the Premises or al)Y part thereof, shall hereafter be operated under any such cooperative or unit plan of development or operation whereby the production
therefrom is allocated to different poi·tions of the land covered by said plan, then the production allocated to any particular tract ofland shall, for the purpose
of computing the royalties to be paid hereunder to Lessor, be regarded as having been produced Jrom the particular tract of land to which it is allocated and
not to any other tract of land; and royalty payments to be made hereunder to Lessor shall be based upon production only as so allocated. Lessor shall
formally express Lessor's consent to any cooperative or unit plan of development or operation adopted by Lessee and approved by any governmental agency
