Corporate Governance Measures

• UDF IV will add an additional independent (as that term is defined under NASDAQ listing requirements) trustee to its Board. The new trustee will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the SEC, and will have at least three years of relevant real estate experience at a public company. The new trustee will serve as Chairman of the Audit Committee;

• UDF IV will appoint a qualified person to serve in the capacity of Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) for UDF IV and United Development Funding V, and potentially other affiliated entities, who will focus on overseeing compliance with local, state and federal laws, as well as Company policies. The CCO will have at least three (3) years relevant experience at a public company.

• UDF IV’s CCO will oversee and (as necessary) develop a comprehensive legal compliance and ethics program (the “Compliance Program”) designed to evaluate, maintain and correct overall compliance with all federal and state laws and regulations in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”).

• UDF IV will implement revisions to its related party transaction policy. The revisions to the related party transaction policy are attached to the Stipulation as Exhibit A.

• The Audit Committee shall review, for each Significant Borrower (defined as a borrower that has aggregate borrowings across their affiliated companies in excess of 15% of UDF IV’s aggregate loan portfolio) transaction origination, a Closing Memorandum which describes the proposed transaction, the proposed loan or investment request (including amount, term and interest rate), proposed collateral, project overview, engineering due diligence and exit strategy analysis. The Audit Committee shall consider the Significant Borrower transaction in accordance with the Procedures pertaining to related party transactions set forth in the related party transaction policy.

• UDF IV will ensure the accuracy of its accounting policy disclosures by, among other things, requiring senior internal accounting staff to work in concert with UDF IV’s independent auditor when describing UDF IV’s accounting policies in its annual reports (Form 10-K).

• UDF IV’s Board (and each subcommittee) shall meet at least four times per year and shall maintain proper minutes accurately reflecting at an appropriate level of detail of Board discussions and resolutions.

Each trustee shall annually attend at least six hours of director continuing education programs, conferences or similar presentations as shall be approved by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board.

• UDF IV will enhance the currently-existing “whistleblower” policy and update UDF IV’s employee handbook to reflect the enhanced policy. UDF IV shall keep a log of any reports of potential misconduct that are submitted pursuant to the whistleblower policy. Reports of violations will be logged and monitored by the CCO and responded to in accordance with the UDF IV’s compliance program (above). The CCO, after receiving “whistleblower” reports, will present the reports to the Audit Committee.

• UDF IV will implement the agreed governance changes set forth herein for a period of three years following final Court approval of the Action.
