deem that all transactions<br />
that are directed by your Investment Professional with<br />
respect to your Annuity have been authorized by you. You<br />
must contact us immediately if and when you revoke such<br />
authority. We will not be responsible for acting on instructions<br />
from your Investment Professional until we receive notification<br />
of the revocation of such person’s authority. We may also suspend,<br />
cancel or limit these privileges at any time. We will<br />
notify you if we do.<br />
MAY I AUTHORIZE MY THIRD PARTY INVEST-<br />
MENT ADVISOR TO MANAGE MY ACCOUNT?<br />
Yes. You may engage your own investment advisor to manage<br />
your account. These investment advisors may be firms or persons<br />
who also are appointed by us, or whose affiliated brokerdealers<br />
are appointed by us, as authorized sellers of the Annuity.<br />
Even if this is the case, however, please note that the<br />
investment advisor you engage to provide advice and/or<br />
make transfers for you, is not acting on our behalf, but<br />
rather is acting on your behalf. We do not offer advice<br />
about how to allocate your Account Value under any circumstance.<br />
As such, we are not responsible for any recommendations<br />
such investment advisors make, any investment models or<br />
asset allocation programs they choose to follow or any specific<br />
transfers they make on your behalf.<br />
Any fee that is charged by your investment advisor is in<br />
addition to the fees and expenses that apply under your Annuity.<br />
If you authorize your investment advisor to withdraw<br />
amounts from your Annuity (to the extent permitted) to pay for<br />
the investment advisor’s fee, as with any other withdrawal<br />
from your Annuity, you may incur adverse tax consequences, a<br />
CDSC and/or a Market Value Adjustment. Withdrawals to pay<br />
your investment advisor generally will also reduce the level of<br />
various living and death benefit guarantees provided (e.g. the<br />
withdrawals will reduce proportionately the Annuity’s guaranteed<br />
minimum death benefit.) We are not a party to the<br />
agreement you have with your investment advisor and do<br />
not verify that amounts withdrawn from your Annuity,<br />
including amounts withdrawn to pay for the investment<br />
advisor’s fee, are within the terms of your agreement<br />
with your investment advisor. You will, however, receive<br />
confirmations of transactions that affect your Annuity. If your<br />
investment advisor has also acted as your investment professional<br />
with respect to the sale of your Annuity, he or she may<br />
be receiving compensation for services provided both as an<br />
Investment Professional and investment advisor. Alternatively,<br />
the investment advisor may compensate the Investment Professional<br />
from whom you purchased your Annuity for the referral<br />
that led you to enter into your investment advisory relationship<br />
with the investment advisor. If you are interested in the details<br />
about the compensation that your investment advisor and/or<br />
your Investment Professional receive in connection with your<br />
Annuity, you should ask them for more details.<br />
We or an affiliate of ours may provide administrative support<br />
to licensed, registered Investment Professionals or investment<br />
advisors who you authorize to make financial transactions<br />
on your behalf. We may require Investment Professionals or<br />
investment advisors, who are authorized by multiple contract<br />
owners to make financial transactions, to enter into an<br />
administrative agreement with American Skandia as a condition<br />
of our accepting transactions on your behalf. The administrative<br />
agreement may impose limitations on the Investment Professional’s<br />
or investment advisor’s ability to request financial<br />
transactions on your behalf. These limitations are intended to<br />
minimize the detrimental impact of an Investment Professional<br />
who is in a position to transfer large amounts of money for<br />
multiple clients in a particular Portfolio or type of portfolio or<br />
Contract described herein is no longer available for sale.<br />
