Exhibit 10.7.4

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF CBL & ASSOCIATES PROPERTIES, INC.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

In November 2007, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors voted to make the following adjustments to the schedule of fees that had been in effect since January 1, 2005 governing the cash portion of the Company’s compensation arrangements for each Director not employed by the Company (a “Non-Employee Director”):

 
 
Description
Amount of Fee
Prior to
January 1, 2008
New Fees
Effective
January 1, 2008
Annual Fee for each Non-Employee Director
$27,500
$30,000
     
Meeting Fee for each Board, Compensation Committee, Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee or Audit Committee Meeting Attended*
$1,500
$1,750
     
Monthly Fee for each Non-Employee Director Who Serves as a Member of the Executive Committee (in lieu of Executive Committee Meeting Fees)
$750
$875
     
Monthly Fee for the Audit Committee Chairman*
$2,000
$2,250
     
Fee for each Telephonic Board or Committee Meeting
$750
$875

*The Non-Employee Director who serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee receives a monthly fee in lieu of meeting fees for his participation on the Audit Committees.

Each Non-Employee director also receives reimbursement of expenses incurred in attending meetings.

Each fiscal year of the Company, Non-Employee Directors also receive either an annual grant of options to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock having an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on December 31 of such fiscal year or up to 1,000 shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company (each as adjusted to reflect a two-for-one stock split of our Common Stock, which was effected in the form of a stock dividend as of June 15, 2005).  The restrictions on shares of Common Stock received by the Non-Employee Directors are set forth in the Stock Incentive Plan and provide that such shares may not be transferred during the Non-Employee Director’s term and for one year thereafter. Each holder of a Non-Employee Director option granted pursuant to the above-stated arrangement has the same rights as other holders of options in the event of a change in control.  Options granted to the Non-Employee Directors (i) shall have a term of 10 years from date of grant, (ii) are 100% vested upon grant, (iii) are non-forfeitable prior to the expiration of the term except upon the Non-Employee Director’s conviction for any criminal activity involving the Company or, if non-exercised, within one year following the date the Non-Employee Director ceases to be a director of the Company, and (iv) are non-transferable.

In addition, any person who becomes a Non-Employee Director will receive an initial grant of 1,000 shares of restricted Common Stock upon joining the Board of Directors (as adjusted to reflect a two-for-one stock split of our Common Stock, which was effected in the form of a stock dividend as of June 15, 2005).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
To the Members of
JG Gulf Coast Town Center, LLC:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of JG Gulf Coast Town Center, LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, members’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the accompanying statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 have been restated.

JG GULF COAST TOWN CENTER, LLC
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008 AND FOR THE
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2008, AND 2007
 

1.  
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization — JG Gulf Coast Town Center, LLC (the “Company”) was formed in July 2003 for the purpose of developing, owning, and operating Gulf Coast Town Center, a regional open-air shopping center in Ft. Myers, FL. On April 27, 2005, JG Gulf Coast Member LLC and CBL/Gulf Coast, LLC a 100% owned subsidiary of CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (“CBL”) formed a 50/50 joint venture when CBL/Gulf Coast, LLC was admitted to the Company as a 50% member. CBL/Gulf Coast, LLC contributed $40,334,978 in exchange for its 50% member interest. The Company then distributed that amount to JG Gulf Coast Member LLC as reimbursement of the aggregate acquisition and development costs incurred with respect to the project, which were previously paid by JG Gulf Coast Member LLC.

Under the terms of the joint venture agreement (the “Agreement”), CBL/Gulf Coast, LLC must provide any additional equity necessary to fund the development of the property, as well as fund up to an aggregate of $30,000,000 of operating deficits of the Company. Cash flows of the Company are distributed to the members in accordance with the priority of each member’s capital account and, upon equalization between the members, cash flow will be shared equally.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, members’ deficit of the Company was as follows:

 
2009
 
2008
       
CBL/Gulf Coast, LLC
  $      (1,601,531)
 
  $      (4,241,355)

  (9,343,521)
       
Total
  $    (14,043,359)
 
  $    (13,584,876)

The members’ equity accounts included in the accompanying balance sheets were determined based upon the initial contributions of each respective member being recorded at the carrying value of the contributed assets upon the formation of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, the distribution of cash flows to the members is determined based upon the priority of each member’s capital account as set forth in the Agreement. There have been certain distributions to CBL/Gulf Coast, LLC, which for GAAP purposes were recorded at carryover basis and at fair value for purposes of determining the capital accounts in accordance with the Agreement. Accordingly, the capital accounts as determined in accordance with the Agreement differ from the capital accounts recorded in accompanying balance sheets.  As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, members’ capital accounts as determined in accordance with the Agreement were as summarized in the table below. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.

