Note 4. Real Estate Properties

        As of December 31, 2012, we owned 84 properties with an undepreciated carrying value, net of impairment losses, of $1,533,468. We generally lease space in our properties on a gross lease or modified gross lease basis pursuant to fixed term operating leases expiring between 2013 and 2027. Certain of our government tenants have the right to terminate their leases before the lease term expires. Our leases generally require us to pay all or some property operating expenses and to provide all or most property management services. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we entered into 48 leases for 1,192,532 rentable square feet for a weighted average (by revenue) lease term of 5.7 years and we made commitments for approximately $13,696 of leasing related costs. We have unspent leasing related obligations of approximately $9,538 as of December 31, 2012.

        Our future minimum lease payments related to our properties (excluding real estate tax and other expense reimbursements) scheduled to be received during the current terms of the existing leases as of December 31, 2012 are as follows:

2013	$	199,329
2014		189,149
2015		170,039
2016		150,622
2017		131,225
Thereafter		339,292
	$	1,179,656

        As of December 31, 2012, government tenants who currently represent approximately 3.3% of our total future minimum lease payments have currently exercisable rights to terminate their leases before the stated expirations. In 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, early termination rights become exercisable by other government tenants who currently represent an additional approximately 3.8%, 3.6%, 0.4%, 12.6%, 5.6%, 2.0%, 7.7% and 1.6% of our total future minimum lease payments, respectively. In addition as of December 31, 2012, 12 of our state government tenants have the currently exercisable right to terminate their leases if these states do not appropriate rent in their respective annual budgets. These 12 tenants represent approximately 7.1% of our total future minimum lease payments.

        During the year ended December 31, 2012, we acquired 12 office properties and one office warehouse property located in nine states for an aggregate purchase price of $213,974, excluding acquisition costs. We allocated the purchase prices of these acquisitions based on the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as follows:
