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.
