If any such tax or fee is enacted or altered so that such tax or fee is levied against Landlord or so that Landlord is responsible for collection or payment thereof, then Tenant shall pay as additional rent the amount of such tax or fee to Landlord, plus any delinquency fees or professional fees related thereto with respect to any late payment by Tenant of such additional rent, within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s written request therefor.
