$100,000 additional huh...Let's use some round numbers to determine what that means...
If by cashing out you incurred an extra 100k at 30% as opposed to the 15% you would have expected:

4) You withdraw early and owe ~$195,000 in taxes, as opposed to the ~$95,000 you expected to pay had you held for a year.
