 is a party to two interest rate swap agreements that effectively fix the interest rate on 100% of the joint venture's mortgage debt through May 2025 at 6.39%, and 50% of its outstanding debt from June 2025 through May 2028 at 6.03%. All swaps were designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Hedge ineffectiveness has not impacted earnings in 2024, 2023 and 2022.Mortgage Notes ReceivableWe have invested in certain mortgage loans that, because of their nature, qualify as loan receivables. At the time of investment, we did not intend for the arrangement to be anything other than a financing and did not contemplate a real estate investment. We evaluate each investment to determine whether the loan arrangement qualifies as a loan, joint venture or real estate investment and the appropriate accounting thereon. Such determination affects our balance sheet classification of these investments and the recognition of interest income derived therefrom.Mortgage notes receivable are recorded at cost, net of any valuation adjustments. We account for mortgage notes receivable using the "expected credit loss" model, and accordingly impairment losses are estimated and recorded for the entire life of the loan. Interest income is accrued as earned. Mortgage notes receivable are considered past due based on the contractual terms of the note agreement.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due under the existing contractual terms. When a loan is considered impaired, the amount of the loss accrual is calculated by comparing the carrying amount of the mortgage note receivable to the present value of expected future cash flows. As our loans are collateralized by mortgages, these loans have risk characteristics similar to the risks in owning commercial real estate.At December 31, 2024, we had three mortgage notes receivable with an aggregate carrying amount, net of valuation adjustments of $9.1 million, and a weighted average interest rate of 11.0%. Share Based CompensationWe grant share based compensation awards to employees and trustees typically in the form of restricted common shares, common shares, and options. We measure share based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of the award and recognize the expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is
