Additionally, to facilitate joint development of the SW Pony Prospect, the parties agreed to an approximately 16,900 gross acre Area of Mutual Interest wherein the Joint Development Party will transfer 30% of future interests acquired by the Joint Development Party in leaseholds to PRH, and PRH will transfer 70% of future interests acquired by PRH in leaseholds to the Joint Development Party, in each case at an acquisition cost proportionate to their respective interests. The assigned interests will be subject to an overriding royalty, such that the assigning party shall deliver to the other party leasehold interests with an 80% net revenue interest, and the parties agreed that the Joint Development Party will be the operator of the combined leaseholds. The Participation Agreement specifically addresses the Harlequin Wells, which are existing wells within the SW Pony Prospect, whereby PRH acquired a 30% undivided interest in six Harlequin Wells as part of the leasehold assignment. The Company correspondingly paid $8.6 million in capital costs (included in the $20.5 million number above) related to these wells.
