274. If after the right to establish an underground reservoir has been revoked, an underground reservoir is established and operated, the person whose rights were revoked is entitled, as compensation, to a royalty equal to 50% of the annual rental fixed in accordance with section 202 for a lease to operate an underground reservoir, from the holder of the lease to operate an underground reservoir.

The compensation is distributed, where such is the case, among the owners of the parcels of land affected by the lease to operate an underground reservoir in proportion to the area of their parcels of land.

The royalty is payable by the holder of the lease to operate an underground reservoir, at the request of the person whose rights have been revoked, on the same dates and subject to the same conditions as those applicable to the payment of the annual rental fixed in accordance with section 202 in respect of a lease to operate an underground reservoir.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person entitled to an indemnity under this section may, after making an agreement with the lessee, obtain the payment of a lump sum instead of an annual royalty.
