Anne T. Potteiger ("Alternate Payee") and

Fidelity Reference Number: W002168-21NOV03
Dear Attorney Gaffney:
On behalf of the Plan Administrator, Fidelity Employer Services Company LLC ("Fidelity") has
determined that the Qualified Domestic Relations Order Defmed Contxibution Plan ("Order") dated
October 31, 2003 and submitted for review is not qualified pursuant to Section 206(d)(3) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.
The document, as presented, is not qualified for the following reason:
Section 4 of the Order states that the Plan to which the Order applies is the AHOLD, USA
Retirement Savings Plan or Ahold USA, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan for Hourly Associates~' Please
be advised that the Plan in which Mr. Pot~eiger is a participant is theaAhold USA, Inc 401(k~
S_avings Plan for Hourly Associat, es? Please amend the Order accordingly.
As the Order is not qualified, the Plan cannot comply with its terms. To be considered a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order, the Order must be modified to eliminate the deficiency noted above.
Please be advised that in accordance with the enclosed Plan QDRO Guidelines, the disbursement restriction
placed on the Participant's Plan account will remain in place throughout the qualification process. During
this period, the Participant will be unable to initiate loans or distributions. However, if currently eligible,
the Participant will remain eligible to direct the investment of future contributions and existing balances.
Please be advised that an amended Order will not receive priority or accelerated review over Orders that are
already under review.
A true original or court certified copy of an amended Order should be sent to Fidelity at the address listed
in the enclosed QDRO Guidelines.

Anne T. Potteiger v. Robert E. Potteiger, Jr.
Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas
Docket No. 02-1993-Civil Term - In Divorce
Dear Judge Hess:
On October 31, 2003 you signed a Qualified Domestic Relations Order in the above-
captioned divorce litigation. Unfortunately, the plan administrator for the 401(k) plan in
question, Fidelity Investments, informed us that the Order is not qualified pursuant to Section
206(d)(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and Section
414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The reason it did not qualify was that
the plan name contained in Section 4 of the Order does not exactly match the correct plan name,
"AHOLD USA, Inc. 401(k) Saving Plan for Hourly Associates."
Accordingly, I amended the QDRO to reflect the correct name of the plan. Other than the
change of plan name in paragraph 4 of the QDRO and the addition of the word "AMENDED" in
the title line of the QDRO, the provisions and language of the Amended QDRO are identical to
the QDRO that you signed on October 31, 2003.
I contacted Attorney Maclntyre's office and he has consented to my request that the
Court sign the Amended QDRO, which is attached to this letter. I also contacted Fidelity
Investments, the plan administrator, which has agreed to accept the Amended QDRO in the form
attached to this letter.
I represent Anne Potteiger in this matter. Attorney Maclntyre represents Robert E.
Potteiger, Jr. Fidelity Investments is the plan administrator for the AHOLD USA, Inc. 401(k)
Savings Plan for Hourly Associates. Attached to this letter, please find a copy of Fidelity

we will file the necessary Petition to accomplish this objective.
Thank you for your attention and courtesies in this matter. Please feel free to contact me
