- mediumDocument-quality defect — UNITED DEVELOPMENT FUND IV OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.The cover page / table-of-contents caption names the issuer 'United Development FUND IV' but the executed agreement, recitals, signature pages and Exhibit A all name it 'United Development FUNDING IV', creating a mismatched issuer name in the header vs. the body.
- lowBroken cross-reference — Section 9.2(b)Broken enumeration in Section 9.2(b): the list of permitted withdrawals jumps from clause (i) directly to clause (iii), omitting clause (ii) entirely.

- infoSpelling / typo — chance the termsTypo in the General Partner's enumerated borrowing powers: 'chance the terms' should read 'change the terms' (compare the parallel clause (vi) which correctly says 'change the terms').
- infoSpelling / typo — which. if presentedBroken sentence in Section 6.6 with an erroneous period mid-sentence: 'of a character which. if presented' should read 'of a character which, if presented'.
