Any contract or other agreement which purports to exercise the powers authorized by this subsection is subject to review by the Contingency Review Board, as specified in Section 3225 of this title.

C. If a contracting entity fails to take possession of the leased premises or abandons or surrenders possession of the leased premises, other than to a state agency, at any time during the term of the lease between the University Hospitals Trust and the contracting entity, the interest in the real property leased to the University Hospitals Trust by the University Hospitals Authority shall revert to and be the sole and exclusive property of the University Hospitals Authority.
