On October 26, 2010, our subsidiaries entered into nine purchase and sale agreements with certain affiliates of Columbia Development Companies and Columbia 90 Associates, L.L.C. for the acquisition of nine medical office buildings (the "Portfolio"). The aggregate purchase price for the Portfolio is approximately $196,646,000, plus closing costs.

As of December 30, 2010, we had acquired eight of the nine buildings in the Portfolio, including 1365 and 1375 Washington Avenue, Patroon Creek, 1092 Madison, Capital Region Health Park, Florida Orthopedic Institute, Putnam Ambulatory Surgery Center and CDPHP Corporate Headquarters, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $187,464,000, plus closing costs. We paid approximately $92,358,000 in cash, using the net proceeds from our follow-on offering, and also assumed approximately $95,106,000 of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 5.8% and a weighted average term of 4.6 years.
