The distance penalty for any foul can be declined, however, if an ejection accompanies the foul that cannot be declined.
So when rule 10 refers to "distance penalty" it is simply separtating distance from other consequences.
So in all cases you either accept or decline the "distance" consequences of a foul. A team cannot decline the "distance" penalty while accepting the enforcement spot as the succeeding spot.
It's all or nothing.