The members can earn an 11% preferred return on any unreturned mandatory contributions.

In connection with obtaining the mortgage note payable discussed in Note 2, CBL guaranteed that the Company would complete construction and tenant improvement work related to certain leases. The total exposure under this guarantee was $503,358 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. CBL’s obligation is reduced as construction and tenant improvement work is completed. In connection with obtaining the construction loan (as discussed in Note 2), CBL has guaranteed 100% of the outstanding balance of the loan. The guarantee will expire upon the repayment of the debt. If CBL is required to perform under any of these guarantees, then CBL has the right to obtain indemnity of its costs from the Company as well as to assume the rights of the lender, as applicable.

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

Restatement — Subsequent to the issuance of the 2008 financial statements, the Company's management determined that $1,361,697 and $6,438,048 of cash paid during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for additions to real estate assets were presented as operating activities and that such additions should have been presented as investing activities. Additionally, the Company previously excluded the noncash disclosures related to additions to real estate assets accrued but not yet paid as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. As a result, the statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 have been restated from amounts previously reported as follows:

In addition, contributions by and distributions to members for 2008 and 2007 previously presented on a net basis in the statements of members' deficit and the statements of cash flows have been corrected and are presented on a gross basis to conform to the current year presentation and ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows.
 
Revenue Recognition — Fixed minimum rents from operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases. Certain tenants are required to pay percentage rent if their sales volumes exceed thresholds specified in their lease agreements. Percentage rent is recognized as revenue when the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable.

The Company receives reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other recoverable operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the related operating expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants over periods of 5 to 15 years and are recognized as revenue when earned.
 
7


Real Estate Assets — Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of buildings and improvements (20 to 40 years) and equipment (5 to 10 years). Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease. Depreciation expense was $7,445,835, $7,511,781 and $5,417,706 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets — The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events or changes in circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when its estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than its carrying value. If it is determined that an impairment has occurred, the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value will be charged to operations. There were no impairment charges in 2009, 2008 or 2007.

Deferred Leasing Costs — Deferred leasing costs include direct costs incurred to originate a lease and are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases. Amortization expense was $279,027, $246,254 and $128,042 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $592,403 and $360,607 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs — Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing and are amortized using the straight-line method to interest expense over the term of the mortgage note payable. Amortization expense was $319,783, $283,642 and $153,188 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $695,628 and $375,845 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Income Taxes — No provision has been made for federal and state income taxes since these taxes are the responsibility of the members.

Other Income — Other income includes gifts and commissions and other miscellaneous customer and tenant receipts.  In 2007, the Company received $1,000,000 from adjacent property owners under an easement agreement.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements — The Company has categorized its financial assets and financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, or identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Market valuations must often be determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models, or similar techniques based on the Company’s assumptions and best judgment.

As of December 31, 2009, no assets or liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

2.  
MORTGAGE AND OTHER NOTES PAYABLE
 
On June 21, 2007, the Company obtained a non-recourse, commercial mortgage-backed securities loan from KeyBank National Association (“Keybank”), acting in the capacity of the servicer of the loan (the “Servicer”) in the amount of $190,800,000, the proceeds of which were used to repay the existing construction loans with availability of $52,000,000 and $119,680,000. This loan matures July 2017 and bears interest at 5.601%. The monthly payments of $890,559 are interest only with a balloon payment of $190,800,000, plus unpaid interest due on the maturity date. The mortgage note payable is collateralized by the shopping center properties and assignment of all leases.

