In determining, as required by Section 3320.2, whether the estimated cost of initiating and conducting such repressuring operations will exceed the estimated value of the increased production resulting from such operations, the supervisor shall exclude from consideration that portion of the cost of initiating and conducting such repressuring operations which any interested person or persons agree to bear, in addition to the portion of the cost of such operations which such person or persons would otherwise be obligated to bear pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (e) of Section 3322 under arrangements for the conditional repayment of such excess portion from increased production as follows:
(a)
Each person bearing a part of such excess portion of the cost of initiating and conducting such repressuring operations shall recover the amount so borne, plus interest on the unpaid balance thereof at the rate of 312 percent per annum compounded semiannually by receiving, until fully repaid, his pro rata share, based upon his proportionate contribution from an amount not less than 60 percent or more than 90 percent, which, in the judgment of the supervisor, shall from time to time be determined to be fair and reasonable to all persons concerned, of that proportion of the increased production thereafter produced that the said excess portion of the cost of initiating and conducting such repressuring operations bears to the total cost of initiating and conducting such repressuring operations.(b)
If the supervisor shall find the offer of such person or persons to bear the excess portion of the cost of initiating and conducting such repressuring operations to be feasible, fair and reasonable, any order for repressuring operations made by the supervisor, in addition to its other provisions, shall set forth the time, manner and terms upon which such excess portion of the cost of initiating and conducting repressuring operations shall be borne by such person or persons until repaid to such person or persons from increased production as above provided.
