I am the attorney for _____________________________, Participating Administrative
Entity. I hereby certify that all of the legal requirements for closing set out in the Commitment
for FHA Mortgage Insurance and the OAHP Restructuring Commitment and M2M Operating
Procedures Guide have been met. All closing documents in this transaction that require
recordation have been duly filed of record in the proper order. I am in receipt of a policy of title
insurance effective as of this date, which names the Mortgagee and the Secretary of HUD as the
insured parties, and that insures that the Section 223(a)(7) Deed of Trust/Mortgage constitutes a
valid first lien. Your endorsement of the Deed of Trust/Mortgage Note for FHA mortgage
insurance is now in order. I acknowledge that the making of a false statement of fact in this
certification may lead to criminal prosecution or civil liability as provided pursuant to applicable
law, which may include 18 U.S.C. 1001, 1010, 1012; 13 U.S.C. 3729, 3802.