The note payable contains, among other covenants, restrictions on incurrence of indebtedness and transfers and sales of assets. The note payable also requires that a minimum debt service coverage ratio be maintained for the purpose of establishing a cash management account with the Servicer.  As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not meet the minimum required debt service coverage ratio. Therefore, as required under the terms of the note payable, the Company funded $2,508,053 for certain escrow reserves during 2009. Additionally, the Company began operating under a cash management agreement with the Servicer, until such time that the Company meets the required minimum debt service coverage ratio. The Servicer maintains control over the Company’s cash account and on a monthly basis releases cash to the Company after the monthly debt service and escrow funding are collected.  The Company’s net operating cash flows were sufficient to meet its debt service requirements for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

In connection with the origination of the note payable, the Company was required to obtain an additional collateral letter of credit for the benefit of the Servicer. The letter of credit was required to provide the Servicer with additional collateral if the rental income to be received by the Company under a certain tenant lease was less than an amount specified in the note payable. The amount of the letter of credit is reduced as the tenant’s sales exceed certain thresholds. The amount specified in the note payable was $4,590,503 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. During 2009, the letter of credit expired and the Company deposited cash in escrow with the Servicer in the amount of $4,590,503 as a replacement of the letter of credit.
 
In May 2008, the Company obtained a recourse construction loan with total availability of $11,775,000 for Gulf Coast Town Center Phase III (“Phase III”) with KeyBank at a rate of 150 basis points over the one month London InterBank Offered Rate. The loan matures in April 2010 and has two one-year extensions available, at the Company’s election. The outstanding balance was $11,560,980 and $10,979,070 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The construction loan is collateralized by Phase III and assignment of all leases.

The fair value of mortgage and other notes payable was $171,705,922 and $168,167,990 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The fair value was calculated by discounting future cash flows for the notes payable using an estimated market rate of 8.5% and 8.5% at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
3.  
RENTAL INCOME UNDER OPERATING LEASES

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
To the Members of
Triangle Town Member, LLC:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Triangle Town Member, LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, members’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three years then ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

TRIANGLE TOWN MEMBER, LLC
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008 AND FOR THE
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2008 AND 2007
 

1.  
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization — Triangle Town Member, LLC (the “Company”) was formed on November 16, 2005, for the purpose of owning and operating Triangle Town Center, a regional shopping mall in Raleigh, NC; an attached lifestyle center, Triangle Town Commons; and an adjacent associated center, Triangle Town Place. The Company is a joint venture with the following members:


 
 
Ownership
 
Member
Interest
 
     
CBL Triangle Town Member, LLC
   50.000
REJ Realty LLC
  49.500
 
JG Realty Investors Corp.
  0.484
 
JG Manager LLC
  0.016
 

 
The initial contribution of REJ Realty LLC, JG Realty Investors Corp., and JG Manager LLC (collectively, the “REJ Members”) consisted of the three shopping centers, which were recorded on the Company’s balance sheets at their carryover basis. CBL Triangle Member, LLC (“CBL Member”) made an initial cash contribution of $1,472,433. Concurrent with its formation, the Company entered into a nonrecourse mortgage loan of $200,000,000 (see Note 2). The net proceeds from the loan were used to retire an existing construction loan totaling $121,828,000, and the remaining net proceeds were paid to the REJ Members as a partial return of their equity contribution. The Company’s equity will be equalized between the REJ Members and CBL Member through future contributions by CBL Member and through property cash flow distributions.

Under the terms of the joint venture agreement (the “Agreement”), CBL Member is required to fund any additional equity necessary for capital expenditures, including future development or expansion of the Company’s properties, and any operating deficits up to a maximum of $30,000,000. The Company’s profits and losses are allocated to the REJ Members and CBL Member in accordance with their respective ownership interests. CBL Member receives a preferred return on its invested capital in the Company. After payment of such preferred return and repayment of CBL Member’s invested capital and repayment of the balance of the REJ Members’ equity, the REJ Members and CBL Member will share equally in the Company’s cash flows.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, members’ deficit of the Company was as follows:


 
 
2009
2008
     
CBL Triangle Town Member, LLC
  $    (12,525,053)
  $       (9,133,768)
REJ Realty, LLC
  (37,594,300)
  (34,235,371)
JG Realty Investors Corp.
  (367,588)
  (334,745)
JG Manager, LLC
  (12,153)
  (11,067)
     
 
  $     (50,499,094)
  $     (43,714,951)

