To Belden & Blake LLC, EAP Ohio LLC, Petrox Inc., Payday Holdings, LLC, Dr. Henry H. Clapper, Robert B. Clark, and Dr. Glenn C. Dowell Sr., their successors or assigns (the "Lessees"):
Terredigm Two Investments L.P. (the "Owner") owns approximately 18.78 acres, more or less, of real property located in Section 13 of Canton Township, Stark County, Ohio, being Parcel Nos. 10009704 and 10009703 (the "Property"), and more fully described in Stark County Instrument Nos. 202506270022136 and 202507090023657.
On March 30, 1966, Merle H. Fankhauser and Pearl G. Fankhauser (the original lessor and Owner's predecessor-in-interest) leased the Property to Belden & Blake Oil Production in an oil and gas lease recorded August 24, 1966, in Stark County Lease Records Volume 139, Page 213 (the "Lease"). Pursuant to the public land records of Stark County, Ohio, the Lessees are either the original lessee under the Lease or the successors in title to Belden & Blake Oil Production.
Pursuant to Section 5301.332 of the Ohio Revised Code, Lessees are hereby notified that there are no producing wells drilled under the terms of the Lease, no operations for oil or gas being conducted on any of the lands covered by the Lease under the terms of the Lease, and no other provision holds the Lease beyond its primary term. Therefore, the Lease is forfeited, terminated, or has otherwise expired by its own terms. The Owner is not now, nor have they ever, received rents or royalties from production under the Lease, and the Owner would refuse to accept payment of rentals or royalties under the Lease if they were offered. The Owner considers the Lease to be forfeited and void.
It is the intention of the Owner to file for record an Affidavit of Forfeiture in the public land records of Stark County, Ohio, pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section 5301.332 if Lessees, their respective successors or assigns, do not have the Lease released of record within thirty (30) days of receipt of this Notice or, if service cannot be completed by certified mail, thirty (30) days from the date of the publication of this Notice.
