<br />(b) Unforeseeable Emergency Defined. An Unforeseeable Emergency is defined as a severe <br />financial hardship of the Participant resulting from: an illness or accident of the Participant, the <br />Participant's Spouse, or the Participant's dependent (as defined in IRC Section 152(a)); loss of <br />the Participant's property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following <br />damage to a home not otherwise covered by homeowner's insurance, e.g., as a result of a natural <br />disaster); the need to pay for the funeral expenses of the Participant's Spouse or dependent (as <br />defined in IRC Section 152(a)); or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances <br />arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, or as otherwise permitted by <br />law. For example, the imminent foreclosure of or eviction from the Participant's primary <br />residence may constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. In addition, the need to pay for medical <br />expenses, including non-refundable deductibles, as well as for the cost of prescription drug <br />medication, may constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. Except as otherwise specifically <br />provided in this Section 5.09, neither the purchase of a home nor the payment of college tuition <br />is an Unforeseeable Emergency. <br /> <br />(c) Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution Standard. A distribution on account of <br />Unforeseeable Emergency may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be <br />relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of <br />the Participant's assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe <br />financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan, or as otherwise permitted by law. <br /> <br />(d) Distribution Necessary to Satisfy Emergency Need. Distributions because of an <br />Unforeseeable Emergency may not exceed the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the <br />emergency need (which may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, or local <br />income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution). <br /> <br />5.1 0 Voluntary In-Service Smaller Account Distributions.
