emergency. Whether the Participant or the Participant’s
beneficiary is faced with any unforeseeable emergency permitting a
distribution is to be determined based on the relevant facts and

account of unforeseeable emergency may not be made to the extent
that such emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement of
compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the
Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such
assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation
of deferrals under the Plan.
|
Distributions because of an
unforeseeable emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably
necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts
necessary to pay any Federal, State, Local, or foreign income taxes
or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the
distribution).
Determination of amounts reasonably
necessary to satisfy the emergency need must take into account any
additional compensation that is available because the Plan provides
for cancellation of a Salary Deferral election upon a payment due
to an unforeseeable emergency.
