Note 4. Real Estate Properties

        As of December 31, 2013, we owned 68 properties (87 buildings), excluding three properties (three buildings) classified as discontinued operations, with an undepreciated carrying value of $1,568,562. We generally lease space in our properties on a gross lease or modified gross lease basis pursuant to fixed term operating leases expiring between 2014 and 2029. 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, 2013, we entered into 48 leases for 1,017,753 rentable square feet for a weighted (by revenue) average lease term of 8.7 years and we made commitments for approximately $25,495 of leasing related costs. We have unspent leasing related obligations of approximately $16,557 as of December 31, 2013.

        Our future minimum lease payments related to our properties, excluding properties classified as discontinued operations and estimated real estate tax and other expense reimbursements, scheduled to be received during the current terms of the existing leases as of December 31, 2013 are as follows:

2014

  $ 214,261  

2015

    198,986  

2016

    178,076  

2017

    153,036  

2018

    128,404  

Thereafter

    342,036  
       

 

  $ 1,214,799  
       
       

        As of December 31, 2013, excluding properties classified as discontinued operations, government tenants who currently represent approximately 3.6% of our total future minimum lease payments have currently exercisable rights to terminate their leases before the stated expirations. In 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022, early termination rights become exercisable by other government tenants who currently represent an additional approximately 2.6%, 3.5%, 9.7%, 3.1%, 1.7%, 8.8%, 5.9%, 1.4% and 2.3% of our total future minimum lease payments, respectively. In addition as of December 31, 2013, 10 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 10 tenants represent approximately 6.5% of our total future minimum lease payments. Also, one of our U.S. Government tenants has the option, pursuant to its lease, to acquire the property it leases from us, with a depreciated carrying value of $33,058 as of December 31, 2013, for $31,000 at the end of its lease term in 2015. We expect the depreciated carrying value of the property will be equal to or less than the tenant's purchase option price at the end of its lease term in 2015.

Acquisition Activities

        During the year ended December 31, 2013, we acquired four office properties (seven buildings) and one warehouse property (one building) located in four states for an aggregate purchase price of $99,518, 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:
