You can't roll it into another 401k until you have a new job with an employer who has a 401k. You can roll the balance into an IRA without paying taxes or penalties. The unpaid loan balance will show up at tax time as an early distribution -- you'll pay income taxes + a 10% penalty. Save some $$ now & get your taxes done early so you know how much money you'll need by 4/15.
