or to pay any tax or fee as a corporation organized under the laws of the state for

or issuing a part or all of its capital or property in this state, fails or neglects
to make such report or return or to pay any such tax or fee for ninety days after
the time prescribed by law for making such report or return or paying such tax or
fee, the tax commissioner shall certify such fact to the secretary of state. The secretary of state shall thereupon cancel the articles of incorporation of any
such corporation which is organized under the laws of this state, by appropriate entry,

by such articles of incorporation or by such certificate of authority shall cease,
subject to section 1701.88 of the Revised Code . The secretary of state shall immediately notify such domestic or foreign corporation
of the action taken by him, and shall also forward for filing a certificate of the
action so taken to the county recorder of the county in which the principal place
of business of the corporation in this state is located, for which filing no fee shall
be charged.
