Common use of Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution Clause in Contracts

Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution. The Participant shall have no right to receive amounts credited to his or her Account other than as provided in this Section 8. However, the Committee may allow a partial or total distribution of the Participant’s interest in his Account, after the Account has become vested and prior to the time it otherwise would be payable, upon the Participant’s request and a demonstration by the Participant of a severe financial hardship as the result of an Unforeseeable Emergency. The amount of any such distribution shall be limited to the amount reasonably deemed necessary to the Committee to alleviate the Participant’s Unforeseeable Emergency and an amount to cover any Federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. Such distribution shall be made in a single sum as soon as administratively possible following the Committee’s approval.
