If oil or gas is assigned as security for debt or otherwise, the tax shall be likewise paid by the assignee, and the tax shall constitute a lien upon the interest assigned, which shall be paramount to the indebtedness for which the assignment is made, and if the tax becomes delinquent, the usual penalty shall apply.
