Optional Redemption Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Terms Supplement, Xxxxxxx Mac may at its option redeem the outstanding Classes of REMIC Certificates of each Series (or, in the case of a Double-Tier Series, the outstanding Lower-Tier Classes of any Lower-Tier REMIC Pool) in whole, but not in part, upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days' notice, on any Payment Date when the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Classes, after giving effect to principal payments to be made on such Payment Date, would be less than 1% of the aggregate original principal amount of such Classes. Any optional redemption shall be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount of the Classes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest for the Accrual Period relating to the applicable Payment Date. In order to effect an optional redemption, Xxxxxxx Mac shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation meeting the requirements of a ""qualified liquidation'' under Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code. Pursuant to the plan, Xxxxxxx Mac shall liquidate all of the Assets and any other assets in the REMIC Pool (or, in the case of a Double-Tier Series, in the applicable Lower-Tier REMIC Pool) at fair market value as determined by Xxxxxxx Mac, and apply the net proceeds of such liquidation (together with funds contributed by Xxxxxxx Mac if the net proceeds are insuÇcient) to pay the redemption price. Upon any redemption of Lower-Tier Classes in a Double-Tier Series, the redemption price of the Lower-Tier Classes that constitute Mortgage Securities for the Upper-Tier REMIC Pool shall be applied as principal and interest on the outstanding Upper-Tier Classes, resulting in the retirement of those Classes. Following any redemption, any remaining proceeds from the liquidation of the Assets in the REMIC Pool (or, in the case of a Double-Tier Series, in the applicable Lower-Tier REMIC Pool), net of liquidation expenses, shall be distributed pro rata to the Holders of the related Residual Class upon surrender of their Certificates to the Registrar. Upon any redemption, any outstanding MACR Classes shall be retired from the proceeds of redemption of their related Regular Classes of REMIC Certificates. All decisions as to the making of an optional redemption, including the timing of any optional redemption, shall be at Xxxxxxx Mac's sole discretion. Xxxxxxx Mac shall be under no obligation to any Holder to make or not make an optional redemption, even if it would be in such Holder's interest.
