Affiliate Supply Agreement.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we have recorded approximately $60 million in capital expenditures for amounts expended under two supply agreements entered into with an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, LLC (Apollo) to provide certain fracturing materials to our Eagle Ford drilling operations.
Management Fee Agreement. In January 2014, we paid a quarterly management fee of $6.25 million to our private equity investors (affiliates of Apollo, Riverstone Holdings LLC, Access Industries and Korea National Oil Corporation, collectively the Sponsors). Additionally, upon the closing of our initial public offering in January 2014, we paid the Sponsors an additional transaction fee equal to approximately $83 million.  We recorded both of these fees in general and administrative expense. Our Management Fee Agreement with the Sponsors, including the obligation to pay the quarterly management fee, terminated automatically in accordance with its terms upon the closing of our initial public offering in January 2014.
