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.
Special Redemption Principal payments on the Secured Notes shall be made in part in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date (i) during the Reinvestment Period, if the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion notifies the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption Date that it has been unable, for a period of at least twenty (20) consecutive Business Days, to identify additional Collateral Obligations that are deemed appropriate by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion and which would satisfy the Investment Criteria in sufficient amounts to permit the investment or reinvestment of all or a portion of the funds then in the Collection Account that are to be invested in additional Collateral Obligations or (ii) after the Effective Date, if the Collateral Manager notifies the Trustee that a redemption is required pursuant to Section 7.18 in order to (A) satisfy the Effective Date S&P Conditions or (B) obtain from S&P its written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Secured Notes (each of (i) and (ii), a “Special Redemption”). On the first Payment Date following the Collection Period in which such notice is given (a “Special Redemption Date”), the amount in the Collection Account representing, as applicable, either (i) Principal Proceeds which the Collateral Manager has determined cannot be reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations will be applied as described in Section 11.1(a)(ii)(E), or (ii) Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds available therefor will be applied to pay principal of the Secured Notes in accordance with the Note Payment Sequence as described in Section 11.1(a)(i)(F) and Section 11.1(a)(ii)(C) (but in the case of this clause (ii), only to the extent that the Collateral Manager does not direct that the Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds be allocated to the purchase of additional Collateral Obligations) until the Issuer obtains written confirmation from S&P of the Initial Ratings of the Secured Notes or the Effective Date S&P Conditions have been satisfied (the applicable amount payable under clause (i) or (ii), the “Special Redemption Amount”) will be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Notice of a Special Redemption shall be given by the Trustee not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption Date (x) by email transmission, if available, and otherwise by facsimile, if available, or (y) by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities affected thereby at such Holder’s facsimile number, email address or mailing address in the Register (and, in the case of Global Notes, delivered by electronic transmission to DTC) or the Share Register, as applicable, and to the Rating Agency.