 
The member’s equity accounts included in the accompanying balance sheets were determined based upon the initial contributions of each respective member being recorded at the carrying value of the contributed assets upon the formation of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, the distribution of cash flows to the members is determined based upon the priority of each member’s capital account as set forth in the Agreement. Under the Agreement, each member’s initial capital contribution was determined based upon the agreed-upon values as set forth in the Agreement, which were not equal to the historical carryover basis recorded in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the capital accounts as determined in accordance with the Agreement differ from the capital accounts recorded in accompanying balance sheets.  As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, members’ capital accounts as determined in accordance with the Agreement were as summarized in the table below. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning as set forth in the Agreement.

REJ Members’ unreturned initial capital
$         78,842,496
 
$         78,842,496
 
The CBL Member earns an 11% interest return on any mandatory contributions; the REJ Members earn a 2% interest return on their shortfall capital.

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

Revenue Recognition — Fixed minimum rents from operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases. Certain tenants are required to pay percentage rent if their sales volumes exceed thresholds specified in their lease agreements. Percentage rent is recognized as revenue when the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable.

The Company receives reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other recoverable operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the related operating expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants over periods of 5 to 15 years and are recognized as revenue when earned.

Real Estate Assets — Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of buildings and improvements (20–40 years) and equipment (5–10 years). Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease. Depreciation expense was $9,601,448, $9,342,066 and $10,198,070 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was $37,275,432 and $28,561,831 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets — The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events or changes in circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when its estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than its carrying value. If it is determined that an impairment has occurred, the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value will be charged to operations. There were no impairment charges in December 31, 2009, 2008 or 2007.

Cash — The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash.

Deferred Leasing Costs — Deferred leasing costs include direct costs incurred to originate a lease and are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases. Amortization expense was $595,896, $662,593 and $669,052 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $2,100,294 and $1,643,705 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Deferred Financing Costs — Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing and are amortized using the straight-line method to interest expense over the term of the mortgage note payable. Amortization expense was $90,113, $90,114 and $90,113 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $307,214 and $217,101 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
7


Other Assets — Other assets include cash of $1,478,777 and $386,348 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, that was deposited in escrow, which is to be used for the payment of real estate taxes and insurance in accordance with the terms of the Company’s mortgage note payable (see Note 2), as well as contributions received from tenants that are to be used for future marketing activities.

Income Taxes — No provision has been made for federal and state income taxes since these taxes are the responsibility of the members.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements — The Company has categorized its financial assets and financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Market valuations must often be determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models, or similar techniques based on the Company’s assumptions and best judgment.

As of December 31, 2009, no assets or liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

2.  
MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE
 
Concurrent with the formation of the Company, the Company obtained a non-recourse, commercial mortgage-backed securities loan from Wachovia Bank, a division of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., acting in the capacity of the servicer of the loan (the “Servicer”), that matures on December 5, 2015, and bears interest at 5.74%. The monthly payments are interest-only in the amount of $956,167, until January 5, 2008. The monthly payments of $1,197,282 thereafter include principal and interest. A balloon payment of $170,713,179, plus unpaid interest, is due on the maturity date. The mortgage note payable is collateralized by the shopping center properties and assignment of all leases.

The note payable contains, among other covenants, restrictions on incurrence of indebtedness and transfers and sales of assets. The note payable also requires that a minimum debt service coverage ratio be maintained for the purpose of establishing a cash management account with the Servicer.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company did not meet the minimum required debt service coverage ratio and as a result the Company is in the process of placing the property under a cash management agreement with the Servicer. In addition to placing the property under a cash management agreement, the Company will be required to fund certain escrow reserves as required under the note agreement, until such time that the Company meets the required minimum debt service coverage ratio. Once the property is placed under the cash management agreement, the Servicer will maintain control over the Company’s cash account and on a monthly basis release cash to the Company after the monthly debt service and escrow funding are received.  The Company’s net operating cash flows were sufficient to meet its debt service requirements for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.
 
8


The fair value of the mortgage note payable was $170,278,768 and $154,874,988 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The fair value was calculated by discounting future cash flows for the note payable using an estimated market rate of 8.5% at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Scheduled principal payments on the mortgage note payable are as follows:
