Financing Arrangement:

On September 30, 2009, the Company formed a joint venture whereby a third party acquired a 49.9% interest in Chandler Fashion Center, a 1,318,000 square foot regional shopping center in Chandler, Arizona, and Freehold Raceway Mall, a 1,552,000 square foot regional shopping center in Freehold, New Jersey (collectively referred to herein as "Chandler Freehold"). As a result of the Company having certain rights under the agreement to repurchase the assets after the seventh year of the formation of Chandler Freehold, the transaction did not qualify for sale treatment. The Company, however, is not obligated to repurchase the assets. The Company accounts for its investment in Chandler Freehold as a financing arrangement. The fair value (Level 3 measurement) of the financing arrangement obligation at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was based upon a terminal capitalization rate of approximately 5.75% and 5.5%, respectively, a discount rate of approximately 7.25% and 7.0%, respectively, and market rents per square foot of $35 to $105. The fair value of the financing arrangement obligation is sensitive to these significant unobservable inputs and a change in these inputs may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Distributions to the partner, excluding distributions of excess loan proceeds, and changes in fair value of the financing arrangement obligation are recognized as interest (income) expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred interest expense (income) in connection with the financing arrangement as follows:
