Loan against 403(b) after separation of service

If you have an existing 403b that you never moved from an old employer, are you allowed to take a loan against this retirement plan?  If the plan administrator allowed for a loan to be taken out, but the IRS rules state that this is not allowed, what would the potential penalty be?

Review the 403(b) plan agreement.  The terms of the 403(b) plan agreement determine whether or not you are permitted to take a loan from the 403(b) after separation from service.

To clarify, the IRS does not have a rule against taking out a loan against a 403(b) after separation of service?  This would be a case by case scenario based on the specific 403(b)?
