Lessee shall pay all Ad Valorem taxes or assessment of Lease Products or Lease Product reserves made by any local, state or federal entity or governmental unit attributable to, or resulting from the assessment of Lease Products from the Leased Premises regardless of the percentage of royalty paid to Lessor. Lessee shall, in addition, pay any and all severance taxes or other excise taxes arising out of or relating to this Lease and/or the Lease Products.
